Editors Letter
“Jingle bells, jingle bells” is a phrase that comes to mind as
I welcome the most wonderful time of year, the holidays. It resonates the nostalgia of sipping coffee and a fresh snowfall, while reflecting on the past year. It has been an incredible and fulfilling year as I have witnessed some of the most amazing stories and met new and exciting people. I felt their desire for success, their burning passion for being successful, their abili- ty to treasure themselves, and their desire to change the world!
I am impressed by their ideas and vision to love and accept oneself. It is with this, that many have gone through revo- lutionary changes. They have embraced their extraordinary powers, and now, are a voice, a muse, to those around them. I have met people who had dreams and dedicated their minds, body, and soul to fulfill them.
This year, I will tell myself, “I love you!” every day as an affirmation inspired by 4 SEASONS. I want to celebrate my beauty, values, knowledge, passions and talents. I want to write and read more, to do my skincare routine every morning and every night, to feel beautiful, be empowered, and inspire those around me. My advice for every reader is to please love yourself, celebrate your strengths and the uniqueness that defines you.
The editor’s letter is different this time and is instead a love letter dedicated to me and you! Enjoy every moment, smile at strangers, be part of a new adventure, don’t you ever doubt yourself, and embrace every inch of you.
Stay extraordinary, escape your bad habits and let’s jump into the Christmas and New Year season as friends who can do anything!
Happy holidays, you beautiful soul and mind!
Love, always. Anxhela Shehu Tirana

my favorite combination if it lacked the gold touch of ethno details.

as well. sometimes i compare my creation and myself with a poet, and this dress is so poetry with butterflies and drama of love inside.

I’m so glad to introduce myself to you. When I try to remember all the stages I went through, I can hardly believe that the little girl with a big dream was me, today a woman with the same desire to dream but even bigger. I want to refer to my young-
er myself, as SHE. She loved
to wear beautiful and unique pieces of clothing and to be in the spotlight. She loved televi- sion, her dream was to become famous so she decided to study Textile and Fashion Engineering. She turned into an ambitious woman, excelling in university. After graduating with a Master’s of Science, she started to give fashion lessons at the Polytech- nic University of Tirana. This gave her the confidence that she could achieve anything she put her mind too. After 2-3 years of working as an external lecturer, she realized that creating unique collections of clothing was what she wanted to focus her attention on, so she gave up teaching and opened her own fashion atelier. She enjoyed the potential of being her own boss and immedi- ately drew attention through her unique style. Today she is a well known designer and her cre- ations are influenced by Parisian style. They are minimalistic but also voluminous and bold. She has created a total of 13 collec- tions and the one she has chosen for you is called ‘Amanet”, meaning a testament to modern, avant-garde and etno spirit.

Power gets destroyed when it fails to meet more extraordinary channels. In lanes from where the vessels of the maidens return empty...
When we walk in the wrong footsteps concerning the emotional sphere... and leave our l
over behind, chaos follows.
We present you Sabi- je Dervishi
Veseli, one of the most popular writers on Amazon. She is the first Albanian au- thor to write horror stories. In this article, you will know the “Wrong marriage,” the 9th book written by the incredible writer.
“Wrong marriage” by Sabije Veseli concerns the ideals and dogmatics of marriage and the
status-quo of love.
The book is structured in
two main parts, divided into columns, named by crucial mo- ments of the storyteller’s life. Time sleeps through the
fingers of the storyteller and the main character named Ardi and his love loss, the girl of
his dreams once his girlfriend becomes the reason for

his dreams and his spiritual conversations with himself, portrayed in the book’s pages. A man loses the woman he loves, but she isn’t dead. She was right there, indeed, may- be waiting for him.
Power is fleeting—the power we possess over other people even more.
Loss is factual, and it doesn’t change over days, over months over the years. So, the time itself has no control over healing a soul grieving a lost love.
We don’t wait to become the people we want to become. Then, of course, we can es- cape and choose to ignore our flame passion, but we will still become the people we should become! This is the morals of the story, shortly.
As the realities of the book’s characters are structured by the eyes of friends, cousins, or familiars, the decisions remain theirs. The decision to be separated, feel the love in the distance, and desire for agony. They choose the life of our main character, driven by their mindset and way of thinking. Tragic, right?
Relationships take the pri- mary attention of our life. Marriage is a structural norm in the life of humans. They choose “for the rest” of their lives to breathe in the same psychic environment as their partner. It isn’t always so, for sure. Divorce usually comes
Instead of dreaming and
when love is lacking, but it doesn’t seem to be coming in the book. We fall in love many times through our lives, well... it isn’t always the love we are waiting for, the epic love, the love we watch day and night on the drama series we follow, or in the books we read, till we get to their end (If there is an end always) maybe desti- ny has other plans. Indeed,
it happens to live a mythic love story similar to the ones on Netflix, or perhaps we
are meant to believe certain things just because we don’t know any better. That’s why
I always recommend reading good books because they will introduce you to new stories and new ways of thinking and living.
Just because we don’t know any better doesn’t mean we should keep living in the
same spaces of our minds and heart. Romanticism is ironic and a little naughty because
it likes to mess with people and play with their hearts and desires. It hits you when you don’t believe it exists any- more, to remind you that the emotion is present and ready to turn your life upside down. But it does, and it comes over and over our lives every time we make room for it.
We write the outcome, so when we read sad love stories or marriages failing, we must learn from their mistakes (so we don’t get to make all the mistakes by ourselves).
21 waiting for things to be done
in one remarkable moment, we must see what we can do better in our love life, with our emotions, and what we aspire to live.
I believe our emotions are the compass to follow, and the book is conceptualized after this saying. Unfortunately, like many boys in this world, one boy chooses not to follow his feelings and create a life
of the paper, a hard life when he isn’t happy, he doesn’t feel the joy of love and satisfaction of his own decision. His wife
is miserable, his ex-girlfriend, who still loves him, isn’t pleased either, but she looks to be doing great.
The genre of the book is one of the novels with the significant emotional focus
as a result of life choices. It starts as a diary and ends as one, but it is structured similarly to a memory book. The style it follows is the storytelling one, with a rich language. We feel the roll- ercoaster of emotions, and suddenly, we are part of the doubtful thoughts of Ardi, the feelings of the fake happiness of Rina, the lost love of Arta.
You must read
“Wrong marriage,”
and we guarantee that this one is an incredible and powerful book!

LEDIA FAZLLI
The Blogger of the Season
4SEASONS


My name is Ledia Fazlli and I am a Sworn Translator.
This is the way I introduce my- self in my everyday life, but as for my passions, I would define myself as part of the art world.
My passion is about beauty and creating a unique experience for the audience. I like personalizing everything based on the character of the person, highlighting their inner world. Especially, in a world where everything is mass-produced and society is on the path to unify- ing the appearance as a desperate way to be included in its circle.
Therefore, to express my great desire for the diversity, I created my own brand LF Attitude where every accessory is made by hand and is one of a kind.
However, the journey of my desire for handmade, dates back to my childhood, where my main in- spiration was my mother who cre- ated every item I wanted by hand. While her upbringing had nothing to do with modeling and sewing different clothing items, she was very good at it. This passion was cultivated in me from a young age and I would express my talent in given opportunity, even during my studies having a pencil in my hand was more than enough to turn every book or piece of paper into
a canvas filled with dress sketches, hairbands and other clothing items.
Although I grew up in a simple middle class family and could not afford to buy expensive brands, I started working at a young age and recall my first very modest salary was spent for a LEVIS denim set. Of course, my wallet was not happy by this purchase, but the pleasure I got from buying this set so coveted by me was greater than anything, especially that I had managed to
do it myself. This is what pushed me to want more from myself so that I could keep my passion alive. Being a dancer, frequently going abroad when I was only 17 years old, inadvertently made me create my own style, different from other girls in my city. Meanwhile, I had a tendency to change clothes, add accessories to them, and transform them from time to time. I would take something from the clothes that went out of use and used that piece somewhere else. Ergo I stood out in creativity, often my style was labeled as “weird” because I was very daring with the colors and patterns used, or the way I would combine them. However, my creativity always remained only on the personal level and as a result of other engagements I did not have the opportunity to further develop this passion.

A silk tie, yellow with purple, used and set aside for years, caught my eye and I immediately turned it into a hair ribbon.
I felt grateful and happy every
time I wore it. Just a word from my husband was all it took for me to share it with others on Instagram by setting a sale price. Only a few hours passed by and a girl made it hers. This inspired and motivated me to keep on creating. Now, that Covid19 situation is somewhat normalized, I am much more com- mitted to my primary profession but this does not prevent me at
all from creating and occasionally developing new ideas to present on my business site. What inspires me to continue cultivating this passion despite all the tasks I carry on my shoulders is exactly the happiness
I experience when my work is in someone’s hand and makes them feel special, a handmade accessory hand crafted just for them.
It is so wonderful that people everywhere are starting to embrace things that are made by hand in small quantities, choosing quality over quantity. Moreover, every- thing is more beautiful when it
One day a global disease suddenly paralyzes the whole world, but not my passion. It was exactly when the journey of my creativity began. Then dreams began to come to life! Although a new mother, I still had enough free time to materialize all my ideas.
is made by heart. Based on this, I would say that the secret of art is love, and believe me, when I create something new I leave a part of myself in it. Every item is crafted as an expression of my creative spirit, which makes it unique and significant.

HASHTAG
VIbrant VIbes
Recently, lurking on Instagram, we met an amazing girl, with a great sense of fashion. She is very kind and we’d like to share with everyone her good and vibrant vibes.
A visionary girl
Her name is Keida Yzeiraj, the only child of her family, naturally, the most spoiled one. Keida has completed “Social Work” bachelor degree, and a master degree in “Social Communication”. Just like every student, here comes the difficult part! Her journey has begun and Keida is hoping to work in her profession soon (we know it will happen soon, because she likes to work, meet, know new peo- ple and to bring a wave of change in society).
A social butterfly
She is visionary and a social butterfly! Let’s talk about her Ins- tagram, which for her is like a community filled with cool, kind, special girls. They follow Keida to know more about her daily life, her style, ideas and personal opinions. This medium is like a uni- verse where Keida expresses herself and becomes a part of a larger community.
Her main goal has always been to inspire girls, so now that she has achieved it, her heart is full of delight and her mind, full of new purposes. She maintains a healthy relationship with her girls, shar- ing various advices for skin care products, fashion, and other topics they want to talk about. Keida is there for every follower she has, caring for them and cherishing them every day.
Her journey started 3 years ago, with just a few followers and her public account. Now she is grateful to be here joined by amazing people of our community.
Little did she know that her passion for fashion and lifestyle would be her new profession. A good part of Keida’s day is collaborating with different businesses through content creation. Although, she has a busy life, she still finds the time to be grateful and being able to express gratitude as part of her experience.
The inspiring fashionista
Her motto is simple, yet ingenious: “Never test the depth of water with your both legs.” When we asked Keida about her future plans, she smiled and told us that in fact, she is not a girl who makes long-terms plans. Keida calculates every decision, she takes small but safe steps every time she moves forward. With clear purpose in mind, such as: to become a safe place for every person who enters her profile, and to transmit positive feelings and joy to people; she is inspiring girls to accept themselves as they are.
“For me, they are so beautiful, smart, kind souls and my muses. They are so unique in their own way!”.

Essentials
Talking about essentials, lifestyle and fashion have always been sig- nificant for our beloved fashionista. Since she was a little girl, she al- ways liked to dress up, to combine clothes, to know which color suited her skin tone and style. “I have read many fashion magazines, so I am very happy for your invitation and opportunity” – she said, melting our hearts.
In love with life and pics
For the kind fashionista, Instagram is like a virtual diary, where she shares her most beautiful moments. She likes to have an aesthetically charming profile, so her photos al- ways have a nice chronological or- der, with similar colors.
Of course, every post is planned, so that her account has always some- thing to offer and inspire the audi- ence
Behind every nice photo, hides a patient and supportive boyfriend. With a sparkle in her eyes, Keida wants to thank her love and give him a deserved credit for assisting in creation and colour coordination of her profile.
An advice for girls?
“The only thing I can add is that for all those girls who follow me, I would tell them to enjoy their life, take care of themselves, love and work hard to make their dreams come true!”

3. Media and Magazines
Teenagers use magazines and media to evaluate what the upcoming trends are so that they may know exactly what to buy and what not to buy. Fash- ion shows/ magazines play a huge role in affecting a teenager’s lifestyle and sense of style as most of them buy clothes after looking through the latest magazines. These magazines affect, in a large way, the selection of a teenag- er’s clothes.
Most fashion magazines target teenagers, particularly girls. The magazines will put popular celebrities dressed in fancy clothes on the cover to attract young girls. You will hear her say, “Oh look who it is. I totally have to get that outfit”. These magazines then endorse the stores and companies where the celebrities buy their trendy and latest styles.
4. Celebrities
Teenagers will idolize the celebrities that they love. They look up to them for some fashion inspiration. When the teenager sees their favorite celebri- ty dressed in something that they love, they will go and buy the exact same outfit just to look like them. They will then show off the clothes to their friends.
Teenagers watch all types of reality shows to try and keep up with favorite celebrities’ styles. They will even look up to celebrities for hairstyle ideas. Basically, teenagers discover themselves through external stimuli. Celebri- ties provide the external basis from which teenagers will benchmark their opinions, thoughts, and associations.
Even though celebrities may not explicitly try to persuade their audience to go with a particular flow, they subconsciously alter their audience’s ideol- ogies. Once a celebrity publicly endorses a piece of clothing, this creates societal acceptance and has a positive impact on the overall brand image.
5. Designer Brands
Adolescents are preoccupied with social acceptance and coolness associat- ed with the clothes they wear. For this reason, teenagers will exhibit a more brand-oriented decision when they go shopping. Most teenagers will go shopping at stores where they sell quality high-end designer clothes.
When teenagers do not have the money to shop at high-end stores for designer clothes, they get stressed up. They feel that since they cannot afford the clothes they will not look good, and they will not fit in.
