I am so proud of my best friend! Irena, you have worked so hard and everyone is so proud of you! LouLou magazine couldn’t have picked a better “It” girl. Irena Rebalka is IT! Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very poised, smart, funny, down to earth and the best friend a girl could ask for!
Congratulations to Irena Rebalka!
