Items

For items i start off with dorans blade for health, damage and life steal. Then, boots of mobility which makes riven an awesome ganker and chaser. Then i go for ghostblade which gives me some damage, armor pen and CD. Then i build frozen mallet for health and some damage which increases the survival. Then i got for bloodthirster for some life steal and decent damage. Then you can go for Black cleaver or phantom dancer, or maybe even both. Finally i finish off with infinity edge.

Summoner spells

I take exhaust and ignite. exhaust because im a melee fighter and exhaust gives me great advantage for kills. ignite for some finish off. i dont take ghost because riven has a great mobility.

Team Work

You can go in the first in a team fight to do some descent damgage, or you can let the tank go in first and start doing some awesome damage to the enemy.
Since she's squishy, i recommend you to go after the tank.
