DIY (white jacket decorated with textile paint) - ukrašavanje bijele jakne bojom za tekstil

Here is another DIY project. This little jacket should come in handy this spring...and with this tree that I have pained on, I like it even more.

Evo još jedan uradi sam projekt....ova mi bi bijela jakna trebala dobro poslužiti ovog proljeća...a sa ovim drvetom koje sam nacrtala, sviđa mi se još više.

outfits of the week/ odjevne kombinacije tjedna

I do hope you had a lovely Women's Day ladies! Mine was quite relaxing, I had lunch with friends and went to the movies in the evening. 300:The Rise of The Empire was disappointing in many ways, but Eva Green was (as the protagonists himself said) 'impressive'. Her acting was suburb and those costumes she wore in the film were stunning....Kudos to who ever was the designer.  This morning I've spend cooking and cleaning and that too (believe it or not) was quite relaxing. Now, on the other hand, it's time to get back to business and obligations. However, before trying to get hold of things and organizing myself for the next week, here is my selection of outfits that impressed me the most in the last week.

Stvarno se nadam da ste uživale u danu žena, drage moje! Moj je bio skroz opuštajući, ručala sam sa prijateljicama i išla u kino navečer. Nastavak 300 je bio poprilično razočaravajući, ali je zato Eva Green bila (kao što je protagonist primjetio u filmu) impresivna. Njena gluma je bila vrhunska, a kostimi koje je nosila prekrasni. Svaka čast onome tko ih je osmislio. Jutro sam provela kuhajući i čisteći kuću i to je isto vjerovali ili ne bilo opuštajuće. Sada je pak vrijeme da se posvetim obavezama i pokušam isplanirati idući tjedan...ali prije toga evo moga odabira odjevnih kombinacija koje su me se najviše dojmile prošlog tjedna.

3 ways to wear a gypsy skirt- tri načina za nositi cigansku suknju

Spring is almost here, so here are 3 outfits featuring a gypsy skirt, a clothing item that is spring appropriate. With different accessories, you can get quite different looks.  Tell me, what is your favourite way of styling a gypsy skirt?

Proljeće je skoro ovdje, pa evo tri odjevne kombinacije sa ciganskom suknjom, komadom odjeće koji je prikladan za proljeće. Sa različitim modnim dodatkom možete postići različite stilove. Recite mi, koji je vaš najdraži način nošenja ciganske suknje?

a diy clutch/ torbica koju sam sama ušila

leather bag/ kožna torba

sandals with heels /sandale sa petom

sneakers/ tenisice (patike)

boots/ čizme

top that my mum made, majica koju mi je mama ušila

pink sweater/ rozi đemper

a nude tank top/ majica na špaline boje kože

An angel (DIY)---Anđeo (uradi sam)

" Old loves they die hard,

old lies they die harder,

I wish I had an angel,

for one moment of love" *

Nightwish, I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel....

DIY angel

this is what I'm using to paint. I actually prefer the paint I was using before but I wasn't able to find it...this one has a nozzle that I'm still getting used to...I'm more used to a brush, but I'm managing...

Turtlenecks (roll-necks)...I really like them and wear them all the time. This white turtleneck I will probably wear even more often because I like the way the angel I have painted on it turn out. Do you?

Dolčevite...stvarno mi se sviđaju i često ih nosim. Ovu bijelu dolčevitu nositi ću još češće zato što mi se sviđa kako je ovaj anđeo koji sam naslikala ispao. Sviđa li se vama?

DIY (painting on clothes)--- uradi sam (slikanje na odjeći)

I have promised you more DIY posts, haven't I? Today DIY project involves a technique that I have already posted about a few times. Basically all you have to do is buy some paint (there are many kinds out there and they're not expensive ) that can be applied on the clothes, make sure you put something under( a book, a magazine, anything) the material you're working with so that the paint doesn't get everywhere and that is all there is to it. As you may know, I love painting and I love clothes so you can imagine how trilled I am to join the two together. A match made in heaven if you ask me!  If you want to see the results, scroll down.

Obećala sam vam više postova posvećenih radovima (tj uradi sam projektima), nisam li? Današnji uradi sam projekt je nešto o čemu sam već pisala, slikanje po odjeći. Sve što vam treba je kupiti boju koja se može nanositi na odjeću (ima puno vrsta u ponudi i nisu skupe) i nešto (knjiga, časopis, bilo što) što ćete staviti ispod materijala na kojem radite da boje ne završi svugdje... Kao što ste možda primjetili, obožavam slikanje i odjeću, pa možete zamisliti kako sam oduševljena kada to dvoje mogu spojiti....to je za mene svakako dobitna kombinacija....Ako želite vidjeti rezultate znate što trebate...

a little place to call my own

vintage pink pencil skirt just got a new design!...and it seems to me it will match this tee quite nicely!...you can also see the paint I'm using it's called Tulip.

We all need " a little place to call my own". For me this blog is a virtual place to call my own.

February recap / sažetak veljače

Many of my fashion illustrations were inspired by the month of love

I have been working on a few paintings...maybe I'll post about them some day but not for now...

The emphasis continues to be on fashion illustrations....

a wonderful novel  by Kureishi that questions the connection between our body and soul 

Amy Tan is an author that I would highly recommend to all the daughters and mothers. In her works she is quite successful at portraying and examining that special connection that exists between a mother and a daughter.

DIY vases made from old shampoo and detergent bottles

As always I took more photographs then I had actually shared but it's hard to find place for everything

If we're going to trust the Croatian proverb (ljubav ulazi kroz želudac)  that states that a way to someone's heart is trough their stomach ( the English version would be love enters trough the kitchen)  then I have deserved someone's heart for I have been cooking everyday 

I wore a lot of casual outfits in my free time but haven't managed to get them photographed

these few outfits that I did manage to document I had totally forgotten to post

the most worn clothing items would have to be these black mango pants that I've bought recently

You have seen (more or less) what was February like for me. Now tell me... what was February like for you? Are you happy that it's already March or do you feel like time is flying too fast?Are you looking forward to the spring?

 As far as blogging goes, it seems that I have became more focused on fashion illustrations. In the next month the illustrations will have their place, but there will be more focus on DIY....or at least I think so, because I'm kind of heading in that direction. Apart from that, I have no plans. I have so many ideas when it comes to what I want to blog about, that I often have hard time deciding what not to include. As always, feel free to write about what you would like to see.

Vidjeli ste (više-manje) kako sam provela veljaču...sada mi recite, kakav je vama bio prošli mjesec? Veselite li se proljeću? Jeste li jedva dočekali ožujak ili vam je vrijeme prebrzo proletjelo? Ne zaboravite da nam možda i nije još stiglo i da ime za mjesec ožujak potječe od staroslavenske riječi koja je označavala laž, znači radi se o mjesecu varljivoga i prevrtljivoga vremena.

Što se tiče bloganja, čini mi se da sam se najviše usredotočila na modne ilustracije. Mislim da ću u ovom mjesecu pisati više o uradi sam projektima, ali vidjeti ćemo.....
