a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Crna boja ima svojih prednosti, primjerice privlači sunce (to mi prvo pada na pamet valjda zato što je danas oblačno). Naravno nekad se s njom pretjeruje, ali opet.... zar ne postoji razlog zašto je tako popularna? Uz nju je ipak lakše nositi neke šašave kombinacije. Moje crno ruho jednog sunčanog dana:) Ovaj crni džemper iz gracije zbog  tople jeseni nosim kao jaknu, siva haljinica je iz tally weijl, gege (tajice/helanke) ne sjećam se, a patike (tenisice/ tene) su iz Borse. Konačno sam kupila crne patike:) Što vi mislite o crnoj odjeći? S čime je kombinirate? Koje boje najbolje uz nju pristaju? Neke stvari neizostavno vežemo uz crnu boju, kao na primjer duge zimske kapute, a i poznatu crnu haljinu/haljinicu. Možda popularnost crne ima neke veze i s c/b i noir filmovima , kao i fatalnim ženama zlatnih godina Hollywood-a. Što god bio razlog, crna boja se ustalila na modnoj sceni, pa stoga i u dućanima. Ostaje nam samo za odlučiti: kako je nositi? Potpuno se u nj...

Almost everything I'm wearing on the following photos is a gift from my significant other....that is all the leather things I'm wearing (the long coat, the boots). He has this thing about Modesty Blaise (comicbook hero). So, here is my comicbook femme fatale inspired leather look. In case you're wondering about location, it's by the river Neretva, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This look combines two things I adore: long coats and scarfs....and the person I adore was taking the photos:) 5 POSTS ABOUT MOSTAR CITY CENTRE, OLD TOWN & OLD BRIDGE 1.  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2019/06/visit-old-city-centre-and-old-bridge-in.html 2.  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2019/10/new-outfits.html 3.  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2021/04/outfits-4-being-tourist-in-mostar.html 4.  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2019/04/how-to-wear-levis-jeans-when-spring-is.html 5.  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2018/03/pencil-drawing-making-of-outfit-post....

If we trust wikipedia, this pattern has been here for a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartan  http://www.tartans.scotland.net/ We have the Scotts to thank for it! So, thank you Scotts:) For those of us growing up in the 90ties, the first association would be grunge and Nirvana. However, no matter in what way, most of us is familliar with this pattern. Like it or not, it has been popular for a while...and it doesn't seem to go away. The wool  tartan coat I'm wearing on this photos is from fashion house Uzor ( that unfortunatrely didn't make it trough reccesion.) The photos were taken in the city of Split. Karirani uzorak već je dugo s nama, za one od nas koji su odrastali u devedesetima, povezan je s grungeom, nirvanom i tako to...ima dosta asocijacija koji idu s njima. za stvaranje ovog uzorka možemo po svemu sudeći zahvaliti Škotima---pa hvala vam Škoti! Na slikama nosim vuneni karirani kaput modne kuće Uzor (splitska firma koja j...

Hello! Today I'm sharing with you a  few photos from a lovely small town Imotski. Located in Croatia, this beautiful city has a number of attractions.  SOME INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA :  Imotski  ( Croatian pronunciation:  [ǐmɔtskiː] ;  Italian :  Imoschi ;  Latin :  Emotha , later  Imota ) is a small town on the northern side of the  Biokovo  massif in the  Dalmatian Hinterland  of southern  Croatia , near the border with  Bosnia and Herzegovina . Imotski, like the surrounding inland  Dalmatia , has a generally mild  Mediterranean climate  which makes it a popular tourist destination. The town is located close to the border with  Bosnia and Herzegovina , 10 km away from  Posušje  and 18 km from  Grude . It is located 29 km away from the coast ( Baška Voda ). The nearest coastal town is  Makarska , on the other side of the  Biokovo  massif....

a   Long long time ago, in a far away galaxy I used to be blond...and I used to have a wonderful tan...Speaking of the devil, today I realized that I have lost my summer tan (kind of late for that but I do live in Mediterranean)...  While browsing some old photos I remembered a perfect one day trip to the most unique island in the Adriatic. The shirt I'm wearing on this photos I painted (with fabric colours) long time ago. I bought it in Benetton I think and the jacket as well....and here is my word of advice: You need to have a business suit in your closet no matter how young/old you are. It will always come in handy, trust me:)

What to say about fake fur? I've always loved it. For me fur (or in my case faux fur) epitomizes glamour. Perhaps it satisfies a part of me that craves for wilderness or wishes it was a wild animal. In any case, it is warm, practical and not expensive.  What do you think? Why do we love it? Is it somehow a call of the wild?                                   Što reći o lažnom krznu, uvijek sam ga voljela, jer za mene krzno (u mom slučaju lažno ) je glamur....Što vi mislite zašto ga volimo, je li to nekakav zov prirode? .. ovo mi je "krzno" kupila mama za prošli Božić u trgovini tekstila sve na meni ovdje je poklon osim broša kojeg sam sama napravila ovo je malo starija fotka, krzno isto poklon What to say that has not been said before....Fur has been popular since....forever I guess:)perhaps it is even the first fashion statement:)

UPDATE:  MORE ABOUT COLOUR BLUE - TAKEN FROM  Blue Color: Psychology, Meaning and Symbolism (colorpsychology.org) The history of blue Blue, a hue cherished and celebrated throughout the annals of history, carries a significant importance due to its rarity and the expense associated with its production. The ancient Egyptians and Romans revered this colour, incorporating it into their clothing and artwork to reflect their social and cultural values. It’s interesting to note that in the Middle Ages, the production of blue dyes, crafted from the precious stone Lapis Lazuli, was quite an expensive process. As a result, wearing blue clothing became a symbol of wealth, power, and prestige among the nobility. However, it was only in the 1850s, with the advent of synthesized indigo dye, that the colour blue became widely available and affordable to the general populace. This transition marked a shift in the socio-cultural dynamics, democratizing the colour blue and making it a symbol...

The hot new trend of autumn(fall) 2012! I have to honest the reason why I'm so eager to embrace this trend is because I have been obsessed with baseball hats for a long time...I don't know what it is about them that I'm so crazy about, but there is something. I always loved hats, still do.... but this particular hat is something special. This is the most recent photo where I'm wearing a basketball cap.   It was taken a week ago or something like that.                                                                                                            But there are many older ones:  So my advice is: rock that baseball hat trend!
