Once upon a time....

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:)

THE LONG PETAL OF THE SEA, A NOVEL BY ISABEL ALLENDE

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review The Long Petal of the Sea, a novel by Chilean-American writer Isabel Allende. I bought this second hand copy in Split this Summer, and read it in a heartbeat.  Published in 2019, A Long Petal of the Sea is one of Allende's more recent works.  Allende herself describes it in her Preface as 'a story of displacement and love, of sorrow and hope, of a couple trying to find their place in a world torn apart by violence'. The novel is told by fictional characters but it features real historical figures such as Pablo Neruda whose poetical description of Chile the author borrowed for the title of the novel. Yes, it was Neruda who described Chile as the long petal of the sea. Despite being a minor character, the famous Novel winning poet at times plays a key part in the novel's plot, from organizing the flight of Spanish refuges to embodying Chile's national spirit.  Moreover,  The Long Petal of the Sea,  ...

Time for another Fashion Illustration Friday talk. We'll talk autumn and share some new autumn inspired fashion illustrations & outfits. Autumn is a season with one of the most beautiful colour palettes. Just think about all those gorgeous gold and red leaves! Even the fruits of Autumn are visually stunning, for example the delicious and juicy fruits such as pomegranates and grapes. With so much to appeal to our senses, it's hard not to be appreciative of autumn. It is a stunning season indeed, so small wonder I was inspired to create some fashion art. Scroll down to see and read more.  AUTUMN COLOUR COMBOS TO CONSIDER Besides enjoying the colours of autumn, I sure love wearing colour in autumn, and that's what I'll write about today.

Subtle mix of prints (leo and tartan)/ Suptilno kombiniranje uzoraka (leopard i karirano)

Happy Monday! How do you feel about Mondays? I'm warming up to them. Afterall, it is just another day. It can mean something good, perhaps even something great. Perhaps it is all a matter of perspective.... A fresh start of the week, new possiblities, new chances...but somewhere in back of my mind are all those Garfield images with 'I hate Monday' written all over them.  My love for oversized cats is my great weakness. Maybe I need a cheerful song? Something with violine and cheerful lyrics...maybe this one  from Alexander Rybak? One cat image to replace another? мой котик..котик..котик..котик........ Sretan ponedjeljak! Kakvi su vaši osjećaji po tom pitanju? Meni se počinju sviđati. Na posljetku, to je samo još jedan dan. Može značiti nešto dobro, možda čak i nešto odlično. Možda  je to samo pitanje perspektive...Svježi početak tjedna, nove mogućnosti,  nove prilike...ipak negdje u glavi su mi sve one slike Garfielda s  natpisom "Mrzim ponedjeljke". M...

KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!
