Uzorci: karirano/ patterns: scottish tartan

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 je nedavno nažalost bankrotirala) U pozadini je moj lijepi Split:)

pozdrav!

VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- THE CLIFFS (PART ONE)

Image
 Hello, there! In this post, I'll share some of my hiking experiences on Malta island. I visited Malta a few years ago, but besides sharing one oil pastel sketch drawing , I haven't blogged about my visit at all. I guess that the time to talk about Malta has finally come. Today is the first of May and that means that  as an educator I have a day off. Yes, I don't have to go to work. So, I have some time to put this post together. While I was pondering what to start with, I decided that I should do a Malta series. I might as well since all I wanted to write about definitely won't fit into a single post! What should I open my series on Malta with? Well, I opted for hiking. One of the things I enjoyed most while visiting   Malta was hiking. I hiked both alone and with my friend.  Today I'll share photographs from a hike we did, exploring Malta's fascinating landscape and cliffs. I was both surprised and delighted to see these cliffs. It's something I would expe

FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: FANTASY VIBES (SKETCHES)

Image
 Hi, there! In this post, I'll share some of my fashion illustration sketches. It's nothing too ambitious, basically just a few drawings I made recently. It's been a while since my last Friday Fashion Illustration.  Fashion Illustration Friday used to be a regular feature on my blog, but the fact that all art posted online automatically gets stolen by AI put me of from posting my art, even sketches. I still do commissions and sell my art from time to time. I have some commission orders that are waiting for Summer when I'll have more free time. Art is still a part of my life, I just don't post about it that much. I mean I don't do art full time, but I try to make time for art in my life. Sometimes a five minute sketch is enough to breathe some inspiration into our life. At the moment, five minutes is sometimes the best I can do.  MORE POSTS FROM THIS CATEGORY:  FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: SPRING STYLING 2023 Let's TALK illustration.  Sometimes I illustrate i

DAMEN KAPRIC, ANKICA TOPIĆ (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
 Hello! Today I will review Damen kapric, a novel by Ankica Topić, a Croatian author.  If I'm not mistaken this was my first read from this writer.  Ankica Topić is from Makarska , so from the same region in Croatia as yours truly ( Dalmatia ). I'm mentioning the region because it is relevant to understand the novel's humour.  As in most other European countries, in Croatia you will find cultural and linguistic  differences between regions, something that is often used for comic effects in books, TV shows and movies. In this particular novel, the author often contrasts Croats from the South with those from the capital (that is continental  Croatia).  Damen kapri c is a wonderfully funny novel that starts of as a family comedy with elements of romance, but soon turns darker and evolves into a mystery of some kind. An interesting novel for sure. I'm not sure is an English translation available yet.  The novel is named after a (possibly Hungarian?) cake.  I wasn't abl

BOOK REVIEWS: EDEN AND THE INVINCIBLE, TWO FABULOUS NOVELS BY STANISLAW LEM

Image
 Hello! Not too long again I shared my review for science fiction classic Solaris . Well, I ended up liking that novel so much that I had to explore Lem's writing more. So far, I have read four Stanislaw Lem's novel in total.  Today I will review two novels by Stanislaw Lem: Eden and The Invincible. I decided to review them together because Eden and The Invincible are in some ways similar, so I thought it would be interesting to compare them.  Before I get into more details, I'll do a short comparative review of sorts. How are Eden and Solaris similar and how are they different?   Both of these novels explore a similar theme: a crew of a spaceship exploring an unknown planet and finding themselves in peril while they do so. Moreover, both of these novels feature characters debating their situation and trying to find an answer to the mystery of unknown. As they try to make sense of things, we can see character's points of views. One thing I noticed is that Lem's char

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- (PART TWO - SOLO HIKES)

I'm back with another post from Malta! In this post, I'll share more hiking tales from the stunningly gorgeous island Malta. In case you missed my first post about Malta, I'll leave the link below:  VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- THE CLIFFS (PART ONE) I spent a lot of my time on Malta just hiking! No wonder I loved my stay there so much.  How lucky was I! Not only did I get to visit this utterly gorgeous island, I also got to hike it for hours. Moreover, during my hikes, I felt like I was able to connect with Malta on a deeper level by exploring it with calm and patience.  As I said, I visited a friend on Malta, so I stayed with her. At that time, she was renting a rather lovely home from an old granny.  It wasn't a touristy place, and it was about thirty minutes bus drive from Valetta. While she was at work, I would typically hike around. Every day I hiked a bit further apart. It was great fun getting to know Malta better this way.  Hiking and exploring Malta by

Sights to see, places to visit / Znamenitosti za vidjeti, mjesta za posjetiti -----Goranci

Image
My Sights to see, places to visit feature would surely be missing something if I didn't include this little village Goranci in the list of places to visit. This charming little village is situated in the vicinity of Mostar.  I love to go there to espace the city heat.  If you are into cycling, you'd be happy to hear that you can rent a bike for free. You just need to leave your ID in the restaurant Goranci and you can take the bike. There is a wonderful cycling and pedestrian walk so be sure to check it out. As of recently, there is also a beautiful park at your disposal. This park is growing daily as new things are added to it(toys for kids and that sorts of stuff). If you look closely, you'll be able to see that some decorative trees are still being planted at the enterance to this park.  You can read some of my previous posts about this village here , here and here . Moja rubrika Znamenitosti za vidjeti, Mjesta za posjetiti ne bih bila potpuna bez Goranaca, malog

Sights to see, Places to visit ( +outfitpost) / Znamenitosti za vidjeti, Mjesta za posjetiti (+odjevna objava)

This lake you see is artificial in origin but that doesn't make it less impressive.  If you ever visit Mostar, I recommend you visit this lake. It is situated in the vicinity of the city. Peaceful and serene atmosphere, birds and other animals to observe, beautiful nature, magnificent mountain views.... ...what is there not to love? Ovo jezero koje vidite je umjetno, ali ga to ne čini manje impresivnim. Posjetite li ikad Mostar, savjetujem vam da posjetite i ovo jezero. Nalazi se u blizini grada. Mirna i umirujuća atmosfera, ptice i druge životinje za promatrati, prekrasna priroda, veličanstveni pogled na planine. ...Što bi se tu moglo ne voljeti? hat/ šešir: old+DIY, dress/haljina: no name, block heels/ cipele s debelom petom: Naughty Monkey hat/ šešir: old+DIY, dress/haljina: no name, block heels/ cipele s debelom petom:  Naughty Monkey

How to wear a summer dress in Autumn? Kako nositi ljetnu haljinu u jesen?

Image
The first thing I really took notice of in Mostar city, back in the day, when I arrived to study here, were these trees. I'm still fascinated by them. If you want to know the story about them, you can read it one of my old blog posts ( here .) Kada sam stigla u Mostar na studij , prva stvar koja mi je zaista upala u oči bila su ova stabla. Još uvijek me oduševljavaju. Želite li znati njihovu priču, možete je pročitati u jednoj od mojih starijih objava ( ovdje .) dress/haljina: dresslink     ( here ) blazer/sako: no name bag/torba: handmade, ručni rad Boots/čizme: Peko dress/haljina: dresslink     ( here ) blazer/sako: no name bag/torba: handmade , ručni rad Boots/čizme: Peko dress/haljina: dresslink     ( here ) blazer/sako: no name bag/torba: handmade, ručni rad Boots/čizme: Peko I'm quite satisfied with the fact that I managed to style this cherry dress ( here ) for Autumn.
