DIY ili ti ga uradi sam

 Today I sewed this leather detail onto my cap. I think that with this bow it looks better. What do you think?

 Danas sam ušila ovaj kožni detalj na kapu. Mislim da s ovom mašnom izgleda bolje. Što vi mislite?

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

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

Image
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? POST UPDATE 2024: ADDING NEW RELEVANT LINKS I ILLUSTRATED THIS LAKE BACK IN 2018. I MEAN IT'S JUST A QUICK  watercolour sketch, but who knows. I might be inspired to paint this place. This illustration was more a fashion illustration with a background. I felt like adding a background to my fashion illustration. This b...

The importance of shoes (WIWT) / Važnost cipela ( i što sam danas nosila)

Image
 If you change a pair of shoes, you have changed the whole outfit. Wear sneakers to dress an outfit down, but wear elegant shoes to dress it up. Sometimes it is as simple as that. This is what I wore today. It was a sunny and beautiful day , so I wanted to take advatage of it to show you more ways to style these pants . Thanks to my photographer, I managed to do it.  Promijenite li par cipela, promijenili ste cijelu odjevnu kombinaciju. Nosite tenisice da biste kombinaciju učinili ležernijom, a  elegantne cipele da je učinite dotjeranom. Ponekad je tako jednostavno. Ovo sam danas nosila. Bio je sunčan i divan dan, pa sam ga htjela iskoristiti da vam pokažem još načina za nositi ove hlače . Zahvaljujući svom fotografu, to sam i uspjela.  shirt/ košulja: no name, nije markirana pants/ hlače:  CNdirect   minibag/ torba:  Dresslink  shoes/ cipele: no name, nije markirano HOW TO WALK ON ROCKY TERRAIN IN PLATFORM STIL...

REPAINTING AND REPAIRING AN OIL ON CANVAS, A PAINTING OF ASSISI ( ITALY)

Image
 Hello there! Today I'll share with you a repainted oil painting inspired by a souvenir I picked up in Assisi , Italy (also here ). I visited Assisi, a hometown of Saint Francis back in 2013. It took me only a day to paint the original painting in 2014 (see the post here)  but it took me four days to repaint it this August- including one afternoon spent crying because I was exhausted by the effort.  I'm still not sure I'm 100 % finished. Sometimes I  miss the days before I started taking art classes because I was much less critical of my work back then and seemed to enjoy the process more.  Not that I'm complaining. I'm very grateful that I have the means to pursue art more seriously and learn more about different mediums. That certainly wasn't always the case. While it is true that it feels like more work nowadays, I can also see the progress and that's obviously rewarding. I'm happy that it is possible for me to create paintings, especially these kind ...

Without make up( outfit post)/ Bez šminke (odjevna objava)

Image
I've always adored nautical prints, so when I saw this wonderful dress at Mana ,  it was a case of love at first sight. Pairing it with my white Peko sandals seemed like an obvious thing to do. I'm not so sure about the bag (gift from friends).  I do think this outfit would look more dressed up if it was paired with a more classical bag. That being said,  I really do like this tropical print on the bag and I guess I just like to bring in the element of unexpected. What else to say about this styling? Instead of a belt, I tied a colourful scarf around my waist and later on when the sun set (it was setting as these photographs were being taken) I used that scarf to cover my shoulders. Thank you for sweet comments about my drawing and the words I choose to accompany it. Often when I'm drawing or illustrating, the words just appear on their own but really they do tend to show what has been on my mind lately. Uvijek sam voljela nautične uzo...
