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

Can you guess the DIY in today's outfit? There are the jeans obviously...and those big earrings are my creation. The DIY pink shirt you cannot see well, but with a help of some paint, it is now  full of my favourite proverbs. You'll probably see the shirt when the weather gets warm enough to make coats unnecessary...  In the meantime you can see  a photo of "how it is made?"  These earrings I have made about 8 years ago and as you can see they don't look as well as they used to...I still love them, though. They're very light so they don't hang heavy on the ears. In addition, they are one of a kind. " Vivi e lascio vivere"  My life's philosophy. I think of myself as pretty much a tolerant person, I think we should embrace the fact we are created  unique and different from each other. I cannot understand people who refuse to accept others just because they have a different sexual or social  identity. As you can ...

If we are to believe the historians, the first jewellery (or jewelry if you speak AE) was made  about  75 000 years ago and it was worn by the African ladies. In that sense, jewellery (BE) could just be the first fashion statement. Here is a necklace that I made from fimo.  I've only showed you one photo of it so far. What do you think? I love statement jewellery and statement necklaces are just about perfect way to do it. In winter I think they go perfect with turtle necks and shirts. This blue turtle neck is one of the few things that I have bought recently. I haven't done much shopping during the sales.  Ako ćemo vjerovat povijesničarima, prvi nakit nosile su žene  u Africi prije 75 000 godina, pa nakit možda možemo smatrati i prvim modnim izričajem naše vrste.  Evo ogrlice od fima koju sam sama osmislila i napravila. Sviđa li vam se? Volim izražajan nakit, a velike ili upečatljive ogrlice zimi, rekla bih, savršeno idu preko košulja i...

It seems that welcoming a sunny day with summer photos was a good idea, because yesterday was one of those perfect sunny winter days here in Mostar. Somehow wearing Lenon sunnies makes me feel Asian (perhaps that has something do with Yoko Ono, perhaps I have her image in my subconciousness) and besides they're just fun! Usually I opt for big classical sunnies, so this felt like a welcome change. Izgleda da je bila dobra ideja jučer izjutra objaviti one ljetne fotografije jer je zaista jučerašnji dan bio sunčan, ako ne ljetni onda kao proljetni. Ja se neću buniti ako proljeće urani. Baš sam uživala u šetnji Mostarom jučer. Izvukla sam odnekuda ove stare lenonice  ( kojima se uvijek osjećam azijatski možda mi je slika Yoko Ono negdje u podsvijesti)  i baš mi je dobro došla promjera jer inače uvijek nosim velike crne sunčane. Nasmijala me neka bakica u prolazu koja je tražila veći osmijeh. Legenda!   Some old lady made me laugh with her...

Today it's a sunny day and I'll welcome it with some photographs of Split taken in the summer. Danas je sunčan dan i ja ću ga dočekati sa fotografijama Splita ljeti. About the outfit: the necklace- my creation/ ogrlica- moj rad the green tee- vintage/ zelena majica- jako stara (to je moj prijevod za vintage, he he) the denim pencil dress- no name ( nemam pojma koja marka) bag and shoes- no name (isto)

Today I have something special to show you. Yesterday we went to Međugorje ( in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and decided to stop by in ethno village near by. I have already showed you photographs from one ethno village Herceg. This one is within a walking distance from that one, but is still under construction. I'm amazed by the design and the architecture of this place. You feel as if you have walked into a hundred years old village. I cannot wait to see it completed. As a true Dalmatian (not a breed of dog obviously, but someone from the region Dalmatia), I'm obsessed with anything constructed from stone. Photos from Međugorje will have to wait, I want to share with you this place first as you probably haven't had the chance to see it. Danas sa vama lipi moji, želim podijeliti fotografije iz etno sela u blizini Međugorje koje je još uvijek u izgradnji. Nalazi se blizu etno sela Herceg, zapravo iz ovog sela možete vidjeti i to drugo, a i prošetati do njega. Oduševlj...
