DIY post: how to make a statement collar and some other stuff/ kako napraviti sam ukras za kosu i osvježiti košulju ukrašavanjem ovratnika i još ponešto

Danas sam vam pripremila par jako jednostavnih stvari koje možete sami uraditi. Today I have prepared for you a few very simple DIYs.

1. Istaknuti ovratnik to bi bio hrvatski prijevod od "statement collar" koji je u zadnje vrijeme u trendu.  Zapravo ovo nije prvi put da radim ovakvo nešto, već sam jedan ovratnik ukrasila ili kako bismo mi u Dalmaciji rekli kolet. Prvi put stavila sam zlatnu dugmad, pa je izgledalo pomalo kao nakit, ali ovaj put odlučila sam se za nešto jednostavnije. Pošto jako volim košulje, nemam srca nijednoj tek tako odrezati ovratnik, pa je varijanta koju sam odabrala jednostavno ukrasiti ovratnik košulje koju već imam ( u ovom slučaju već ukrašen bojama za tkaninu). Sve što vam treba je par botuna (dugmadi) u boji i igla i konac. Jako jednostavno!

In short, this would be my take on a statement collar trend. I don't have the heart to cut the collar of any of my shirts so I just decorate the collars on the shirts that seem appropriate for it. In this case the collar was already painted on with colours for it (by me a few years ago), so I just had to sew some buttons on it and called it a day. This is a very simple DIY, all you need is a needle and a few buttons.


Što vam se čini? Meni ovakav ovratnik baš djeluje veselo.
So, what do you think? To me it looks somehow very playful.

2. Vrpca za kosu
Vrlo jednostavan način rađenja ukrasa za kosu je umetnuti traku fijokić (mašnu) u običnu ukosnicu. Možete se poslužiti žicom da je učvrstite, a možete je i samo svezati. Vjerovatno kući imate malo satenske trake, ako ništa možete rastaviti onaj ukras koji dobijete u svatovima i tako napraviti mali ukras. Što vas se čini?

3. DIY How to make your own  satin bow?
To make your own satin bow, all you just need some satin cord (you can buy it anywhere) a bobby pin. To make a bow from a satin cord and attach it to an ordinary bobby pin. Very simple as I said and it's much easier this way. I've seen films about old times and women always used to tie their hair with satin cord but that looks kind of difficult and  I think that after a few times you would have to iron the satin cord...so anyway that is what I meant when I said this seems easier.

 šminka ...ovo je pomalo nespretan pokušaj slikanja šminke. (svaka sugestija o slikanju je dobrodošla) Za predprošli Božić dobila sam od nevjeste razna sjenila pa sam odlučila malo promjeniti nešto i pokušati staviti sjenilo u nekoj veselijoj boji. Ne šminkad se baš puno inače, iako mi ne bi bilo loše da se češće mažem zbog problema sa tenom, ali to je duga priča. Ovo bi bio nekakva dnevna šminka, malo maskare, tuša i malo sjenila roze boje. Što vam se čini?

Now a somewhat clumsy attempt of taking a photo of my make up. Any tips on the subject would be more than welcomed! I'm kind of boring when it comes to make up so I decided to try something new with a pink eye shadow. What do you think?

3. Kako oslikati običnu bijelu košulju?  Osim prvog prijedloga, a to je uređivanje ovratnika, možete uvijek nešto napisati na košulji. Ja volim slikati, ali pisanje je jednostavnije, pogotovo za vas koji možda ne volite crtanje i slično (ipak ne zaboravite na šablone to vam uvijek može pomoći). Zašto ne spojiti modu i moju ljubav prema jezicima.Mislim da ovo nisam spomenula prije, ali jedna od novogodišnjih odluka mi je naučiti hebrejski. 
How to refresh an ordinary white shirt? Besides the first DIY that involves a statement collar, you can always write something on it. ( For those of you who don't enjoy painting this is the perfect DIY) I love printed tees, so why not write on a shirt? Indeed, why shouldn't I join my love towards languages and fashion? All you need is some colour suitable for the job and you can buy that in any hobby shop.


I don't think I have mentioned this before but one of my resolution for this year is to learn Hebrew.  I like the sound of the language and the script is beautiful. What do you think about this DIY?

    I do like this! Bows are always so cute- and I like the matching makeup. Learning Hebrew! That's so cool- I heard it's a hard language to learn!

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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 two main timelines, one set in moder

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
