I hope you had a lovely weekend. I had spend mine on island Hvar.
Nadam se da vam je vikend bio ugodan. Ja sam svoj provela na Hvaru.
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.
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 ...
Yellow Riding Hood....I'm living my autumn fairy tale at the moment. I'm letting the beauty of Autumn mesmerize me and I'm spending as much time outdoors as possible. Recently I visited Čapljina. It is a small city in region of Herzegovina. Everyone is always talking about it, saying it is the perfect city for taking a stroll. That's quite correct actually. For my part, I can say that I always enjoy taking a stroll here. Plus, I took the chance to check out one newly reopened cake house. This little city has an interesting history. Apparently, it was founded by ancient Romans in fifth century BC. Its name is derived from 'čaplja', which in Croatian means haron. This is no accident because in vicinity of this city, you will find bird reservoir and nature park Hutovo blato. Haron is only one of the bird that can be seen here. Now, I posted about Hutovo blato quite frequently, so instead of repeting myself, I will leave you a few links. ( here , here , and he...
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Time for another Fashion Illustration Friday, a regular art feature on my blog where I share my fashion illustrations. If you're a regular visitor, you know what I'm taking about. Your gal loves art as much as fashion (if not more), so it makes sense there is space for both on her personal blog. Today was a long and emotional day, and maybe some time I'll tell you all about it. At the moment my heart is full. I have a lot to be grateful for, but also a lot of challenges ahead. It's a rather long story that I might tell some day. However, it won't be tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe I'll go back to this post and add more writing to it. Until then, let's get back to the topic of this post and that's- fashion illustration. This time I'm bringing two new fashion illustrations to you. Both feature dark toned outfits with lighter accents. The medium is acrylic paint on mixed media paper. Both outfits came from my imag...
Hello! In this post, I'll share a book recommendation. The Heart of a Woman is a memoir by Maya Angelou. The events she describes in this book take place between 1957 and 1962 and in that sense this book is a continuation of her previous memoirs. I do admire her courage when it comes to blending literature with autobiography. It is not an easy task and only a few have really gotten away with it. To narrate one's life, any period of it, in such an intimate way demands great courage, but turning that narration into a literature takes a kind of discipline and self restraint only great writers have, thought people generally don't realize how hard writing on this level really is. Years ago, I found a quote by Maya that really moved me but instead of looking her up immediately, I decided to wait. My intuition told me that a book by her will arrive at the perfect moment. Having read doctor Martin Luther King's autobiography earlier this year put many events in ...
As far as I'm concerned, Santa can keep all the snow for himself. This is my kind of Advent. Split city soaked in sunshine. Mediterranean Christmas is my kind of Christmas. Sunshine, sunshine and more sunshine....I couldn't be happier about the amount of sunshine we've been having. Now, about the outfit. My foot is still swollen and walking is still quite painful. Dr. Martens boots and startas sneakers are the only pairs of shoes that I can wear and I'll probably be wearing them for a while. I've been living in dr.martens boots and startas sneakers for the last ten days. There is no indication that my foot will get better anytime soon, but at least nothing is broken. Things will return to normal sooner or later. In the meantime, life without heels has been strange. I was so used to wearing them all the time, I feel like I have lost my balance. We're all creatures of habit sometimes. Što se mene tiče, djed Božičnjak može zadržati za sebe sav snijeg. Ovo ...
Ajme obožavam Hvar :)
