beach bag (outfit post)/ torba za plažu (odjevna kombinacija)





Does it ever happens to you that your entire outfitis really about a bag? Usually to be honest, I don't think that much about bags. However, the one I was wearing the other day was special. It was a birthday present from my friends and it's not an easier thing to style. It's lovely but very much a beach bag (or a summertime bag)...shells and everything...so I paired it with a fairly simple outfit (little grey skirt) and a matching necklace. What do you think?

...and do tell me isn't Split just a stunning city? We have so many beautiful beaches here...As you can see on the last photo, the beach season is very much open!

Je li vam se ikada dogodi da vam se cijela odjevna kombinacija vrti oko torbe? Ja najčešće i ne razmišljam baš puno o njima, ali ova torba je posebna. Bila je rođendanski dar. divna je, ali  nije je lako uskladiti, ima školjke i sve, ukratko prava ljetna torba ili torba za plažu...pa sam je ukombinirala sa jednostavnom sivom haljinicom i ogrlicom iste boje. Što mislite?

 ...i recite mi ...zar Split nije prekrasan? Imamo toliko divnih plaža!...i kao što možete vidjeti na zadnjoj fotografiji- sezona kupanja je otvorena!

    I agree, dearest Ivana, Split is wonderful and you, too! It was a good idea to match this bag with such a simple dress! And I like your headband - in the past I have worn headbands very often, I think I should really renew this trend :)

    Hello Ivana,

    your right, your hometown is surely a fantastic city for this seaside.

    Your todays outfit is stunning. I like your dress - i like this colour, so neutral - perfect in combo with other (coloured) clothings. And i think you know, that i love belts - your is a big one - just awesome!!! Nice detail that your handbag are a coloured match to your jewelry is - great colour-stuff.

    But gosh, you wearing tights on a beach? I know some ladys that their would shake their heads. They would never wear tights on a place like this, They would go barefooted and wearing just flip flops - i hate this kind of shoes. Awful to see girls wearing flip flops even in the city - i saw this in this summer in my city evertime...

    Anyway. I would wear the same like you do: opaque tights are a good statement, that says: "...hey look at me, i´m wearing tights and i love it!"...;-)
    Opaque Tights is great stuff and the perfect thing in combo to your dress!!!

    Bye.

    Jennifer

      thank you so much. Yes, I love to wear tights...they make walking in shoes more comfy....and I almost never wear flip flops....I wear heels even when I go to the beach.

    2. Jennifer Behrs22 October 2015 at 09:45

      "I wear heels even when I go to the beach." - gosh, i think we are the perfect couple in wearing heels...;-)

      What is your size of shoes? Strange - when i buy shoes for men, i need Gr. 44/45. My female shoes are Gr. 42 - sometimes also Gr. 41. In Gr. 42 i´m feeling very comfy.

      Bye.

      my size is 40/41 when I buy Italian shoes and 39/40 when I buy German or Croatia.

      Interesting there are different sizes for men and women, I didn't know that.

    4. Jennifer Behrs23 October 2015 at 04:06

      Yes, very strange. Especially female shoes are way "spiky" (on the front) and tighter as men shoes.

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

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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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

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

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

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

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
