Summer in Dalmatia...Ljeto u Dalmaciji...L'estate in Dalmazia











I wish I had an epic story to go with these photographs, but I'm afraid I don't. The thing is that I'm starting to feel the summer has arrived and I wanted to share the photographs that I took (on various occasions) to convey that feeling...and perhaps even to celebrate the fact that the summer has come... The location is Dalmatia, the region I originate from and speaking of which I'm not sure how to call myself as sharing a name with a breed of dog (however adorable it may be) seems kind of weird.

So, here it is...a little bit of inspiration. Are you excited about the summer? I'll probably always be, it's my favourite time of year...and this is what summer feels like to me. Btw I've noticed that some of my readers know their way around Croatia, so I'm curious...Can you guess the cities on these photographs?

Voljela bi da imam neku zanimljivu priču da ide uz ove fotografije, ali nemam... jednostavno osjetila sam da je došlo ljeto i htjela sam to na neki način proslaviti pa sam napravila nekakav mali sažetak fotografija...Možete li pogoditi gdje je što?;)

    Absolutely beautiful setting. The water, the village... I know I'm from the United States, but this is a fabulous European setting.

    Wonderful pictures, I believe not everything needs a story, sometimes its just about memories spent together. Oh and I'm sure the place was named before the dog maybe haha xoxo.

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

THE LUNCHEON & THE THREE FAT WOMEN OF ANTIBEST , TWO SHORT STORIES BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM (REVIEWS)

Image
Hello! In this post, I'll review two short stories by British author William Somerset Maugham. Both of these shorts stories are on the humorous side. One of these stories feels more serious than the other, but both are quite short, so they are a wonderful choice if you're short on time. As the titles The Luncheon and The Three Fat Women of Antibest imply , both of these short stories are about food, or perhaps better to say- about our relationship with food. As our human relationship with food is often marked by our human obsession with looks, one can examine food from a psychological point of view. That's what Maugham did in these stories.  I reviewed one of Maugham's humorous stories earlier this month. On second of November, I shared  my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper .  I enjoyed that story a great deal, and thought it was wonderfully humours. Although, most of that story happens during a conversation at a luncheon, it's...
