DIY tee/ dorađena majica





This DIY tee you had a chance of seeing before. I bought it in one store and I decided to cover up the logo with beads...maybe because I hate logos? I wouldn't go that far, but I will say that I don't want to be a walking commercial. Let's get back to the beads...I just sewed them in, I don't like to glue things because that in my experience always ends up looking messy (or I'm just clumsy). I've had this tee for years so I can say that the classical method (just sewing beads on shirts, tee-s, etc)works for me. Have you ever attempted a similar DIY? What are your experiences?

Now, about the location in case anyone is interested...You had the chance of seeing it before as well. This is a hill near Mostar and you can actually see the airport Mostar behind me in the second photograph.

Ovu majicu ste imali prilike vidjeti prije. Ušila sam na nju perlicu kako bi prekrila logo (jer ne želim biti hodajuća reklama). Imam je već godinama, perlice su na mjestu, ušila sam samo sa iglom i koncem, ništa posebno...baš sam neki dan pričala sa jednom krojačicom taman dok je šivala i mučila se prišiti sto komada nekakvih ukrasa na svečanu haljinu i zaključile smo kako je to stvarno najsigurnija i najurednije metoda...a da je naporno...je. Kakva su vaša iskustva?

Ukoliko ikoga zanima lokacija, to je brdo Planinica kraj Mostara, mogli ste ga često vidjeti dosada, a ako bolje pogledate drugu fotografiju možete vidjeti zračnu luku u pozadini.

    Nice idea. Yeah, I have a similar experience. Once I was gifted a hand bag at a store for a purchase, with a big logo on it. I liked the bag but hated the branding and I stuck rhinestones all over it!!! Lolz!!! You can see that in the DIY posts of my blog!

    Dearest Ivana, first: pink fits your really! And second: the idea was indeed good to pimp up your shirt with the beads! And I have the same opinion like you - glue mostly doesn´t work really, sewing is mostly the better decision :)

    Wish you a happy new week!

    It's super. I'm not a fan of labels/logos on my clothes, as I don't want to be a walking advertisement either. xx

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

SUMMER TO AUTUMN TRANSITION 2024 (SPLIT CITY)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk about Summer to Autumn transition. It's actually one of my favourite seasonal transitions, because it allows us to easily play with layers and textures. Early Autumn is that magical time when you can wear a sweater or a light jacket over your summer dress and call it a day.  As the days get colder, we'll need more layering but we can still draw from that Summer inspiration.  How to keep Summer in our hearts even when the Autumn arrives? Well, think of all the positive things that you associate with Summer and then figure out how you can keep them in Autumn. That's what I'm trying to do for myself. Not to stress about the seasonal change, but rather to embrace it. For example, this particular post has been long in the making. I started it this Summer and planned to post about the summer outfits I wore while in Split city. However, as Summer turned to Autumn, I found myself with some new looks. So, I dec

THE WILD GIRLS, A STORY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello fellow bloggers and/or blog readers! In this post, I'll share my review for Ursula K. Le Guin short story The Wild Girls . Published in 2011, this powerful short story tells a touching tale of slavery , trauma , loss and survival. Sisterly love is at the core of this immensely sad, complex and profound story. If you want to read an intelligent and multifaceted story focused on female characters, and set in a dystopian society, look no further. Don't expect a happy ending, though! This is not that kind of story. I actually listened to this short story (that isn't so short, it sorts of feels like a novella). I planned to listen to it while I do Pilates, but I wasn't aware of how serious and tragic the story truly was. I've read an awful lot of Le Guin's writing, so I know her writing can be ambitious, complex and challenging. Still, I wasn't prepared for the complex sadness of this story.  Needless to say, I didn't finishing my Pilates routine that d

SHADOW AND BONE BY LEIGH BARDUGO (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo ,  the first novel in the Shadow and Bone trilogy. Published in 2012, Shadow and Bone is a young adult fantasy novel featuring a young female protagonist Alina Starkov who tries to find her way in a world troubled by war and class divisions. The novel is set in Ravka, a fantasy world inspired by feudal Russia, but still unique in its own way. The world Alina Starkov inhabits has its own mythology and magic, and the worldbuilding is quite interesting. For example, there are Grishas, people who have magical powers, that are partly based on study of science and partly on instinct. While the organization of power is feudal, with a corrupt monarch and nobility, there's mention of higher education and even science.  I actually got introduced to this series through listening to music on Youtube. I'm pretty sure I heard about this fantasy series (especially on  goodreads), but someho

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

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Image
Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed
