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.
Hello! In this post, I'll take you back to Split city to share a book review and an outfit post. I'll review a book that made be both cry and laugh. You could say I believe in fate. Never has fate seemed more obvious to me than when it comes to books. So many times in my life has a book arrived at the right time! Every time that happened, I would wonder: 'What are the odds of that?' There's a whole story behind how I bought this book, and I will share a more detailed account soon. Until then, I'll give you a short version. I googled events in Split city and saw there was a promotion at Split city library. I have to say this was the best book promotion I have ever attended for a number of reasons. I'll get back to them as I don't have time to go in detail right now. I'm literally typing this on my cellphone, sitting in a café in Split city. What kind of novel is this? Written in Dalmatian dialect, an autobiographical novel by Croatian author Venera
POST UPDATE 2024 FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: FANTASY Let's TALK illustration. Sometimes I illustrate items that I actually wear. Sometimes I illustrate my own outfits. Sometimes I illustrate other bloggers. I HAVE ILLUSTRATED THIS LEATHER JACKET TWICE! HERE & HERE Browsing my archives I realized that I have illustrated this leather jacket at least twice before. Moreover, counting the post today I have illustrated this pair of high brown boots four times! Is it me or am I starting to wear the items I have illustrated more often? Do you think that's possible? Perhaps illustrating them creates a sort of visual fashion memento in my head. SHOULD YOU USE A REFERENCE WHEN PRACTICING FASHION ILLUSTRATION? Is reference important? Should I drew with a reference or from imagination? My answer would be that you should do both. When I wrote about ten ways to improve your fashion illustration skills, both drawing with and without reference made my list of tips. I said that
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily. The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&
I honestly don't remember when I enjoyed a novel as much as Les Miserable s by Victor Hugo and that, taken the fact that literature is a huge part of my life, is saying a lot. I loved absolutely everything about it, not just the characters and the story but also those parts that were historical and philosophical. This is a true classic and I good reminder to myself why it is always a good idea to get back to the classics. Now, about the outfit. Cat ears that I'm wearing started out as a necklace, worked part time as a belt and a bracelet, but you know how it is with jewellery I make, I always find new uses for it. Sometimes I think about the different function in the process of designing my pieces, but sometimes I get ideas as time goes up. This necklace I'm wearing is also my creation. Iskreno se ne sjećam kada sam uživala u nekom romanu tako kao u Jadnicima Victora Huga i to nije mala stvar za reći, s obzirom na to koliko je prostora u mom životu posvećeno baš knjiže
Home on the road Dom na cesti I lay in the dirt next to the road Ležah u prašini kraj ceste Neither I saw his face Niti ja vidim lice njegovo nor he saw mine. niti on vidje lice moje. The stars came down and the air was blue Zvijezde sišle su i zrak bijaše plav Neither I saw his hands Niti vidjeh ruke njegove nor he saw mine. niti on vidje moje. The East became as green as a lemon. Istok postane zelen kao limun. Because of one bird, I open my eyes. Zbog jedne ptice otvorim oči. Then I found out whom I have loved Tada doznah ko
I don't usually take a lot of photos with my smartphone, because the quality is not that great but looking back at photos taken these two last months, there are some that I'd like to share.... Baš i ne slikavam puno s mobitelom jer nije dobra kvaliteta fotografija, ali gledajući slike uslikane zadnja dva mjeseca, vidim da ima nekih koje bi ipak voljela podijeliti tako da....

Zavala was love at first sight. I can still see its beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea when I close my eyes. Such a serene place to be! I visited Zavala about two months ago (in April) when we finally managed to find some time for a short visit. I have never visited prior to that day, despite having roots on the island. However, since I'm currently living on island Hvar, I really have no excuse to miss out on exploring Zavala. Zavala je bila ljubav na prvi pogled. Još uvijek mogu vidjeti njene prekrasne plaže i kristalno more kada zatvorim oči. Tako mirno mjesto! Prije otprilike dva mjeseca (u travnju) konačno smo ulovili trenutak za otići nakratko u Zavalu. Nisam nikad prije tamo bila, iako imam korijene na otoku Hvaru. S obzirom da trenutno živim na otoku Hvaru, odlučila sam iskoristiti priliku da ju konačno posjetim, a sada pogotovo nemam izliku da ju ne istražim. You can get to Zavala from Jelsa in no time. The road is a bit challenging and narrow at times (often the case
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you? Today I'll show you twenty ways to wear a pair of heeled white sandals. You know I'm into sustainable fashion and one of the best ways to be more green is to make the most out of our closet. Anyhow, I purchased these white leather sandals with wood heels back in 2016. I was attracted to this pair immediately. What impressed me in particular was the unique heel design. I got a lot of wear of this white pair. I always enjoy wearing these sandals because they are not only chic but also surprisingly comfortable. However, when one of the clasps broke, I retired these sandals. This summer I found them in my closet and decided to fix them and make them a part of my outfits again. I wore them quite a few times this summer already and I already have plans for incorporating them in my Autumn looks by layering them with socks, stockings and tights. Scroll down to see how I wore them this summer as well as to see some of my older styli
You would have already seen this painting, if you follow me on Instagram. Greenery vibes and that sort of thing. I'm quite happy about this whole 'green' for Spring trend, in case you can't tell. The lady illustrated is wearing a green dress with flare sleeves, but you can really see the entire dress because I didn't painted all of it. Anyway, 'nevermore' inscription is, as you probably can guess, a reference to a famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Speaking of American writers I've just finished World's End by T.C. Boyle. This novel won the PEN/Faulkner award in 1988. It is certainly a well written work of fiction, but very demanding on the reader. You have to concentrate hard while reading if you want to be able to follow the story. If your mind wanders a bit so that you miss a sentence or God forbid a passage, you will have to go back to reread it. If you don't feel like you can commit to the reading process fully at the moment, forget about t
