DIY (butterfly necklace--ogrlica leptir)



As promised, this month there will be more DIY posts.
 I'm not sure when exactly I have made this necklace....
 ....but I have found one old photo (from 2005!!!) where I'm wearing it so I have probably made it while I was still in high school.

 Time stops for no one...can't believe that my stay in Sicily was that long ago...and looking at this old photo, it seems like I always loved braids, doesn't it?

Nisam sigurna kada sam točno napravila ovu ogrlicu, ali sam pronašla jednu staru fotografiju (iz 2005 zamislite) gdje je nosim pa je vjerovatno da sam je napravila dok sam bila u srednjoj školi. Vrijeme stvarno leti...ne mogu vjerovati da je prošlo toliko od moga boravka na Siciliji. Gledajući ovu sedam godina staru fotografiju moram promjetiti da još uvijek nosim istu frizuru (većinom barem), uvijek pletenice.

    Baš mi se sviđa leptirić :))
    Tako se inače i ja znam šokirati kad pogledam neke stare fotke i shvatim da su slikane prije 7,8 godina...vrijeme ide prebrzo.

    You haven't changed since you was young. Lately I've been thinking of my long gone teenage years too. Your necklace is lovely, carry on with your talent, 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 ...

WINDHAVEN ( BOOK REVIEW) AND JELSA OUTFITS

Image
Hello, dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall share three outfits and a book review. The stunning location for the photographs is Jelsa on island Hvar. I've blogged about this little touristic gem many times and you'll find more links about Jelsa towards the end of the post. Now, about the reading recommendations of the day. I'll be reviewing Windhaven , a science fiction novel by George R.R. Martin and Lisa Turtle. I read this novel years ago, but I still haven't reviewed it on this blog. Better late than never, right?  The outfits I'm sharing are a few transitional looks I wore in September in Jelsa. August and September were eventful months, with the move, job changes and so on. Life always seems to be getting more eventful. I suppose that isn't always a bad thing, is it? Change can be good. The weather has been quite changeable as well, as changeable as you expect transitional weather to be. Sometimes I wanted (and needed) to wear something ...

How to wear a scarf in more ways than one? (outfit post) / Kako nositi šal na više od jednog načina? (odjevna objava)

Image
Two ways to wear a scarf. Nothing revolutionary. If you want more inspiration, you will have to click this old  post  of mine. The first suggestion I'm trowing your way is just tieing a scarf in a bow. Nice, simple and bound to give every outfit a feminine touch. Do you agree? The other way is to secure a scarf with a belt. You must have took notice of  'belted scarf' trend last year. I think we will be seeing it in the upcoming Autumn and Winter season as well. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and wear more black, but even when I choose an all black outfit, I feel a need for accessories that will be anything but.   Dva načina za nositi šal. Ništa revolucionarno. Želite li više nadahnuća, morati ćete otići na ovu moju staru objavu . Moj prvi prijedlog je da jednostavno zavežete šal u mašnu. Lijepo, jednostavno i sigurno će dati svakoj odjevnoj kombinaciji notu ženstvenosti. Slažete li se? Drugi način je učvrstiti šal na mjestu s remenom. Sigurno ste prim...

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
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...

The Heart of a Woman (an outfit post and a book recommendation / Srce žene (odjevna objava i preporuka knjige)

Image
 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 ...
