Omiš (fotografija/photography)









I've been thinking how many times I have just drove trough Omiš (these photos were taken from the bus last week) and the fact that I've been in the city only once. Only once! Time flies and so many things we want just slip trough our fingers. I have never visited the famous Omiš acapella festival nor have I seen the reconstruction of the pirate fights that also happen in the summer....Nor have I ever been rafting on the Cetina ( the river that flows trough the city). The city was once famous for its Corsairs of Almissa and their saggitas (Latin meaning the arrow) small quick boats that were made for quick attacks and retrieval into the mouth of Cetina, protecting the city from attacks.

Baš sam razmišljala koliko sam se puta samo provezla kroz Omiš (pa su tako i ove fotografije slikane iz busa prošlog tjedna) i činjenici da sam u samo gradu bila samo jednom. Vrijeme leti i toliko stvari koje želimo jednostavno nam skliznu kroz prste.  Nisam nikada posjetila festival klapa u Omišu niti njihove rekonstrukcije gusarskih borbi. Nisam nikad bila ni na raftingu na Cetini. Možda jednog dana:)

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
