      for the first dress I had a very precise idea of a dress with colourful feathers that I wish I could make:) the other two are just items of clothing and accessories I really like like midi skirts and berets. I guess I get inspired everywhere and I always have a lot of ideas of what could look well together.

SIX OF CROWS BY LEIGH BARDUGO, A DETAILED BOOK REVIEW

Image
  Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers. In this post, I shall review Six of Crows , a fantasy novel by Leigh Bardugo . Published in 2015,  it is set two years after events described in   Ruin and Raising (that is the final novel in the Shadow & Bone Trilogy ). Six of Crows is a duology, meaning that it has a sequel, but first things first.  So, I've read Six of Crows . Was it worth the hype? Yes, it most definitely was. Compared with the Shadow & Bone trilogy, the writing is smoother. On overall, Six of Crows duology is noticeably more polished when it comes to writing than the Shadow &Bone trilogy. The plot in Six of Crows feels more connected and organized, and every detail seems to fit perfectly. The writing is noticeable better in this duology than it was in the Shadow & Bone trilogy .   It was not what I expected, though. You might say that I had pretty high expectations for this novel. Yes, I’ve read quite a few rave reviews for...

Darkness and Light (Joseph Conrad) / Tama i svijetlo

Image
'The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down the river, the only thing for it was to come to and wait for the turn of the tide.  The sea–reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded together without a joint, and in the luminous space the tanned sails of the barges drifting up with the tide seemed to stand still in red clusters of canvas sharply peaked, with gleams of varnished sprits. A haze rested on the low shores that ran out to sea in vanishing flatness. The air was dark above Gravesend, and farther back still seemed condensed into a mournful gloom, brooding motionless over the biggest, and the greatest, town on earth.'                                           ...

BLOOD OF ELVES, A NOVEL BY ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI, WITCHER #3 (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
 Hello. In this post, I shall review Blood of Elves , the third book  and the first novel in the Witcher saga.  The first two books in the Witcher saga are collection of short stories. So, Blood of Elves is actually the first novel in the series.  As I explained in my last post, I was a bit surprised to find out that  Sword of Destiny  was a short story collection (for some reason I thought it was a novel), but I was taken by it  immediately. Soon enough, I found myself enjoying the short story format. I must say, I ended up falling in love with the book (    SWORD OF DESTINY BY ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI , THE WITCHER SERIES #2 ) .   Nevertheless, I was really curious to read the first novel. Again, I took to it right away. Once I started reading Blood of Elves, I immediately felt drawn into the story. The novel is well plotted and well paced.  It's rather conversation heavy so that slows down the pacing but it helps us to get to kno...

A BLOGGER FROM SPLIT CITY ( CROATIA) MEDITATES ON HER LIFE.....

Image
Hello, dear readers and fellow bloggers. In this post, I'll let my thoughts wonder a bit as I touch on a number of subjects. In other words, I'll get philosophical. I started this post writing about my multiple moves, but somehow it has grown into meditations about identity. It all started with a move, though.  I moved seven times in the last six months. Each move was different, and for different reasons. All of them were in some ways work related, and each move was challenging in its own way.  First I moved from Mostar to Medena (near Trogir), then from Medena to Seget Donji (also near Trogir), then from Seget Donji to island Hvar. First I stayed at a friend's house  because accommodation is hard to find, and then I moved to another apartment that flooded, so I had to move again into another rented house. Life lately was quite eventful, resulting in lots of wonderful memories acquired in a short time, but also lots of stress and thinking. Every time I had to drag all my ...

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 Bellucci 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 Bellucci'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 ...

Close to the edge/ Blizu ruba

Image
Don't worry. I have no intention of jumping in. It is just that I've always been attracted to cliffs and chasms. Perhaps I had been a poet of romanticism in my past life. This could be called a 'blogger off duty' outfit. It is what I wear when I go hiking when I have enough sense to wear something appropriate for that activity (which is not always the case, I've been known to go hiking in skirts, and boots with high heels). Love for fashion and clothes is so much more than a simple dressing up. It is what makes us always want to try new things. It is what makes us wear clothes that might not even look flattering on us but that make us happy. In its pure form, love for clothes and fashion is a form of creativity. I'm sure my blogger friends realize that as well. Any real love has its dept, so there is really nothing superficial about love for clothes. Ne brinite se. Nemam nikakvu namjeru baciti se unutra. Radi se samo o me da su me uvijek privlačile litice. ...

Once a bookworm always a bookworm (outfit post) / Jednom knjiški crv uvijek knjiški crv (odjevna objava)

Image
If I was a shoppingholic I would say : 'I was so happy when I bought this tote bag, I mean isn't this inscription so adorable?'. However, since I'm a DIYaholic, I must say: 'I was so happy when I hand painted this old tote bag. Isn't this incription I made so adorable?'. Hm, now that I think about it, there is a certain similiarity between a shopaholic and a DIYaholic. We're both passionate about things and we invest a certain amount of time in getting what we want. To each its own as they say, so far I prefer DIY, but there are certainly advantages to shopping, like not having to spend half a day cleaning your house after all your DIY projects. So you remember these sunglasses that I repainted recently? Well, there is another DIY element in the look and it is this lovely earring that I will talk more about  some other time..... In the meantime, you can see this tote bag styled for the first time  here . You can see one of my numerous 'let's...

Two outfits / Dvije odjevne kombinacije (collaboration/ suradnja CNDirect)

Image
Yesterday morning a package from CNDirect arrived. I ordered and received this coat , this striped cardigan/jacket  and this blouse . I was impatient to try the coat on, but it was too warm during the day so I had to wait until evening hence the second set of photographs is a bit blurry. I wore the striped jacket over a dress in the morning and in the evening I styled the coat and the blouse I received in another outfit. What do you think about my outfits? Have I styled them well? Jučer ujutro mi je stigao paket   CNDirect  stranice. Naručila sam ovaj kaput , ovu prugasti kardigan jaknicu i ovu bluzu . Bila sam nestrpljiva da isprobam kaput, ali bilo je prevruće tijekom dana te sam morala čekati do večeri pa je drugi dio fotografija malo mutan. Nosila sam prugastu jaknicu preko haljine ujutro, a navečer sam skupa nosila kaput i bluzu koju sam dobila u drugoj kombinaciji. Što mislite o odjevnim kombinacijama? Jesam li ih dobro složila? morning outfit/ juta...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

Image
KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper (book recommendation/preporuka knjiga)

Image
Today just one quick reading recommendation. The Yellow Wallpape r is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It was published in 1899 (as you can see on these photographs). Here is a link to a pdf version of this text. The author's right are expired, so feel free to pass it around- it is one of advantages of reading classics:). I do consider this short story to be a classic. It tells a story of a woman who is recovering from post natal depression and is confined to her room. It is considered to one of the earliest works of American feminist literature. In its time it was a very important and ground breaking work because it shed more light on mistreatment of depression in woman (and in many ways it is still relevant), but I think that even if we put all of that aside, it is still a  great story. Even without its important historical context, the story is strong enough to stand on its own. In reality, it is a well written and touching short story. Moreover, I would say that this...
