Fashion illustration of the day/ Današnja modna ilustracija

Dream big

and don't be afraid to boldly go where no one has gone before...

 fashion illustration/  modna ilustracija
Today's fashion illustration comes with a credo 'Dream big'. I've noticed that I'm starting to become a person who is always preparing herself for the worst...and while there is nothing wrong in being realistic and facing the facts (which sometimes in life translated as  facing the ugly truth) we should never let that stop us from keeping a part of our spirit insanely optimistic. In other words: dream big. Dare to believe that you can become your best possible self. We life in a tough world and sometimes in order to survive we really need to be insane optimists, at least part-time.

The outfits I have portrayed  in the illustration are fun, playful and feminine. Perhaps that is what I've been looking for in clothes recently...a way to have some fun really:) The full skirts that were popular in the 50ties are back in and there is something I really like about them, something that says 'Do you wanna dance?'.

Današnja modna ilustracija dolazi sa motom 'Sanjaj velike snove'. Primjetila sam da postajem osoba koja uvijek sebe priprema za najgore...i iako nema ničega pogrešnog u bivanju realnim i shvaćanju činjenica i ponekad teške i grube istine, ne smijemo dopustiti da nas to spriječi da zadržimo dio našeg duha ludo optimističnim. Drugim rječima: sanjaj velike snove. Usudi se vjerovati da možeš postati ono najbolje što možeš biti. Živimo u  teškom svijetu i ponekad da bi preživjeli moramo doista biti ludi optimisti, barem pola radnog vremena.

 Odjevne kombinacije koje sam ovdje prikazala su zabavne, zaigrane i ženstvene. Možda je to ono što tražim u odjeći u zadnje vrijeme...način da se zabavim moglo bi se reći:).  Široke suknje  kakve su bile popularne u pedestima su ponovo u modi, a u njima ima nešto što mi se jako sviđa, nečega što poziva na ples.

    Da...ja vecinu vremena sebe potkopavam i ne pomisljam misliti pre optimisticno, sto je lose i sto bi stvarno voljela promijeniti :/
    Boje, boje i boje...tako ih volim

      da, ponekad nam stvarno treba više vjere u sebe, život ide i donosi razočarenja, ali ne smijemo odustajati.... nekad nam jednostavno treba vremena da posložimo stvari u svojoj glavi....barem meni.

    Ja sam ranije bila takva ali sam poslednjih godina promenila čip i stvarno se trudim da budem pozitivna ali u nekoj realnoj meri i tako je mnogo bolje, zaista, mada nije uvek lako, ali dobro, najvažnije je težiti tome da budemo bolji i da nam bude bolje...
    I ja obožavam takve suknje, i uopšte modu 50-ih, možda mi je čak i omiljena :)

      Trudim se i ja promijeniti čip u glavi, ali lako se vratiti starim navikama....

      Da, baš je simpatična tada moda bila... ja sam sebi nekad smiješna, sviđa mi se toliko različitih stilova, od ovakvih damskih do skroz rokerskih i svaki mi je kad razmišljam o njemu najdraži:) ali dobro, raznolikost je valjda pozitivna.

    Oh, I notice that you have new blog design, I couldn't make it out for the first time. Hope I will get used;) And I've got to say I do love your creative, original drawings. I also can really understand what you are talking about, I feel like that too. I'm too realistic and always preparing myself for the worst, I know it's wrong. I can't do anything about it, though. It is just difficult for me with my character:) At the same time I'm always trying to be more positive, appreciate what I have, but wish to do great things.
    Such a great post turned out, I enjoyed it very much!

      Sometimes in our desire to do things, we don't notice what we already have...that often happens to me...No matter how much things I manage to do in life I always have a feeling like I haven't done anything. In an effort to assess the situation and do the best I can do, I often forget to dream a little or just to live in a moment and find joy wherever I can.

    First I wanna say how much I love also this illustrations and not only because the dominant colour is pink. But yes, I agree, 'Dream big' is a great intent and I believe in general that our dreams come true. To be honest I believe that all our thoughts come true, both the worse and the good thoughts. And you are so clever and beautiful that I'm convinced you are really able to reach many things in your life! I wish you further many success <3

      Yes, our thoughts are very important and sometimes we do harm ourselves by being too negative. As always thank you for your sweet and insightful comment! It really means a lot to me.

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

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

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.

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
