a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

  Bye, bye June...I must admit I'm not sad to see you off. Still, your lessons were valuable, even if difficult. In this recap I've included random pics and illustrations (I couldn't include them all) There were  things I didn't manage to share, written posts that I haven't managed to post, but that's the way it usually is...we'll see what the next month brings. Doviđenja lipnju...moram priznati da mi nije žao što ću te ispratit...ipak, vjerujem da su tvoje lekcije bile vrijedne, iako teške. U ovaj sažetak uvrstila sam nekakav nasumični izbor fotografija i ilustracija jer bi previše bilo uvrsiti sve...i da bilo je stvari koje nisam stigla podijeliti, napisanih postova koje nisam stigla objaviti, ali tako to ide...Vidjet ćemo što nam novi mjesec donosi.

Summer is here and all that so I decided to post one beach outfit. It's been a while since I've published an outfit post, hasn't it?  For me a quintessential beach wear is the pareo . Easy to style and extra comfortable, it can be transformed in a maxi dress, maxi skirt or something a bit shorter in seconds...There are many possibilities. So, what's not to love about that? It is very liberating to be free of stitches, buttons and all that. I hope you don't mind it's from last year because this year I've been to beach only once. The location is Žnjan, Split. Ljeto je tu i tako to pa je vrijeme za jednu odjevnu kombinaciju za plažu. Odavno nisam objavila nikakvu odjevnu kombinaciju, zar ne? Za mene je osnovni odjevni predmet za plažu pareo. Lako ga je stilizirati, jako je udoban, a u sekundi možete ga pretvoriti u dugu suknju ili haljinu...ili nešto kraće...mogućnosti su brojne. Kako ga onda ne voljeti? Jako je oslobađajuće biti oslobođen šavova, dugmadi

Come what may I shall love you until my dying day....I imagine this line got stuck in my mind first time I heard that Moulin Rouge soundtrack song (even if there the lines go ' I will love you...' instead of ' I shall love you...' but I guess that may be subconscious regret that the 'shall' is becoming somewhat of an archaic word in the English language) Anyhow, that would be the explanation behind the line and the inspiration for the illustration is the same as the one behind the song: love. Thank you all for your comments! My laptop is sort of working now, so I hope I will be seeing more of you. xoxo Come what may I shall love you until my dying day...pretpostavljam da mi se ovaj izraz uvukao u glavu još otkada sam čula sountrack za Moulin Rouge (samo je shall umjesto will, ali možda je to moje podsvjesno žaljenje što shall postaje arhaično u engleskom jeziku) Uglavnom to je objašnjenje iza naziva ilustracija, a sama ilustracija je kao i

It looks like my first day on the beach will be my last day on the beach.... at least for a while.  C'est la vie. Today I'm presenting you with two illustrations. There will a few more of them before the moths ends so just that you know what to expect. One more thing... My laptop is not working properly so probably I won't be online as much as usually am. Izgleda da će mi prvi dan na plaži biti i zadnji...barem još neko vrijeme. To je život. Danas vam predstavljam dvije ilustracije, a biti će ih još nekoliko prije kraja mjeseca tako da znate što slijedi. Još nešto...ne radi mi dobro laptop pa neću biti baš dostupna na netu kao obično.
