    Prvo što mi je upalo u oči je to koliko detalja tu ima i kako se sve nekako uklapa. Koliko ti je vremena trebalo? :)

      bila sam odgovorila, pa mi se izbrisalo...pa sam odgovorila kod tebe...za ovu oko sat, ali nikad ne znam koliko će mi trebati, nekad bude brzo gotovo skoro pa u trenu, a nekad npr . za neki krajolik (ulje na platnu) mi treba mjesec dana.

    The portrait is very beautiful and original! I have a question, do you paint somebody real or sketch from nature, or those images come from your imagination?

VISIT MALTA WITH IVANA- HIKING TALES- SAINT JULIAN'S (PART FOUR)

Image
 Hello! In this post, I'll take you to Saint Julian's on Malta. Saint Julian's is a touristic town that is perhaps best described as a mix of traditional and new. The contrast is quite dramatic, you can literally see ancient ruins next to high skyscrapers. As you stroll Saint Julian's, you might even feel like you've wondered upon a construction site, as new skyscrapers seem to be rising continuously. Still, despite all of continuous construction and urban development, Saint Julian's has kept some of its old charm and remains a popular tourist site. Located only about ten kilometers north from Valletta , St. Julian's is a great place to visit. Here you'll see old traditional fishing boats located next to restaurants and night clubs. I myself was taken to Saint Julian's by a friend. We strolled around and talked for hours. I really took this place in, you might say. One of the things in life I was blessed is a good memory. I can bring that evening to

VENERA STOJAN, ŠKALULE I BATULE (Book review and recommendation)

Image
 Hello! In this post, I'll take you back to Split city to share a book review and an outfit post. I'll review a book that made be both cry and laugh. You could say I believe in fate. Never has fate seemed more obvious to me than when it comes to books. So many times in my life has a book arrived at the right time! Every time that happened, I would wonder: 'What are the odds of that?'  There's a whole story behind how I bought this  book, and I will share a more detailed account soon. Until then, I'll give you a short version. I googled events in Split city and saw there was a promotion at Split city library. I have to say this was the best book promotion I have ever attended for a number of reasons. I'll get back to them as I don't have time to go in detail right now. I'm literally typing this on my cellphone, sitting in a café in Split city. What kind of novel is this? Written in Dalmatian dialect, an autobiographical novel by Croatian author Venera

THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ BY L.FRANK BAUM (BOOK REVIEW)

Image
Today I'll review a true classic of children's literature: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , a book by L. Frank Baum. I have read this book fairly recently, so it is still fresh in my mind.  I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by T he Wonderful Wizard of Oz .  I actually enjoyed it a lot, so my book review is also  a book recommendation.   This classic of children literature is such a well rounded tale.  You can read The  Wonderful Wizard of Oz for free on the pages of project Gutenberg here  (that's also the source for the quotes I'm going to use). First, a few words from the author himself:  Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Image
Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing. First we will identify the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine and hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because I think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  KEY ITEMS IN MONICA'S CLOSETS The key items in Monica's closet are classical ones. That is what makes her style easy to emulate. Items such as a black dress, a white shirt, a tailored suit, a leopard item and a floral dress are really items most of u

OZZ STUDENTS' FASHION SHOW, MENTOR FASHION DESIGNER STANKA ZOVKO (MOSTAR INTERNATIONAL FAIR)

Image
EN  Hello! Today I'm happy to share with you a wonderful fashion show I attended last Friday at Mostar International Fair. As you might remember, I regularly visit Mostar International Fair.  Anyhow, this time I was there to see and support a  really special fashion show. This fashion show showed creations from students who attended a fashion sewing and design course held by designer Stanka Zovko. If you remember, a few years back  I attended this sewing and design course myself. I was invited to present my creations as well. I couldn't participate myself this year due to previous engagements, but who knows maybe next year I'll get the chance. How amazing would it be to participate as a fashion designer? Still, I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was just to  attend this fashion show and see all the designs.  It was such a terrific experience. HR Zdravo! Danas sa zadovoljstvom mogu podijeliti s vama prekrasnu modnu reviju kojoj sam prisustvovala prošlog petka na Međ

Sights to see, Places to visit: Lake Blidinje/ Mjesta za posjetiti, znamenitosti za vidjeti : jezero Blidinje

Image
Today we shall talk about Lake Blidinje. As the name would imply, this lake is located in the nature park Blidinje. It is the largest mountain lake in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located at an elevation of 1.885 meters (3.888 feet). I personally haven't seen a mountain lake of this size before. There is something almost surreal about seeing a lake in mountains, especially at this kind of altitude. I wonder is anyone  brave enough to swim in there. Maybe I will dare it some other time. This lake isn't very deep, its maximal dept is about 3 meters and its average dept is only 0.5 m. Its width and length are a bit over 2 km, but these two can vary depending on weather conditions. I can tell you that this lake was a very impressive sight. Anyhow, you will get to tour it too, at least virtually, because today I will show you lake Blidinje from different angles. These photographs were taken on two locations, one right next to the lake and the second one a bit higher above (on those phot

VISIT THE WONDERFUL STON (CROATIA) AND LEARN ABOUT ITS RICH HISTORY!

Image
 Hello dear readers! If you would like to visit a fascinating historical settlement, you've come to the right place. Today I'm taking you to Ston, Croatia! We visited Ston town back in March 2023. As was the case with our last visit to Ston six years ago, this too was an unplanned  visit, a spur of the moment thing. My aunt and uncle were there for a Seafood festival, so we drove to Ston to meet them. We enjoyed a nice walk and grabbed a cup of coffee with them. We didn't have the time to linger or to join the food festival. My working hours are insane this year and the work never seems to end. At the same time, the prices of living are skyrocketing, so despite being exhausted, I'm always looking for additional work. So, as you can imagine I was very grateful for this short trip and a little break.  The weather was simply perfect, sunny and warm. I do love that about the Mediterranean climate- you can count on it to deliver those perfect sunny days as early as March! On

WHAT TO WEAR WHEN TRAVELLING IN SUMMER?

Image
When we talk about travelling outfits, comfort is definitely something we need to consider. Everyone wants to be comfortable when travelling, right? As much as visiting a certain town or resort can be fun and relaxing, the process of getting there might be a little stressful. Comfort is definitely important. However, the thing is that everyone has a different definition of comfort. Some ladies might feel perfectly comfortable in a dress, while others might prefer the typical jeans and tee outfit formula. Sure, it makes sense to follow some rules. Opting for practical and utility wear might make your life easier when travelling. Similarly, wearing breathable, comfortable and natural fabrics in summer makes sense. However, what if you have a fabulous polyester vintage item you're dying to wear? You know, if that vintage polyester item makes you feel good, wearing it probably makes sense. When it comes to summer travel style, being reasonable and practical is important. Howe

POST UPDATE 2024  FRIDAY FASHION ILLUSTRATION: FANTASY Let's TALK illustration.  Sometimes I illustrate items that I actually wear. Sometimes I illustrate my own outfits.  Sometimes I illustrate other bloggers.  I HAVE ILLUSTRATED THIS LEATHER JACKET TWICE!   HERE  &  HERE  Browsing my archives I realized that I have illustrated this leather jacket at least twice before. Moreover, counting the post today I have illustrated this pair of high brown boots four times! Is it me or am I starting to wear the items I have illustrated more often? Do you think that's possible? Perhaps illustrating them creates a sort of  visual fashion memento in my head.   SHOULD YOU USE A REFERENCE WHEN PRACTICING FASHION ILLUSTRATION? Is reference important? Should I drew with a reference or from imagination? My answer would be that you should do both. When I wrote about ten ways to improve your fashion illustration skills, both drawing with and without reference made my list of tips.  I said that
