    Love these oil paints, especially the blue lips are fascinating me! I think that you have chosen this colour includes a message for you ...

      the colours are consistent with descriptions of Rusalka in slavic lore. They're fairies or spirits (there are different versions) and they are believed to dwell in water (lakes, rivers etc)...their hair is usually described as green and perpetually wet. So, the blue lips represent their connection to the water.

TROGIR TOWN SUMMER 2025 (SLAVA RAŠKAJ EXHIBITION)

Image
 Hello dear readers/ fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two summer outfits I wore for visiting Trogir town. During one of these two visits, I also attended an art exhibition by Slava Raškaj, considered one of the best Croatian watercolours of the last century. It was such a joy and privilege to see her aquarelles in person. Slava Raškaj is a name practically everyone in Croatia knows, because many schools are named after her. So, growing up, it was a name I kept hearing. However, neither did I  know about this Slava exhibition in Trogir, nor was that the reason for my visit. I happened on it by pure chance during one of my visits.  Lucky me! However, I've always admired Slava Raškaj and wanted to see her works in person. Thank you Trogir town for organizing this (free) exhibition! I have visited Trogir a few times this Summer actually. Seeing that I work nearby, it makes sense to pay this lovely historical town a visit whenever possible. Not that I can do it too of...

Princess Mononoke / Princeza Mononoke (Hand Painted Jeans and A DIY necklace For a Stroll in Mostar city)

Image
 DIY projects always make me happy. Today I'm wearing a necklace that I made myself. In addition, the hair decoration is the result of my creative work. It is actually a necklace ( see how I wore it here and here ), but I always find new ways for wearing my necklaces. If you want to see how to make this kind of statement necklace, check out my last post . I wore this outfit when I took a stroll in Mostar (you know I'm all about that be a tourist in your own city philosophy) with my husband. He said I look like princess Mononoke. What an original compliment!  Anyway, since I happen to like this epic anime movie, I didin't mind hearing that at all.  Volim sama izrađivati stvari. Danas nosim ogrlicu koju sam sama napravila.  Uz to, ukras za kosu je također posljedica moga kreativnoga rad. Zapravo se radi o ogrlici (pogledajte kako sam je nosila ovdje i ovdje ), ali uvijek pronalazim nove načine za nošenje svojih ogrlica. Želite li vidjeti kako pravim ovakav ...

outfits (green and blue )/ odjevne kombinacije (zelena i plava)

Image
jacket: alpine pro, dress: moda in, sweater: vintage, shoes: nosense, bag:handmade for me by my grandmother, sunnies: DM jacket: Azel, tartan scarf: tartan tablecloth bought at local store, midi skirt: vintage, heels: no name, sunnies: DM I wore both of these outfits last Friday, so I've decided to post them together.The first one I wore when I went to buy some new canvases and the second one was really just trying out this vintage midi skirt I got recently. The skirt is about one size too big but I've decided that I won't do anything about it because this way it is easier to layer it (or maybe I'm just too lazy). I love to wear colours in winter and both of these looks are dominated by a certain colour, the first one by green and the second one by blue. That would be all for today, I really lack the energy to write about anything else. xoxo Obje ove odjevne kombinacije nosila sam prošlog petka, pa sam ih odlučila objaviti zajedno. Pr...

Layering in Spring time....Slojevito odijevanje u proljeće....

Image
Today I have prepared a transitional outfit for you. Considering how temperemental weather is these days, it seems appropriate to post a transitional outfit like this one. I know that Summer is approaching but when weather has a mind of its own, we must act accordingly. Anyway, I decided to wear a purple dress under a purple sweater. I always try to find ways to wear summer dresses during Spring. On top of that I wore a man's blazer that I originally ordered for my significant other. The only jewellery I wore is this lovely necklace I ordered ages ago from this site . I wear it quite often and I think this type of statement necklace really comes in handy. How was your weekend? Mine was fine, despite the stomach bug. Fingers crossed that it goes away soon. P.S. In case you're wondering about the location, it is once again Bunica recreational zone (which is located near Mostar, BIH). Danas sam za vas pripremila prijelaznu odjevnu kombinaciju. S obzirom na to kako je promjenj...

How To Style Animal Print? + An Autumnal Fairy Tale at Ethno Village Near Medugorje

Image
With winter at our doorstep, I think it's important to make the most out of the left over autumn days. With that in mind, my husband and I payed another visit to our favourite (still not officially opened!) ethno village in vicinity of Medugorje. I wrote about this eco/ethno village a number of times, so if you want to know more (or just see more photographs) feel free to check out my old posts  here ,  here ,  here ,  here  and  here .  Autumn is Herzegovina is always gorgeous, and this year hasn't been an exception. We had some sudden weather changes and drastic changes of temperature, but I would still describe this autumn as a beautiful one. The Sunday this photographs were taken on was rather gorgeous, so I'm certainly glad we went on this little trip. I know I'm repeating myself, but I do cherish moments like this. Every time I step into this little village, I feel as if the time has stopped or rather like I have just travelled in time. It's s...
