That is the saddest thing ...Najtužnije je....






" That is the saddest thing when you lose someone you love- that person keeps changing. And later you wonder. Is it the same person I  lost? Maybe you lost more, maybe less, there are thousand things that come from imagination and you don't know which is which, which was true, which is false". Amy Tan, The Kitchen God's Wife


" Kad izgubiš nekoga koga ljubiš, najtužnije je baš to što se ta osoba stalno mijenja. Kasnije se zato pitaš: je li to ista ona osoba koju sam izgubila? Možda si izgubila više, možda manje, deset je tisuća stvari koje ti naviru iz pamćenja ili mašte- a ti ne znaš što je što, što je istinito, a što lažno." Amy Tan, Žena boga kuhinje

    Hvala ti na lijepim rijecima za rodjendan. Da, bio je jucer... hvala od srca!
    Citat je divan... mocan, emotivan i tako istinit. Ilustracija je takodjer takva. Jako si realisticno prikazala neizmjernu tugu u njenim ocima...

    Baš si uspjela prenijeti taj osjećaj tuge i gubitka u očima, divno.

    Mislim da nisi mogla bolje da ilustruješ tugu iz citata. Ipak, nadam se samo da je tu u umetničke svrhe ;)

    oh, sometimes we really expect too much from the people around us, so when they come short of our expectations we feel ourselves deeply unhappy and betrayed. But the truth is that we have just overreached ourselves. That is so right that a lot of things are just coming from our imagination, and we can't really claim to be objective.
    That painting looks so sad and sorrowful, probably it corresponds to your state of mind. In this case I just hope that things will sort themselves and the skies will clear for you, dear Ivana. God bless you, take care!

Why is fashion often a dirty world? / Zašto je moda često prljava riječ?

Image
Dear readers, what do we talk about when we talk about fashion? Is fashion a serious topic to be discussed? Is a worthy topic? Is fashion a worthy occupation? Should we pride ourselves in our interest to fashion or be ashamed of it?  Is fashion becoming a dirty world? Is not caring about fashion something that makes one relatable? If yes, why so?  Is fashion a form of art or a trivial interest? Is fashion shallow and vulgar? If yes, why so?  Why this negative perception of fashion? Why is it that fashion is something that is not supposed to be debated among serious or even decent people? Why it is not something that most of people would consider as a serious job choice? Is it because we think it is unapproachable or because we're kind of ashamed of wanting to work in fashion? Is there something wrong with liking fashion? Or why are we so often ashamed of our interest in fashion? If we admit that we like it, we often get this feeling of forbidden pleasure.  Why is fa...

OUTFIT AND BOOK OF THE DAY (LORD OF LIGHT, A NOVEL BY ROGER ZELAZNY)

Hello dear readers! How's February treating you so far? Today I'll share a casual styling with you. I don't wear jeans on everyday basis, but sometimes nothing feels better than a pair of jeans.  Jeans are a timeless classic for a reason. Jeans never get old, perhaps because there are endless ways to wear them. If you're looking for some denim outfit inspiration, you can have a look at  my visual guide for wearing jeans for autumn and winter.   Jeans paired with heeled boots are one of my favourite outfit formulas for autumn and winter. I wore this outfit for a stroll in lovely Jelsa village on island Hvar.  HOW I WORE IT BEFORE?  As always, I try to be more sustainable in my fashion choices and wear my clothes as much a possible. That is one of the reasons why I link up my old outfits. The other reason is to find some fashion inspiration. One of the perks of having a blog is that it is a bit like having a digital closet.  THE LILAC SWEATER...

WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY WHEN YOU CAN

Image
Everyday is an opportunity to play dress up. Even if we're only getting dressed up for yourselves. In fact, especially then- if you're dressing for yourselves. If you think about it, your free time is the perfect time to play dress up. Too many people wear shabby clothes when they're around their house or when they go out for a walk. Don't wait for a big occasion, wear that pretty dress you have today- or whatever item in your outfit that you are saving for the right occasion. Life is an occasion enough.  An occasion to be grateful and to be joyful. Embrace life and joy that it can bring. Wear clothes that make you happy when you can. Obviously, we cannot always wear what we want, sometimes we need to be practical or dress for work. However, only too often do we forget to dress up when we can.  People speak about being comfortable, but isn't a fabulous outfit often just as if not more comfortable than the same old 'around the house' look? Why not wear a pre...

My creation (cat ears)/ Moja kreacija ( mačje uši)

Happiness is.... a soccer stadium that even a soccer hater must admire... Happiness is....four thousand years old sphinx that is soaking Split's sunshine and resting her pretty heard from riddles and questions....for she is no hurry, she has felt at home here ever since, almost two thousand years ago, a Roman emperor named Diocletian put her there..... Happiness is a city that is more than a city....a city that is opera and klapa, rock and serenades....the past and the future...happiness and sorrow....tourist hotspot and home to forty thousand unemployed. Happiness is….concealed within the children that are jumping and playing on mosaics and monuments thousands of years old....and that is actually something beautiful, a sign that this city lives...a reminder that is has been successful in a very difficult task ....a reminder that it learned the very important secret of joining the past and the future. Sreća je.... stadion kojem će i  mrzite...

The most beautiful bus stop in the world?...Najljepša autobusna stranica na svijetu?

Image
Meaning only exists within a context. Words taken out of context lose their meaning, don't they? Is waiting for the bus something that fills you with anxiety? Well, most people would tend to agree that a bus stop as such can be a great source of irritation depending on how much time you spend on it. Imagine for a moment that you’re waiting a bus. You have been waiting for it for an half an hour. You’re getting angry. You are feeling frustrated. Perhaps you’re even swearing (not out loud I hope). Now, imagine you have been suddenly transported onto this bus stop. Yes, the one you see in this first photo. This amazingly beautiful bus stop that is located in city Starigrad’s port on Island Hvar, Croatia. How do you feel now? Do you feel better?  Ok, let’s also assume you know a way to get teleported here or something so you’re not terribly shocked at the change of destination but very relieved by it. You’re on another bus stop but now you don’t care will the bus be late or not, you...
