Split city (outfit post) / grad Split (odjevna kombinacija)













 






On this particular day I was feeling rather melancholic and sad. A feeling that hasn't lasted very long, though when we feel that way it seems like it will last forever. Beautiful things often have the power to improve my mood and indeed my mood was greatly improved not long after these photographs were taken.  This time the beauty that made me feel better was the pearl of the sea i.e. Split city. I shall never grow tired of it.

...to be continued....

Toga dana osjećala sam se poprilično melankonično i tužno. Osjećaj koji nije potrajao dugo, iako nam se uvijek čini da će trajati zauvijek kada se tako osjećamo. Lijepe stvari često imaju tu moć da poprave moje raspoloženje i doista moje raspoloženje se znatno popravilo nedugo nakon što su ove fotografije uslikane. Ovoga puta ljepota koja me oraspoložila je bio biser mora to jest Split. Nikad mi neće dosaditi.


..nastavlja se...

    You look lovely! We all have those days in which we don't feel very happy, but we have to focus on the positive stuff and our smile will be back very soon :)

    How good, dear Ivana, that your melancholic mood finally disappeared and that you were again able to see the beauty of Split. Nevertheless you look really beautiful on the pictures and I love all the pictures you show here so much. I think such days you describe here belong to each life as they are necessary to find to the basis and the things which are really important for us.

    Happy Sunday my dear friend!

    Hugs and kisses from Germany/Bavaria, Rena

    Drago mi je da se melankolija brzo raspršila, uvijek mrzim kad me ulove takva raspoloženja pa se onda osjećam kao da sve što radim nema nikakvog smisla i slično. Srećom je potrebno malo za veselje pa se lako izvući :)

    Ali odlično izgledaš, super ti je haljina, a moram primjetiti da ti je ova žuta torba postala najdraža od svih :) odlično je što se super uklopi u svaku kombinaciju!

    Zuta torbica, vesela haljinica... ne moze biti mjesta za tugu :) Kad sam ja sugavo raspolozena, uvijek izabirem i takve tmurne tonove sto je bas lose ali trudim se to promijeniti. ..
    Drago mi je da si tugu brzo ostavila po strani iako svi znamo da to nekada bas zna biti tesko ...

    Nikad ne bih rekla da je bilo tako jer ti se ne primećuje ništa. Da li je to zbog veselih boja, predivnog Splita ili nečeg trećeg, ne znam... ;)

    Those photographs are absolutely lovely and you are not looking sad or melancholy there, indeed. The natural grandeur and beauty gives us power to move on, to feel better even when we are drained mentally and physically. You live in a very picturesque place, full of beautiful sights and corners of nature, which is absolutely precious.
    Besides, I always like seeing you in dresses, this one fits you perfectly well!
    Have a productive week ahead, Ivana!

    Stvarno dugo nisam bila u Splitu, mislim da je vrijeme da se javim splitskoj rodbini, pa da se ponovno malo prošetam po tom divnom gradu! Inače, izgledaš odlično. Torba uistinu podiže kombinaciju. Nosi je što češće protiv lošeg raspoloženja! ;)

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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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
