This oil painting of mine seems to have a life of its own. Is it finally finished? I haven't got a clue.
Ovo moje ulje na platnu ima neki svoj život. Je li konačno dovršena ova slika? Nemam pojma.
Dear Ivana, your art is living! And I think especially this fact is essential. For me your art (which I always like so much and also in this case I like both versions) is a mirror and an expression about what in your life and soul is happening. And therefore I'm not astonished that you can't say if a picture is finished or not as you are in the prime of life <3 Happy 3rd Advent!
I love how creative you are, Ivana. From sewing, painting, you are able to do all the things that I can't. I do wish I can paint but I am never a creative person so good for you to be able to create beautiful pictures.
All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.
How to style a graphic t-shirt? There are quite a few ways to go about it. My outfit proposal of the day suggests that you should try styling your graphic tee with a white shirt, white jeans and a pair of pink heels. Just because autumn is here, doesn't mean you have to wear only dark colours. White items can look so elegant when styled right. Wearing white for autumn and winter can be a great way to refresh your style. If your style is more classical, pair white with neutral colours such as black or grey. If you're a lover of colour, you can have fun pairing white with any shade you like. I actually love to wear soft colours such as baby pink and blue even in the colder months. If you want to jazz up your graphic tee outfit, why not try pairing it with white jeans? If your graphic t-shirt is short sleeved, why not try layering a shirt or a blouse under it? If you borrow you t-shirt from your boyfriend or someone taller than yourself, you can even wear it as a dress and pair i

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share what I wore to a traditional wedding in Herzegovina. Some vintage dresses are more special than others. This royal blue one falls into the category of more special ones. Not just because this long formal dress is absolutely gorgeous (more about that later) but because there's a story to it. Worn for several wedding celebrations spanning several decades, this dress has lived quite an interesting life! This long blue pleated dress was a gift from my aunt. My aunt Nena actually wore it to her wedding! This blue dress wasn't her dress, but the formal dress she changed into after reception. Back when my aunt was young, that was the norm. The brides would typically get married in one dress and change to another later. Our Croatian traditional weddings were never a reception sort of things, they are typically quite elaborate. Croatian wedding were always an all night affair (the wedding celebrations and customs somet
Hello readers! How are you doing? I came back to Split city (for work reasons) last Friday. I'm not sure how long I will stay here, it depends entirely on my work contract. Naturally, I'm always happy to be back in my beautiful home town. It seems I'm not the only one, as there still are tourists around. Anyhow, today I will show you two more ways to style this simple long sleeved grey dress. I've had this comfortable 'bellow the knee' dress for a few years and on overall found it really practical. I love that it is an item that can be worn all year around and that is exactly what I did. In a recent post, I showed you three ways to wear this grey dress. In this post from 2020, I showed you additional thirteen ways to style it and in this post from 2021 two more winter outfits with it. I also wore this grey dress with a faux fur coat while I shared some reading recommendations. I think I'm getting close to 30 wears with this one and that's great b
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review The Time of Indifference , a novel by Alberto Moravia. You can read this novel in English for free here . Published in 1929, The Time of Indifference is a beautifully complex psychological novel that explores human emotions and relationships. The novel focuses on one dysfunctional family specifically and is spread over a very short span of time (a few days). Rather than on events, this novel focuses on inner lives of its bourgeoise protagonists. It could perhaps be best described as a work of psychological realism with elements of existentialism. Besides reviewing this novel, I'll also show you a spring outfit I wore fairy recently. Spring is nearing its end and Summer is almost here. Spring's been filled with work and family events but I found time to do some blogging and reading. Yes, I managed to find some time on my blog to publish a quite few book reviews. Now , the time has come to share with my m
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! If you're a regular reader of my blog, then you'd have been acquainted with my fascination with Joseph Conrad. I've read most of his works and I always keep coming back for more. In this post, I'll review one of his novels The Secret Agent. A novel somewhat different than other Conard's works I've read so far. For one, it's neither set on a boat nor does it talk about the sea. Indeed, seafaring plays no part in this one. Published in 1907, The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale is a novel that focuses on topics of politics, terrorism and espionage. Some might call it a political piece of writing, I would describe it more as a psychological triller. However, the role of politics in this novel is certainly very important, as the protagonist Verloc works for a political organization. Moreover, I've got an outfit to go with it. This purple vintage blazer is giving me Victorian vibes. It's not that old, though. I pai
The Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica dominates the skyline of Rome city. Indeed, while taking in Rome’s magnificent panorama, it is hard to miss it. All for the better, for it is hard to imagine that anyone would want to miss such a pretty sight. The Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica is, undoubtedly, one of the most impressive sights in Rome. Considering the amount of breath-taking wonders that this eternal city can boast of, that is saying something. Recently I have finished a new oil painting that was inspired by St. Peter's Dome in Vacation. Hence today (besides sharing this new painting of mine), I would like to share some lesser know facts about Dome of Saint Peter. This masterpiece of architecture is certainly worth a study. So, here are ten interesting facts about the St. Peter’s Basilica Dome. Ten interesting facts about the St. Peter’s Basilica Dome #FACT 1 1
Summer isn't over yet! So, the question remains: what to wear in the remaining summer days? How about the colour of love? Red is the colour of love and passion. What better colour to end the summer with? If you want to infuse more red into your summer outfits, you've came to the right place. This year I've been crushing on yellow, but that doesn't mean that I have forgot about the power of colour red. We'll start with baby steps. As with any trend, starting small is always a good idea. Check your closet and look for anything red. If you don't like red or you don't feel confident enough to rock a red dress, you can always accessorize. Red scarves, bags and other red accessories are a great way to add some colours to your outfits. Don't forget about make up! A red lip goes a long way. A red manicure always looks classical and elegant. If you want to try a new hair colour, why not opt for red? There is something special about redheads. Just like wi
Today I'm back with a book review: Murder in Three Acts (or Three Act Tragedy) , a novel by Agatha Christie. This novel was originally published under the title Three Act Tragedy in 1935 but since it was adapted for television (in 1986) as Murder in Three Acts ., it has also been printed under that alternative title. If murder mystery is your genre, you simply cannot go wrong with Agatha Christie. When I was in middle school, Agatha Christie was a popular choice among us kids. However, I realized that I enjoy her writing just as much as an adult. Among Agatha Christie's works, my favourite books are those with the legendary Belgian detective Poirot. Earlier this year I reviewed Hercule Poiroit's Christmas . Today I will review this 1935 novel. Funny to think it's almost 100 years since it has been published! I will also share two summer outfits with you, both featuring skirts from designer Stanka Zovko paired with ruffled floral blouses and heeled sandals. I quit
