Let's talk about this butterfly that has been nice enough to land in my hair. I made it many years ago, using wire and stones (not precious once) and quite often I would wear it on necklaces (self-made ones naturally). Lately I've turned this little charmer into a hair decoration. Isn't a touch of butterfly the nicest sensation? Now, I mean that in literal (i.e. tactile ) not metaphorical (or fashion) sense. Not that I have anything against butterflies in fashion, I'm wearing one on my head, am I not?

In the summer, on the beach, covered with salt, we suddenly become attractive to butterflies. Taken that you're on a non crowded beach, you may live to  see these little guys leaving the rocks and landing on your feet. I always feel happy as happy as a kid when I see that one has landed on my toes. Why is it that we all like butterflies so much? I once even ,sort of, had a pet butterfly. I discovered him on my balcony half frozen one Autumn morning. I gave him sugar water and he would drink it. He didn't live every long, though. You can't trick death. However, butterflies kind of do...they do trick death in some way. They transform themselves from ugly looking things (at least to some) to beautiful ones. Is it this transformation that fascinates us so? It could be.

The butterfly is quite simple (at least compared to my other jewelry pieces) and you know simplicity has its charms. This outfit is quite basic but that too has its attractions. I would describe it as  pure comfort and I pretty much like everything about it. Beige and brown are an obvious combo and so are jeans ( I mean what is more basic than jeans) but nevertheless, I immensely like this combo. This adorable little brown leather bag is a gift ( and it's a second hand leather bag...isn't it lovely when your friends know exactly what you like?) that I have been wearing quite often. It's basically my favourite little bag of the moment...and I've been wearing these pointy shoes (or perhaps better to call them booties?) a lot lately. They're an old pair, but I definitely have a special place for pointy shoes in my heart. 

Location is, as often, river Buna in vicinty of Mostar city, BIH.

Popričajmo malo o ovom leptiru koji je bio tako ljubazan da mi sleti u kosu. Napravila sam ga prije puno godina, koristeći žicu i kameničiće ( ne dragocjene) i jako često nosila sam ga na ogrlicama (onima koje sam sama napravila naravno). U zadnje vrijeme sam ovog malog ljepotana pretvorila u ukras za kosu. Zar nije dodir leptira najljepši osjećaj? To mislim u doslovnom ( taktilnom) ne u metaforičnom (modnom) smislu. Ne da imam išta protiv leptira u kosi. Mislim, nosim jednog na glavi, zar ne?

Ljeti na plaži, prekriveni soli, odjednom postajemo privlačni leptirima. Niste li na prenapučenoj plaži, možete doživjeti to da letiri napuste kamenje i slete na vaše noge. Uvijek se osjećam sretna kao dijete kada vidim da mi je neki sletio na nožne prste. Zašto tako volimo leptire? Jednom sam čak i imala ljubimca leptira, na neki način. Otkrila sam ga na svom balkonu polu smrznutog jednog jesenjeg jutra. Dala sam mu šećera i voda i on bi to pio. Nije baš dugo živio, ne može se smrt prevariti. No, leptiri to na neki način čine...prevare smrt pretvarajući se iz nečeg ružnog (barem nekima) u nešto lijepo. Je li ta transformacija ono što nas toliko fascinira. Može biti.

Ovaj leptir je poprilično jednostavan ( u usporedbi s mojim uobičajenim nakitom) ali znate  što, jednostavnost ima svoje draži. Ova odjevna kombinacija je poprilično osnovna na neki način (mislim što je uobičajnije od traperica, a i kombinacija bež i smeđe je nekako očita), ali opisala bi ju kao iznimno ugodnu i nadodala da mi se jako sviđa do zadnjeg detalja. Ova preslatka torbica je poklon prijateljice ( i to je second hand kožna torbica, zar nije super kad prijatelji znaju što voliš?) To je moja najdraža torbica u zadnje vrijeme, kao i ove Peko cipele ( ili je bolje reći čizmice?) koje su stari par, ali u mome srcu ima posebno mjesto za ,kako bi rekli u Splitu, špicoke. 

Mjesto snimanja (ako nekog zanima) je, kao često, rijeka Buna u blizini Mostara, BIH.
