tourist (outfit post)/ turist (odjevna objava)























necklace: DIY/moj ručni rad, sneakers/ tenisice (patike): umbro, the rest/ostalo: no brand


Don't feel bad if you can't travel at the moment. Many people can't afford a vacation and there are always those with small kids for whom travelling is difficult. Just because you're not able to take a vacation doesn't mean you can't have some fun. Being a tourist in your own town can be a lot of fun. 

Forget about make up (and hairdos), wear sneakers and jeans and go for that long walk that will show you another side of your town. Find a neighbourhood you haven't been in, discover something new, let yourself be taken over by your inner traveler (we all have an inner traveler in us- that's one of the things I strongly believe in). No matter the size of the town you happen to live in, the chances are there are places in it you haven't seen before. 

Imagine that you're a tourist. What would you do? You would walk, you would explore ,you would let yourself and your imagination be occupied by some particular place. You can do all that in the place you live in. Give yourself a benefit of a long walk. Human body was designed for motion and our eyes need their rest from the screens and the virtual world. If it is cold outside, dress warmly (like I had for this occasion, I only regret not taking a cap because it was really windy that day)...and don't forget to dress comfortably either. 

All these photos were taken in Mostar, about two week ago. I'm wearing a statement necklace that has been featured in the previous post and that you've asked to see in an outfit post. So, here it is:). Have a great start of the week everyone!

Nemojte biti loše volje samo zato što ne može otputovati negdje. Puno ljudi si ne može priuštiti putovanje (ljetovanje/zimovanje), a tu su uvijek i roditelji čija su djeca još mala i kojima je nezgodno putovati sa njima. Samo zato što ne možete otići na odmor, ne mora značiti da vam mora biti dosadno. Postati turist u vlastitom gradu može biti jako zabavno iskustvo. Zaboravite na šminku ili frizuru i otiđite u dugu šetnju koja će vam pokazati novu stranu vašeg grada. Pronađite kvart u kojem niste bili, otkrijte nešto novo, dozvoliti sebi da vas preuzme vaš untrašnji putnik (čvrsto vjerujem da svi imamo unutrašnjeg putnika). Bez obzira na veličinu grada u kojem živi, velika je vjerojatnost da ima neko mjesto na kojem još niste bili.  

Zamislite da ste turist. Što biste napravili? Šetali bi, istraživali bi, pustili bi da vas i vašu maštu obuzme neko određeno mjesto. Sve to možete napraviti u mjestu u kojem živite. Priuštite sebi dugu šetnju. Ljudsko je tijelo stvoreno za kretanje i našim očima je potrebam odmor od ekrana. Ukoliko je vani hladno, obucite se toplo (kao što sam ja za ovu šetnju i bilo mi je žao što nisam uzela i kapu jer je bilo jako vjetrovito)...i nemojte se zaboraviti obući i obuti i udobno.

Sve su ove fotografije uslikane u Mostaru predprošlog tjedna. Nosim veliku ogrlicu koju sam sama izradila iz prošle objave, a koju ste željeli vidjeti nošenu, pa je evo:). Uživajte svi u sjajnom početku tjedna!

    sviđa mi se jakna, baš je dobra :)
    slažem se istraživanje grada u kojem živimo. uvijek ima nešto što još ne znamo.

    Ogrlica deluje mnogo lepo, cak mi je lepsa nego u prosloj objavi.
    Ja se potpuno slazem sa tobom, ja obozavam da sama lutam po meni poznatim mestima i bukvalo u glavi sebi kazem da sam turista i stranac u narednih par sati i onda sve posmatram drugim ocima :) Neverovatno je sta sve tada zapazim, koje sve delove grada otkrijem i koliko su mi oni kojima svaki dan prolazim lepsi i drugaciji. Slike su predivne, nisam nikad bila u Mostaru i bas imam zelju da ga posetim. :)

    I really agree with you here, Ivana. We have no chance for travelling or taking a holiday for a long time, not as easy with a baby but we love exploring the place where we live. It was gorgeous day during the weekend, warm and so sunny and I managed to wear a sleeveless top for the first time in many months so yay to that!
    Hope you had a great Valentine's Day, Ivana! xx

    I agree with you Ivana, it is not necessary to go far away from your home to see and accept something new. Sometimes we must be resourceful and adjust to different situation! Nice photos and wonferful statement necklace!

    Totally agree with you, my fav words are: 'Human body was designed for motion and our eyes need their rest from the screens and the virtual world.'
    Only for walking I can do, but for photos I'm a little bit scared about peoples few accept to appear in the frame or their house. We need to be more then two for this activity.
    That river I thought is a frozen water, nice photos. xoxo

    Baš tako. Znaš da se potpuno slažem. Takođe ono što imamo svakodnevno, kao grad u kojem živimo, uzimamo zdravo za gotovo ili se vodimo time da će uvek biti tu i da ima vremena, a to vreme nikad ne dođe. Ja obožavam da budem turista uvek i svuda i za mene je to najvažnija sporedna stvar na svetu :)
    Divno izgledaš, jakna je tako lepa i ušuškana a opet damska. Ogrlica je kao šlag na torti ;)

    Aww this makes me feel better dear! I actually felt a little bad when I think about the fact that I can't travel somewhere else this summer (April,May) in our country. My new job requires me for a long stay and I just can't make my time any flexible for it. Love the idea here, must visit the unexplored places in my city first :) And yes, that lovely statement necklace of your's looks so great!!

    love lots,

    Baš si ovo lijepo napisala, svaka čast! :) Meni bude nevjerojatno koliko mjesta u Hr nisam posjetila a stalno kukam da bi negdje vani! Jedan period u životu sam bila zbog posla stalno na terenu i nema sela koja nisam posjetila u sjevernoj Hr i Zagorju... neke od najljepših uspomena i smiješnih anegdota su mi iz tog razdoblja! :)

    gosh, these pics are stunning. beautiful place with this river. but your clothings are also good looking. i like your coat and this (surely) warm poloneck. And i think your necklace is a "diy" from you, right?

    To be a tourist in your own city is so funny...;-) i am always a "tourist" if i take a walk in a park. i like this hours a lot - it´s so relaxing for me.

    To you feeling the same, if you walk alone on different places? Or you ever walk with your husband?

      yes, I always find walking relaxing. Sometimes I take a walk with my husband but sometimes I also go alone. Usually if I'm by myself, I don't go to the city but I prefer to go hiking on the hills near my house. I often go hiking there by myself....it makes me feel calmer and better.

      unfortunately i have no mountains near my hometown. i must drive with my car nearly 1 hour to be in higher mountain side. that´s why i go in parks - if i´m not going shopping...;-)

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.

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

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

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

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

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
