another DIY necklace / još jedna ogrlica koju sam napravila

I'm back in Mostar and happy to say that the weather improved significantly. I did end up with a cold as a result of the sudden weather changes, but I'm not complaining because it was my own choice to spend entire days outdoors facing the freezing wind. Besides, I quite enjoyed it (photographs of windy Split coming up soon).  Now, about the outfit. I wore this yesterday when we stopped for coffee after grocery shopping and right before my favourite part of day- preparing lunch. Ok, I admit maybe eating lunch is my favourite but I do like cooking as well. This vintage skirt I often wear with this jacket, it seems the right thing to do, being high waist and all that. The bag is a treasured gift and the boots are from Peko. Last but not the least, a necklace that I made myself last Spring. To create this necklace, I handsewn these beads (plastic imitation crystals) onto recycled faux leather.

Vratila sam se u Mostar i drago mi je reći da se vrijeme znatno popravilo. Istina, malo sam se prehladila zbog svih ovih vremenskih promjena, ali neću se žaliti jer je bio moj vlastiti izbor biti po cijele dane vani na burnje vrijeme i baš sam uživala u tome (uskoro stižu slike splitske bure). Sada, što se tiče odjevne kombinacije. Nosila sam ovo jučer kada smo pili kavu nakon odlaska u spizu (tj. u dućan) i neposredno prije mog najdražeg dijela dana- kuhanja ručka. Dobro, možda mi je jedenje ručka ipak najdraže, ali volim i kuhati. Što se tiče kombinacije, ima tu posebnih komada. Ovu suknju  obično nosim s ovom jaknom, čini mi se kao ispravan izbor, jer tako dolazi do izražaja visoki struk. Torba je dragi poklon, a čizme su iz Peka. Ogrlicu sam sama napravila prošlog proljeća tako što sam ušila ove plastične imitacije  kristala na recikliranu umjetnu kožu.

    these are fantastic photos, but my fav is the last one. gosh, you look so beautiful in this outfit. i think i see your boots from one of your last posts here - this skirt is the right combo to this shoes. i like this a lot!!! colourwise is this a perfect match.

    but i think you "missed" a belt - i think that would look great on this skirt/shirt combo. And yes, i see another great diy necklace on you - you had really a talent for this!!!

    Bye.

      you mean a belt on the skirt or over the jacket. I think that a belt worn on a skirt would look nice but not if I would wear it over this jacket.

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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Image
Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Image
Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

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
