Kravice (part 2) / Kravice (drugi dio)


















Sometimes in life you do everything right, but it all falls to pieces and sometimes you make the most stupid mistake yet you manage to get away with it. No telling what tomorrow is bringing and it makes us forever hopeful and forever anxious. We hate to admit it, but things are often out of our control. Sometimes we just need to take a moment and laugh at it all, laught at the irony of life and the inevitable failures...laugh at the pain, the disappointments and the cruelty. Without a sense of humour ,that is to be honest quite dark at times, I don't know where I would be. My ability to laugh at everything, myself included, is what gets me trough the worst days.

Ponekad u životu učinite sve kako treba, ali sve krene naopako, a ponekad napravite najgluplju moguću pogrješku i  nikom ništa. Nema načina da se sazna što će se dogoditi sutra, a to nas čini ujedno punima nade i brige. Mrzimo to priznati, ali stvari često nisu pod našom kontrolom. Ponekad jednostavno moramo zastati i smijati se svemu, smijati se ironiji života i neizbježnim porazima...smijati se boli, razočarenjima i okrutnosti. Bez smisla za humor, koji je budimo iskreni često dosta crn, ne znam gdje bi bila. Moja sposobnost da se smijem svemu, pa i sebi, je ono što me nosi i kroz najgore dane.

    Totally agree with you sweetie. Sometimes all we can do is laugh and keep on moving wishing better days to come. Positive attitude is half way for things to get better. Talking about the outfit you look gorgeous. Love the scarf on your hair looks amazing.

    Lovely to see your beautiful face in close-up. That teal coloured eye shadow is absolutely stunning with your fabulous raven locks.
    Great advice, we can't control many things in life and it's far better to accept this and treat the situation with humour if we can than beat ourselves up and constantly worry. xxx

    Marama u kosi mi je odlična i super ti stoji a kombinacija boja divno pristaje uz sako. Slične boje a različiti uzorak mi se baš sviđa! Vrlo chick kombinacija u svakom smislu! Velika pusa!

    Well, hello prettiness:) You look extremely beautiful and attractive on those snapshots, Ivana! I can't sto telling how I love this checkered jacket, it's color and the way it fits you:) The outfit turned out spruce, chic and cosy at the same time, which is great. I can't but mentioned the area, this wonderful, captivating nature around you. I always like seeing the beauty of your land here at your blog.
    Things are often out of our control, that's so true. Everything what is going on in our life is a lesson, if we don't take in a lecture then we shall face it again and again, till we won't learn it by heart. Sometimes we just have to take it easy and laugh at ourselves, though:)

    Wise words about recognising the things that are out of our own control and also responding with humour when we can.
    And it seems to me that you're also demonstrating here, 'respond to whatever is going on around you by looking damn fabulous'! Great photos, especially the ones with the water behind.

    Oh gosh, I totally understand what you mean, Ivana. Sometimes life just doesn't turn out the way we plan it to be, it just go the opposite direction. I do love your outlook in life, doesn't take yourself to seriously and the ability of laugh it off and brush yourself up is amazing. You're a strong and wise woman.

    Wise words! It's so weird how life goes sometimes, isn't it? You think you're doing the right thing, and everything turns into sh*t. I guess that's life's way of telling us to live more and think less. Anyways, you look absolutely stunning in that jacket. Green looks great on you, and I adore the playful headband...it's so cute :)

    Oh, dear Ivana, it is wonderful that you are able to laugh - always! Your laugh is beautiful and I like the look including the makeup you wear hear. And I agree to each of your words - and we really never should forget that most of the things (or all?) are out of our control. Wish you nevertheless you won't feel the cruelty of life too often as you deserve only the best. Happy weekend!

    I missed a couple of your posts and was scrolling through. All I had in my mind was that I really envy you for having so many amazing natural places to go visit and take beautiful pictures with! You look totally cute with the usamimi headband. How right you are about how sometimes doing things so perfectly but everything falls and doing stupid things but getting away are incidences that happen. And yes, laugh at yourself and all the bad things that happen will certainly take negativism away!

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!

 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
