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

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!

 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
