Ljubuški ( part one/ prvi dio)

Today I visited Ljubuški, a little city located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, only a short distance from the boarder with Croatia. I was there to dine with my photographer (i.e. my husband) at restaurant Most , which I can honestly recommend to anyone.  Another thing I can recommend (once you come out of the restaurant) is crossing the street and going for a stroll on this lovely path right next to river. Pedestrian or cyclist, you're going to enjoy talking a stroll with a view of Trebizan river. 

outfit details
I wore a vintage shirt ( inherited from my aunt) and a skirt from Bellissima. I just adore this little leaher bag,  a gift from a friend, bought at second hand shop (if I remember well). These sandals with high heels (from Peko) are the most comfortable shoes ever and I'm thrilled it's warm enough for them to grace my feet. 

Danas sam posjetila Ljubuški jer je moj fotograf (a ujedno i muž:) želio ručati u restoranu Most (za lokalce poznatiji kao kod Bage) koji je stvarno odličan i mogu ga mirne duše svakom preporučiti. Nakon što se lijepo najedete u restoranu, preporučavam i   prelaženje ceste i šetnjicu uz rijeku Trebižat. Bikilisti i pjesaci će, sigurna sam, jednako uživati u šetnjici s pogledom na Trebižat rijeku.

odjevna kombinacija
Nosila sam vintage košulju  (tetino nasljedstvo) i suknju iz Bellissime. Obožavam ovu malu kožnu torbicu koju mi je poklonila prijateljica ( a kupila ju je ako se dobro sjećam u nekom second handu). Sandale s visokom petom iz Peka su najudobnije cipele ikada i tako sam sretna što je konačno dovoljno toplo da bi ih mogla nositi.

    Dear Ivana, thank you for the description :) Obviously this is a really beautiful place and how wonderful that you had also such a delicious meal! I like your mix with the blouse you inherited from your aunt and the elegant maxi skirt!

    It's great that you're always out discovering and visiting different places and I love seeing and learning about them through your blog. You look absolutely lovely, Ivana. The skirt is really pretty and I respect your husband having the patience to be your photographer. Mine rolled his eyes so many times when I asked him to. LOL!

    That's an unbelievably cute outfit you've got on there. That shirt is SO nice esp paired with such a fun unusual skirt! The view is beautiful on that walk, there are some Amazing places in B H and Croatia. By the way, you should totally look at clouds! So much fun.That Pacman cloud picture was taken in the Cetina Gorge near Split!

    I like the name of this town. Sounds very beautiful (does the name have something to do with love?). And you look beautiful too. So pretty shirt, love its colour and print. And that red detail on the skirt? Just awesome!

      yes, I do believe that the name of the city has something to do with love....somewhere online I found that the name of the city originates from king Herzeg's wife, that is from her name...the prefix Ljub- (meaning love), was often used to form old Slavic names.

    What a STUNNING outfit! Love the vintage vibe! The blouse is such a beauty, and you paired it so well with this skirt and shoes. I bet you turned many heads in the restaurant that day!

    Seems like a lovely walk along the riverbank, I will have to read your recommendations once I visit your place... some day! It's wonderful to see your photographer/husband, you make such a handsome couple!

    Thank you sooooo much, Ivana, for your thoughtful, warm comments, you really touched me deeply. You are a kind and insightful person, and I really appreciate those qualities in people. I so agree with you - there are so many intelligent, inspiring and very kind women in our part of Bloglandia, and it's magical. xxxxx

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.

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

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

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
