true colours (outfit post) / prave boje (odjevna objava)

This beautiful mural is located in hospital Bijeli Brijeg in Mostar and it is a lovely sight to behold. I couldn't help noticing it  while waiting for my husband to come back from his head scan. After the scan, the two of us went for a stroll and took a lot of  photographs. If anyone wants to see photographs of lovely Mostar city, you have come to the right place today. My outfit is quite colourful, but I guess that won't be a surprise to anyone. I'm wearing one of my May's DIY projects...can you spot what it is? 

Ovaj prekrasni mural je smješten u bolnici Bijeli Brijeg u Mostaru i stvarno ga je lijepo vidjeti. Nisam ga mogla ne primijetiti dok sam čekala muža da se vrati s snimanja glave. Nakon snimanja, nas dvoje smo išli prošetati, a uslikali smo i puno fotografija pa tko želi vidjeti fotografije lijepog Mostara došao je na pravo mjesto. Moja odjevna kombinacija je poprilično šarena, ali mislim da to nikog neće iznenaditi. Nosim nešto što sama sama napravila ovog svibnja, možete li pogoditi o čemu se radi?

 the hospital's cafeteria has a funny name, it's called infusion.  People in Mostar are quite known for their sense of humour. 



 The verses you can see are written in an old glagolitic script and they are actually lyrics from a poem of one of my favourite Croatian poets.



kaputić  i suknja: vintage, torba: borsa, cipele: peko, šal: nije markiran, sunčane:DM

coat and skirt: vintage, bag: borsa, shoes: peko, sunnies: DM, scarf: no name

    That painting on the wall looks really splendid, I do love it. I was closely examining each detail of it, it's also quite remarkable that your favourite poem is written there:)
    I do like the way you look, but I have no idea which detail of the outfit is handmade. Probably, the bag, but I have already seen it here at your blog before. It's intriguing;) I also like that weightless,colorful neck-piece, what can be more feminine and chic!

    I love it when they make hospitals into artful places - I've been to a couple of Children's hospitals here, and they are nothing like what I experienced in my childhood - they are bright, beautiful inspired art around, fun playrooms for kids... They are places to get better. This mural is truly gorgeous!

    Love your colorful self, the skirt is so well fitted, the colors are bright and cheerful, and the scarf is fantastic! xxx

    You look tres chic, in your colourful and stylish outfit, Ivana! I agree with Natalia and think it is so important for hospitals to be cheerful and uplifting though they so often aren't. Children's hospitals here do it best. The art in your hospital is whimsical, which is great. We need the whimsical at all ages, I think. xoxo

    More hospitals should have lovely artwork like this as places like that need to be enlivened so people can be distracted by the circumstances for which they're there for in the first place. I hope everything went well with your husband's head scan and that he is ok. I had to get a head scan once and the sedatives I took made me so loopy that I forgot the whole experience which I guess wasn't really a bad thing.

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

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

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
