Another necklace I made (outfit post)/ Još jedna oglica koju sam napravila (odjevna kombinacija)

This outfit feels so right for me. It's all vintage, with the exception of accessories. However, the accessories themselves are mostly DIY and that makes it even more me. I wanted a new pair of sunglasses but as I'm somewhat financially challenged at the moment, I just painted my old sunglasses with pink nail polish. The pink DIY hair pin you already saw in previous posts....and what kind of outfit post would be without another DIY necklace of mine? 

All these photographs were taken last Thursday in a little Herzegovian village Medugorje that is visited by millions of people annually. This time there were many Italian groups and they seemed to have been celebrating something....or maybe they were  just in a good mood. In my next post, I'm taking you once again in the most featured (on my blog) ethno village (still under construction). 

Ova odjevna kombinacioja kao da je stvorena za mene. Sva odjeća je vintage, a modni dodaci su većinom mojih ruku djelo. Željela sam nove sunčane naočale, ali pošto sam malo financijski ograničena, samo sam obojala stare u rozo s lakom za nokte. Rozu ukosnicu ste već vidjeli u prijašnjim odjevnim kombinacijama...a kakva bi to bila odjevna objava bez ogrlice koju sam sama napravila? 

Sve su fotografije uslikane prošlog četvrtka u uvijek jako posjećenom Međugorju. Ovog puta bilo je puno talijanskih grupa turista i čini se da su nešto slavili...ili su možda jednostavno bili dobre volje. U sljedećoj objavi, vodim vas još jednom u etno selo koje je na mom  blogu najzastupljenije, a koje još nije završeno.


clothes: all vintage, heels: Peko, necklace: DIY, scarf: avon











very happy Italians in the background (I'm not sure what was the occasion but they seemed very enthusiastic about something)

    OMG that is such a great idea to paint your old sunglasses with nail polish. How long does the finish last on them after you paint them?

      I'm not sure, this is the first time I have dine it...I will let you know! I think this method works well for plastic frames and if they were as cheap as mine,there is nothing to be lost.

      The long mesh (cardi, coat, sweater- I'm not sure what to call it myself) is vintage, I got it from a relative...I think I would grab it myself if I saw it in a shop but I was fortunate to get it for nothing!

      This is a small village, not a city...but it is often so crowded it feels like a city.

    Such a great idea to re-paint your sunglasses! The pink is very nice on you too! I'd imagine you could update them a few times by changing the colour, very clever!

    I really like the combination of the printed scarf and top in this outfit too - nice shades of blue :)

    I can tell you love this outfit - and it shows. You look fantastic. DIY has the same effect on me too. And I really love how you painted your sunglasses with nail polish. I have been thinking of doing this to some glasses I don't wear much and you have provided me with great motivation. Somehow changing glasses around has felt taboo. Time to change that!

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
