etno selo (prvi dio)/ ethno village (prvi dio)

As promised, today I'm taking you to my favourite ethno village in Herzegovina. I visited it many times (and took all of you on a virtual tour each and every time) and I'll surely be their first guest once the village is finally completed. I'm not sure when that will be because it has been under construction for years, but  I'm sure it will look fantastic once it is finally completed. Sometimes the wait is worth it...we'll see.

The outfit is the same as in the last post, but you can see the necklace better as there are some close ups. In addition, I got tired of carrying this lovely vintage bag in my hand so I found another way to use this scarf. In my next post, I will show you a few other ways to wear a scarf.....

Kao što sam obećala, danas vas vodim u svoje omiljeno etno selo u Herzegovini. Puno sam ga puta posjetila ( i vas sam uvijek vodila sa mnom) i sigurno ću biti njihov prvi gost kada bude gotovo. Nisam sigurna kada će to biti jer se već godinama gradi, ali sigurna sam da će sjajno izgledati kada bude završeno. Ponekad se isplati čekati....vidjeti ćemo.

Odjeća je ista kao i u prošloj objavi, ali možete vidjeti ogrlicu bolje jer ima par fotografija izbliza. Uz to, dosadilo mi je nositi ovu divnu vintage torbu u ruci pa sam pronašla još jedan način da iskoristim ovaj rubac, a u idućij objavi pokazati ću vam još neke načine za nositi rubac (maramu).....

    I ovdje ću ponoviti da super izgledaš i nadam se da će se ubrzo izgradnja sela dovršiti, a da se neće protegnuti kroz jedno deset godina.

      možda i bolje ovako, zasada još nema turista, pa mi je nekako uvijek tu mirno... dok je ono drugo etno selo Herceg (5 minuta hoda od ovog) stalno krcato i radi već godinama (kao što bi rekli u Mostar) ko država.

    A ja uživam prilikom svake "posete" ;) Deluje divno, a mogu misliti tek kada se završi. Sjajna je ideja sa maramom, uvek su mi se dopadale kao dodatak torbama ali nikako da se setim toga onda kada treba. Cela kombinacija je baš super, sviđa mi se taj kardigan, kako je dugačak a pomalo providan, a na slikama na kojima nosiš kapuljaču si prelepa. Uvek si, ali tu nekako posebno! :)

      it was recreated with the purpuse to be rented and also visited by tourists and locals...at least that is what happens at most eco/ethno villages I saw. I think it's great! I would love to spend a weekend in one such village.

    I hope that they will eventually finish the construction of the village, it would be a huge shame if they leave it incomplete. There's something very unique and mysterious about your outfit here, I think it's because the long, fishnet looking coat. But you look lovely as you always do, Ivana.

Your outfit deserves a special compliment as well:) I'm simply in love with this outfit which you've created, it's kind of ethnic too, so special and chic!
    p.s. Regarding your question about my hairstyle, let me answer. I achieve such result with common overnight elastic hair rollers. I don't know how to explain, so check it out, here is a picture of such rollers:

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

THE LUNCHEON & THE THREE FAT WOMEN OF ANTIBEST , TWO SHORT STORIES BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM (REVIEWS)

Image
Hello! In this post, I'll review two short stories by British author William Somerset Maugham. Both of these shorts stories are on the humorous side. One of these stories feels more serious than the other, but both are quite short, so they are a wonderful choice if you're short on time. As the titles The Luncheon and The Three Fat Women of Antibest imply , both of these short stories are about food, or perhaps better to say- about our relationship with food. As our human relationship with food is often marked by our human obsession with looks, one can examine food from a psychological point of view. That's what Maugham did in these stories.  I reviewed one of Maugham's humorous stories earlier this month. On second of November, I shared  my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper .  I enjoyed that story a great deal, and thought it was wonderfully humours. Although, most of that story happens during a conversation at a luncheon, it's...
