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! :)

    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 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
