Heart shaped necklace (outfit post)/ Ogrlica u obliku srca (odjevna kombinacija)

It's finally time for you to see how I styled this DIY heart necklace ( I know I promised it two weeks ago but I had some technical problems). You can find the tutorial about the making of this environmentally friendly necklace here. For those interested in that kind of information, the photographs for this post were taken in Mostar, about two weeks ago. The weather is this extremely warm, but fortunately Mostar has a lot of shade (where one can seek when the sun becomes too strong.)

One of advantages to blogging is the possibility of making interesting friends. My blog allowed me to make friends with this adorable duck family in Mostar. They will be featured in this post so you can get to meet them if you already haven't met them. They are so adorable that I will gladly forgive them the stealing of the spotlight;) If you look closely you can see them even in my close ups.

Vrijeme je da konačno vidite kako sam nosila ovu srcoliku ogrlicu koju sam sama napravila (znam da sam to davno obećala, ali postojali su tehnički problemi). Možete pročitati kako napraviti ovu ekološku ogrlicu ovdje. Fotografije za ovu objavu uslikane su otprilike prije dva tjedna u Mostaru (za one koje to zanima). Vrijeme je i dalje veoma toplo, ali srećom u Mostaru ima puno hlada u koji se može pobjeći kada sunce postane prejako.

Blog može poslužiti jako lijepo i za sklapanje prijateljstva, a u Mostaru mi je omogućio da se sprijateljim s ovim preslatkom pačjom obitelji. Biti će dio ove objave, tako da ih možete upoznati ako već niste. Tako su preslatki da ću im rado oprostiti što uvijek budu u centru pažnje.;) Pogledate li pažljivo, možete ih vidjeti čak i na onim mojim fotografijama izbliza.

    What a beautiufl place, all those historical buildings. Our local ducks insist on waddling about the town centre instead of the park, it's very odd to see them outside shops. x

    It was brilliant to pair the necklace with a simple black dress, Ivana, it stands up a lot and definitely give a sexy edge to the whole look. I think this is the first time I see you with a long dress such as this and I must say you look so pretty! You have a great height and long dress just look lovely on you!

    Hi Ivana, Now I understand why you said you could not bring yourself to eat ducks. When you see them alive and kicking, they are just so cute. I'm pretty torn at times when I look at animals and yet love meat. As for your DIY necklace, I don't know if I'm interpreting correctly or it's just some loose threads from the picture. It looks like a mended broken heart with some bits of flaws here and there and that's what makes the heart so beautiful because a heart could never be perfect but it could be beautiful because of the many healed wounds on it. Ok maybe I'm being a little philosophical here. In your previous post, you look totally like your beautiful self without make up.

    RYC:
    Ivana, Thank you for your lovely words. Your comments always make me smile. I'm not surprised that you've heard of the MBS Infinity pool. It has a life on its own! I've to admit that the sunset photo has got some tweaking done. The original photo didn't look as good as what my eyes saw so I tried to edit till what I saw. I literally lol at the part when you talked about how your hubby takes your photos! Sounds like mine at times! I see so many beautiful outfit shots on your blog so I'm sure your hubz is good in his ways. You're good typing your comment on the phone! I could never leave a blog comment on the phone. Something would sure screw up after I typed an essay.

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

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
