Once a bookworm always a bookworm (outfit post) / Jednom knjiški crv uvijek knjiški crv (odjevna objava)

If I was a shoppingholic I would say : 'I was so happy when I bought this tote bag, I mean isn't this inscription so adorable?'. However, since I'm a DIYaholic, I must say: 'I was so happy when I hand painted this old tote bag. Isn't this incription I made so adorable?'. Hm, now that I think about it, there is a certain similiarity between a shopaholic and a DIYaholic. We're both passionate about things and we invest a certain amount of time in getting what we want. To each its own as they say, so far I prefer DIY, but there are certainly advantages to shopping, like not having to spend half a day cleaning your house after all your DIY projects. So you remember these sunglasses that I repainted recently? Well, there is another DIY element in the look and it is this lovely earring that I will talk more about  some other time.....

In the meantime, you can see this tote bag styled for the first time here. You can see one of my numerous 'let's paint on clothes' projects here.  Now, about the oufit....sorry, I'm not feeling it.  Let's talk about books instead. At the moment I'm reading Les Misérables. I can't believe I haven't read it before, because I've read most of the classics. I tell you, I'm so head over heels with this novel. I'm so glad I gave up on watching the recent movie version....I must have heard somewhere how it ends but it didn't stay in my head, so no spoilers please. Don't tell me how it ends! Please don't!



Kada bi bila ovisnica o kupnji, rekla bi kako sam jako sretna što sam kupila ovu tote torbu i zar nije natpis na njoj presladak, no pošto sam "uzdaj se u se i u svoje kljuse" tip žene, moram reći kako mi se jako sviđa ovaj stari cener na kojem sam sama napisala ovaj natpis i nacrtala ilustracije. Moram reći kada razmislim, doista postoje sličnosti između šopingholičarki i nas DIYholičarki. I jedne i druge ulažemo određen dio vremena i poprilično strasti u to da dobijemo ono što želimo. Sto ljudi, sto ćudi, kako kažu, meni je ovo zabavnije, ali postoje određene prednosti kupovine sigurna sam, kao npr. ne morati čistiti cijeli dan kuću nakon svih tih " mojih ruku djelo pod svaku cijenu" aktivnosti. Sjećate se ovih sunčanih koje sam nedavno prebojala...dobro, ali od zanimljivosti ima još jedna moja kreacija, a to je ova krasna naušnica o kojoj ću govoriti neki drugi put....

U međuvremenu, evo poveznica za objavu u kojoj sam nosila ovaj ceker prvi put. Još jedna poveznica  na jednu od sto mojih objava o slikanju na odjeću, otiđite ako želite vidjeti koju sam tekstilnu boju koristila. Sada što se tiče odjevne kombinacije....e nešto mi se ne da, već se tekst odužio pa za kraj samo da vam kažem da trenutno čitam Jadnike i da sam oduševljenja. Baš čudno da je nisam prije pročitala i znam da sam na nekom predavanju sigurno raspravljala o njoj, ali sad se ne mogu sjetiti kraja, a i ne želim. Filmsku verziju sam prestala gledati nakon petnaest minuta i sad mi je baš drago.... Nemojte mi otkriti kraj!





Painting On Clothes and Accessories With Textile Paints: The Pros And The Cons  a

The pros of this DIY project are pretty obvious. 

When you paint on clothes (or/and accessories) you end up with a personalized item. 

Now, who wouldn't want that?

 What are the cons?

 Well, one of the downsides of painting with fabric/textile paints is that  you might not be happy with the result. 

...and it might be difficult to take it back.

This DIY project can actually turn out less  then satisfactory. 

I know, this might sound odd coming from someone who is always cheering for DIY projects and writing about them, but I'm also all for honesty. 

I don't regret painting a single clothing item or accessory but before you do it yourself, ask yourself will you regret it? 

Obviously, there is always a choice that a DIY project will not end up well. 






How to paint with textile (fabric) paints? Well, as I have explained many times, the process is fairly simple and it doesn't really matter on what you're painting on: a dress, a pair of jeans or a textile tote bag. 

There are basically two ways to paint on clothes (or bags and etc.), depending on whether  you want to paint a design/pattern/whatever by yourself or whether you want to copy a design (if you don't enjoy painting or if you don't think you're good at it). 

So, if you don't know how to paint, you can still do it by using the second method (copying some design). There are different kinds of fabric paints available on the market, I tried quite a few and as far as I can tell, they don't differ much in quality. So, if you want to give this DIY (i.e. painting on clothes) a try, buy some textile paints and get started.

 The only thing you should be careful about is placing something under the textile you're painting on, just to make sure that the paint doesn't end up everywhere. 







I'm no stranger to colour and pattern, it's something I've always enjoyed, it's a part of my style, so when I do DIY projects connected with fashion, it is only natural that this 'love for colourfulness' translated to my fashion style as well. 

If you sense of style is more minimal and classical, you'll probably have to think for a bit, to figure out about how this project of DIY painting of clothes can work for you.

 If you're not too keen on colour, you might want to use only black and white textile paints. Similarly, if you're not into bold designs and print, keep your 'painting' minimal.

      ja sam čak bila kupila izdanje na francuskom, naravno ne s namjerom da ga pročitam jer znam da francuski neću naučiti u skoroj budućnosti, nego jer mi se jako svidjelo...ispalo je da sam knjigu poklonila nekome tko zna francuski, tako da je sve super ispalo.

    The tote bag is adorable, but what I love best here is this amazing dark green dress, this color suits you so much and I love how you tied it with that belt and made it much more alluring with the scarf!
    Les Miserables is one of my favorites, the musical movie sucks soooo much though, I couldn't watch it despite the fact that Hugh Jackman stars there! Tisk tisk....

    I love your look today! Such an elegant dress, a corset type belt, an earring (hope to have a closer look at it in your other posts) and a scarf, even sunglasses - all these things together create a stunning image.
    This is interesting, I have read other books by Victor Hugo but not Les Miserables. Seen the movie but I know it is not the same as to read the book.

    i think you know, that i love your green dress. and now i see you for the first time wearing a belt on this. but i think that this belt is very unique and it looks for me, that this thing has a little bit of an hard-look/domina-style. in my opinion it´s not the right place and outfit to wear a belt like this. it reminds me all the time on a (domina) belt like this one: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjgzWDEwMjQ=/z/DZMAAOSwfcVULG3D/$_72.JPG

    ok this thing is red, but i think you know what i mean.

    a belt like this one http://g.nordstromimage.com/ImageGallery/store/product/Large/1/_5743161.jpg - just in white - would look great on this.

    your thoughts?

    my husband bought me this belt, so it is his taste:)..but I think with this dress, this belt is ok. If it was some other dress ( a shorter one) than I think it would be too much. This way it seems like an ordinary outfit.

    I do like that second belt, the one you suggested in your link. This belt is perfect!

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 ...

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.

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...
