Close to the edge/ Blizu ruba

Don't worry. I have no intention of jumping in. It is just that I've always been attracted to cliffs and chasms. Perhaps I had been a poet of romanticism in my past life. This could be called a 'blogger off duty' outfit. It is what I wear when I go hiking when I have enough sense to wear something appropriate for that activity (which is not always the case, I've been known to go hiking in skirts, and boots with high heels). Love for fashion and clothes is so much more than a simple dressing up. It is what makes us always want to try new things. It is what makes us wear clothes that might not even look flattering on us but that make us happy. In its pure form, love for clothes and fashion is a form of creativity. I'm sure my blogger friends realize that as well. Any real love has its dept, so there is really nothing superficial about love for clothes.

Ne brinite se. Nemam nikakvu namjeru baciti se unutra. Radi se samo o me da su me uvijek privlačile litice. Možda sam u prošlom životu bila pjesnik romantizma. Ova kombinacija bi se mogla smatrati onim što nosim "kada nisam na dužnosti". To obučem kada sam dovoljno prisebna za nositi nešto prikladno za šetnju i pješačenje prirodom (što nije uvijek slučaj, znala sam ići pješačiti u suknjama i čizmama s visokom petom).  Ljubav prema modi i odjeći je puno više od jednostavnog dotjerivanja. To je nešto što nas navodi da isprobamo nove stvari. To je nešto što nas tjera da nosimo odjeću koja nam možda i ne pristaje, ali koja nas čini sretnima. U svojom čistom obliku, ljubav prema odjeći i modi je oblik kreativnosti. Sigurna sam da to moje kolege i kolegice blogeri shvaćaju. Svaka prava ljubav ima svoju dubinu, pa zapravo nema ništa površno u ljubavi prema odjeći.

Speaking of clothes, there is one new clothing item in my closet and that is this turtleneck sweater. When it comes to shopping, I shop at the speed of a very slow turtle that is I buy only a few items every year. Getting free clothes made me shop even less often. Anyway, recently, I've been to Mana and bought a few sweaters on a discount from an old collection. I may have written on my blog that it is a Croatian brand, but really it is not. It is an international brand as I learned when I did some research. I started frequenting it more often since my mother managed to find jeans there....that is a real feat for her since she is a very tall and slender woman and she always struggles with finding the right jeans or pants for her. Here is the link to their Croatian site but I can't put the link to the item because it is from an old collection. I'm not sure should I even put links when that is the case. If you're going to shop there, keep in mind that the sizes are larger than we're used on here.

Govoreći o odjeći, ima jedan novi odjevni komad u mom ormaru, a to je ova debela dolčevita. Kada je kupovina u pitanju, brza sam kao kornjača, a dobivanje besplatne odjeće me učinilo još manje produktivnom u tom smislu. Kakogod, nedavno sam svratila do Mane i kupila sam par džempera na popustu iz stare kolekcije. Možda sam na blogu napisala da je to hrvatska marka, ali zapravo nije, kako sam shvatila kada sam provjerila, to je izgleda međunarodna marka. Počela sam tamo ići češće kada je moja majka uspjela za sebe pronaći tamo traperice, što je pravi pothvat jer je vrlo visoka i vitka, pa joj je teško pronaći traperice ili hlače za sebe. Evo poveznice to hrvatske verzije stranice, ali ne mogu staviti link do dolčevite jer je iz stare kolekcija. Nisam sigurna bi li trebala uopće stavljati poveznice u tom slučaju, ali eto ako nekog zanima i imajte na umu da su veličine veće nego što smo mi ovdje navikli.

 

The fact that I like to make my own autumn decorations  will probably come as no surpise to readers of my blog. One of the ways to make one own autumn decorations is simply by collecting dry flowers and leaves. Have you ever tried doing that? Would you like to see how I do it? I admit I'm asking just to seem polite, whereas I already have a post prepared.

Činjenica da sama volim raditi jesenje dekoracije vjerojatno neće iznenaditi mja čitatelje. Jedan od načina za pravljenje istih je jednostavno skupljanje suhog cvijeća i lišća. Jeste li to ikad pokušali činiti? Želite li vidjeti kako ja to činim? Priznajem, pitam vas to samo iz pristojnosti, a u biti već imam objavu spremnu.
