How to wear a summer dress in Autumn? Kako nositi ljetnu haljinu u jesen?


The first thing I really took notice of in Mostar city, back in the day, when I arrived to study here, were these trees. I'm still fascinated by them. If you want to know the story about them, you can read it one of my old blog posts (here.)

Kada sam stigla u Mostar na studij , prva stvar koja mi je zaista upala u oči bila su ova stabla. Još uvijek me oduševljavaju. Želite li znati njihovu priču, možete je pročitati u jednoj od mojih starijih objava (ovdje.)

I'm quite satisfied with the fact that I managed to style this cherry dress (here) for Autumn. Isn't it great when we manage to transfer a summer clothing item into our wardrobe for other seasons? I often see it as a fun challange. So, my answer to the question 'how to wear a summer dress in Autumn?' would be, 'wear a blazer over it, add a folklore bag and put on biker boots'. That way you will be embracing the folklore trend. In addition, biker boots make everything look cool.

Poprilično sam zadovoljna s činjenicom da sam uspjela stilizirati ovu haljinu na trešnje (ovdje) i ove jeseni. Zar nije odličan osjećaj kada uspijemo prebaciti neki ljetni odjevni komad  u našu garderobu za druga godišnja doba? Meni je to često zabavan izazov. Moj odgovor na pitanje, "kako nositi ljetnu haljinu u jesen" , bio bi : "nosite sako preko, dodajte folklornu torbu i obujte motorističke čizme. Na taj način ćete prihvatiti folklorni trend, a uz bajkerske čizme sve bolje izgleda.

    Your dress is so cute and you look so adorable and feminine, dear Ivana! I love the pretty pattern of the dress and the way you paired it with the pink blazer!

    Ivana, my dear, I gave you a special nomination for the "Liebster Award". Please have a look at my recent post. I was to lazy to translate my post, so you do´nt have to do anything if you do not like. I just wanted to show you my appreciation ;-)

    Have a lovely weekend,

    Znaš koliko mi se dopada ta haljinica, a činjenica da može da se nosi i jesen jerdodatni plus. Još si uklopila ražličite stilove u jednoj kombinaciji a to nije uvek lako. Baš je pun pogodak i ovakva topla jesen je zapravo idealna za slojevito i maštovito oblačenje :) Lokacija je takođe divna <3

    Lijepo odijelo! Haljina je vrlo lijep i torba također. Što je ruka posao? Kad sam bila dijete, moj otac kupio sličan torbu za mene na odmoru u Hrvatsku, koji je tkani. Imate također tkani svoj torba?

      hvala. Ručni rad znači kada se nešto radi ručno, a ne tvornički...ne mora nužno značiti da se radilo isključivo rukom već da je osoba, a ne stroj napravila glavninu posla. Ova torba je tkana, napravila ju je i meni poklonila moja pokojna baka. Ovakav tip folklorne torbe jako je čest u hrvatskim nošnjama. Morala bih provjeriti koje sve nošnje imaju ovaj tip torbe, ali puno ljudi iz različitih dijelova Hrvatske i BIH mi je reklo da je baš takva torba dio njihove nošnje.

    I really like your idea how to wear summer dress on the autumnal period, becauce adding blazer in vivid and bright color makes your dress just perfect for beautifull and sunny day on the Fall, dear Ivana ;) Personally I also wearing clothes, which are more suitable for the summer on the colder month, because they still look good with combo with cozy sweater or jacket :) Have a great evening, Ivana :)

    I like layering my dresses and trying to wear them year-round as much as possible. I guess it's easy to do here as it doesn't snow or anything, it's quite warm in Queensland. Even if it feels cold to me!

    I like the red blazer with the red print on the dress :)

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

 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.

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

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
