Nature is my inspiration...... / Priroda je moje nadahnuće..

I posted about this place before, but I haven't provided you with the name of this restorant (and motel). No reason to keep it a secret,  motel restoran Kolo it is and here is a link to their official site in case you're interested. I can't comment on the accomodation because I have yet to spend the night there, but the food in the restaurant is exceptional. Remind me to ask for free coffee next time I'm there, on account of free commercial and all that. In all seriousness, this spot never ceases to amaze me. River Buna is pure magic, it should be featured in one of those fancy wildlife and nature documentaries, but until that happens, feel free to rely on me. You know I always love to share beautiful places with you. Another thing I'm happy about  is joing Kezzie in tardis blue link up.

Već sam posvetila nekoliko objava ovom mjestu, ali nisam napisala koje je ime ovog restorana (i motela). Nije to nikakva tajna, zove se restoran motel Kolo i evo poveznice do njihove službene stranice ukoliko vas zanima. Ne mogu komentirati smještaj zato jer nisam tamo noćila, ali hrana u restoranu je izvrsna. Podsjetite me da pitam besplatnu kavu idući put kada odem tamo, ono zbog besplatne preporuke i tako to. No, sada ozbiljno, ovo me mjesto uvijek oduševi. Rijeka Buna je čista čarolija, trebala bi biti zvijezda jednog od onih krasnih dokumentaraca o prirodi i životinjama, no dok se to ne dogodi, slobodno se oslonite na mene. Znate da uvijek volim dijeliti lijepa mjesta s vama. Još jedna stvar koja me veseli je to što ću se pridružiti Kezzie  u povezivanju blogova na temu tardis plave.

    I love the TARDIS blue! Yay, thank you for linking up! The dress is pretty and the tights are so unusual and cool!!! Plus, amazing seed necklace,clever you! My Mum dried some rowan berries and strung them onto a necklace the other day and they look really good too!
    The river is beautiful- it reminds me of the place we walked to on the Cetina gorge!!x

    Hello, dear Ivana, and please keep on doing so, because I love when you share beautiful places! I would love to know river Buna and the restaurant seems to be excellent, as you said! Kolo is a good recommendation, so I would go because I trust your opinion! our necklace is great, as everything you make, and I loved the blue dress and these tights!!!! You really look beautiful! Hugs and kisses!

    Da, veoma je lepo mesto, baš je za relaksaciju, ali meni su pažnju privukle tvoje čarape, definitivno. Veoma mi se dopadaju.
    Što se tvoje kreacije tiče, podsetila si me na one teške devedesete, kad samo ja i moja sestra pravile ogrlice od kuglica lipe i ljuski pistaća. Veoma lepo su izgledale, neobično, baš kao i ova tvoja kreacija.

    kad vratim film unazad, tek sad sam svesna svoje rezličitosti u odnosu na okolinu. Eto, tad smo to pravile, jer nam je to bio jedini dostupan materijal, a sam hand made nije bio uopšte popularan, što znači da nije biklo ni materijala ni informacija, niti bilo čega drugog što bi moglo da podstakne nečiji razvoj u tom pravcu.

    Volim vodu, ona me uvek opušta i umiruje, a pala mi je na pamet i jedna dečja pesmica koja se zove "Koje je boje potok", a govori o tome kako smo svi različiti i različito vidimo jednu istu stvar. Ako te zanima, pročitaj je, meni se, bar, dopada.

      hvala ti puno....i ja sam ovu ogrlicu napravila prije dosta vremena, na Hvaru kada nisam imala drugih materijala pri ruci...sjećam se i ja kada ručne stvari nisu bile zanimljive i kada je najveći kompliment bio reći da nešto izgleda tvornički, a sada je sve tvornički pa je ljudima ručni rad zanimljiv...doduše ne dovoljno da ga kupuju nažalost.

      Pjesma zanimljivo zvuči, pročitati ću je.

      Moćna je, zar ne? Ako se malo više udubimo u dečju poeziju, shvatimo da je jako sadržajna i da baš ima suštinu. I koliko je teško, ustvari, pisati za decu, koliku to odgovornost nosi.

    4. Ivana Split7 October 2015 at 10:40

      potpuno se slažem, svi odlični dječji pisci posjeduju tu dubinu, volimo ih kao djeca, a razumijemo ih na novoj razini kao odrasli...pisati za djecu je doista velika odgovornost....mene je na puno načina oblikovala Ivana Brlić Mažuranić...baš ta djela koja čitamo kao djeca ostaju zauvijek s nama....njen utjecaj na moju maštu je golem, a i Tolkien je imao znatnu ulogu. Gospodara prstenova sam čitala puno prije nego što je bio popularan, kada mi je bilo samo deset godina.

    Meni nema do plavo-žute kombinacije i za to odmah imaš veliki prstić gore od mene :) Inače imam hrpu sakoića i nikad mi ih nije dosta, tako lijepo se slažu i s ovakvim haljinicama i petama kao i trapericama i tenisicama. Uživala sam u ovim osunčanim slikama, tim više što je ovdje danas bilo tako tmurno i evo sad se pljusak spustio. Al sad nek i pada, jer ne moram više nigdje ići, samo odmor i uživancija sve do ponedjeljka, a isto želim i tebi!

    It's such a picturesque spot and getting to watch the ducks must be fun as well. You blue dress is really nice but of course your DIY necklace caught my eye again. It's so fun and well designed.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the story about the body glitter but it was provided by IFB and not mine. I have worked with male models and have some funny stories That I should share sometime. And for the record, I would never dye my hair blonde either cause I'm quite sure it would look awful ;p

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. 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. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
