transitional outfit/ kombinacija za vrijeme između

Do know that weather when it is too cold to wear just a sweater but it is too warm to wear a jacket? What do you do when days are warm and sunny but windy? What is the solution to this wardrobe problem? Well, an oversize scarf is a lovely solution. Speaking of which, I have a secret to share with you. This oversize blue tartan scarf is actually a tablecloth. Its cost was equal to two cups of coffee  yet I've been wearing it non stop since I bought two years ago (if I remember correctly). It is soft and warm...and really isn't it all in our head? Sometimes we are prepared to spend a lot of money on something just because it is trendy or advertised frequently and we may very well have a very similar or exactly the same item in our closet. Sometimes there is no difference between a tablecloth, oversize scarf, pareo or whatever. Things are, more often than not, what they make them to be. For those interested, the locations for shooting were city park and Spanish square in Mostar. The close up were shot in front of my home. I'm wearing a necklace I made myself, a new Mana sweater and an old floral dress and Šimecki boots. You know I'm not particulary crazy about bags, but I really like this new dark caramel one. What do you think about this outfit?

Znate ono vrijeme kada  je prehladno za samo džemper, a opet pretoplo za jaknu? Što činite kada su dani topli i sunčani, ali vjetroviti? Što je rješenje za ovaj problem s odijevanjem? Mislim da je veliki šal dobro rješenje. Govoreći o njemu, moram vam nešto priznati. Ovaj veliki plavi karirani šal je zapravo stolnjak. Koštao me je kao dvije kave, a nosila sam ga stalno otkada sam ga kupila prije dvije godine (ukoliko se dobro sjećam). Mekan je i topao...i zar nije to zaista samo u našoj glavi? Ponekad smo spremni potrošiti puno novaca na nešto samo jer je trenutno popularno ili  se često reklamira, a zapravo imamo to (ili nešto skoro isto) kući u ormaru. Ponekad nema razlike između stolnjaka, velikog šala ili parea. Stvari su, često, ono što od njih napravimo. Za one koje zanima, mjesto snimanja je gradski park i Španjolski trg u Mostar, a slike izbliza su slikane ispred moje kuće. Nosim ogrlicu koju sam sama napravila, novi Mana džemper, staru cvjetnu  haljinicu i Šimecki čizme.  Znate da nisam posebno luda za torbama, ali mi se doista sviđa ova nova boje tamne karamele. Kako vam se sviđa ova kombinacija?

    Omg that is a great idea darling. It's so beautiful and I would totally wear it like a scarf too. Pretty color. I know what you mean though, you add layers cos you think it's cold and then you take them off cos it's not quite cold enough. For this reason I don't like in between seasons but a scarf goes a long way at times like this. You look stunning!!

    Dear Ivana, you made me smile and I must tell you, this is definitely the most stylish tablecloth I saw ever :) But you are so right: everything is in my mind and why not to use the things in this way how we like it! The result you reached with your outfit is lovely for the eyes and you look again very beautiful. And although I know you are not that bag fan, the new one you show here is beautiful and perfect for fall. Also the location you have chosen in Mostar is impressing and I see that fall comes now also to your region. Hopefully you had a good weekend so far!

Toliko je sve divno da nemam reči. Savršen spoj različitih printova i boja, baš pravo rešenje za te ni hladne, ni tople dane, a i lokacije su izuzetne i tako fotogenične :)

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

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

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
