My creation (cat ears)/ Moja kreacija ( mačje uši)

Happiness is.... a soccer stadium that even a soccer hater must admire...

Happiness is....four thousand years old sphinx that is soaking Split's sunshine and resting her pretty heard from riddles and questions....for she is no hurry, she has felt at home here ever since, almost two thousand years ago, a Roman emperor named Diocletian put her there.....

Happiness is a city that is more than a city....a city that is opera and klapa, rock and serenades....the past and the future...happiness and sorrow....tourist hotspot and home to forty thousand unemployed.


Happiness is….concealed within the children that are jumping and playing on mosaics and monuments thousands of years old....and that is actually something beautiful, a sign that this city lives...a reminder that is has been successful in a very difficult task ....a reminder that it learned the very important secret of joining the past and the future.





Sreća je.... stadion kojem će i  mrziteljica nogometa uputiti zaljubljeni pogled. .....

 Sreća je....četiri tisuće godina stara sfinga koja se lješkari na splitskom suncu i odmara svoju lijepu glavicu od pitanja i zagonetki....nigdje joj se ne žuri i osjeća se sasvim kod kuće, još otkada ju je iz Egipta prije gotovo dvije tisuće godina donio rimski car Dioklecijan.

Sreća je grad koji je više od grada....grad koji je opera i klapa, rock i serenada....i prošlost i budućnost....sreća i tuga...turistička destinacija i dom četrdeset tisuća nezaposlenih....

 Sreća je u  skrivena u djeci koja skaču i igraju se po mozaicima i spomenicima starima tisuća godina....i to je zapravo nešto prekrasno, znak da ovaj grad živi ...podsjetnik da je uspio u onome što rijetko uspijeva bilo kojem gradu...podsjetnik da je naučio vrlo važnu tajnu povezivanja prošlosti i budućnosti.

    Baš mi je simpatična ova casual kombinacija i odlično ti stoji, kao i tvoja kreacija, ali ja samo gledam u te štikle i divim ti se haha.. Totalno sam ispala iz tog da nosim išta na petu zadnjih par godina, mislim da bih u ovima mogla stajati par sekundi i to jedino da me netko pridržava :D
    Mah, mah Splitu i tvom dragom fotografu :)

      ove su mi začudo jako udobne i cijeli sam Split prošetala u njima...tko bi rekao za neke nemarkirane čizmice koje su koštale pedeset kuna da mogu biti tako dobre? Ja sam na petu nekako naučila, sada mi je problem hodati u ravnim cipelama....ne možemo mi žene nikako na zelenu granu sa tim cipelama:)

    I love your cat ears and what I love even more about it is the fact that you made it by yourself (and you used rhinestones, which personally I adore in making every DIYs:P). Btw, you chose beautiful location, which conected the past and the present. Futhermore, when it comes to hapiness I totally agree with you, this feeling has huge impact on everything, especially on the city in which we are living :) Have a great evening, Ivana:)

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

Image
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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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

Image
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!

Image
 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
