Another transitional outfit....još jedna prijelazna kombinacija......

We have another transitional outfit on blog again. What to wear when it is sunny but also a bit windy?  My answer is always layering. Spring is an ideal time to give all your blazers a chance to get out of your closet. Materials are something to keep in mind as well. For example, this skirt I'm wearing ( a mix of wool and silk) is a very comfortable choice for Spring. I'm wearing an outfit that is a mix of vintage pieces and clothing items I have had for a while (in other words nothing new). You know that I like to 'shop my closet'.  I just love this mini leather bag my friend got me for my birthday (it's a second hand vintage leather bag but it looks brand new). If you're against wearing leather (for whatever reason), consider buying vintage or second hand leather items. We all know that buying second hand clothes and items is good for enviroment. Now, about the location, we're still in Mostar. I realized that I totally forgot to show you Mostar's city cathedral. To make for it, today I'm sharing a lot of photographs of it. Its official name is Cathedral of Mary, Queen of the Sky and Mother of Church. Mostar's city cathedral was build in the eighties and it is located in vicinity of Bishop's residence (that you can see on these photographs as well. In fact, the bishop's residence comes first in order of photographs). That's all for today! Enjoy your weekend!

Evo još jedne prijelazne odjevne kombinacije. Što nositi kada je sunčano, ali i malo vjetrovito? Moj odgovor je uvijek slojevito odijevanje. Proljeće je idealno vrijeme za dati priliku sakoima da izađu iz ormara. Materijali su nešto na što također nastojim obratiti pažnju. Ova suknja koju nosim (mješavine svile i vune) je jako udoban izbor za proljeće. Nosim kombinaciju koja je mješavina vintage komade i stvari koje imam već neko vrijeme (drugim riječima ništa novo). Znate da volim 'kupovati u svom ormaru'. Obožavam ovu kožnu torbicu koju mi je prijateljica kupila za rođendan u second hand vintage dućanu. Moj bi savjet bio da ako ste protiv nošenja kože (iz bilo kojih razloga) da razmislite o kupovini vintage kožnih predmeta. Svi mi znamo da je kupovina second hand ili vintage odjeće i predmeta dobra za okoliš. Što se tiče lokacije, opet smo u Mostaru. Shvatila sam da sam zaboravila pokazati vam Mostarsku gradsku katedralu pa ću vam danas s vama podijeliti puno puno fotografija. Njen je službeni naziv katedrala Marije Kraljice Neba i Majke Crkve. Mostarska katedrala izgrađena je u osamdesetima i smještena je u blizini biskupske rezidencije (koju također možete vidjeti na ovim fotografijama. Zapravo fotografije rezidencije su prve po redu). To je sve za danas. Uživajte u vikendu!

    Wow, dear Ivana, the skirt is so beautiful and I love it how you have combined it with the blazer and the hat! Yes, you are right, in spring we have really the possibility to wear all the blazers in our closet :) And thank you for sharing that many impressing pictures from the cathedral in Mostar, seems to be really a buidling with a clear and neat architecture. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the weekend!

    That outfit is super cool and you look so lovely and wow in it. Those curves are so exciting each time you share them. Great, scenic locales but I long for the sight of a McDonalds in your country, something more mundane. I like seeing how things here look there. Odd duck I know :)

    Hi again, dear! Sorry, I missed some posts from your blog but now I'm back! Sometimes time is not enough during the week, eh? But is always a pleasure to visit you :D

    Yes! I definitely know that feeling, when weather can make up its own mind and we're moving from winter to spring in just a few hours! It happens a lot in Barcelona even tho the sky is always blue!

    I definitely go for an outfit like yours! Thinking in layers and going through the day removing pieces, is the only alternative! I really loved the skirt, is go gorgeous and it fits you like a glove :D

    And well, when we take outfits pictures the location is always an important thing to think about ! In this ocassion that place was the ideal option for you to take the pictures :D Thanks for introducing it to us and sharing a little about the places you visit, is always magical to know stuff about other important and nice places across the globe!

    Have a great week, ahead!

    What a lovely transitional look!! I love your boots and the pop of red...and the little bag looks just perfect. It has the sort of size that I really love. Buying vintage leather is actually a great idea...since I turned vegetarian I resort to that far more often too.

    Love this transitional look, Ivana. Sometimes it's so hard to decide what to wear, it's cold in the morning but freaking warm later on the day, duh! Lovely backdrop, the architecture is beautiful, Ivana. I know I repeat myself, lol, but you live in such a beautiful place, girl.

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.

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
