Layering in Spring time....Slojevito odijevanje u proljeće....

Today I have prepared a transitional outfit for you. Considering how temperemental weather is these days, it seems appropriate to post a transitional outfit like this one. I know that Summer is approaching but when weather has a mind of its own, we must act accordingly. Anyway, I decided to wear a purple dress under a purple sweater. I always try to find ways to wear summer dresses during Spring. On top of that I wore a man's blazer that I originally ordered for my significant other. The only jewellery I wore is this lovely necklace I ordered ages ago from this site. I wear it quite often and I think this type of statement necklace really comes in handy. How was your weekend? Mine was fine, despite the stomach bug. Fingers crossed that it goes away soon. P.S. In case you're wondering about the location, it is once again Bunica recreational zone (which is located near Mostar, BIH).

Danas sam za vas pripremila prijelaznu odjevnu kombinaciju. S obzirom na to kako je promjenjivo vrijeme zadnjih dana, čini se prikladnim objaviti neku takvu kombinaciju. Znam da se ljeto bliži, ali kada vrijeme ima neki svoj plan, moramo mu se i mi prilagoditi. Uglavnom, obukla sam ljubičastu haljinu ispod ljubičastog džempera (uvijek se trudim naći način za nositi ljetne haljine u proljeće), a preko toga sam obukla muški sako koji sam zapravo naručila za svoju drugu polovicu. Jedini nakit koji sam nosila je ova divna ogrlica koju sam naručila davnih dana s ove stranice , stvarno je često nosim i čini mi se da takva ogrlica jako dobro dođe. Kakav je bio vaš vikend? Moj je bio dobar, unatoč probavnoj virozi za koju se nadam da će uskoro proći.  P.S. U slučaju da se pitate gdje sam, ovo je opet rekreacijska zona Bunica (koja smještena blizu Mostara, u Bosni i Hercegovini).

    Sviđa mi se kombinacija haljine i džempera, baš se savršeno nijanse slažu! :) Evo ovdje je taman naoblačilo, mislim da ću i ja ukoro morati navući nešto preko ovih kratkih rukava.

    Nadam se da si bolje. I mene je uhvatilo isto čim sam se vratila sa puta. Baš ume da bude mučno :/ Drago mi je da ti ipak nije pokvarilo vikend :)
    Ljubičasta je jedna od boja koja je često nepravedno zapostavljena pa sam se baš obradovala kada sam videla da je ona u glavnoj ulozi :) Ta pastelna nijansa džempera mi je jedna od omiljenih, a sam džamper kao da je došao u komlpetu sa haljinicom. Postigla si odličan kontrast sa čizmama i muškim sakoom, a oglica je ipak potvrdila tu neku ženstvenu notu. Sve u svemu, čista 10-ka ako se ja pitam :) I da, dvogled je šlag na torti! ;)

      hvala ti puno i meni se sviđa ova pastelna nijansa ljubičaste....viroza mi nije pokvarila vikend, ali mi je zato tjedan loše počeo, nikako da prođe:(

      Nadam se da si ti bolje....a dvogled uvijek nosimo sa nama.

    I like how you've mixed your wardrobe with a man's blazer, the contrast is so unusual and very unique to your personal style! I agree about the weather being temperamental by the way haha, it's all over the place in the UK this month as well. Roll on summer, right?! :)

    The weather in your place seems lovely and bright dear. Unlike here, it's been very hot lately so layering here must be difficult lol. Anyway, I really love layering. I think it is a wonderful way to make an outfit look instantly stylish. You look wonderful and I am happy that you have a wonderful week! :)

    I agree that layering is such an integral element to putting together outfits in the spring since the weather can greatly vary from cold to warm. The way you styled this look is nice since it mixes a warm sweater with a more summery looking floral skirt. Sorry to hear about your stomach bug. good that it's didn't ruin your weekend and hope you're feeling better now.

    Hey Ivana, we're also living that Spring feeling in Barcelona (even tho some we still have some rainy-cloudy-windy days) but they're also beautiful! But well, sometimes the weather is a liar haha and we adapt our wardrobe choices to it! I really like how you mixed up that sweater (I got one very very similar) with the necklace! It includes the warmy but with a touch of glam and elegance!

    Everything in that place looks really green, like an advertising! Hope you're feeling better with your stomach! :D

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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

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
