Redhair (fashion illustration of the day)/ Crvenokosa (modna ilustracija dana)

watercolour/vodene boje

Today I'm sharing one of my fashion illustrations with you. This one was inspired by  recent trends that I happen to fancy, so this illustrated outfit includes  lace up heels, plaid skirt and off shoulder blouse. They said that one shouldn't wear more than one trend per outfit. Well, rules are meant to be broken, right? This is something I would like to wear. Well, at least I know I will get the chance to wear a statement necklace like the one I illustrated. You see for the last few days I've been sewing and working on new statement necklaces, so that is how I know.  Sometimes the easiest way to get something you want is to make it yourself.

Danas ću podijeliti jednu od svojih modnih ilustracija s vama. Ovu su nadahnuli nedavni trendovi koji mi se eto sviđaju, tako da ilustrirana odjevna kombinacija uključuje cipele na pete s vezicama u gladijatorskom stilu, plisiranu suknju i bluzu golih ramena. Kažu da ne treba nositi više od jednoga trenda na sebi. No, zar pravila nisu tu da se krše? Ja bi ovo nosila, a barem znam da ću sigurno nositi upečatljivu ogrlicu poput ove koju sam ilustrirala zato jer sam zadnjih par dana radila na šivanju i izradi novih ogrlica. Ponekad kada nešto želite, najjednostavnije je to napraviti sam.

    The outfit she is wearing is certainly stylish looking. You always do such a good job with creating an overall mood in your illustrations which is appealing as the subject itself :)

    There shouldn't be any rule to fashion or beauty unless it causes bodily harm. I say do what makes you confident about yourself!

    If only I could wave a wand and have all those trendy items in the illustration come to life. And magically appear in my closet. Gosh, if wishes were horses. I don't believe in abiding by rules especially when it comes to fashion. If it looks good I'm wearing it, lol. I love all the lace up shoes and off shoulder blouses. So cute. I'm very sure the necklace you made looks great. I can't wait to see it.

    Yes, dear Ivana, it is really one of the easiest way to make the things we want by ourselves :) I did this especially in the past very often - and feel always inspired when doing. And you are right: why should one wear not more than one trend at the same time? Not only due to this reason I really like your illustration of today and the power your illustration sends to me. Have a wonderful weekend!

    Love it and I really like that you took inspiration from one of the hottest trends right now: lace up shoes! This illustration is really beautiful and inspiring, I also love how made the background and the flowers, they look so fresh, I could imagine is watercolor, really love it dear!

    Keep on the good work!

    Love the look you've created here, Ivana. Rules? what rules? The only rule in fashion is, there ain't no rules in fashion. Period. Lovely illustration as well, Ivana. NIce approach at the wet-in-wet technique for the background.

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 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

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
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

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
