A good pair of sneakers is worth gold...Dobar par tenisica zlata vrijedi.....



 A good pair if sneakers is worth gold, but so is a nice pair of jeans. There is something liberating about wearing capri jeans.  Theis pair of high-waist cropped jeans is one of the most comfortable ones I own. What is there not to love about capri jeans? You get to free and show a little leg but you don't have to worry whether it is too much. They're a wonderful choice for Spring when it is not warm enough to wear shorts but they also come in handy for those fresh summer days. Do you like capri jeans? I often choose them when I'm travelling, precisely because of that comfort factor. When these photographs were taken (about two weeks ago) I paired them with white sneakers and a turtleneck. P.S. If you're wondering why I have been absent for the last five days...long story short- no internet connection.

Dobar par tenisica vrijedi zlata, a isto se može reći i za lijep par traperica. Ima nešto oslobađajuće u nošenju traperica carpi dužine. Ovaj par viskoga struka mi je jedan od najudobnije koje imam. Što nam se ima ne sviđati kod capri traperica? Možemo malo osloboditi i pokazati nogu, a ne moramo se brinuti je li to previše. One su odličan izbor za proljeće kada nije dovoljno toplo za nositi hlačice, ali dobro dođu i za one svježe ljetne dane. Volite li vi capri traperice? Ja ih često nosim kada putujem, baš zbog udobnosti. Kada su ove fotografije uslikane, prije dva tjedna otprilike, onda sam ih nosila s bijelim tenisicama i dolčevitom. P.S. Ako se pitate zašto sam bila odsutna prošlih pet dana, to bi se dalo sažeti ukratko na probleme s internetskom vezom.

    Sviđa mi se torba. Hlače visokog struka su super na osobama koje imaju ovako finu liniju kao ti :)
    Traperice su u mom ormaru valjda najmanje zastupljene, pa nemam ni kapri, ali nosila sam ih prije i bile su mi baš za ta međurazdoblja.

    Upravo shvatam da nemam baš nijedne pantalone tog tipa, a sećam se da sam imala jedne koje nisam skidala godinama. Baš si me podestila na ta vremena i osećaj kad nosimo nešto što je toliko udobno i prilagodljivo, drugačije i efektno, ma prava stvar. Te koje ti nosiš su valjda najlepše koje sam ikada videla. Visoki struk tako dobro ide uz kraće nogavice, mislim da jako laska ženskoj figuri, a tebi svakako :) Cela kombinacija je prosto neodoljiva i ima tu neku sportsku šik notu koju obožavam. Drago mi je da si nam se vratila <3

    You look adorable in this chic and comfy outfit! I'm with you on both counts that a good pair of sneakers as well as a good pair of jeans are worth gold especially if the jeans fit well. I've always liked the look breezy look of capri jeans and they're so right for summer but I haven't found a pair that I like yet.

    I never get why people get so hung up on age. It's just a number and as long as two people are in love it shouldn't matter. You and your husband look very compatible in all your photos. Glad you can see it too with the body language of those two. They just seem so sweet when they're together and it totally fascinates me.

    I am the newest convert to sneakers and am coming to a conclusion that a good pair of sneakers is better than silver and gold. I mean my heels have platforms that keep them comfortable for the most part but nothing compared to sneakers. Like whatttt??? Now it's a 50-50 affair.

    I'm not big on capris but most of my jeans are high waisted. Ultra high waisted for the most part and I love it cos then I can wear crop tops without feeling like I'm showing too much. I do own a similar pair to yours but the top part of mine is detachable. I love how you added a belt to yours. It definitely added interest.

    You have a cool travel style Ivana. Very sporty and comfy. The burgundy turtle neck matches the capris perfectly. I can see me in this for long flights like the one from SF to Istanbul that was 13 hours long. I dreaded coming back and would have stayed back if I had my way, ha!

    So sorry to read about your internet connection. We get so used to these things and literally get derailed when they are not working as they should. Glad it's back up.

    You must not have the fear of heights perched up high like that. Or maybe it's not as high. You got some great shots there though. I love them all.

    PS: Your yellow bag is very cute!

    Hi there, dear Ivana! How you doing? I see that right according to the great pictures you're sharing with us today! :D

    They have such a really good vibe, specially for the sneakers, and I'm going to confess that I'm a sneaker boys, I can't get tired of them! Today I saw some Converse and I was about to buy them, then I told to myself "you already own a pair, Pablo!", hahaha, I also love booties and oxford shoes, but I don't know, there are so many cool options when it comes to sneakers ;) I love yours! And you know how to rock it! Talking about the capris, I think this is such a difficult garment to wear, but you really styled it in a cool and lovely way! :D

    I love the background in this post! By the way, thanks for the comment on my book club post, if you remember the name of that book please tell me, dear!

    Hope you have a great Sunday ;)

    Moram priznati da baš nisam ljubiteljica capri hlača jer mi se čini da ti nepotrebno skraćuju noge a pogotovo kada su još niskog struka. Ove tvoje mi osobno djeluju odlično vjerojatno jer su visokoga struka pa mi je dobivena neka simetrija a ističu ti lijepo i tijelo tako da na kombinaciju stvarno nemam nikakvih primjedbi! :) Da su ugodne, ne sumnjam uopće a uz dolčevitu su se odlično uparile! :)

    Dear Ivana, I agree absolutely: a good pair of sneakers is worth gold and the same is valid for a good pair of denims :) Your capri denims are very cool and I understand you love them so much. Personally I love denims with a shorter length, too, honestly it happens I refuse to wear really long pants in summer For example today it was not that hot in Bavaria but I wore nearly the complete day denim shorts as I feel much more comfortable in them. So sorry you had no Internet connection. Hopefully now everything is working again properly. Enjoy your new week!

    Whilst I wouldn't wear capri jeans myself (I don't wear jeans in general, last time I wore a pair was about ten years ago! I'm not sure why, I just don't think they look good on me, ever!), I absolutely love capri leggings etc. The length is just perfect for the summer, like you said you get to show off a little leg but not too much, making them a very comfortable choice for me. :) Loving how you styled yours with the jumper and those sunnies, summer in full swing I see? :D <3 x

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

 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

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
