My new creation and restaurant recommendation / moja nova kreacija i preporuka restorana

Lately I've been trying to make post titles as descriptive as possible. Just to let you know what you can expect. :):):) What do I mean when I say 'my new creation' you may ask? My new creation is this necklace. I use to make all kinds of jewellery pieces but for the last few years I've been more focused on making necklaces. I made a lot of necklaces like this one, if you want to see more you can check out these old posts ( here,  here, here, and here). All you need for this DIY is faux leather, satin cord and rhinestones. I wouldn't call this DIY a difficult one. However, it does take some time and it requires having at least basic sewing skill. How do you like my new necklace? Now, about the outfit. I wore it for lunch with my husband. Speaking of which, I would like to make a little restaurant recommendation. What restaurant do I recommend today? Well, this one. It is called Stefanijo setalište and it is located in one of my favourite streets in Mostar city. If you want to know how this place got its name or the story behind these trees feel free to check it out in my old post.

U zadnje vrijeme trudim se da bi naslovi objava budu što više opisni, tako da znate što vas očekuje. :):) :) Što mislim kada kažem "moja nova kreacija"? Moja nova kreacija je ova ogrlica. Prije sam pravila svakakav nakit, ali zadnjih godina najviše sam koncentrirana na ogrlice. Napravila sam puno ogrlica poput ove, želite li ih još vidjeti možete pogledati neke stare objave ( npr. ovdje, ovdje, ovdje i ovdje). Sve što vam treba za ovaj napravi sam projekt je eko koža, satenska traka i cikloni. Ne bi ovaj projekt nazvala teškim, ali treba imati barem osnovne vještine šivanja i oduzima dosta vremena. Kako vam se sviđa moja nova ogrlica?  Sada, što se tiče odjevne kombinacije. Nosila sam je za ručak s mužem. Kada sam već kod te teme, htjela bi vam preporučiti restoran Štefanijino šetalište koji je smješten u jednoj od mojih omiljenih ulica u Mostaru. Želite li znati kako je dobio to ime, povijest ove ulice i priču ovih prekrasnih stabala, pročitajte ovu objavu.







SEE MORE POSTS WITH DIY NECKLACES I MADE IN THE PAST:
I browsed my archives to find 33 posts focused on faux leather necklaces (that I often wear as head pieces or belts as well). I could have probably found a few more, but I felt 33 posts is enough. For those of you who want to have a better idea of what these DIY faux leather necklaces look like, 33 posts will be introduction enough. I still have most of these necklaces. Some of them I gifted away, but most of them are still getting worn. 


POGLEDAJTE VIŠE OBJAVA SA DIY OGRLICAMA KOJE JE IZRADILA U PROŠLOSTI:
Pregledala sam svoju arhivu i pronašla 33 posta usredotočena na ogrlice od umjetne kože (koje često nosim i kao komade za glavu ili remenje). Mogao sam vjerojatno pronaći još nekoliko, ali smatrala sam da su 33 posta dovoljna. Za one od vas koji žele bolje predočiti kako izgledaju ove DIY ogrlice od umjetne kože, 33 objave će biti dovoljan uvod. Još uvijek imam većinu ovih ogrlica. Neke od njih sam poklonila, ali većina još uvijek nosim.

    Prvo, jako mi se sviđa outfit, a ova divna ogrlica ga je baš podigla, taman koliko treba. Sjedi pet od mene. ;)
    Drugo, upravo si odredila što ću imati danas za ručak...dobro, možda se ne mogu zaletjeti do Štefanijinog šetališta, koje baš izgleda kao ugodno mjesto za miran ručak, jedna pizza može biti smazana. =:D

    That huge tree looks amazing (the botanist speaking)! I really like your DIY necklaces, they always make such a statement. I personally feel that wearing something you have made yourself is always far more special than simply putting on something store-bought! I wish I would make more time for that kind of thing but with a full-time job time is always the issue.
    Hope you have a great day!

    Ogrlica je prelepa i baš se lepo ističe sa tamnijom kombinacijom poput te, a ne sumnjam da će odlično izgledati i uz svetlije boje i letnje kombinacije :) Sad sam podsetila i te starije objave i ako se ikada nađem u Mostaru, definitivno ću posetiti to mesto. Hrana izgleda toliko primamljivo i baš otvara apetit :)

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 ...

How to wear a scarf in more ways than one? (outfit post) / Kako nositi šal na više od jednog načina? (odjevna objava)

Image
Two ways to wear a scarf. Nothing revolutionary. If you want more inspiration, you will have to click this old  post  of mine. The first suggestion I'm trowing your way is just tieing a scarf in a bow. Nice, simple and bound to give every outfit a feminine touch. Do you agree? The other way is to secure a scarf with a belt. You must have took notice of  'belted scarf' trend last year. I think we will be seeing it in the upcoming Autumn and Winter season as well. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone and wear more black, but even when I choose an all black outfit, I feel a need for accessories that will be anything but.   Dva načina za nositi šal. Ništa revolucionarno. Želite li više nadahnuća, morati ćete otići na ovu moju staru objavu . Moj prvi prijedlog je da jednostavno zavežete šal u mašnu. Lijepo, jednostavno i sigurno će dati svakoj odjevnoj kombinaciji notu ženstvenosti. Slažete li se? Drugi način je učvrstiti šal na mjestu s remenom. Sigurno ste prim...

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...

WINDHAVEN ( BOOK REVIEW) AND JELSA OUTFITS

Image
Hello, dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall share three outfits and a book review. The stunning location for the photographs is Jelsa on island Hvar. I've blogged about this little touristic gem many times and you'll find more links about Jelsa towards the end of the post. Now, about the reading recommendations of the day. I'll be reviewing Windhaven , a science fiction novel by George R.R. Martin and Lisa Turtle. I read this novel years ago, but I still haven't reviewed it on this blog. Better late than never, right?  The outfits I'm sharing are a few transitional looks I wore in September in Jelsa. August and September were eventful months, with the move, job changes and so on. Life always seems to be getting more eventful. I suppose that isn't always a bad thing, is it? Change can be good. The weather has been quite changeable as well, as changeable as you expect transitional weather to be. Sometimes I wanted (and needed) to wear something ...

THE MASTERS BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (SHORT STORY REVIEW)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you doing? I've actually just returned from an unplanned vacation...and guess what?  I'm back with another Le Guin reading recommendation. In my past post, I reviewed Tenahu, the fourth book in the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin. Today I'll recommend and review a STEM themed short story from Ursula K. Le Guin! If you haven't noticed, I'm something of a fan. The short story in question is titled The Masters . It's one of Ursula's early works. If I'm not mistaken, it's her first or second published work. Some sources list is as first publish work, some as the second one.  Published in 1963, this short story is set in a dystopian future. It opens with a young protagonist undergoing an initiation of some kind. Soon, we as readers learn more about this initiation as well as the dystopian society he lives in. It's a preindustrial sort of world where the Sun is only occasionally seen. It's possib...
