Rediscovering Split city/ Ponovo otkrivanje grada Splita.....


No make up. Baseball tee, jeans and sneakers. I mean it doesn't get anymore casual than that. Perfect outfit for a day of exploration of one gorgeous city. Yes, it happens to be  own city but that doesn't make it any less exciting. No matter how long I have lived here, I never tire of Split city. Who does? Nobody.  Split is not only beautiful. It is a city that has a soul. Come and see for yourself.

Bez šminke. Košarkaška majica, traperice i tenisice. Ne može biti više ležerno od toga. Savršena kombinacija za istraživanje jednoga prekrasnoga grada. Da, to je zapravo moj grad ,ali to ne znači da je manje uzbudljivo. Bez obzira koliko dugo živim ovdje, nikad se ne umorim od Splita. Tko bi se mogao umoriti? Nitko. Split nije samo lijep. To je grad s dušom. Dođite i uvjerite se sami.

    I feel like your love for your hometown is a running theme in your posts and it's awesome. I must admit that before your introduction, I wasn't really aware of this charming city but I'm getting a good sense of it and why you love it so much through your posts. You could totally be a tourism ambassador for Split :) Lovely casual look too!

    Hello again, my dear Ivana! First of all (maybe you're tired of hearing it, but anyways I want to say it) thanks for every comment and opinion you share in my posts, they are so meaningful for me and they help me to improve my content and explore more possibilities, also I can see that you're such a creative and open minded person and that is so inspiring! It's cool to hear opinions from such a really good artist and creative like you!

    Not talking about the OOTD you're sharing I'm such the kind of guy who is always wearing the comfortable option (adding some kind of chicness of course, haha). Looking at your attitude I can see that you really enjoyed the sunny day and the stroll!

    Wish I could travel there to visit you and take some photos along the way, wish I could have more money to travel the whole world and explore the possibilities! When that is not possible we can take a look around us and rediscover those amazing places we're surrounded! :D

    PS: I love the baseball spirit, sporty chic is such an amazing trend ;)

    Have a nice weekend and keep on doing cool!

      I do agree it is important to explore the places we live in...that way we will be better able to appreciate other places when we do get the chance to travel more.

    E zaista si u pravu! Tako lep grad poput Splita zasluzuje da bude istrazivan i uslikan. Slatka si u skroz opustenoj kombinaciji, idealnoj za morski ambijent.

    Ljubim te

    Doći ću nekada sigurno i to vrlo rado. Ne smem ni da zamislim kakav je to grad jer samo sa fotografija me očarava iznova i iznova :) I naravno, znaš već da se 100% slažem sa tobom po pitanju istraživanja grada u kojem živimo, a kako obe zapravo imamo 2 grada, mogućnosti su duple ;)
    Baš je lepo videti te i u krajnje opuštenom izdanju koji zna da bude tako oslobađajući. To ne znači da sve nije na svom mestu, čak naprotiv, takve opuštene i sportske kombinacije znaju da mi budu najdraže. Ta žuta torba se definitivno slaže uz sve. Naočare ti super stoje i mnogo mi se sviđa kombinacija boja :)
    Želim ti lep vikend <3

      hvala, svakako su mogućnosti duple kada živimo u dva grada...a izgleda da ću ja uskoro živjeti i u trećem:) ali samo privremeno (javiti ću o čemu se radi uskoro).

    Valjda bih ja sad kao rođena Zagrepčanka trebala sve opovrgnuti (posebno ovo za grad s dušom), ali neću...mimo svim glupostima sjever-jug, uvijek sam se u Splitu ugodno osjećala i vraćala se iz njega samo s lijepim uspomenama. :)
    Baš si mi drugačija u ovakvom izdanju, ali ti cool stoji. :)

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

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

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.

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

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
