Cherry dress and cat ears / haljna s uzorkom trešnje i mačje uši (Potoci, Bijelo polje, Mostar, BIH)


One of the things that I love about Mostar is that are so many amazing locations nearby. Take for example Potoci (literally translated it means Streams), a little village in vicinity of Mostar. It is such a lovely place to go for a stroll and breathe in some fresh and unpolutted air.  Last time I posted about Potoci, Bijelo polje near Mostar (here), some of you asked me about the church you could see in the background. So, today I'll be showing you a closer view of this church and its surroundings. All of these images were taken in front of the church of The Most Holy Heart of Jesus in Potoci, Bijelo polje (Bosnia and Herzegovina).  Now, about the outfit. The hair decoration in my hair is DIY. You had the change of seeing it on my blog here , here and here but in those post I wore it as a necklace.  I got this dress from dresslink ages ago and I'm still not bored of it. I must be a sucker for cherry print. Have a nice day everyone!

Jedna od stvari koje volim kod Mostara je to što ima toliko nevjerojatnih mjesta u blizini, nrp. Potoci, malo selo u blitini Mostara. To je tako lijepo mjesto za prošetati i udahnuti malo svježega i nezagađenoga zraka. Zadnji put (ovdje) kada sam objavljivala o Potocima (Bijelo polje pored Mostara),  neki od vas su me pitali o crkvi koja se vidjela u pozadini pa vam danas pokazujem ovo područje izbliza. Sve su ove fotografije uslikane ispred i u blizini crkve Presvetoga Srca Isusova, Potoci, Bijelo polje (BIH). Sada što se tiče odjevne kombinacije. Ukras u kosi je moja izrada. Imali ste ga prilike vidjeti na blogu i prije (ovdje, ovdje, ovdje) ali dosada sam ga nosila kao ogrlicu. Ovu haljinu sam davno dobila od dresslinka i još uvijek mi nije dosadila. Valjda zato jer volim uzorak trešnje. Ugodan dan vam svima želim!

    Ah, sto volim ovu tvoju haljinicu! Tako je lepa i damska, sto sam ti verovatno vec i pisala u nekom ranijem postu. Svidja mi i sto ne mora nuzno biti letnja, vec ovako uz carape moze biti i sjajan komad u jesenjim danima.

And no wonder you are still not bored about this super lovely summer dress with the cherries as it is definitely such a cute piece and suits you very well. And at the moment it is even the time of cherries (at least in Bavaria) so it is additional the perfect dress for this season! You look beautiful and sweet in this dress. Hopefully you enjoyed the weekend so far <3

    You live in such a beautiful place. So full of nature, greenery and water! We lack these stuff here in our tiny city state. We do have reservoirs, conserved nature reserves and other man-made parks in our highly urbanised country. I would love to see streams and greenery everywhere I go and the weather where you are always looks so good!

    I really enjoy getting to know about all the charming village and towns in Mostar through your posts about them. Potoci is such a meaningful name. That dress has to be one of my favorites of yours as I love a good cherry motif.

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

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

Image
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)

Image
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!

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
