Four DIY items in one outfit (necklace, belt, pom pom sandals)/ Četiri stvari koje sam sama izradila u jednoj odjevnoj kombinaciji ( ogrlica, remen i sandale s pomponima)


This outfit is all about DIY. I made both this faux leatther necklace and this belt with fringes myself. They were both made from an old faux leather coat. I also decorated the bag with decoupage flowers. Moreover, there is one more fun DIY project. You will see that I'm wearing two pair of shoes in this post (sneakers and heels...and isn't it interesting how the choice of footwear completely transforms an outfit?)... Now, about the heels. They were my wedding shoes, so this pair of sandals is very special to me. I decided to breathe new life into them by sewing pom poms on them. That goes to show how much I love pom poms. All the DIY tutorials I saw includes glueing, but I oppose glueing on prinicple ( ok, that's not really true, I may  just happen  to be too lazy to go out and buy glue) so I decided to sew pom poms onto my sandals. That proved a bit difficult, but I'm happy I choose the harder way because now I'm sure they will stay there. That would be all for today! Three DIY items and one outfit. In case, anyone is wondering, the location is Bunica recreational centre near Mostar ( Bosnia and Herzegovina). 

Ova odjevna kombinacija je složena po načelu 'izradi sam'. Sama sam izradila i ogrlici i remen s resama od eko kože. Oboje su napravljeni od staroga kaputa od eko kože, a torbicu sam isto sama ukrasila s decoupage cvjetovima. U ovoj kombinaciji ima još jedan "izradi sam" projekt. Vidjeti ćete da nosim dva para cipela u ovoj kombinaciji (tenisice i pete---i zar nije zanimljivo kako izbor obuće odmah mijenja svaku kombinaciju?) Sada, što se tiče sandala s petom, njih sam nosila na vjenčanju, tako da su mi prirasle srcu. Odlučila sam im udahnuti novi život tako što ću na njih ušiti pompone. To samo pokazuje koliko mi se sviđaju pomponići.  Svi tutorijali s pomopnima su uključivali lijepljenje, a pošto sam ja u principu protiv njega ( možda sam jednostavno previše lijena da idem u dućan), odlučila sam ih ušiti sama na sandale, što se pokazalo teškim. Zapravo mi je drago što sam se odlučila na ovaj teži način jer sam sada sigurna da će ostati na mjestu. To je sve za danas. Četiri stvari koje sam sama izradila u jednoj odjevnoj kombinaciji.  Ako vas slučajno zanima, lokacija je Binica rekreacijski centar u Mostaru ( Bosna i Hercegovina).

    Svaka ti cast na svim diy projektima u ovome postu :) Sve izgleda jako lijepo ali su sandalice bas nesto posebno. Vjerujem da je jako lijepo dati taj neki svoj touch svakom komadu... i sama bi svasta voljela ali nemam mogucnosti trenutno... ali jednog dana kada malci malo porastu i bude vise vremena... i kad se odvazim-naravno!
    Jako lijepa kombinacija i sa tenkama i sandalama. Volim ovakav tip suknje... imas prirodni poriv stalno se vrtiti-zar ne? :)

    Such a crafty critter you are, dear. I have been feeling the urge to do a craft project myself lately but having trouble deciding what to do. Perhaps decorate a shirt with my favortie basketball team logos and numbers and such. I have zero skill at that sort of thing but it can be so fun :) You look amazing in these shots, those 2 in the middle somewhere there with your gorgeous curves so well displayed, very sexy and exciting! But it was the shot of your cool shoe and those tights that made my night amazing. So close to toes in tights and close enough for a very big wow ;)

    Hope you're having a great weekend :)

    The dress, skirt, and necklace all look great to me. I honestly haven't been too fond of those striped sneakers, but I do like the cutout peep-toe booties a good bit more. Very good outfit nonetheless.

    Sviđa mi se duga crna suknja, ako dobro vidim, plisirana je. Dobro si ju skombinirala na startasice. Pete daju drugačiji dojam, naravno.

      da, plisirana je i zapravo je tamno sive boje ali se na slikama ne vidi baš najbolje:)
      Volim nositi ono što napravim, dosta toga i poklonim, ali neke malo šarenije komade obično ostavim sebi jer je to nekako moj đir:)

    I've missed seeing your DIY necklaces and this one is just fantastic! You know I think it's totally cool how you personalize your looks with these DIY touches and it's lovely how you transformed your wedding heels with those pom poms. Pom poms are quite trendy these day too. I saw a really cute pair of pom pom sandals in a shop the other day but you're inspiring me to DIY one of my existing pairs :)

    Koja lepota! Kao neka princeza iz bajke si u toj prelepoj kombinaciji i na tako divnom mestu (mene uvek interesuje lokacija) :) Ne bih znala odakle da počnem jer svaki detalj zaslužuje posebnu pažnju ali ću da skratim priču i da ti kažem kako sam ostala opčinjena sandalama sa pomponima. Prvo mislim da je sjajna ideja što su u pitanju sandale koje si nosila na venčanju jer na taj način si im dala novu upotrebu, a kao drugo, pomponi su svuda oko nas i tako nedoljivi :) Ja baš sad nosim šorc sa njima :D Iako se može naći dosta obuće sa pomponima, tvoja je unikatna i zadržala je tu prefinjenju notu sa početka. Čista 10-ka :)

      za mene su lokacije isto važno, trudim se pokazati ljepote mjesta koje i sama volim. Odjeća mi je isto zanimljiva, ali nekako su mi draže ove objave u kojima nije samo moda u pitanju, volim uvijek da još nečega ima:)

      pomoponi su stvarno neodoljivi:)

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

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

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 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

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
