University campus (my version of a school uniform) / Sveučilišni kampus ( moja verzija školske uniforme)

Just in case you're wondering, the location for these photographs is University campus in Split city (Croatia). The first building (in order of appearance) is University library of Split and the others are  mostly university buildings ( University of Engineering, University of Economics etc). This location was featured previously on my blog a number of times ( for example here ) and  since then, a lot of people inquired about it, that's why I'm taking a moment to reflect on it. I personally like to go for a walk here and not only because it is where I live. One of my favourite writers ( Roger Zelazny) said he likes libraries because it makes him feel safe to be surrounded by walls of knowledge. I share his sentiment. Maybe that is what draws me to this place. There is something comforting about the search for knowledge, at times it even seems more complete to me than search for happiness that is so often elusive. After all, in life we must forever remain students because we are all students of life. My student days are in the past, but I'm still studying, I'm still learning the lessons of life. I still hunger for knowledge, perhaps now more than ever. It is like I have returned to my childhood and became that little girl that adores encyclopedias. There are days when everything seems so fascinating....and I think it is a good thing.

Ukoliko vas slučajno zanima, mjesto snimanja ovih slika je splitski sveučilišni kampus. Prva zgrada koja se vidi je Sveučilišna knjižnica grada Splita, ostalo su većinom zgrade raznih fakulteta ( FESB, Fakultet ekonomije itd). Lokacija je više puta bila na mom blogu (npr. ovdje) i od tada sam dobila puno pitanja o njoj, zato sam i uzela trenutak da se na nju osvrnem. Osobno volim tu prošetati i ne samo zato jer tu živim. Jedan od mojih omiljenih pisaca ( Roger Zelanzy) rekao je da voli knjižnjice jer se osjeća siguran okružen zidovima znanja, a moram reći da i ja dijelim taj osjećaj. Možda me to privlači ovom mjestu.  Nešto je utješno u potrazi za znanjem, ponekad čak čini mi se potpunijim od potrage za srećom koja često zna biti teško uhvatljiva. Na kraju krajeva, u životu moramo uvijek ostati učenici jer smo mi svi učenici života. Moji dani studentice su prošli, ali još uvijek studiram, još uvijek učim lekcije života. Još uvijek osjećam glad za znjanjem, možda sada više nego ikad. Kao da sam se vratila u djetinstvo i postala opet ona djevojčica koja obožava enciklopedije. Ima dana kada mi se sve čini tako zanimljivo....a mislim da je dobra stvar.

    I love what you said in the first paragraph hun, we all really are students of life! Your photos really take me back too, my university campus looked very similar and honestly being a uni student was one of the best experiences of my life! I do miss the good old days, it was fun learning and not worrying about having to support yourself in a daily life haha. Also, I love the outfit of course! :) That skirt is super pretty and really shows off your lovely figure. x x Kisses x x

    Dear Ivana, I must say I really like the campus of the university in Split - it looks so well arranged, tidy and clear there! Also your outfit is an eye-candy, I see you are wearing again yellow, what you love at the moment! And I love also the quote of one of your favourite writes, so true and I agree :) Further you are right that we all remain students during our complete life: we are all students of live. I recognised already very often that you are still very hungry of knowledge - I like this a lot and I'm convinced you will get eben wiser during your life as you are already at the moment. And I think you know that I'm not only convinced but I know this for sure you are already very wise and intelligent. What does your husband say? You are a genius and this is true.

    Prekrasno okruženje :) Je li i menza tu negdje? Sjetila sam se da smo u osnovnoj kada smo išli na Hvar na maturalac u Splitu stali na ručak koji je bio dogovoren u studentskoj menzi.
    Isto kao i ti uvijek volim učiti, nove stvari me uvijek zanimaju i super mi je kada nešto novo saznam/naučim. Najrađe bih studirala cijeli život i većinu fakseva prošla :D

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

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...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
