Bikini (fashion illustrations of the day/modne ilustracije dana)

B is for beautiful. B is for beach, B is for bikini, B is for breath-taking views. B is for a busy bee that deserves a vaction, My fashion illustrations have decided to pack their bags and go on a vacation. They want to spend some time on the beach, soak in the sun and make most of the Summer. I hope you don't mind guys. Today's fashion illustrations are all about that eternal classic: the bikini. Do you like bikinis? Do you wear them? What kind of swimwear do you prefer?

Nazdravimo! Za ljepotu. Za plažu. Za bikini. Za vidike koji oduzimaju dah! Za marljivu pčelicu koja je zaslužila svoj odmor. Moje modne ilustracije su odlučila spakirati svoje torbe i otići na odmor. Žele provesti malo vremena na plaži, uživati u suncu i iskoristi ljeto do maksimuma. Nadam se da vam to ne smeta. Današnje modne ilustracije su o jednom ljetnom klasiku: bikiniju. Volite li bikinije? Nosite li ih? Kakve kupaće kostime volite?

    Oh I love going on a virtual vacation with you through your pretty illustrations! And the way you presented these with the shadows is awesome! I tend to prefer tankini's more than bikinis more because I feel they suit me better. I'm actually a big fan of retro style swimwear.

    Loved your use of shadows as you photographed these to share :)

    And yes I'm a big fan of bikinis - essential beachwear or poolwear here! :)

    Neka, i treba tako :) Mnogo mi se sviđa kako si to sročila :) Ove ilustracije su tako divne, letnje, vesele. Odmah poželim da ostavim sve, da uskočim u bikini i trk na plažu, a to ću već sutra, prekosutra i da uradim :) Ja mnogo volim bikinije i sve moguće varijante iz dva dela. Kupaći kostimi iz jednog dela su nešto što nemam običaj da nosim. Iako znaju lepo da izgledaju, nisu mi praktični ni za sunčanje, ni za kupanje.
    Želim ti lep vikend! <3

    B is for busy bee that deserves a vacation so describes me right now. Since I can't go I'm vacationing vicariously through your illustrations. So so beautiful. I love bikinis but I go more for a vintage style. The high waisted is my favorite. Much as I'm not a swimmer, I collect those so I can sit around the pool or beach and people watch or wade in shallow waters. I am petrified of water having lost a brother to it. How fabulous are these illustrations! I know I've said it before but I'll say it again and again, you are very talented. Great details as always. Totally amazing!!!! I hope you enjoy a great weekend Ivana.

      I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and I can understand why swimming might make you pertified....I know a lot of people who don't go into deep waters and there are real risks, especially when ocean is concerned, it makes sense to stay in shallow waters.

    Ciao Ivana, sono affascinata soprattutto dall'illustrazione con la gonna lunga.
    Splendido il bikini che hai disegnato.

    I like bikinis and also one piece swimsuits, which is what I bought this summer. Great illustrations Ivanna, and I like how you took the photos using the shadowing of your environment. Have a great weekend./Madison

    Those are so vivid and lovely, great work! As much as it may surprise you, I actually find one-piece swimsuits more exciting on women than a bikini. Something about the fit and the mystery.

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

Image
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

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
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!

 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
