Boromine sandals review (+ How to paint on clothes?)/ Recenzija boromina (+ Kako slikati na odjeći?)

This outfit post was shot last month, when it was still warm enough during the day to wear something like this. Nevertheless, I'm aware that this is probably the last post with boromine sandals (those living in Croatia will know what I'm talking about, because these sandals are quite popular here). I wore these sandals quite often last Summer. Boromine are really as comfortable as everyone says they are (once your feet get used to the them, you will feel like you're walking on clouds).  In fact, I wore them so much they have already started to look worn out.  You can see how I wore them  here, here,  here and here. Considering the price, I wasn't expecting them to start looking worn out so early on, but well at least they're incredibly comfortable plus I must be honest and say I literally wore them all the time, so no wonder. However, Autumn is here so bye-bye sandals. Yesterday, I actually wore boots for the first time! How's the weather been treating you? There are a few DIY elements in this outfit (what a surprise,right?). To start with, there is a red necklace I made myself from fimo a long time ago. The trousers have a DIY element to them as well. I have painted flowers on them. Have you ever tried painting on clothes? Find out everything you want to know about painting with textile paints here.

Ovo je odjevna kombinacija iz prošloga mjeseca, ali još uvijek je dovoljno toplo tijekom dana za nositi nešto slično. Ipak, svjesna sam da mi je ovo skoro pa sigurno zadnja objava s ovim boromirama ( pretpostavljam da je većina as čula za boromire, ali ako niste to je novija varijanta borosana). Nosila sam ove sandale često prošloga ljeta. Stvarno su udobne kako svi kažu, kada vam se noga navikne na njih, to je kao da hodate po oblacima. Zapravo sam ih nosila toliko da već izgledaju iznošeno. U engleskom djelu teksta možete pronaći poveznice za odjevne kombinacije koje sam nosila s njima. S obzirom na cijenu, nisam očekivala da će tako brzo početi izgledati iznošene, ali barem su doista jako udobne...i da budem poštena stvarno sam ih jako često nosila. No, jesen je tu pa doviđenja sandalama. Jučer sam nosila čizme po prvi put! Kakvo je vrijeme kod vas? U ovoj odjevnoj kombinaciji ima par stvari koje sam sama ili izradila ili naslikala, npr. ova narukvica koju sam davno napravila od fima te ove hlače koje sam sama oslikala. Jeste li vi ikada probali slikati na odjeći? Saznajte sve što želite znati o slikanju s tekstilnim bojama ovdje.

    The trend these days is on embroidered designs to clothing. On creativity alone, I will grant you respect on something rather unconventional- painting on your clothes. You could either make garments look better or ruin them on certain patterns or designs painted on them. The pants themselves are great. While I do like the painted designs, I am a little indifferent on if they make these pants better or worse. Anyhow, this is a very nice style job along with the cool T-shirt. Not crazy of them, but the sandals are pretty good in their own right (better than Birkenstocks!).

    Na tebi mi one baš savršeno izgledaju, jedino mi je žao čuti da su se brzo istrošile iako sam upravo nekidan bacila one svoje pepita startasice od prošlog ljeta jer su pukle na prstima (ali sam ih nemilosrdno iznosila pa ne žalim). Moram priznati da će mi ipak malo faliti ove vesele ljetne kombinacije, kod nas je krenula bura i već mi fale moji kratki rukavi, čovjek tako lako zaboravi kako se stan brzo ohladi i pretvori u frižider! :)

    I kod mene je zahladilo, gotovo je nošenje sandala, razmišljam o čizmama i ja.
    Zanimljiva mi je ideja oslikavanja odjeće. Mogu se zamislit da tako oslikam neku lanenu košulju ili haljinu za ljeto.

I loved the place, it looks really great! Yes, now it's autumn, so it's time for jackets and scarves and sandals will see the sun again another time :) Loved the pictures, so beautiful! I hope you have a very sweet day!

    Isn't it sad when you notice that shoes that you love so much start looking worn out? I had a few pairs like that, loved and wore them so much...until they literally fell apart. I remember these pants, such unique pieces one does remember :)

    Ma che bella idea che hai avuto a decorare quei pantaloni Ivana, sono venuti benissimo e sono decisamenteun capo unico adesso!
    Bellissima anche la location delle foto, qui a Roma, ad eccezione della mattina e della sera, fa ancora piuttosto caldo quindi penso che sciarpe e giacche non le vedremo ancora per un pò di tempo! ^^

    Dear Ivana, I'm also sad that it looks like that for this year we have to say good-bye to our sandals. Nevertheless I try them still to wear when possible but I wore like you also already boots. I'm so impressed how talented you are! What you painted here is true art and I'm absolutely happy you combined it even with the shirt you won. Thank you for sharing and hopefully you will have some more warm days.

    Ne sumnjam da su boromine preudobne, a i veoma lepo izgledaju sto im je dodatan plus. Nazalost, cim obucu duze nosimo ume da izgleda staro, ali avaj sta da se radi.
    Kombinacija mi se bas dopada, kako majica sa printom, tako i pantalone savrsenog kroja i oslikane bas umetnicki. Bravo Ivanice :-*

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

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

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
