Fashion illustration of the day / Modna ilustracija dana 9.10.2018.----- Larissa


Autumn has arrived. It lingers in the air. All my blazers take, once again, a prominent place in my closet…there they are hanging on the closet hangers but mixed with my Summer clothes, for you never know, do you? There will be plenty of sunny days to come. Mostar might be famous for its rains, but it is even more famous for its sunshine. The coats will be in rotation soon enough though, but not just yet. The air is colder. Too sudden of a change for my linking. It cost me a headache but I got over it. Rainy day…and then one blissful day of sunshine. Just to let you know you never know what to expect, but I know that. Do I? Perhaps I do. It is not an easy lesson to take, grand me that. Anything might happen. Everything that might happen will happen, you know the Murphy law. But it doesn’t have to be all bad. The unpredictable can be good. I’ll try to remember that, because everything seems unpredictable right now. This new cool air is full of life, as potent with it fragrances as only Autumn can  be. Too much coffee, too much reading, too many worries, too many plans and too much life. My head spins. Too much drawing, too much sketching…no, that’s not so. There is never too much drawing.  Everyone knows that. Not if you want to get really good. So, more drawing it is. More coffee. More life. More Autumn....and time for another fashion illustration of the day. The medium is coloured pencils on paper. How do you like this one?

Jesen je stigla. Tu je u zraku. Svi moji blajzeri zauzimaju opet značajno mjesto u mome ormaru....tu su vise na vješalicama, ali pomiješani s ljetnom odjećom jer se nikad ne zna, zar ne? Biti će još sunčanih dana,jer ako je Mostar poznat po svojim kišama, poznat je i po sunčanim danima. Uskoro će se nositi kaputi, ali ne još. Zrak je hladniji. Previše nagla promjena za moj ukus. Koštala me glavobolje, ali nekako sam to preboljela. Kišni dani...i onda jedan divan sunčani dan. Čisto da ti da do znanja da nikad ne znaš što te čeka, ali ja to znam....Znam li? Možda  i znam. Nije to laka životna lekcija, dozvolite mi to...Sve se može dogoditi. Sve što se može dogoditi će se dogoditi, kao što kaže Murphy-jev zakon. Ne mora sve to biti loše. Nepredvidljivo može biti i dobro. Nastojati ću zapamtiti to, jer mi se sve sada čini nepredvidljivo. Novi hladniji zrak je pun života, bogat mirisima kako to samo jesen može biti. Previše kave, previše briga, previše briga, previše planova i previše života...u glavi mi se vrti. Previše crtanja, previše skiciranja...ne, nije tako. Nikad nije previše crtanja. Svi to znaju. Ne ako želiš biti zaista dobar. Tako da...više crtanja...Još više kave. Više jeseni...i vrijeme je za još jednu modnu ilustraciju dana. Medij su bojice na papiru. Kako vam se sviđa?

    You are right, you just never know. Fall hasn't quite made up it's mind. I guess I kinda like that cos we can get away with more summer looks. In fact some Octobers here are even warmer than September. That feels frustrating sometimes since everyone is excited to pull out their cold weather outfits.
    There obviously can't be too much drawing in your life, :). You have a passion for it and not only does it show, it shows how good at it you are. My daughter is taking a fundamental visual art class and I always show her your sketches. I can't sketch anything to save my life. That's always embarrassing when I have to draw something for my kiddos at school. I am the queen of stick figures shame on me. This is another great piece. I love the illusion of texture in the hair. Very beautiful.
    I hope you have a great week Ivana.

    Your drawing still reflects perfectly summer colors. In Portugal fall is late, at least until today! Have a great week!

    Hello, dearest Ivana,

    in Austria it got very cold, too. This morning we had 3 degrees… that’s like winter. And two weeks ago it was nearly summer… May be, in two weeks it will be spring… oder REAL autum, who knows? We will see. But first we see a drawing of a brown-eyed lady with a fashionable mix of fall- and summer-colors – a pullover like autumn-leaves and a blazer like the ocean… I like it!

    Hugs and have a happy week,

    Traude

    Ah yes, the jackets, coats and blazers are making a triumphant return now that Autumn has well and truly arrived! It's interesting how you are keeping out some of your summer clothing due to unpredictable weather, that's totally not the case here in the UK where it's already really cold and unlikely to be any other way until May next year haha :) Lovely illustrations Ivana, great choice to focus on an Autumnal look now that October is well under way!

    For me the change from summer to cold autumn was to sudden too. Two weeks ago, we still were able to swim in a lake in Austria and now we have to cover our shivering bodys in thick winter coats ... brrrr.

    I love your beautiful fashion drawings very much! Specially I like the pairing of the blue blazer with the orange (or browne?) pullover :-)

    This is one of my favorite illustrations, dear Ivana! It does show the feelings in her eyes, I don't know whether I am right or not, but I feel it! And yes, there's never too much drawing. I hope your headache ends, it's not good, of course. The weather has this power over us, yes. I have to tell you that I loooove what you write, here and for me; you have such a great way of thinking, you are so sweet, so down to earth, the kind of attitude that I really really like! I am so sure that if we lived closer we would have lots of philosophical conversations! It's so refreshing to get to know someone who posts about fashion, but is beyond that. In the past I got to know some people that seemed to be nice, but are so self-absorbed, with twisted values - only thinking of consumerism, in that way I told you one day: with money they don't have, buying unnecessary things to show to people who don't care - a fake image: that they are rich. Why does someone need to be this way? So, I love the way you think and how you share that with your readers! Hope you have a wonderful week, dear Ivana!

    Yes, dear Ivana, you never know! But I know that the painting is wonderful and I love also the hair-do so much. I'm convinced you will have in Mostar some sunny days again and you need the clothes you won't put away :) Here in Bavaria it is very cold at the moment, but at least the air is fresh. But now I'm wondering if one can do really too much drawings?
    Have a wonderful new week, dear Ivana!

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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

Image
KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

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...

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

Image
 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 ...

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

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

Image
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...
