Sunday is for simplicity (modna ilustracija) / Nedjelja je za jednostavnost (modna ilustracija) 11.12.2016.


Sunday is for simplicity. Taking our time to drink our morning coffee. Taking the time to smell the roses (In my case there is only one rose in the vase, but it is making me infinitely happy. I love it when my roses blossom in Autumn and Winter. It is very nice of them I think. Every time I see a new bud in my garden, it is such a pleasant surprise). Sunday is for those little pleasures in life. We should always be ready to meet them, but Sunday somehow makes it easier for us. Living in the now. Spending time with love ones. Spending time doing things we love. Tell me, what does Sunday mean to you?

Nedjelja je za jednostavnost. Uzimanje više vremena za popiti tu jutarnju kavu. Uzimanje vremena za pomirisati ruže (U mom slučaju je samo jedna u vazi, ali i ona me neizmjerno veseli. Volim kada moje ruže cvjetaju u jesen i zimu. To je baš lijepo od njih. Svaki put kada vidim novi pupoljak u svome vrtu to je tako ugodno iznenađenje). Nedjelja je za ta mala zadovoljstva u životu. Uvijek ih trebamo znati dočekati, ali nedjelja nam to nekako olakšava. Življenje u sada. Provođenje vremena s voljenima.  Bavljenje stvarima koje volimo raditi. Recite mi, što nedjelja znači vama?






Sometimes a simple pencil sketch feels so good to draw. Unplanned. This pencil drawing wasn't inspired by any particular look, but it the kind of dress I would love to have in closet. A maxi dress with long sleeves and bare shoulders. It seems like a lovely option for a Christmas party. What do you think? Have you selected your festive dresses yet? Do you have them ready? I must admit that I do not. However, I'm thinking about them. Hence this fashion illustration of the day. Now, that I look at it, I see slight Morticia Adams vibes, but that's all right because I actually really like this character, as portrayed by both actresses that made it famous. I didn't really have a particular colour in  mind when it comes to this dress,  I didn't think about it because I drew this illustration so quickly but I think red, green, gold or any other festive colour would do. You can also go with black, like Morticia.


Ponekad je baš dobar osjećaj napraviti jednostavnu skicu olovkom. Neplaniranu. Ovaj crtež olovkom nije nadahnut ničim određenim, ali je to haljina kakvu bi sama voljela imati u ormaru. Duga haljina s dugim rukavima, ali golim ramenima. Čini mi se kao dobra opcija za božične zabave. Što vi mislite? Jeste li još odabrali još vaše haljine za posebne blagdanske prigode? Jesu li spremne? Moram priznati da još nisam odabrala. No, razmišljam o njima. Stoga, današnja modna ilustracija. Sada kada je gledam vidim malo utjecaj Moticije Adams, ali to je u redu jer mi se sviđa taj lik, u izvedbi obje glumice koje su ga proslavile. Zapravo nisam imala neku određenu boju na umu, nisam o tome razmišljala jer sam tako brzo nacrtala ovu ilustracija, ali mislim da crvena, zelena, zlatna ili bilo koja blagdanska boja može dobro doći. Možete uvijek pokušati i s crnom, kao Moticia.












That's all for this morning! I should have a new Inspired by post published by tonight. You can see the sketch in my instastories. Can you guess who it is?

    I really enjoy my Sunday mornings. Usually they are peaceful. I enjoy a great breakfast. It's my day to pull myself together and get ready for the week.

    Sundays to me are all abut unwinding. We usually like to chill out, maybe go out for a leisurely lunch and then prepare ourselves for the new week.

    Vrt sa ružama zvuči kao bajka :) Ja sam isto srećna što se neke biljke koje imam na terasi od proletos još uvek drže i cvetaju, mada verovatno utiče to što nas zima ovde i dalje zaobilazi. Slažem se sa tobom. Nedelja i jeste za tako neke sitnice i jednostavne stvari koje često uzimamo zdravo za gotovo. Volim to neko usporavanje, šetnje gradom i prikupljanje energije za neredne dane :)
    I ja bih rado nosila takvu haljinu :) Tako su otmene i praznične. Kad sam pročitala ime Morticia, zaista i vidim sličnost. Eto, čak i ona može da inspiriše :)

    This dress is so lovely! Elegant, slightly mysterious. Loving how you depicted this outfit! I enjoy lazy Sundays myself, also... I don't usually go out and I much prefer a quiet day in, with a cup of coffee, blogging and some TV. :) <3 Kisses! xoxo

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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

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

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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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!

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
