Dame Iris Murdoch

Finally the weekend is here!  What are your plans for tonight? My plan is to stay in and catch up with blogs. Today's post is going to be short and sweet. Just one outfit and book recommendation. First, something about the outfit.  This kind of styling is appropriate for colder days. How to dress when it is cold? If I managed to learn something during these cold days it would be- layers, layers, layers. Cap are also a good idea. If the weather suddenly improves, you can always put your cap in the bag. The same applies to scarves and gloves. Winter accessories are not only stylish, they are also practical- they were made to keep us warm. Keep warm and take care! Book recommendation of the day? The Sandcastle by Iris Murdoch. I'm a big fan of Murdoch, she was an extraordinary novelist.  You can read my book review here. I published this one on my other blog because I decided that I will publish most of my book reviews there. All the photographs were taken in vicinity of Mostar (the industrial zone).

Konačno je tu vikend! Kakvi su vaši planovi za večeras? Ja ostajem kući i nakonađujem propušteno u čitanju blogova. Današnja objava će biti kratka i slatka. Samo jedna odjevna kombinacija i preporuka knjige. Prvo nešto o kombinaciji koja je prilagođena ovoj zimi. Kako se obući kada je hladno? Ako sam išta naučila ovih hladnih dana, to je važnost slojeva. Kape su također dobra ideja. Popravi li se vrijeme iznenada, lako ih je ponovo ubaciti u torbu. Isto vrijedi i za šalove i rukavice. Zimski modni dodaci nisu samo ukras, oni su napravljeni sa svrhom da nam bude toplo. Tako da pazite na sebe i oblačite se toplo! Preporuka knjige dana? The Sandcastle, roman Iris Murdoch. Jako mi je draga ova književnica, smatram da je posjedovala doista izvaredni talent.  Možete pročitati moj ogled knjige ovdje, objavila sam je na svom drugom blogu jer sam odlučila da ću većinu ogleda knjiga objavljivati tamo.  Sve su fotografije uslikane u industrijskoj zoni u blizini Mostara.

    Dear Ivana, obviously we are doing the same this Saturday evening :) During this day I had a very beautiful walk with my husband in a village very near the Alps and we had a coffee in a hotel there I really like. The destination of the hotel is on a hill and the view there is wonderful. You can spot there even Neuschwanstein castle :)
    I see you had also an obviously nice walk and enjoyed the fantastic weather. I agree that layers are the key for cold days and I do exactly the same you recommend. The look you are wearing here suits you very well.
    Thank you for the book recommendation as I didn't know this book so far.

      I'm a big fan of mountains too. Somehow it has always been the case that the cities I lived in were surrounded by mountains. I guess I'm lucky that way:).

    Yeah, what one needs in cold weather is warmth and comfort. To look stylish at the same time would be good too, hehe. Love your photos, you look pretty and joyous! I guess the photographer and the surroundings play its role in creating your mood :) Cool hat and nice sweater!

    This is obviously not your latest post but I miss a lot of your outfit posts so here I am. Last weekend was very uneventful for me. Too cold to do anything so I doubled the covers, stayed in bed and watched Lifetime movies. You are definitely layered up and looking cozy. I love hats and live in them these days. Hats and other accessories that I leave on or peel off as the day unravels. You look great. I love the pops of red. I especially love the image where you are lost in the world of reading. It must be a good book when you can't put it down. Have a great rest of the week Ivana!

    Da, kad stegne zima slojevi su jedino rešenje, naročito za mene zimogrožljivu koja se smrzne i po ovoj blagoj mediteranskoj zimi :D Divne su slike, tako osunčane i vedre, lokacija je pun pogodak, a način na koji mešaš modu i književnost mi je uvek tako inspirativan i osvežavajuć. Jednostavno kada ovde dođem znam da neću videti nešto već viđeno, a takvim blogovima i osobama stremim :) <3

    "How to dress when it is cold?" - i think you show us the right way. a hat, scarves and gloves are important to keep you warm and i can image that you wearing a tight as well, right?

    i like the pics on the tracks - a unique place for pics like this one.

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

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

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

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
