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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

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 ...

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...

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...
