Mostar, the city of bridges / Mostar, grad mostova


The weather has been unpredictable lately. One day it is Summer, the next Autumn. Today I might be sporting short sleeves, tomorrow I might be wearing a winter coat. Layering is always a good idea, but when the weather is this crazy, it turns into a necessity. Truth be told, these images were taken about a month (maybe even two) ago, but I wore practically the same thing last night. It has been raining all day yesterday and while it is not  exactly cold outdoors, it isn't warm either. One doesn't feel too warm wearing a winter coat. Meaning: Spring is hiding itself. Not that I mind much. Most of the weather is pretty gorgeous here and I would be silly to complain of a few rainy days.

Vrijeme je u zadnje vrijeme nepredvidljivo. Jednoga dana je ljeto, idućega jesen. Danas možda hodam u kratkim rukavima, sutra nosim zimski kaput. Slojevito odijevanje je uvijek dobra ideja , ali kada je vrijeme ovako ludo, onda je to nužnost. Istinu govoreći ove slike su uslikane prije mjesec (možda čak i dva), ali nosila sam praktično istu stvar jučer navečer. Jučer je cijeli dan padala kiša i iako ne mogu reći da je baš hladno vani, nije ni toplo. U zimskom kaputu nije bi bilo vruće. U prijevodu, proljeće se negdje skriva. Ne da se žalim. Većinu vremena ovdje je vrijeme poprilično lijepo i bila bi blesava da se žalim zbog par kišnih dana.

 Mostar is a city of bridges. Not surprisingly, really. When  a city can boost of seven river (7!!!!), there are bound to be bridges. This bridge has had a long and an interesting history. It was rebuild six times and changed its name four time. It is officially called Musala bridge, but some people still call it Tito's bridge (one of its old names). It is located between hotel Bristol (on its left side) and hotel Bristol (on its right side).

Mostar je grad mostova. Nimalo čudno, zapravo. Kada se grad može pohvaliti sa sedam rijeka ( ni više ni manje) onda tu mora biti i mostova. Ovaj most je imao dugu i zanimljivu povijest. Šest puta je nanovo izgrađivan, a ime je promijenio četiri puta. Službeno se zove Musala most, ali neki ljudi ga zovu Titov most (jedno od njegovih starih imena). Smješten je između hotela Neretva (na svojoj lijevoj strani) i hotela Bristol (na svojoj desnoj strani).

    I never knew that Mostar had so many bridges, that's amazing! :) And so funny about the Hotel Bristol... Bristol (in the UK) is where I live. :) And I completely agree with you about the weather lately, dear... It has been so unpredictable over here, as well! We had a couple of weeks of sunshine, but now it's back to dark, gloomy and rainy all the time, unfortunately! Hopefully it will pick up again soon. :) Also, I really love this outfit, dear! The coat is so stylish and comfortable, and quite similar to one I have for autumn, also. Love how you styled it with everything else! Hope you're having a fantastic weekend, lovely! xoxo

    Jao ovo ludo vrijeme...mi smo u zadnjih par dana u više navrata otkazivali i prebacivali jedno veliko snimanje, da bi na kraju danas ujutro zbog prevrtljivih oblaka sve s jutra prebacili na popodne...ma suludo je sve, da ne spominjem da se također ne znam kako obući, sklonila sam svu deblju odjeću i sad se krpam slojevima jer se ne želim vratiti u džemper haha :D

    You look so stylish in this outfit Ivana! I really like your coat and the wash of these particular jeans. Also, the layering with the collared shirt and sweater are perfect! How is the weather over there? Here it is sunny but windy.

    Dear Ivana, in Bavaria this week was even a lot of snow but since yesterday the sun returened :) How good you don't complain about a few rainy days as I got already the impression that the weather in Moster is pretty good! Wow, Mostar has 7 rivers! This is amazing - no wonder there are that many bridges.
    Thanks for sharing this beautiful post including your cool look with the denims. I'm convinced this look was also yesterday totally appropriate for you.

    Beautiful! 7 rivers, that's an amazing fact for just one city! In Russia, St Petersburg boasts literally hundreds of bridges with all its rivers and canals. But of course, it is also a large city. There is something magical and mystical about bridges, no wonder people are drawn to them... crossing over, going to another side - it's all full of symbolism!
    I do love your outfit here! I love that you show different sides of your personality with your outfits - sweet, feminine and romantic or, like here, energetic, moody and edgy. Very stylish! <3

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

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
