Fashion illustrations of the day (green dress, blue swimsuit) / Modne ilustracije dana (zelena haljina, plavi kupaći kostim)


Today I'm sharing two illustrations with you. The first one is combination of a painting and a drawing (mixed media watercolour and markers), while the other is a drawing but also mixed media one (coloured pencils and markers).  The style is a bit different than my usual illustration, but you know me- always mixing it up. The first illustration is that of a green dress with big sleeves. I do like the trends that came about this Spring. I'm a big fan of colour green so all these greenery vibes really make me happy. Not to say anything of the statement sleeves. I think this trend is here to stay. The second illustration depicts a summer outfit. I love illustrating swimsuits.  The location I had in mind for the second illustration is this one (just in case anyone is wondering). 


Danas sa vama dijelim dvije ilustracije. Prva je kombinacija slike i crteža (mješani medij: vodene boje i markeri), dok je druga crtež ali isto pomiješan medij (bojice i markeri). Stil je malo drugačiji od mojih uobičajenih ilustracija, ali znate mene, uvijek nešto novo uvodim. Prva ilustracija je slika zelene haljine sa velikim rukavima. Sviđaju mi se trendovi koji su se pojavili ovoga proljeća. Veliki sam obožavatelj zelene boje, tako da mi ovaj zeleni trend odgovara. Da ne kažem ništa o upečatljivim rukavima. Mislim da će se taj trend i održati. Druga ilustracija prikazuje ljetnu kombinacija.  Volim slikati kupaće kostime. Lokacija koju sam imala na pameti kada sam naslikala drugu je ova (u slučaju da se itko pita).

ARE YOU FEELING CREATIVE? HERE ARE 20 FUN   FASHION  IDEAS
In case you have decided to stay indoors, here are some fun fashion ideas you can do at home. 

1. BROWSE YOUR CLOSET AND FIGURE OUT WHAT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
This is something we should all do every so often because it helps us to familiarize ourselves with our closets and ultimately it can lead to us  shopping our closet's more effectively.  Shopping one's closet is one of the best things we can do for the environment. 



2. ORGANIZE AND CLEAN YOUR CLOSET
Organization can help when we want to maximize the clothes we own. I have to admit my closets are a mess sometimes. Fortunately, there is my blog to remind me of  clothing items to re- wear. Yes, I need to learn how to be more orderly.


3. IRON OR MEND YOUR CLOTHES
This is another of my own advice that I need to take. In fact, I plan on doing some mending tomorrow. Do you iron and mend your clothes regularly? Why not pick up something to mend this weekend? Do you know that beautiful delicate pleated dress that you've been meaning to iron for ages? Well, now might be the perfect time to do it. Do you know that sweater you adore but you keep forgetting there is a hole in it that you need to take care of? Do it now. If you have any blazers whose buttons have fallen out and need to be replaced, well this is the time to do it.



4.  LEARN HOW TO DO FASHION ILLUSTRATION AND/OR MAKE SOME FASHION SKETCHES
Have you always admired fashion illustrators? Why not learn more about it? I have ton of fun projects related with fashion illustrations on my blog. Go hit that search button on the right or follow some of my fashion illustration links bellow. 


5. WATCH ALL THE RUNAWAY SHOWS YOU WANTED BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO
If you're staying in this weekend, it might be a good time to watch all those fashion shows you didn't have the time to watch before. Sit back and enjoy some wonderful fashion designs. See both new and old fashion shows. Find inspiration. We can go into hibernation mood during winter, forgetting how fun winter fashion can be. You don't have to wait for spring, start wearing fun things now. Not that you cannot look forward to spring and this takes me to my next fashion idea. 


6. FIGURE OUT SPRING AND SUMMER FASHION, PREPARE YOURSELF IN ADVANCE
Why not use this weekend to prepare for spring and summer? Now, this doesn't have to have anything to do with trends. You may study the trends or just ignore them completely and think of your future spring and summer outfits. Whatever inspires you and gets your fashion mojo on. 


7. DIY FASHION PROJECTS,  PAINT ON CLOTHES OR MAKE ACCESSORIES FROM OLD CLOTHES AND SCRAPS
Nothing is better than some creative projects. Winter is a good time for DIY fashion projects. Why not try making something new and creative from things you have at home? If you're not creative, then look for help and inspiration online. There are a lot of creative people who don't mind sharing their ideas with you, you know.


8. READ FASHION MAGAZINES  AND FASHION BLOGS ONLINE
Obviously, while you're staying in, one of ways you can use your time is by reading fashion magazines and blogs. Maybe you already do it on everyday basis. Indulge in browsing fashion blogs this winter. 


9.  STUDY THE COLOUR ANALYSIS AND FIND FLATTERING COLOURS FOR YOURSELF
Colour theory is something always useful to know more about. Have you been interested in the colour theory but haven't managed to find the time? Why not figure out what are the best colours for you this weekend? Those long winter nights can be the perfect time to study and research the colour analysis and figure out what tonalities fit your skin and hair.



10. READ FASHION BOOKS
Reading fashion books is another fun fashion related thing to. I've blogged about some of my favourite fashion reads before, for example HOW TO BE PARISIAN WHEREVER YOU ARE? & LOVE X STYLE X LIFE




11. EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE HISTORY OF FASHION OR A PARTICULAR DESIGNER; DO SOME FASHION RESEARCH
Education is always a worthy pursuit. Why not use this time to learn more about the history of fashion or about some designer you always wanted to know more about? You can also research the possible future of fashion.


12. LEARN HOW TO SEW FOLLOWING ONLINE EDITORIALS
Why not learn how to sew? You can start with really easy stuff and work your way from there.  Don't underestimate yourself. Learning new things and developing new skills is always good for our well-being. Education and skills are worth investing in because it's something that can be taken away from us. Sewing is an useful skill and one can always advance in. Speaking of that, I need to learn more about sewing myself. 


13. TRY ON DIFFERENT HAIRSTYLES OR MAKE UP LOOKS
Why not experiment with different hairstyle or make up looks this weekend? You can finally learn to braid or curl your hair. You can try styling your hair in a variety of ways. Similarly, you can experiment with make up.


14. MAKE A FOLDER WITH ALL YOUR OLD OUTFITS AND STUDY THEM
One of the advantages of having a blog is that you basically have your own online diary. However, if you don't have a blog, you can consider making a folder on your computer and putting your best or worst outfits in there. Analyze your style and figure out what works for you. You can also make different folders for different styles and keep your fashion inspiration in there.


15. SIT DOWN AND ANALYZE YOUR STYLE, FIND YOUR INNER FASHION ANIMAL
Spending time at home can get boring so why not sit down and try to really analyze your style and clothes. How do your clothes make you feel and why? What is really important to you? How do you use clothes? Is there a style that makes you particularly happy? Is there a clothing item you love? You can learn a lot about yourself by analyzing your clothes. A bit of soul searching might be just what you need in times likes these.


16. RESEARCH SUSTAINABILITY IN FASHION AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT
You can also think about ways to make your fashion choices more sustainable. Read about it, write down notes and think about what strategies would work best for you.


17. WATCH FASHION DOCUMENTARIES AND FILMS
Take this time to watch fashion documentaries and films. There are some really good ones out there.


18. VISIT FASHION EXHIBITIONS ONLINE
There are many museums that are open for the option of virtual viewing and visiting if you are keen on staying in. Some of them have fashion exhibitions you can visit online (see more here).


19. CREATE YOUR OWN BEST DRESSED LIST FOR THE LAST DECADE
Write down your own best dressed list for the last decade.  It doesn't have to be about celebs. You can do one for yourself too or for your friends or for all of you. Turn it into a social game.


20. CREATE A FASHION QUIZ AND ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO TAKE IT
Create a fashion quiz and invite your friends to take it or make up a fashion game with them, why not?

    I see so many people rocking green, and the shade you used in the first sketch is really nice, I just have the hardest time wearing green. I'm trying to challenge myself to wear it more often as I do have a few green pieces in my wardrobe, but it's not easy for me like say blue or purple!

    Hope you have had a great weekend! :)

    Ivana, I like the green one... I like poofy sleeve myself and green is a pretty color... also that is cute purple sheer cover up over the bathing suit... very nice.

    I wanted to thank you so much for all the lovely comments you left on my blog, I was incredibly touched with how thoughtful and caring they were. I am sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I was in terrible pain and not able to write ... which was difficult for me... My doctor gave me a new prescription that seems to helping ease the pain... Finally I can get back to writing and blogging, I missed both a great deal ... I hope you have a lovely week ahead xox

    Green is such a great color and just screams life to me. It's that time of the year when we see it all over. I love the big sleeve trend too and believe it's not going anywhere anytime soon. These illustrations are so awesome Ivana. You know I'm art illiterate but I know a good piece when I see one. So much details covered especially in the bathing suit piece. You really need to take this talent to the next level. Kudos for work well done as always darling!

    I hope you enjoy a fab weekend. I am pooped with all the work and protocol for closing of school on Thursday but I'll try to enjoy my weekend regardless.

I always found it a little difficult to wear on me, but I do really like it on others. Perhaps I should change that! The dress in the first illustration is super beautiful. <3 Thank you for sharing your wonderful art with us! xoxo

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
