For the love of flowers...Za ljubav prema cvijeću....(Buna, BIH)

In my last post I showed you how flowers can play well with fashion illustrations. Today I'm going to show you how to wear a floral print in a casual way. I'm a big fan of a floral print for a number of reasons. One of them is certainly their eye-catching appeal. However, sometimes I feel like rocking the floral print in a more subtle way. Not every outfit needs to be a fashion statement, right? Sometimes we feel like taking it easy. How to dress florals down? What I like to do is  to wear one floral item with colours that are either more neutral or (and) those that are a nice match with the colour that is present on the floral item in question. When I want to wear florals without drawing too much attention to the look, I stay away from the flashy accessories and keep it simple. Anyhow, that's my way to make the floral print more appropriate for every day wear. If you're looking for more inspiration,  you can see how I styled this floral dress (yes, it's actually a dress/tunics) here and here.  The location for this photographs was Buna in Bosnia and Herzegovina...and don't think for a second I'm not aware of how beautiful this place is and how lucky I'm to live in such a beautiful area. 

U zadnjoj objavi sam vam pokazala kako se cvijeće može dobro slagati s modnim ilustracijama. Danas ću vam pokazati kako nositi cvjetni uzorak na ležerni način. Veliki sam obožavatelj cvjetnoga uzorka iz više razloga, a jedan od njih je sigurno njegova zamjetljivost. No, ponekad mi dođe da ga nosim na neki malo suptiliji način. Ne mora svaka odjevna kombinacija biti modna izjava, zar ne? Ponekad nam dođe da budemo malo opušteniji. Kako nositi cvjetni uzorak na ležerni način? Ono što se meni sviđa je kombinirati jedan odjevni predmet sa cvjetnim uzorkom s drugima koji su ili neutralne boje i/illi jedne od boja koje se slažu sa samim cvjetnim uzorkom. Kada mi se nosi cvjetni uzorak, a ne želim privući previše pažnje na kombinaciju, onda odustajem od previše primjetnih modnih dodataka i držim se jednostavnosti. Uglavnom, to je moj način za napraviti cvjetni uzorak više nosivijim svakodnevno. Ako želite još nadahnuća, možete vidjeti kako sam uskladila ovu cvjetnu haljinu (da, zapravo se radi o haljini/tunici) ovdje i ovdje. Lokacija za ove slike je Buna u Bosni i Herzegovini....i nemojte misliti da nisam posve svjesna kako sam sretna što živim u tako prekrasnom području.

    I think to pair this elegant yet casual outfit with those hiking(?) boots is a fashion statement and a very smart one, Ivana. You pull of this edgy look extremely well.

    Since florals are already busy well kinda, I agree with pairing them with solid items. While a great mixed print look is great, I also love this classic way of rocking florals. Your skirt is very cute, the color is perfection! You look very fresh and chic Ivana! Hope your weekend is going great.

    Preslatko ti stoje ovakve girly kombinacije! Cvetni print i ja volim i cesto nosim u ovim toplijim mesecima. Slazem se da kada se odlucimo za neki cvetni komad, ostatak kombinacije treba da je svedeniji i bez previse detalja.

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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju?

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 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
