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 ...

Sights to see, Places to visit ( +outfit post) / Znamenitosti za vidjeti, Mjesta za posjetiti (+odjevna objava)

Image
This lake you see is artificial in origin but that doesn't make it less impressive.  If you ever visit Mostar, I recommend you visit this lake. It is situated in the vicinity of the city. Peaceful and serene atmosphere, birds and other animals to observe, beautiful nature, magnificent mountain views.... ...what is there not to love? Ovo jezero koje vidite je umjetno, ali ga to ne čini manje impresivnim. Posjetite li ikad Mostar, savjetujem vam da posjetite i ovo jezero. Nalazi se u blizini grada. Mirna i umirujuća atmosfera, ptice i druge životinje za promatrati, prekrasna priroda, veličanstveni pogled na planine. ...Što bi se tu moglo ne voljeti? POST UPDATE 2024: ADDING NEW RELEVANT LINKS I ILLUSTRATED THIS LAKE BACK IN 2018. I MEAN IT'S JUST A QUICK  watercolour sketch, but who knows. I might be inspired to paint this place. This illustration was more a fashion illustration with a background. I felt like adding a background to my fashion illustration. This b...

Without make up( outfit post)/ Bez šminke (odjevna objava)

Image
I've always adored nautical prints, so when I saw this wonderful dress at Mana ,  it was a case of love at first sight. Pairing it with my white Peko sandals seemed like an obvious thing to do. I'm not so sure about the bag (gift from friends).  I do think this outfit would look more dressed up if it was paired with a more classical bag. That being said,  I really do like this tropical print on the bag and I guess I just like to bring in the element of unexpected. What else to say about this styling? Instead of a belt, I tied a colourful scarf around my waist and later on when the sun set (it was setting as these photographs were being taken) I used that scarf to cover my shoulders. Thank you for sweet comments about my drawing and the words I choose to accompany it. Often when I'm drawing or illustrating, the words just appear on their own but really they do tend to show what has been on my mind lately. Uvijek sam voljela nautične uzo...

The importance of shoes (WIWT) / Važnost cipela ( i što sam danas nosila)

Image
 If you change a pair of shoes, you have changed the whole outfit. Wear sneakers to dress an outfit down, but wear elegant shoes to dress it up. Sometimes it is as simple as that. This is what I wore today. It was a sunny and beautiful day , so I wanted to take advatage of it to show you more ways to style these pants . Thanks to my photographer, I managed to do it.  Promijenite li par cipela, promijenili ste cijelu odjevnu kombinaciju. Nosite tenisice da biste kombinaciju učinili ležernijom, a  elegantne cipele da je učinite dotjeranom. Ponekad je tako jednostavno. Ovo sam danas nosila. Bio je sunčan i divan dan, pa sam ga htjela iskoristiti da vam pokažem još načina za nositi ove hlače . Zahvaljujući svom fotografu, to sam i uspjela.  shirt/ košulja: no name, nije markirana pants/ hlače:  CNdirect   minibag/ torba:  Dresslink  shoes/ cipele: no name, nije markirano HOW TO WALK ON ROCKY TERRAIN IN PLATFORM STIL...

TWO SPORTY FLORAL OUTFITS FEATURING STRIPED STARTAS SNEAKERS

Image
Hello, how are you doing? How is Autumn treating you? Unfortunately, I cannot say that I'm doing very well. I'm dealing with a lot of chronic pain due to Chron illness. Getting medical help in the pandemic is not easy. Those of you who have chronic and immune illnesses know what I'm talking about. Not an easy time for us. I might have to take a break from blogging (or blog less often) as I'm really exhausted from being in pain most of the time.   Moving onto brighter subjects. Today I will share two destinations perfect for strolling and two 'strolling friendly' outfits with you. Čapljina and Buna are great destinations for strolling around, walking and hiking. Both of them are in Herzegovina.  I'll share two sporty floral outfits with you, both of them featuring an iconic pair of Startas sneakers. I love this Croatian brand. I'm pretty sure I'm over 30 wears with this pair of sneakers so I might devote a post to them some time in the future, showing...
