Fashion illustration of the day (my fifth blogging anniversary) / Modna ilustracija dana ( peta godišnjica moga bloga)


Yesterday I celebrated five years of blogging- kind of. You see I didn't actually celebrate it because I forgot about it. I did, however, published my first post after many months of not being able to blog (here is why). So, perhaps I did celebrate it- I just wasn't aware of it. Five years of blogging. Five years! I can scarcely believe it has been so long.



Jučer sam proslavila pet godina bavljenja blogom- na neki način. Vidite baš i nisam proslavila zato jer sam zaboravila na godišnjicu. No, ono što sam napravila je da sam objavila prvu objavu nakon što mjesecima nisam uspjela ništa objaviti (ovdje možete pročitati zašto). Pet godina bloga. Pet godina. Jedva mogu vjerovati da je prošlo toliko.

I don't know if you can notice, but the illustrated girl is actually holding a book titled Donna con te.  I often draw ladies with books in their hands. It must be because I'm such a bookworm. Anyhow, there is no such book (as far as I know), but there is a well known song from the nineties, composed by Danilo Amerio and Luciano Boero and sang/performed by Anna Oxo. That was actually my inspiration and who knows? Maybe some day someone will write a book called Donna con te. In case you didn't hear it before, it is a beautiful romantic song, one of my favourite ones. In case you are a a woman, I would like to know : who and what makes you feel like a woman?

Ne znam možete li primijetiti, ali djevojka na ilustraciji drži knjigu na kojoj piše Donna con te. Često crtam dame koje drže knjige u rukama. Mora biti jer toliko volim čitanje. Uglavnom, takva knjiga ne postoji (koliko znam) ali postoji poznata pjesma iz devedestih, pjesma koju su skladali Danilo Amerio i Luciano Boero a koju izvodi/pjeva Anna Oxo. To je zapravo bila moja inspiracija i tko zna? Možda će jednoga dana netko napisati knjigu koja će se zvati Donna con te. U slučaju da niste čuli, to je predivna romantična pjesma, jedna od mojih najdražih. U slučaju da ste žena, voljela bi znati- tko i što vas navodi da se osjećate kao žena?

To celebrate my fifth blogging anniversary, I'm giving away this fashion illustration. As you can see, I actually cut out this fashion illustration. I think these things are super practical as you can match them up to any background. This blue and black gown is a product of my imagination, I didn't use any reference for it. The medium is coloured pencils and markers on paper. The first person who leaves a comment saying they want this illustration, will be the person who receives it. The giveaway starts immediately, there is no deadline and it ends with the first comment- whenever that might be.

 Kako bih proslavila petu godišnjicu bloganja, poklanjam ovu modnu ilustraciju. Kao što možete vidjeti, to je izrezana modna ilustracija. Mislim da su takve jako praktične jer ih možete uskladiti sa bilo kakvom podlogom. Ova crno plava haljina je izašla iz moje mašte, nisam se u nešto posebno ugledala. Medij su bojice i markeri na papiru. Prva osoba koja mi ostavi komentar kojim kaže da želi ovu ilustraciju će je i dobiti. Darivanje odmah počinje, a nije ograničeno vremenom, to jest traje dok netko ne ostavi komentar.

I also look forward to many more years of reading your blog. I've been mia from my blog for a while as well and I'm so sorry to read that you've been unwell.

It's gorgeous! A product of your imagination? THIS IS TALENT at its best. It makes for a great give away and I'd love to win the giveaway, why not.

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 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
