I've put a lot of effort into blogging this February, I hope it shows. As far as the content goes, February was similar to January, mostly a mix of my illustrations and outfit posts (
here). This month I was full of positing ideas and I managed to make many of them happen. I feel pretty good about that. The only thing I feel bad about is making my blog monolingual and not using my other languages, but translating texts from English to other languages takes such a long time. It is so much easier to just write in English. Hopefully, I'll manage to change that and make my blog multilingual again. I need to organize my time better. Fingers crossed. For March I already have a few posts prepared. You can expect more art (mostly fashion illustrations) & outfit posts.
DIY PROJECTS
I shared two DIY projects in February, one about making a Barbie dress, the other was about how to paint a plant container. I don't have any DIY projects prepared for March, but I'm sure that I'll come up with something. Hardly ever a month goes by that I don't share a DIY project or two.
OUTFITS
I shared quite a few outfits this February. I also put some effort into writing and sharing some tips on keeping warm. My style hasn't changed drastically, but I've started to wear more neutral colours. I'm still a lover of bold colours and patterns, but as of late my outfits have become a bit less colourful. My favourite outfit of the month is the one with the denim skirt & leather jacket.
BOOK RECOMMENDATION
I only shared one book recommendation this month, but that is because I have another blog for that. If you want to read more of my book reviews, I can invite you to visit that other
blog. I didn't manage to do as much reading this February as I usually do, I think I only managed to read five or six novels. Granted some of those novels were quite long, but still in January I somehow managed to read more than a dozen books so I feel a bit unaccomplished in terms of reading. I need to plan my March reading time better. Technically speaking, February isn't over yet, so I hope I'll manage to finish
Gli Indiffrenti by Alberto Moravia by tonight and add another book to my February list.
ART
I shared a lot of my illustrations and paintings, so I will include just a selection of them in this recap. You can always visit my old posts if you want to see them all. I finally managed to open an online shop and I will probably continue uploading my art there.
SUPER TOP ! :D

A me sembra che Febbraio sia stato un mese molto produttivo! Hai fatto un sacco di cose a partire dai post sugli outfit (davvero belli questo mese) alle illustrazioni!
ReplyDeleteEd in più sei pure riuscita a leggere molto, almeno per i miei standard, io se riesco a leggere un paio di libri al mese è già tanto!
Continua così!!! :)
Baci!

ReplyDeleteThis is a really lovely February recap! I love that burgundy/pink/ciklama coat on you! :) xx
ReplyDeletethank you Nevena.
DeleteAll your 2018 posts to date have been outstanding. Each time I think oh thats my favorite and then you outdo yourself yet again. Your illustrations have also been getting better. Glad you were able to make the posts you planned and I look forward to the ones you have lined up for March.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it tricky when your non English readers can't understand. I believe I have the translate but I don't believe its very reliable and the message gets lost.
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and I wish you a great week ahead Ivana.

Yes, it is tricky. My blog was bilingual for such a long time, but translating from English took so much time that I eventually just gave up. Google translate isn't terribly reliable, especially when it comes to certain languages. For example, it translates pretty well from English to 4 or 5 similar European languages but with most languages, it is not reliable at all.
DeleteAll the post you have published in February were fantastic. You give your hundred percent for your work and it shows clearly. I'm very happy to find a talented fellow like you. Keep it up!
ReplyDelete😘😘😘.
Visited after a long time after the injuries. I'm still recovering. Hope will find well soon. Have a great Monday! Kisses 😘😘

DeleteYour creativity and productivity are always inspiring and I am impressed by anyone who is bilingual (or multi-lingual. Do you think that your shift to wearing less colour is seasonally related? Some people like more colour in winter but I tend to wear less. I feel more comfortable mimicking nature rather than going against it, so my colours get more saturated and I wear more colour in general in summer when there is bright sunlight, flowers, bright blue skies etc. There are a variety of reasons for my settling into a preference for wearing less colour but I am curious about yours. Perhaps you don't yet know and perhaps it is only temporary. xo
ReplyDeleteIt may be seasonally related. I used to love wearing more colour in winter but this year I was more attracted to neutral and dark colours. It might be temporary.
Deletethanks:)
ReplyDeleteЧудесное подведение итогов! Я нерегулярно комментирую, но очень люблю заглядывать в твой блог, мой дорогая - ты живешь интересной, насыщенной творческой жизнью, и мне нравится ее наблюдать!
ReplyDeleteЯ тоже пришла к выводу, что переводить с языка на язык - слишком затратно по времени (к тому же для меня еще и скучно - уж лучше тогда что-то новенькое на другом языке написать :)). Так что для меня "один блог - один язык" - вполне прекрасно.
Нравятся твои зимние фотографии, нравится твоя коллекция пальто! Это малинового цвета - просто чудесное!
С любовью,
Наташа
