Floral Dress For Summer: Keeping It Simple (Outfit proposal) + Revisiting Buna

Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying your weekend. The outfit I'm sharing with you today is all about this floral dress. I have had this dress for a while, and it has proven to be very versatile. I wear it pretty often because I simply love its vibrant  floral print. One of my favourite ways of styling it is wearing it with a skirt, but I'm always finding new ways to wear it and sometimes I just like to keep it simple. Speaking of which, you can see alternative ways to wear such a bold floral dress here, here and here. I already wrote about my love for florals a number of time. Sometimes when I wear a bold floral print, I like to keep the rest of the outfit more simple. That was the case today. I paired this floral dress with sandals. Floral print has been trending this spring, but I think we'll be seeing it this summer as well. Summer is approaching and it is perhaps the most relaxed of a seasons. I don't know why, but I feel like summer is a time when  you can get away with wearing pretty much anything.  Maybe it is because it is vacation season and it puts people into a different frame of mind. How about you? Do you think we can get away with more during the summer? Are you looking forward to summer? Do you have your vacation planned already?

Besides the outfit, today I'm taking you back to one of my happy places. I love to stop by for coffee at motel & restaurant Kolo, Buna. Not that I'm advertising this place, but it is really lovely.  It is very hard not to feel happy surrounded by amazingly beautiful Bunica river. Every time I'm here I need to pinch myself to make sure it's real. It looks like an episode from National Geographic or something like that. This place is also very close to Mostar city, so I really have no excuse not to visit often. It hasn't been long at all since my last visit (read that post here) and seeing how wonderful the surrounding is, can you blame me? Plus, I love socializing with the ducks here. They are so accustomed to me, that some of the run (or swim) to me as soon as they see me. One duck was even asleep right next to me while I was having my photograph taken. I almost missed it, because its feather allow it to blend perfectly. This duck obviously felt very at peace by our side. I do love animals and I think animals sense that. That is why in most cases they love me back. I cannot tell you how many people got annoyed with me because their pet started to ignore them once I came to visit. But what can I do? It's hardly my fault if animals like me.

    Ivana, you look beautiful in this floral print dress. This style definitely suits you. Also, this place is beautiful. I have never heard of it before. It looks so relaxing and peaceful, a great place for a vacation for sure. Animals can sense certain things about people. I think we have a special connection to animals. If an animal likes you, I think that's a good sign. Can't wait to see your next post dear and I hope you are feeling good these days!

    You can't go wrong with a floral dress. That is a gorgeous pattern and the wrap silhouette is so classic and feminine. What a lovely spot to enjoy the lovely weather. Yes I also feel like anything goes during the summer months.

    I remember seeing this floral dress outfit on LOOKBOOK a few days ago, and I LOVE it! This dress is nicely complimented by these sweet sandals. A cute pair of platform wedge pumps or sandals would also look great with this. Maybe even some chic high-heel boots as well. Anyhow, you look lovely! Not to be outdone- this setting is very nice.

    I love your dress and how very feminine you look in this outfit and the duck! Hahahah, the duck slept next to you is the best part of this. I sense that about you and the animals. I think it is the biggest compliment from Nature to have all kinds of animals wanting a piece of the space next to you. Like the birds that were flying so close like butterflies to you in the other post I commented. Your energy must be very peaceful and loving because animals sense that. I love your smile and how you just love animals. This place is so tranquil, I would so love to just sit there by the ducks and appreciate :D <3

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

Image
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

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

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? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

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
