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!

    Your floral dress is beautiful and that's such a nice spot for photos too! :) I think florals can be worn year round, I definitely don't just reserve them for summer :)

    Hope that you had a wonderful weekend :) We had a birthday party for my eldest so it was a bit busy, but lots of fun.

    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 think such a floral dress looks very good in the simply why you are wearing it here and I can see that this outfit makes you happy - and the place, too! Thanks for sharing this beautiful post. You inspired me to wear one of my floral dresses soon :)

    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

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.

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

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

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
