PUFFED PINK DRESS (OUTFITS, ILLUSTRATIONS & RUNAWAY INSPIRATION)

This morning while I was browsing  Pinterest, I came across a fuchsia runway look that made me think. The look in question was a gorgeous fuchsia sequin dress ( look 25 from Cristian Cowan Spring 2020 Resort Collection).  I believe this is the first look by this designer that really caught my eye, I wasn't familiar with this brand before. Anyhow, I remembered that I have a puffed sleeved fuchsia  mini dress in my closet as well. Mine is not sequin like Cowan's creation, but it does have some similarities with it. Seeing that photograph made me realize that I have recently illustrated similar pink dress looks using Paint 3D to edit my fashion illustrations. Suddenly I wanted to do this post where I would show you five ways to style a fuchsia puffed sleeve mini dress as well as my new fashion illustration. That's what I will be sharing with you today so scroll down to see more. 
USING PAINT 3D TO EDIT MY FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS: MY EXPERIENCES
Last Friday I showed you a couple of my fashion sketches that I coloured with the watercolour tool in Paint 3D. If you have followed my blog for a while, you probably know that I don't have much experience with digital art. I try editing my art with some digital tools and got some interesting results but that's just touch ups, not really digital art as such. Last weekend I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what possibilities there might be. One thing I like about using Paint 3D is that I can draw directly over my art. That makes the whole thing more easier. I can change the colours and the design slightly while still maintaining the original lines, proportions and feel of the painting. Interesting stuff. It's also good to make really fast sketches. Digital art is actually a lot alike regular art, you actually need to invest a lot of time and effort to get great results. That is probably why I avoided digital art so far, I was already keeping myself busy exploring the more traditional art mediums. Art definitely takes work. I'm looking forward to learning how to use this program properly. Have a look at the images bellow and tell me what you think.  Do you remember what this original watercolour  pencil painting looked like? How to do like the new versions?

    Sjajni predlozi. A što se tiče tvog, da ga tako nazovem ,,digitalnog crteža", odlično je i veoma mi se dopada. Divan post.💖

    That is so fun, that you've found a way to take your drawings to another level! Good for you for exploring that, and learning and experimenting!

    I love that dress - the sleeves are to die for! I like it best with the magenta long-sleeved tee under it - it gives it a very Renaissance feel. The colour is fabulous.

    Love that pink dress on you, I much prefer it to the catwalk insiration which, to my eye, is too short for those exaggerated shoulders and looks somewhat unbalanced. x

      Thank you. The one I have is also too short for my liking, that is why I always wear it with leggings.

    Hey Ivana, how you doing?! Hope you got the chance to celebrate your birthday even in isolation, thank you again for the lovely comment you shared with me on my latest blog post :)

    Oooh and cool to see more illustrations on your blog, I missed them cause you always offer something really catchy and with a creative twist :) I love that you picked a color that is so powerful and it totally makes a statement, actually there is a similar tone in Mexico and we call it "Rosa Mexicano" (Mexican pink) cause it is a bit of spicy jeje :)

    I loved the result and how you experimented with 3D, there is so much to do with the illustrations we already have and I'd love to see what else you can do with this possibility.

    Also I loved how you took inspiration from this to create your own OOTD. You look great in this color!

    All the best and stay safe,
    Pablo

    Like Vix, I absolutely prefer your dress to the one from the catwalk. It is such a great colour on you too, and I love all its incarnations, especially the one with the grey turtleneck and black leggings. I did think it was a solid colour, so it was a bit of a surprise to see the tiny dots in the close-up! Stay safe, my friend xxx

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment.

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...
