SPLIT CITY UPDATE SUMMER 2020: VINTAGE BLAZERS

Thank you so much for all your kind messages. I'm feeling better today, it seems like the migraine attack is finally over (fingers crossed). Today I will share two outfits with you, both of them featuring  borrowed vintage blazers. In addition, I'll share two cute spots to visit in Split city if you're feeling like grabbing something to eat or drink. My last post was also about Split city so check it out for more info.
HR Hvala vam svima na porukama podrške. Danas se osjećam bolje, čini mi se da je migrena konačno prošla (barem se nadam). Danas ću podijeliti dvije odjevne kombinacije s posuđenim vintage blajzerima. Uz to, pokazat ću vam dva slatka mjesta u Splitu koja možete posjetiti ako želite otići na pauzu za jelo, kavu ili času vina. Moja zadnja objava bila je o Splitu pa je pogledajte za više informacija.
RESTAURANT ASIA IN SPLIT 3 NEIGHBORHOOD
You might remember Asia restaurant behind me. I already wrote about it in this restaurant review post.  As I said back then, this Asian restaurant is located in my old neighbourhood Split 3 (address: street Poljička cesta 39 ). We dinned there twice since March and many times in the past. Long shorty short, I still recommend paying it a visit. Speaking of Asian restaurants, I'm also a regular visitor both  in the other Chinese restaurant in vicinity (Pearl of Orient, address: street Jurja Dobrile 1). Last time I dined there was last week. I don't visit Split as often as I did in the past because of this whole virus situation but when I do, I pay these restaurants a visit. Split 3 is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Split city. I just love its modern architecture and as you can see the dining options are pretty good as well. 
THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT PLUS DIGITAL FASHION ILLUSTRATIONS
I made some new fashion illustrations by painting over some of my old ones. You know that I've started doing a bit of digital fashion illustrating. Not using any fancy computer programs yet, only Paint 3D so far. I love how it allows me to edit and paint on illustrations I already made. It also a nice way to still do art even when I can't afford any new art supplies or don't have them with me or lack the time to order some. Let's get back to the outfit. I redid my fashion illustrations to fit the vibes of this look.
A GREEN VINTAGE BLAZER WORN WITH A FLORAL SKIRT
I feel like this outfit is giving my nineties and eighties vibes at the same time. There was no label on this blazer but I know it's vintage because I remember it from way back. I actually borrowed it from my mother's closet. It is part of a suit, but the skirt was too big for me (despite the fact that I gained something like 20 pounds since corona started).

WHERE TO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE WITH A VIEW? DVOR RESTAURANT
I wrote about Dvor restaurant a few years back (you can read the original post here). Dvor is a lovely restaurant and cafe bar in Split city. I haven't dined there yet myself, I only tried their desserts but I can definitely recommend Dvor as a place to have a drink and desserts. Stop there to enjoy the view and have yourself a cup of coffee, juice, a glass of wine (depending on your preference) or beer. Once I dine there, I'll let you know how  it went. I always forget to plan a dinner there and only remember to shop there when I walk past it. Typically I visit it between meal times, so I just order coffee there. You know me, a coffee addict if there ever was one.  Plus, I don't drink alcohol for health reasons, so wine is not an option for me. That's a shame because their wine list is amazing. The last time we were there I checked it and I recognized many of the names on the list. They offer a lot of wines from island Hvar. Anyhow, this is a great place to relax.
 A NAVY VINTAGE BLAZER WORN WITH A GREY DRESS
As for my outfit, I wore a vintage blazer from Varteks (a high quality clothing company from Croatia). I borrowed this blazer from my mother's closet. I have always loved Varteks (neither a sponsored nor an affiliated link) but they remain out of my price range. If there comes a day I can afford them, I'll shop away until then I'll only wear their blazers when I borrow them. 


Thank you so much for visiting and commenting. Have a lovely day!

    Hi Ivana, I'm sorry to hear you have had migraine attacks but glad you are feeling much better now. I love vintage clothes and both blazers are definite keepers. Both compliment you very well. I love that most people love a Chinese takeaway, something I'd never give up lol. Your illustrations are fantastic as always. Glad you are enjoying the 3D painting. Take care : ) xo

    I like your vintage blazers very much! The green one is so vibrant and it looks super with the pinky floral skirt. I missed reading about the migraines, sorry to hear about that. That's awful.
    I really like Chinese restaurants- my favourite cuisine after Thai! I love the food so much!

    Dear Ivana, I'm relieved to read you're feeling better. Migraine can be so bad and only those people who suffer on migrain know this. I love your vintage blazers - and I ask myself if you can find a blazer in this green today? You combined them very well and I hope now that one day I'll be again able to visit these restaurants in Split.
    Please take care <3
    Liebe Grüße, Rena

    I love both your blazers! Varteks made some fantastic quality clothes, I occasionally come across their vintage mens suits in charity shops and they always sell well.
    Glad to hear that you're feeling better. xxx

      I wish we had charity shops here where one could come across such gems. We only have a few second hand shops here and they mostly sell imported clothes. :(

    Glad to hear your migraine attack has gone and you're starting to feel better. I hope the Summer holidays will give you time to relax and leave some of the stress you've been experiencing behind. Love both of your Mum's blazers you're wearing here. You really live in a most beautiful - and for many people unknown - part of the world. Thank you for being my guide! xxx

    So glad to hear your migraine attack is over, Ivana - those can be brutal. I've just come off a week of having my neck so tight I couldn't move it (massive headaches, and so much neck pain). It's the worst.

    Love your wonderful blazers. I think the neon one is late 90s (not too heavy on the shoulder pads). Love that navy one - you can always use a slightly oversized blazer!

    Good for you for visiting your local restaurants! They need your support!

      Hm, it is possible it in late nineties but I think I saw pictures of my mother wearing it in the eighties. I'm not entirely sure, I'd need to check it up with her.

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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

Image
KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

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...

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 ...

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. 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. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
