VRBOSKA VILLAGE AND BEACH SOLINE

I feel like you can't go wrong with a printed dress for summer. If you choose a summery print, such as floral, tropical or fruit print, you can be sure to manifest those summer vibes. A comfortable but cute summer printed dress is a fantastic choice for summer,  especially when it comes to sightseeing and spending a day at the beach. Today I'm taking you with me to the charming village of Vrboska. We're also visit one of the most beautiful beaches in Vrboska and that is Soline. Let's get started!

HR Čini mi se kako nije moguće pogriješiti noseći haljinu sa uzorkom za ljeto. Ako odaberete letnji print, poput cvjetnog, tropskog ili voćnog printa, možete biti sigurni da ćete manifestirati te ljetne vibracije. Udobna, ali simpatična ljetna haljina s printom fantastičan je izbor za ljeto, posebno kada je riječ o razgledanju i provođenju dana na plaži. Danas vas vodim sa sobom u šarmantno selo Vrboska. Posjetimo i jednu od najljepših plaža u Vrboskoj, a to je Soline. Započnimo!

WHAT I WORE- THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT-SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES

I like to link up the previous 'blog' wears for my clothing items because it seems like a good way to promote sustainability and shopping one's own closet.  Plus, it is fun to look back sometimes.

THE CHERRY PRINT DRESS is an old favourite. There are many ways to style a cherry print dress for example, here is another summer look. If you want to see other suggestions you can check out this post where I wore this dress with a yellow bag to make it pop even more, or this post where I paired it with an oversize hat and kitten heels to make it more sophisticated and lady like. Here is a similar outfit, but with wedges. If you are the type that loves  perky accessories, check out this post where I wore this dress with hand made cat ears. 

THE COLOURFUL SCARF is another old and treasured items. See how I  styled it here, here and here.

THE VINTAGE BROWN MINI BAG is also a cherished favourite. A friend of mine bought it in a vintage shop for me. You can see how I styled it with a mustard dress here. 

THE TROPICAL PRINT SANDALS. This pair is so comfortable- see how I styled them before. See how I styled them here , here, here , here , here and  here. 

    VRBOSKA- LITTLE VENICE ON ISLAND HVAR

Vrboska is nicknamed Little Venice for a reason. This beautiful picturesque fishing village is a dream to stroll. I actually walked all the way from Jelsa on this particular day. I love that walk. It's about 6 km  long walk but it feels less long because the views are so stunning you easily forget that you're walking. I won't get into details because I've already blogged about Vrboska a number of times, so not to repeat myself here are links to my previous posts about this charming village here, here, here,  here and here (feel free to check those old posts of mine) to find out more about this beautiful place.

HR- VRBOSKA- MALA VENICIJA NA OTOKU HVARU

Vrboska s razlogom nosi nadimak Mala Venecija. Ovo lijepo slikovito ribarsko mjesto idealno je za šetnju. Zapravo sam na taj dan pješačila iz Jelse. Volim tu šetnju. Otprilike je 6 km duga, ali čini se manje jer su pogledi toliko zapanjujući da lako zaboravljate sve otalo. Neću ulaziti u detalje jer sam već više puta pisala o Vrboskoj na svom blogu, tako da se ne ponavljam poveznice na moje prethodne objave o Vrboskoj možete pogledati u engleskom dijelu teksta. 

BEACH SOLINE, VRBOSKA ISLAND HVAR

The moment has finally come for me swim in the sea and explore beach Soline. I swam there a total of three times this summer. For my first visit this summer, this is what I wore:  a dark floral dress and an wide brim hat. I think I also wore my beige driving loafers but they were not captured on camera as I was barefoot most of the time so I cannot tell for sure. Anyhow, beach Soline is an absolute dream. The sea is so clear and warm. I love it there. However, the last time I was there it was already getting a but too crowded for my liking so I'm not sure I'll continue my visits. Maybe I should go there really early in the morning before there are others. Every time I was there this summer, there were a few sailing boats and yachts in vicinity. I mean can you blame them? The same goes for the increasing number of visitors. It is only to be expected. If you remember, I often visited beach Soline in the winter (read more here). This beach was definitely love at first sight for me. I always knew it was too beautiful and too easily accessible for it  not to be popular and frequently visited.

HR Konačno je stigao trenutak za plivanje u moru i posjet plaži Soline u tu svrhu. Plivala sam tamo ukupno tri puta ovo ljeto. Za svoj prvi posjet ovog ljeta, obukla sam tamnu cvjetna haljina i široki šešir (poveznice za odjevne kombinacije sa tim komadima su u engleskom dijelu teksta). Mislim da sam nosila i bež mokasinke za vožnju, ali nisu snimljene, jer sam bila bosonoga većinu vremena, pa ne mogu sa sigurnošću reći. U svakom slučaju, plaža Soline apsolutno je prekrasna. More je tako bistro i toplo. Obožavam biti tamo. Međutim, posljednji put kad sam bio tamo već je bila gužva  pa nisam sigurna da ću nastaviti posjete. Možda bih trebala otoći tamo rano ujutro prije nego što bude drugih. Svaki put kad sam bila u Solinama ovog ljeta, u blizini je bilo nekoliko jedrilica i jahti. Mislim, možete li ih kriviti? Isto vrijedi i za sve veći broj posjetitelja. Samo je za očekivati. Ako se sjećate, zimi sam često posjećivala plažu Soline. Ova plaža je bila definitivno ljubav na prvi pogled za mene. Oduvijek sam znao da je previše lijepa i lako dostupna da ne bi bila popularna i često posjećivana.

We also tried the local bar and had an espresso with the view of the sea. What a heavenly view! All this blue is making my soul sing. Beach Soline is a truly beautiful place. When you google it, pay attention. This is actually not the only bay named Soline in Croatia, there is another one but that one isn't located on island Hvar so don't forget to type Vrboska as well. Another tip is enjoying a shadowy walk. This beach is very to the sun. It is located in a great spot and the sun hits it during all day. At the same time, there is also a lot of natural shade around. The pine tree forest will offer you all the shade you need. Walking by the sea and breathing in the scent of the sea and pine trees....is there anything more relaxing? So, when you visit bay Soline on island Hvar, don't forget to walk around and explore the area  on foot.  Vrboska definitely has a lot to offer so why not take advantage of it all? 

HR Isprobali smo i lokalni bar te popili espresso s pogledom na more. Kakav nebeski pogled! Sve to plavo čini da moja duša pjeva. Plaža Soline zaista je lijepo mjesto. Kad ga google obratite pažnju jer ovo zapravo nije jedina uvala Soline u Hrvatskoj, postoji još jedna koja se ne nalazi na otoku Hvaru, pa ne zaboravite utipkati Vrboska. Još jedan savjet je uživanje u sjenovitoj šetnji. Ova je plaža vrlo sunčana. Nalazi se na izvrsnom mjestu i sunce ga udara tijekom cijelog dana. Istodobno, okolo je i puno prirodne hladovine. Šuma borove šume ponudit će vam svu potrebnu hladovinu. Šetnja uz more i disanje mirisom mora i borova .... postoji li nešto opuštenije? Kada posjetite zaljev Soline na otoku Hvaru, ne zaboravite prošetati i istražiti područje pješice. Vrboska definitivno ima što ponuditi, pa zašto ne iskoristiti sve to?

Thank you for reading and stopping by. Take care and stay safe.
