BEAUTIFUL BAY LOZNA, CAPE KABAL (NEAR STARI GRAD)

Today we'll continue with my series devoted to finding the most beautiful bays on island Hvar. Despite spending much of my childhood on island Hvar, there are many of them that I had only discovered this year. On this particular day (some time last summer), we were driving away from Stari Grad town, trying to find new places and bays near it. We ended driving until we lost the radio signal. We drove for about 10 kilometers, until we came until the end of cape Kabal. There we discovered this beautiful bay Lozna. It is located on the northern side. Isn't it simply amazing? With nobody in sight, we had the beach all to ourselves. There isn't a single house in this bay. If you're looking for a perfect virginal beach, this is a great location. Actually, Lozna bay isn't the only bay with this name on island Hvar. There is another beautiful bay that shares the same name. I promise I'll take you to another Lozna bay but some other time. Scroll down to see more of this stunning bay that offers view of island Brač. 


WHAT I WORE- WHAT WE WORE
I wore a cherry print dress, a hand painted vintage tote bag, a hat and a pair of sandals. I also borrowed my husband's tee for some of these photos. Maybe you recognize the print of my t-shirt? It is my own painting. I ordered this t-shirt from a local printer. The last t-shirt with my art I ordered for my husband was from Redbubble site. Now, I'm trying out something new and ordering t-shirts with my art from a local printer. So far I'm satisfied with the quality. The t-shirts from Redbubble are of better quality as far as the print goes, but the local printer is more affordable and you can take t-shirt you already have to him. Well, that's more sustainable than having new t-shirt manufactured for the purpose of printing. Let me know if you would want a more detailed review and experience. As you know, I put my art in shops in some of these printing online companies but I'm not affiliated in any way to any of them.

    How utterly stunning is that bay, and it must have been wonderful having it all to yourself. Reading your blog, I really believe Island Hvar has an endless supply of picturesque places like this. It's lovely to see your wonderful cherry print dress again, as it always puts a smile on my face. I'm loving the hat with the scarf tied around it too. Obviously I am in awe of your book bag (so true) and I did recognize the print on that t-shirt. It's good that you have been experimenting with finding more sustainable ways to have your art printed on t-shirts. And finally, I love that photo of you and your husband! Wishing you a lovely week ahead, Ivana! xxx

    That bay is absolutely stunning, it's so like a beach I adore in Corfu with crystal clear water and honeyed pebbles. Lovely to see you both together, too.
    I'm glad you've found a printer who can print your designs on tee shirts you already own. Jon loves printed tees and keeps saying he wants to try one of those home printing transfer kits so he can add his own designs. xxx

    Wow, what a beautiful place! And the absence of crowds makes it even nicer. There are many places we overlook despite spending time near them. It's smart, as you are doing, to explore all around us. Plus, the cherry-print dress is adorable. You're as pretty as a model in an advertisement.

    Hello Ivana,

    So cool that you're still able to enjoy some days at the coast, that's magnificent! Here the temperatures fell immediately and we had to pull of some jackets to survive the first days of rain and cold temperatures.

    I love how breathtaking is Lozna bay, the color of the water is so clear and magical that it almost feels like a fairytale or something impossible to believe.

    PS: So nice that you picked the cherry garment to add a little bit of colorful contrast to the scenario that day!

    Oh my goodness, I feel like I'm always repeating myself when you do these posts, but what a gorgeous place you live in, Ivana! It really looks like home to me - how funny that the west coast of Canada is so similar to Island Hvar!

    I enjoy your cherry dress - so fun! Glad you have found a local resource for your art-print tees!

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

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!

 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

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
