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

SUMMER TO AUTUMN TRANSITION 2024 (SPLIT CITY)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk about Summer to Autumn transition. It's actually one of my favourite seasonal transitions, because it allows us to easily play with layers and textures. Early Autumn is that magical time when you can wear a sweater or a light jacket over your summer dress and call it a day.  As the days get colder, we'll need more layering but we can still draw from that Summer inspiration.  How to keep Summer in our hearts even when the Autumn arrives? Well, think of all the positive things that you associate with Summer and then figure out how you can keep them in Autumn. That's what I'm trying to do for myself. Not to stress about the seasonal change, but rather to embrace it. For example, this particular post has been long in the making. I started it this Summer and planned to post about the summer outfits I wore while in Split city. However, as Summer turned to Autumn, I found myself with some new looks. So, I dec

THE WILD GIRLS, A STORY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello fellow bloggers and/or blog readers! In this post, I'll share my review for Ursula K. Le Guin short story The Wild Girls . Published in 2011, this powerful short story tells a touching tale of slavery , trauma , loss and survival. Sisterly love is at the core of this immensely sad, complex and profound story. If you want to read an intelligent and multifaceted story focused on female characters, and set in a dystopian society, look no further. Don't expect a happy ending, though! This is not that kind of story. I actually listened to this short story (that isn't so short, it sorts of feels like a novella). I planned to listen to it while I do Pilates, but I wasn't aware of how serious and tragic the story truly was. I've read an awful lot of Le Guin's writing, so I know her writing can be ambitious, complex and challenging. Still, I wasn't prepared for the complex sadness of this story.  Needless to say, I didn't finishing my Pilates routine that d

SHADOW AND BONE BY LEIGH BARDUGO (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo ,  the first novel in the Shadow and Bone trilogy. Published in 2012, Shadow and Bone is a young adult fantasy novel featuring a young female protagonist Alina Starkov who tries to find her way in a world troubled by war and class divisions. The novel is set in Ravka, a fantasy world inspired by feudal Russia, but still unique in its own way. The world Alina Starkov inhabits has its own mythology and magic, and the worldbuilding is quite interesting. For example, there are Grishas, people who have magical powers, that are partly based on study of science and partly on instinct. While the organization of power is feudal, with a corrupt monarch and nobility, there's mention of higher education and even science.  I actually got introduced to this series through listening to music on Youtube. I'm pretty sure I heard about this fantasy series (especially on  goodreads), but someho

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.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed
