I WEAR MY PAINTINGS, STYLING A GRAPHIC TEE IN STARI GRAD

Today I have another autumn proposal featuring a graphic t-shirt. The print on this graphic t-shirt is a mixed media painting made by yours truly. Originally it was a watercolour painting of mine, but I transformed it into a digital art piece and uploaded it to my redbubble shop. However, the printed shirt I'm wearing today is from a local printer, not from RB. I was quite satisfied with the graphic t-shirts (with my art) that I ordered for my husband at this local printer, so I ordered some for myself. It is important to support local businesses in these times.  A graphic tee is always a fun choice and a great way to dress down an outfit. Graphic tees are perfect to add rock or biker chic to our outfits. I wore this graphic t- shirt with a dusty pink skirt, a burgundy jacket, a tote bag and my 'to go' biker boots. All items I have had for a while and worn on this blog a number of times (because shopping our closets is the best way to be sustainable). This proved to be such a comfy styling and I enjoyed wearing it. Plus, I realized how great is to have one's own art printed. You get to wear colours you mixed and created yourself- how fun is that? I like how the pink tones on this space princess design match this pink skirt.

VISITING STARI GRAD TOWN- TRYING OUT RESTAURANT KOD BARBA LUKE
I wore this outfit for a visit to Stari Grad town. It was a sunny but somewhat windy day so this outfit proved perfect for sightseeing. We also stopped for lunch at a local restaurant Kod barba Luke (not a sponsored link) where I (besides a tasty lunch lunch) had their famous dessert - the wild orange cake. It was great! I imagine it would be great to have a glass of sweet wine with a cake like this one, but as I don't drink alcohol I had an espresso instead.

BAY BRIZENICA NEAR STARI GRAD, ISLAND HVAR
Before strolling around Stari Grad, we also went hunting for new bays near Stari Grad town and discovered a gem. It is my mission to discover the most beautiful bays on island Hvar. It is proving more challenging than I thought. Almost weekly, I discover some stunning bay with enchanting views and crystal clear water.  So many gorgeous bays, so little time! I can't believe there are so many bays on island Hvar that I didn't know of. Having spent a good portion of my childhood here, I thought I knew more about this place that I did. I didn't know there was so much to do and see here. I think that you need a whole year to properly see this island, or at least two months. 
Anyhow, Brizenica bay is absolutely magical. I'm so happy I visited this bay while it is still untouched  by any construction work and completely wild and natural, because there are investors who plan to build a luxurious hotel resort here.  I heard that this area was purchased by the Four Seasons group, so I'm not sure how long it will continue to be a virgin beach and bay.  Brizenica bay absolutely enchanted me. This bay has great protection against the wind, the sun hits just at the right angle so I was able to take of my boots and do some barefoot hiking. That's Autumn in Croatia for you. Wear a jacket but be ready to take it off.

    The "space princess" t-shirt turned out really well, and I love how you combined it with your dusty pink skirt, burgundy jacket and biker boots. The perfect outfit to visit both Stari Grad town and Brizenica bay. I can't believe you found yet another gem of a bay and, following your blog, I can well believe it would take at least a couple of months to fully explore Island Hvar. No wonder you are making the most of the time you are living there. The wild orange cake you had as dessert looks truly scrumptious, and as I do not drink alcohol either, I would have opted for espresso as well! Wishing you a great week ahead, Ivana xxx

    I'm really sad to hear that about the luxury hotel- why do they have to monopolize any beautiful place- why not let it stay natural and beautiful and allow small businesses to enjoy it. Your t-shirt is lovely- I like the spacey background of it and her funky space dust dress! So pretty!x

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

 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...

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

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...

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...
