A FLORAL VINTAGE SET FOR A VISIT TO BUNICA (NEAR MOSTAR)

How are you doing lovely people? Are you happy that the weekend is ante portas? Today I'll show you another Autumn styling featuring a vintage red floral set consisting of a matching skirt and blouse. Do you like wearing matching sets? It's a pretty colourful outfit I'm wearing here. Do you like wearing colours in Autumn and Winter? I do feel inspired to wear different colours in Autumn, maybe it is because of all the colour changes taking place in nature. Does that makes sense to you? One of the places where the change of season is wonderfully visible is area surrounding Buna river. In fact. The location for these photographs is Bunica recreation area near Mostar. You guys know that I love Buna river, right? I have blogged about this lovely area a number of times on my blog. You can read about and see more of my previous visits here, here, here, here , here , here , here, here, here , here , here , here and here (just click any of these links to see more of this gorgeous natural oasis near Mostar city).

Today I shall talk about styling a vintage short sleeved floral set for colder weather.  I rarely wear the blouse and the skirt  from this floral matching set together. In fact, I usually (for whatever reason) wear them as separates. Most of the time I wear this set in the warmer months. However, I wanted to challenge myself to wear this lovely set for colder weather because I needed a bit of colour infusion. It really wasn't that difficult. It's all about layering. I layered a pink long sleeved top under the floral blouse and a pair of leggings under the skirt. Over that I wore a warm long magenta coat and an oversize tartan scarf and a cozy beanie. I also wore a warm pair of brown boots and a stylish black bag. All of these items I've had for quite some time, so let's do a little link party, shall we?

    What a cute outfit, Ivana! I love vintage (as you know), but I've never found a matching top and bottom like this, so I'm totally envious! It really did fool me into thinking it was a dress! I love your winterized styling of it. Layers like thin sweaters/turtlenecks, and leggings and tights, can be life-savers for cold weather, as well as extending the wear period of our clothes.

    The colours and patterns are gorgeous, perfect for your outfits in this amazing scenery!

    I love the colors. I don't have anything nearly like it in my cheap wardrobe. I do have an floral tunic with Autumn colors I have been trying to wear more because of the season. I have several sweaters to try with it. I love that it is two pieces so you can mix this pieces even more. Love that you put some plaid with it too. Wonderful combinations. I am a fan of the pink spectrum!

    That co-ord (as the hipsters call them) looks absolutely wonderful worn together, a fantastic colour for the Winter and fabulous with your tartan scarf and tan leather boots. Loving the hat and sunnies, too - very glam! xxx

    Your vintage two-piece is delightful! I have several in my wardrobe, as I find them irresistible, but like you I hardly ever wear the two pieces together. I do, of course, love and wear colour in all seasons, and I really think people should wear more colour in the Autumn and Winter season, as the dark days upon us certainly need brightening. What better way to do that than by wearing colourful clothes? I'm definitely loving your two-piece worn with the magenta coat, magnificent tartan scarf and tan boots! You look totally gorgeous all layered up! xxx

    I love the burgundy layers with this! I totally thought this was a pretty floral dress, it's such a good set and I like how it makes it so versatile and gives you many different ways to wear it! :)

    Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend! We started putting up the Christmas decorations yesterday :)

    It's lovely how this matching set gives the feel/look of a dress when you style it together. I like matching sets even though I don't own any. And I'm definitely a fan of wearing color during the cooler months. When the weather is dreary you have to make your own sunshine and cheer ;)

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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

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.

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

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
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

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 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
