FASHION ILLUSTRATION AND OUTFIT OF THE DAY: AUTUMN STYLING

Happy December! The final month of the year 2020 is here. How do you feel about that?  How are you doing? Today I will share with you an illustrated autumn styling.  The medium for this fashion sketch is coloured pencils on paper and as you can see I illustrated one of my own outfits. I've been drawing a lot lately, as you will probably have a chance of seeing on this little digital space of mine, so stay posted for new art. It's getting colder so today I'm wearing all my winter gear again: the cozy knit beanie and the oversize scarf, a warm long coat and high boots. It's still Autumn but it's cold, so this could have been a winter styling as well. Scroll down to see the making of this fashion drawing and more details about the illustrated outfit.

THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT AND HOW I WORE IT BEFORE

I love coloured coats for Autumn and Winter, they are always fun to wear and are wonderful for infusing colour into ones wardrobe. This time I paired my magenta coat with winter accessories (as I did the last time I wore it!). Underneath my coat I wore a pretty princess pink dress with statement sleeves and a turtleneck. I always wear leggings (or tights) with dresses when it gets colder so that goes without saying. I finished the look with a burgundy bag. Nothing is new about this outfit, these are all items I've had for some time. You know, just having fun shopping my closet. 

THE KNIT BEANIE- last worn here. THE MAGNENTA COAT- last worn here. THE PUFFED SLEEVED PINK DRESS - last worn here. THE WINTER PRINT TURTLENECK- worn here. THE BURGUNDY BAG- worn here. THE BROWN BOOTS- first worn here

These photographs were taken in front of Mostar's catholic cathedral. You can read more about this cathedral in this post. That would be all for today. I'll keep this post short and sweet. 


As always, thank you for stopping by. Have a nice start of the week!

    That bright coat is so beautiful on you and you capture the look with the pretty neutral scarf so perfectly in your illustration too :)

    Hope that your week is off to a great start! We spent the day shopping with my sister yesterday, it was so much fun :)

    Jako mi se sviđa boja i kroj tvog kaputa kao i kako si ga stilizirala. Kombinacija sa smeđim nijansma je savršena za jesen. Svaki put se oduševim tvojim ilustracijama, ti si nevjerovatno talentirana i s lakoćom preneseš bilo koji outfit ili prizor na papir.

    This is actually my favourite of your fashion illustrations so far! The pose is very dynamic, especially with the movement of the scarf. The colours pop and it's just a very cool image.

    It's bright and sunny here but cold - 6 degrees mid-day, brrrr!

    I love how you've captured the movement of the scarf in your artwork, it's a fabulous drawing!
    The coat is a lovely colour, such a nice change from the ubiquitous greys and blacks everyone seem to embrace in the UK.
    I have no problem with December - it's my birthday month although being in the highest restrictions in England I won't be spending it in my usual way. Oh well, maybe next year! xxx

    Hi Ivana,

    I'm loving this fashion illustration very much, especially how you captured the movement of that scarf, which is making it very dynamic.
    Your "real life" outfit is gorgeous too. Nothing beats the Winter blues than wearing colour does! Your coat is just fabulous, and I love how your jumper's sleeves peek out from its three-quarter sleeves, adding yet another pattern and texture to your outfit! I hope your week is going well? xxx

    Hey dear Ivana,

    I'm taking a look at the posts I missed.... actually I was coming back from another blog post where I told you that you should illustrate yourself for these daily tasks and I found this.... haha such a coincidence that our minds were connected.

    Great result! I love both the outfit and how you took it to the paper with the tones, this is definitely a good option for autumn and I always say it is better to add some color to these cold seasons :D

    The turtleneck seems lovely, ideal for these days where you want to stay cozy but without saying goodbye to the style!

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

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!

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

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
