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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #39- STJEPAN FORTRESS BLAGAJ (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share another destination painting of mine. You know what that means- it's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post! Today I'm taking you to Herzeg Stjepan Kosaca fortress. This stunning historical fortress overlooking Blagaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sight to behold. Trying to capture its magical beauty in a painting was a challenge!  The medium for this painting is acrylic paints on cotton canvas. The painting process was actually quite long and tedious. I've worked on this painting since Autumn and I only finished it towards the end of Summer. I rushed the painting towards the end, because I wanted to participate in the joint artist exhibition. There was a submission deadline to meet, so I submitted this canvas not feeling confident it's actually finished. If you happen to visit Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you'll be able to see my painting hanging in the Stjepan Kosača gallery for the next
