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

    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 ...

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

Image
 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...

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.

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...
