11 WAYS TO STYLE A LBD

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you doing? Life seems to be coming back to normal slowly. Today I'll show you what I wore for a wedding in Herzegovina. The wedding was held in agricultural hotel and country house Marića Gaj. The wedding reception was a bit different because of the restrictions, but it all went well. My outfit was quite simple. You know what they say- when in doubt, wear a little black dress.  I wore a black A-line dress and a pair of leopard heels. I finished the look with a small black bag and a pair of earrings. Once again, I shopped my closet for this look. 



HOW I STYLED THIS DRESS BEFORE? 11 WAYS TO STYLE A LBD 
 I actually wore this cocktail dress a few posts ago (remember the outfit where I layered a white tunics under it). I got about eleven wears from it so far, not bad considering I had it for about two years. I'm sure I'll get to 30 wears eventually. It is one of those dresses that are easy to style up and down. When I want to wear it for a special occasion or a fancy date, I pair it with heels and blazers. On the other hand, when I want to wear it in a more casual way, then I pair it with sneakers or moccasins. 


Isn't it funny how I wore this dress for all kind of ocassions: from hiking to concerts and weddings. I think that's the best part about clothes- the stories we write with them. I always say that I'm sentimental when it comes to clothes. My favourite pieces are those that have some kind of history.  What styling do you like the most? I think my favourite styling is the one with the white tunics but I also like those layering outfits a lot. It is fun to layer, but it is also nice how in summer layering  suddenly becomes optional. I'm happy about the arrival of summer. Plus, there are ways to layer your dresses in summer as well. I believe I already covered that topic on this little blog of mine:IVANA'S GUIDE TO SUMMER LAYERING  PART ONE & PART TWO

Thank you for reading and visiting. Have a lovely day! I'm linking this look with Nancy's Fancy Friday Link up. Don't forget to join it yourself HERE!

    That dress is such a classic Ivana, and perfect both for dressing up or dressing down. I love how you wore it styled very simply for the wedding, with just the quirky touch of the leopard print shoes. The one with the embroidered tunic underneath is fabulous too. I'm sure you'll reach 30 wears easily! Wishing you a lovely week ahead xxx

    I feel the same Ivana....our clothes have this history of other times we've worn them and all the variations that can make them so versatile.

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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

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...
