VISIT BIOGRAD NA MORU WITH ME! (PART 2)

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm sharing another article about beautiful Biograd town. I published the first part of  Biograd post yesterday. Today I'll share more photographs and impressions from my stay in Biograd na Moru (official site of this lovely seaside town here). My husband and I visited it earlier this June. We've been meaning to go there for a while because there are still some relatives living there that my husband hasn't met yet. So, we finally decided to go when my husband saw a discount on Croatian travel site called Crno jaje. This Croatian site specializes in giving and finding local travelling deals & discounts. The way it functions is that you print their code, voucher or whatever it is offering you some deal and then you can check in hotels and private accommodation in Croatia for a more affordable prince. We opted for apartments Dina (just sharing, nothing in this post is sponsored in any way nor are there any affiliate links). Our apartment was not far away from the sea, but there was a little forest you need to walk through (not that we minded that).  We only went to the beach once during the day (but we did walk around a lot at night). We spent three lovely days in Biograd. We actually managed to do a lot of social visiting, so it was an active vacation. We did a lot of walking too. The sea was a bit too fresh for my husband, but for me it was just perfect. I took a short swim at one of the lovely beaches there. Today I'll show you what I wore for our walks as well as share a few pics from our apartment. 


THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT- HOW I WORE IT BEFORE?
This is an outfit consisting of items I already had in my closet. You know I love shopping my closet. I tied the red top I wore yesterday around my waist and I actually wore it when it got a bit colder later in the evening. 
THE BLUE DRESS- worn here and here.
THE RED TOP- first wear here.
THE DRIVING LOAFERS- here and here. See how I styled them here, here and here.
THE STRAW BAG- worn here and here. 


MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BIOGRAD NA MORU (CROATIA)

Biograd na Moru is located in vicinity of Zadar city. Finding it is easy. It is situated along the  the main  road Zadar - Split.  It could be said that Biograd is one of the central points of this part of Dalmatian riviera. This part of riviera consists of charming little places and villages such as: Petar na Moru, Turanj, Sv. Filip i Jakov, Pakoštane and Drage.  Biograd na Moru is also a ferry port for the beautiful island of Pasman. If you visit island Pashman, don't forget to explore villages on the island of Pasman: Tkon, Kraj, Pasman, Barotul, Mrljane, Nevidane, Dobropoljana, Banj, Zdrelac and Vrgada. There is definitely a lot to see and experience here. I would also recommend Sv. Filip i Jakov. 

Biograd na Moru and the surrounding area provide excellent opportunities for sea related activities, sports and sailing. In fact, this place is simply ideal for nautical tourism and sailing. It is one of the best places in the Mediterranean for sailing, I'm sure. Moreover, there are three national parks in Vicinity of Biograd: Paklenica, Kornati Archipelago and Krka.  I have visited Krka last year and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I plan to visit it again. I think it goes without saying that I would love to visit other national parks in vicinity as well. 


Even while I was on this mini vacation, I made time for painting and drawing. You can see my most recent TRAVEL WITH MY ART painting here. Do you want to see more of 'TRAVEL WITH MY ART SERIES'?  Bellow are the links in case you missed any of them.

    Hello Ivana, hope you're having a nice start of the week!

    So good to read that you're able to take some escapades and enjoy a few days off, moving or switching our current life scenario for a couple of day can really improve our health in many senses :) And obviously a discount is always welcomed right?

    The place looks amazing, Biograd also seems a good idea if you like to do many activities related with relaxation and sports! I really want to go to a place like this in the summer months!

    And you picked really nice outfits to visit Biograd, and the bouquet of fresh roses that I noticed in some of the pictures is my favorite :)

    Will check part 1!

    How absolutely lovely it sounds to spend three days in this gorgeous seaside town. Renting an apartment is a great idea too, so that you can come and go as you please. I always find this gives you more freedom than staying at a hotel I adore the photos of you wearing the blue dress with the red jumper draped around your waist. The light is absolutely fantastic! xxx

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

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

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

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
