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

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...

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...

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 ...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
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. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

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...
