WHAT I WORE TO THE BEACH? TWO SUMMER OUTFITS

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Today I'll show you two outfits, both featuring the same pair of white heeled sandals. I've had this pair of sandals for years and they're simply the perfect summer shoe. I blogged about 20 ways to wear this pair last summer.  I'm happy to report that I'm over 30 documented wears with this white pair. You may see the most recent wear here. Another fashion thing I will talk about is beach outfits. I will show you two outfits I wore to the beach while we were vacationing in Biograd na Moru recently. My reason for visiting this beautiful city was family related, but we also enjoyed our stay. We definitely felt as a pair of properly happy tourists while we were there.  Visit Biograd na Moru tourist site for more information about this amazing Croatian seaside city. 



OUTFIT #1: A CHERRY PRINT DRESS AND WHITE SANDALS
You can never go wrong with a cute cherry print dress. I have a few cherry print dresses actually. This one is fantastic because it's so flattering. See more ideas for styling this cherry print dress before here. I think a simple dress like this one is really a wonderful choice for the beach. Less layers, less hassle. A flowing dress would be a wonderful choice as well, but maybe you like a more fitted look. If that is so, a nice fitting dress is a good solution. 

OUTFIT #2 A GRAPHIC T-SHIRT, RUFFLED GYPSY SKIRT AND WHITE SANDALS
I actually wore a very similar version of this outfit back in summer 2018 (see here). The only difference to that 2018 outfit would be my choice of shoes and a bag. I didn't actually wear a bag in 2021 version (as you can see bellow). To me nothing says summer more than just throwing on a towel around your shoulder and heading to the beach. I tell you that towel on your shoulders thing brings back memories. Have you ever head over to the beach with nothing but a towel or is that just a Croatian thing? 




As always thank you for reading and visiting. Have a lovely day ahead!

    Both outfits are so fantastic summer, Ivana! I would love to wear knee-length tight skirt and dress go to the beach, too! Your memory with the towel is touching<3
    p.s.
    Thank you for your comments on my blog about my T-shirt shop! I am trying to do another way for you!

    They are both cute outfits but I really like that skirt in the second outfit! :) I wish I could go to the beach with just a towel, haha! You have to carry a lot of things when you go to the beach with the kids!

    Hope that you are having a lovely week :)

    I love those sandals - such a great style. They are both comfy-looking and stylish, as are you, Ivana! I'm envious of all the travel you've been doing! I hope your week is going well, my dear.

    Love both outfits. Going to the beach with only a towel is a Romanian thing too. :)

    Like Sheila, I'm so envious of all your travelling. We're all eagerly waiting tonight's government announcement to see if we'll be allowed to cross borders this Summer.
    I can't go to the beach without a book and a bottle of water! xxx

    Like Sheila and Vix before me, I am quite envious of all your travelling. There is so much to see where you are, and Biograd na Moru is no exception. I'm loving the white sandals and it doesn't surprise me at all that you've reached 30 wears. My favourite of your outfits is the one with that delightful cherry print dress! xxx

    How lovely that you went on vacation to Biograd na Moru and got to visit family as well. Those sandals look like the perfect summer shoes. I miss the beach and am glad to live vicariously through you.

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

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

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

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

SUMMER TO AUTUMN TRANSITION IN BLACK AND WHITE (MOSTAR)

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share a few Summer to Autumn outfits I wore in Mostar. As I keep mentioning in all of my recent posts, I did some second hand shopping this Summer. I needed to make sure to follow my school's white and black dress code. This summer shopping I keep mentioning proved not only affordable, but also very successful. I managed not only to wear everything I bought, but also to transition all of my newly acquired items to Autumn. Now, you will see how I transitioned some of my newly acquired items for Autumn.  The whole shopping second hand thing in the Summer took me less than half an hour. I spent less than 20 euros in total. Not bad! It seems that the less I shop, the better I get at shopping. Sometimes too much of the good thing can be bad for you. If you shop too often, you might stop to enjoy it. It might become a need, and that never good. Shopping is best enjoyed in measure, for it was never intended to be an addictio

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
