SPLIT CITY SUMMER 2021(PART 1): SIMPLE PRINTED OUTFITS

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm currently in Mostar. However, I still have some outfits and dinning recommendations I haven't shared from my visit to Split city back in July. So, here we go. Today I'll show you two simple summer styling ideas, both featuring the same pair of printed sandals. Moreover, one outfit features a graphic tee and floral skirt combo and the other a geometrical pattern dress. I love wearing patterns all year around  and I certainly don't stop wearing them in summer. I also love to wear bold colours. In other words, both of these outfits are exactly my cup of tea.  Scroll down to see more. 

THE STORY OF AN OUTFIT- HOW I WORE IT BEFORE? 
A  GRAPHIC TEE WORN WITH A WRAP VINTAGE FLORAL SKIRT
This is an outfit I wore on repeat. A graphical print t-shirt I got from my aunt a couple of years ago, a vintage floral skirt and tropical print sandals. Sometimes simplicity is the way to go. You can see how I wore this floral skirt here (as a part of a set), this grey peek-a-shoulder t-shirt here and sandals here.



RESTAURANT ASIA: ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA!
We couldn't resist stopping at restaurant Asia, one of our favourite places in Split city. We always have a great time there. We ordered a lot of food, more then we normally eat because we have missed this place so much. As always, their dumplings were so delicious. I could sure use a portion now!



BEACH ŽNJAN: WE FOUND A FUN BEACH RESTAURANT THERE!
We only went to the beach twice while we were in Split last July, but both times we selected beach Žnjan. I wore the same outfit as for the restaurant Asia, but I cannot recall the name of this beach bar and restaurant. There are a lot of great cafes on Žnjan beaches, but this was the first time I actually dined there. I was surprised  to find out you can order food there. I had a tuna salad, it was great (and surprisingly affordable for a place in immediate vicinity of the sea) so yes- it's definitely recommended. 

THE STORY OF AN OUTFIT- A PURPLE GEOMETRICAL PRINT DRESS
I've had this purple dress for years. You can see how I wore it previously here. Worn with the world comfiest sandals, it makes for a great beach styling. This is what I wore for my second visit to beach Žnjan. We were only in Split for a few days in July so we didn't have time for much sight-seeing. Still, we managed to visit some of our favourite places. I already showed you some of the places we visited but today you're getting the full picture. Now, maybe I will visit Split later this August, but I cannot promise anything.

    That looks so relaxing - I love dim sum (the steamed dumplings). The food looks fantastic!

    Wonderfully colourful and cheery outfits for traveling, Ivana. The purple dress is a classic jammy dress!

    Hi Ivana, I hope you had a good week !

    Good to know that you're enjoying these summer days, I love the fact that you're always shopping your own closet and bringing your clothes to the new life with new combinations and combos. There are many interesting things to look at in this post: from the fantastic red skirt that screams SUMMER to the wonderful purple dress that it is an edgy proposal (maybe adding a light jacket and you can still using it during fall). Your options seems so relaxed in this blog post that you obviously had to take some photographs for the blog.

    PS: Save some dumplings for me, the options in the restaurants look incredible!

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 heart of a woman (an outfit post and a book recommendation / Srce žene (odjevna objava i preporuka knjige)

Image
  The Heart of a Woman   is a memoir by Maya Angelou. The events she describes in this book take place between 1957 and 1962 and in that sense this book is a continuation of her previous memoirs.  I do admire her courage when it comes to blending literature with autobiography. It is not an easy task and only a few have really gotten away with it. To narrate one's life, any period of it, in such an intimate way demands great courage, but turning that narration into a literature takes a kind of discipline and self restraint only great writers have, thought people generally don't realize how hard writing on this level really is. Years ago, I found a quote by Maya that really moved me but instead of looking her up immediately, I decided to wait. My intuition told me that a book by her will arrive at the perfect moment. Having read doctor Martin Luther King's autobiography earlier this year put many events in context. However, this memoir is much more than a sum of events, it i

PLUS 30 WAYS TO WEAR A BABY BLUE DRESS AND LEOPARD HEELS (OUTFIT POST, MOSTAR)

Image
 Hello! In this post, I'll share a sustainable baby blue and leopard spring styling. A pale blue might not be the first choice with leopard, but why not? For me leopard print is sort of a classic. I actually love to pair it with all kinds of colours, from more vibrant ones to pales ones. In the past, I paired it with cobalt blue . I definitely do not feel that leopard should be worn only with neutral colours. I mean I paired leopard with white, grey and black clothing items often enough, but I love to pair it with something that pops, be it a coloured or pattern item. I do love patterns. So, it's not surprising that I love to mix patterns.  Back to my baby blue & leopard outfit. I wore it for an outing and I really enjoyed it. The best about is that it is sustainable. What do I mean by sustainable? Well,  I mean that I not only shopped my closet, but wore most of these items more than thirty times. Mostar is so beautiful in Spring, isn't it? I love strolling the city an

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

Sights to see, places to visit / Znamenitosti za vidjeti, mjesta za posjetiti -----Goranci

My Sights to see, places to visit feature would surely be missing something if I didn't include this little village Goranci in the list of places to visit. This charming little village is situated in the vicinity of Mostar.  I love to go there to espace the city heat.  If you are into cycling, you'd be happy to hear that you can rent a bike for free. You just need to leave your ID in the restaurant Goranci and you can take the bike. There is a wonderful cycling and pedestrian walk so be sure to check it out. As of recently, there is also a beautiful park at your disposal. This park is growing daily as new things are added to it(toys for kids and that sorts of stuff). If you look closely, you'll be able to see that some decorative trees are still being planted at the enterance to this park.  You can read some of my previous posts about this village here , here and here .

Fashion Illustration Friday: Inspired by Colours of Autum

Time for another Fashion Illustration Friday talk. We'll talk autumn and share some new autumn inspired fashion illustrations & outfits. Autumn is a season with one of the most beautiful colour palettes. Just think about all those gorgeous gold and red leaves! Even the fruits of Autumn are visually stunning, for example the delicious and juicy fruits such as pomegranates and grapes. With so much to appeal to our senses, it's hard not to be appreciative of autumn. It is a stunning season indeed, so small wonder I was inspired to create some fashion art. Scroll down to see and read more.  AUTUMN COLOUR COMBOS TO CONSIDER Besides enjoying the colours of autumn, I sure love wearing colour in autumn, and that's what I'll write about today. Whether we're talking about accessories or clothes, a bit of colour can take us a long way. Here are some illustrated & photographed colour combos to consider.

How to wear a summer dress in Autumn? Kako nositi ljetnu haljinu u jesen?

The first thing I really took notice of in Mostar city, back in the day, when I arrived to study here, were these trees. I'm still fascinated by them. If you want to know the story about them, you can read it one of my old blog posts ( here .) Kada sam stigla u Mostar na studij , prva stvar koja mi je zaista upala u oči bila su ova stabla. Još uvijek me oduševljavaju.

Island Hvar inspired this necklace (outfit post)/ Otok Hvar je nadahnuće za ovu ogrlicu (odjevna kombinacija)

Image
If you spent each day on a different Croatian island, it would take you three years to visit them all, as there are more than a 1, 200 islands in Croatia. I visted only one Croatian island this Summer and I'm currently trying to work out in my head how many of them I have visited in my lifetime. Alas, only a handful of them. So many Croatian islands to visit, so little time!   Standing on my grandmother's terrace, I realize the root of my fascination with rocks. Not the precious or expenssive kind but rocks dig from earth so full of them that farming was almost impossible, rocks that build houses and fences, rocks that are testiment to a remarbakle strenght of people who populated and surrowed on islands lacking natural water resources or fertile land, defying thirst,  hunger, pirates and numerous enemy invasions.  I feel at home in both Split and Mostar but when I get off  the ferry and step onto island Hvar, I step into a magical world. It took me a while to define t

The Magic of Nature Park Hutovo Blato: Must See Places in Herzegovina

Image
I've been living as an expat in Bosnia and Herzegovina for almost a decade now. During this rather long period of time, I've discovered many wonderful places that I learned to treasure and appreciate. I wrote about most of them here in this little place I can my own. Still, some places are more special than others. It is hard to say why. Some reasons remain mysterious of the heart. Maybe life is more interesting that way. We don't always have to know everything. Sometimes we fall in love with places just the way we fall in love with people. All I can say is that Hutovo Blato is one of those special places. I've fallen in love with it during my first visit. Maybe it's the sea child in me that's feeling (and missing) the Adriatic? After all, the Adriatic is not far from here. That's what I felt on my first visit: a fascination with how familiar this place felt. Since then, I've been a pretty regular visitor. In many ways this nature park feels absol

I plan to wear them this Summer. That's going to be all, folks.
