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!

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

Image
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

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

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
