SUNSET IN VRBOSKA, STROLLING BEACH SOLINE

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Today I'm taking you to back to Vrboska on island Hvar. This place was my frequent destination back when I lived on island Hvar. I managed to visit it once this summer but haven't blogged about it yet. I have a lot of posts about island Hvar in the drafts, but my health issues set me a bit back with my blogging schedule so I'm making for it now. Never mind, I'm sure I'll manage to publish them in due time. I have a special bond with island Hvar.  I think you guys learned to love and appreciate island Hvar through my blog as well.  Anyhow, earlier I came across a summer outfit I haven't shared before. This floral dress was a summer purchase in Mana store. The occasion I dressed for was  a visit to Vrboska and Soline beach with my husband. This was an evening walk so we were able to enjoy the sunset. If you haven't experienced sunset in Vrboska, I can highly recommend it. This place has got one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. 


Island Hvar is often inspiration for my art. Check out these posts if you want to see how I painted different locations on island Hvar.

VRBOSKA VILLAGE AND BEACH SOLINE SUMMER 2020

    VRBOSKA- LITTLE VENICE ON ISLAND HVAR
Vrboska is nicknamed Little Venice for a reason. This beautiful picturesque fishing village is a dream to stroll. I actually walked all the way from Jelsa on this particular day. I love that walk. It's about 6 km  long walk but it feels less long because the views are so stunning you easily forget that you're walking. I won't get into details because I've already blogged about Vrboska a number of times, so not to repeat myself here are links to my previous posts about this charming village here, here, here,  here and here (feel free to check those old posts of mine) to find out more about this beautiful place.
HR- VRBOSKA- MALA VENICIJA NA OTOKU HVARU
Vrboska s razlogom nosi nadimak Mala Venecija. Ovo lijepo slikovito ribarsko mjesto idealno je za šetnju. Zapravo sam na taj dan pješačila iz Jelse. Volim tu šetnju. Otprilike je 6 km duga, ali čini se manje jer su pogledi toliko zapanjujući da lako zaboravljate sve otalo. Neću ulaziti u detalje jer sam već više puta pisala o Vrboskoj na svom blogu, tako da se ne ponavljam poveznice na moje prethodne objave o Vrboskoj možete pogledati u engleskom dijelu teksta.

VRBOSKA ON ISLAND HVAR IN AUTUMN 2020



THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT - A simple styling for an evening by the seaside & once more I shopped my closet
THE FLORAL DRESS- from Mana. See how I wore it before here. 
THE FLORAL BAG- hand made by a local seamstress from Jelsa. I bought it during the Dance of the Sails event. I was so happy to support work of this talented local lady. See how it wore it before here. 
THE RED NECKLACE- a gift from another  nice lady from Jelsa. See how I wore it here.



Thank you so much for your visit. Take care and stay safe.

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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

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
