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

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Image
Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Image
Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #39- STJEPAN FORTRESS BLAGAJ (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share another destination painting of mine. You know what that means- it's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post! Today I'm taking you to Herzeg Stjepan Kosaca fortress. This stunning historical fortress overlooking Blagaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sight to behold. Trying to capture its magical beauty in a painting was a challenge!  The medium for this painting is acrylic paints on cotton canvas. The painting process was actually quite long and tedious. I've worked on this painting since Autumn and I only finished it towards the end of Summer. I rushed the painting towards the end, because I wanted to participate in the joint artist exhibition. There was a submission deadline to meet, so I submitted this canvas not feeling confident it's actually finished. If you happen to visit Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you'll be able to see my painting hanging in the Stjepan Kosača gallery for the next
