5 DECEMBER OUTFITS+ A MINI FASHION RECAP OF YEAR 2021

 Hello dear readers! How's life treating you? I hope you're enjoying yourselves. I still find it hard to believe that year 2022 is just days away. 2021 was an odd year, I'm not sure what to make of it. One of those years when time seemed to either fly by at record speed or to stand perfectly still. Like I said, it was an odd year. Like most years (or even some days), it was a mixture of good and bad. Well, I guess sometimes all we can do is to count our blessings and try to keep our heads up. Today I'll share with you five December outfits I haven't shared yet.  We'll also do a little fashion recap (by seasons). Let's start with these five December outfits.  

OUTFIT #1: PINK AND GREY TONES
I loved wearing this cute and feminine outfit. The combination of pink and grey works well. Who says you cannot wear floral pattern in winter?

OUTFIT #4: VINTAGE JEANS AND BLAZER
This pair of vintage jeans is one of my favourites.  A while back, I painted a floral pattern on one leg with textile paints. The pattern is still there and I love it. I like how it matched the red floral pattern on this lovely one of a kind bag I bought from a wonderful seamstress in Jelsa on island Hvar. I also wore a red top that isn't really visible and and a blazer from fashion house Nebo. 



OUTFIT #5:'BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE'CHIC
It was so cold and windy when I wore this outfit. I had to wrap my scarf around by head to survive the wind. Still, I got to enjoy the view of beautiful Adriatic sea, so it was worth it. Split is beautiful in winter time too. I already linked all of these clothing items beside the trousers (HERE), they are from fashion house Uzor (that no longer exists). I've had them for years and I love wearing them.





FASHION RECAP OF YEAR 2021 (BY SEASONS)

As the year is coming to an end, I thought it might be fun to do a little fashion recap by seasons. I cannot say they were any big (or even small) changes in my style this year. Most of the time I like to wear vivid colours or patterns, but sometimes I also wear monochrome outfits. I still prefer dresses and skirts to pants, but I have been wearing jeans more lately. Another thing that hasn't changed is that I always enjoy shopping my closet. I rarely buy anything these days. In fact, I bought only a handful of items this year. Besides the summer haul in Stanka Zovko store, I bought two dress in Amadeus store and a long floral cardigan in Mana store. That's about it. I might have picked up another long sleeved t-shirt or two but that's really it. I wasn't on shopping ban or anything like that in 2021, I just didn't feel like buying clothes. 

WINTER 2021

Winter 2021 was all about colour and patterns. While I did wear some plain dark outfits, I preferred vivid colours. In fact, even with darker looks, I still accessorized with fun scarves or caps. 



SPRING 2021
Spring was all about patterns and colours too! As spring started cold, I often wore patterned jackets or coloured coats. Once it got warmer, I often went for either white/light or vivid tonalities. I didn't really make any particularly interesting style choices this spring that I can remember, but I do remember having fun with clothes and that's what matters the most.










SUMMER 2021
The summer was all about dresses and skirts but I also reached for jumpsuits and leggings now and then. I tend to shop my closet, but I did pick up a few new pieces this summer from a local fashion designer Stanka Zovko. Those purchases have already payed off because I got lots of wear from them. 

AUTUMN 2021
I ended up wearing a lot of my summer dresses in Autumn too. I often wore my Stanka Zovko items in Autumn as well. Another summer purchase I continued wearing this Autumn is a pale blue dress from Amadeus (a Croatian brand).  As Autumn moved towards its end, I started to wear jeans more.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy holidays and all the best in 2022 to you!

    I love that second December outfit with the leather jacket! And this is a great way to look back on a year of outfits :)

    There were certainly some tough moments this year but it's good that it will be over soon - and that there were some high points to the year for us!

    Hope that you had a magical Christmas :)

    I'm loving your December outfits, and in particular the grey and pink one. It's a combination which works very well indeed!
    Your 2021 fashion recap is a sight to behold. What a wonderful round-up of seasonal colourful outfits.
    2021 was a strange year indeed. Like any year, there was both good and bad, but this year, and at this very moment, it seems I can mainly remember the bad bits. I do believe 2022 can only be better. Wishing you a happy and healthy year, Ivana! xxx

    I love the bright colours and excellent layering in all your outfits! You look so chic. My favourite garment is your beautiful blue Amadeus dress and also that lilac coord is gorgeous in all its iterations! Have you seen the new West Side Story? The two dresses remind me of Maria's outfits!

    How right you are, dear heart. "Odd" is an excellent (and entirely apt) way of describing the past twelve months (to say nothing of the year that proceeded them, too).

    I very much agree as well that there was a distinct duality between time passing faster than the speed of light and feeling slower than a snail riding a turtle.

    September and October in particular whizzed by for me, but then (for a multitude of reasons), November was almost agonizingly slow. December has been somewhere in between.

    What a fantastic recap of some of your fashion highlights that spanned the pages of this year's calendar, so to speak. You are a true stylista and an inspiration to scores of folks around the world - both in terms of what you wear as well as your art, blogging, book reviews and more.

    Big hugs from super cold Western Canada,

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 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 ...

KRAVICE WATERFALLS (TOP DESTINATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) / Slapovi Kravice

Image
KRAVICA WATERFALL I will never forget visiting Kravice waterfalls for the first time. It was an absolutely magical experience.  The Kravica waterfall is sometimes described as a pearl of Herzegovina. It's also called oasis in stone. One can think of many names for it, but the best thing is to go there and see for itself. It's definitely one of the great beautifies of the Herzegovinian landscape. Where can you find this stunning natural waterfall? It's located on the Trebizat River, 7 km away from Ljubuski.  This place of beauty was created by the Trebizat River!

Maxi dress (outfit post) / Duga haljina (odjevna objava)

Image
What says summer more than a maxi dress? You might have another clothing item in mind, but there is no disputing the fact that a nice summer maxi dress is one of the most practical choices when the days get warmer. Besides offering protection from the sun, a good summer maxi dress is easy to layer (and hence to dress up and down) and serves like an infusion of style and effortless chic. In other words.....What is there not to love?  Što više kaže ljeto od duge haljine? Možda imate neki drugi odjevni predmet na pameti, ali ne može se osporiti da je lijepa ljetna duga haljina jedan od najpraktičnijih izbora kada dana postanu topliji. Osim što nam nudi zaštitu od sunca, dobra ljetna haljina se lako nadograđuje (i nosi u dotjeranim i ležernim kombinacijama), a služi kao prava infuzija stila i onog dojma da se niste trudili. Drugim riječima....Što tu ne voljeti? shoes, dress: no name, bag: borsa, shirt:vintage Have you found your ideal summer dress yet? I got t...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...
