a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

 Hello dear readers! In this post, I'll share a new fashion illustration with you that is all about Spring vibes. In addition, I'll share a spring outfit I wore today. As you can see, the Spring has finally arrived. As Pablo Neruda famously said:    “You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” We have enjoyed a warm and sunny day today. Perfect introduction to the weekend. I felt like dressing up so I did just that. As much as I'm down with the whole mini trend, I won't be giving up on my bellow the knee, midi and maxi skirts and dresses. In fact, I might just feel best in midi length . Give me a pencil midi skirt and I'll come up with an outfit that is guaranteed to make me happy. Pairing midi skirts with heels always makes me feel feminine and dressed up. Perhaps some day we'll come up with an exact mathematics  formula for a 'pick me up' outfit. What do you think? Is there such a formula? Maybe it is more an individual  one, s...

Hello, Earthlings! In this post, we shall talk about  the connection between blogging and language learning. Considering I'm both a language teacher and a blogger, I might know a thing or two about this topic. I'll also share a cute vintage outfit shot at my favourite spot in Mostar city with you but more about that later.  Isn't it lovely that Spring is finally here? Better late, then never! DON’T LET LANGUAGE LEARNING MYTHS STAND IN YOUR WAY When it comes to language learning, there are so many myths surrounding it. Regardless whether we're talking about acquiring a foreign language or improving our own mother tongue, language learning is an activity few understand well. Many myths surrounding language learning often discourage potential language learners. Among the most common language learning myths are those that claim that it requires great talent, effort,  financial resources and so on.  As if language learning isn't something we've been doing since the ...

Every visit to Nature Park Hutovo blato is incredibly special. This visit was unplanned, a last moment sort of thing. While I would agree that (generally speaking) planning is important,  sometimes the best trips aren't planned. Since we didn't plan to visit, I didn't wear proper footwear. So, I was walking around this wetland nature park in heeled pointy boots like a fashion lover that I sometimes am. Don't worry, I tripped only once- and not because of the heels. There was a hole in the ground that wasn't visible because it was covered by freshly cut grass. Anyhow, I survived but I definitely recommend more sensible shoes to you. Fortunately, I had enough sense to bring a straw hat. The sun was strong that day but I welcomed it (thanks to the shade provided by my hat). Finally, I had a definite feeling that Spring has arrived. It was a lovely (if short) escape from the absolutely catastrophe that is the world today.  Sometimes all we need to rewind is  a few minut...
