HAPPY FIRST OF DECEMBER! 30 PLUS WAY TO WEAR A GREEN TARTAN PUFFER JACKET!

 

Happy first day of December!  In this post, I'll take you to Buna recreational area near Mostar. Buna is a fabulous place to visit, and we go there pretty often. There's a few lovely places to dine and have drinks at, as well.  For example, there's this lovely Buna hotel where we typically stop for a cup of coffee or a meal. 

Anyhow, we visited Buna about two weeks ago. This weekend we didn't go anywhere much, because I had a lot of work and stuff to do, and the northern wind's quite strong. We did have some coffee and cakes with friends at hotel Mostar today, and I had a coffee and a cake with my friend at Aldi cafe yesterday. I should really cut down on sweet, but it's hard when there are so many cafes that offer desserts in Mostar.

Buna was actually the first place my husband and I visited when we started dating. We went on a date or two, and then for the weekend, he invited me go with him to Buna. I suppose that visiting Buna is a sort of tradition for us. We typically go for a walk there. It's a lovely place to visit to get away from the city.

THERE ARE SOME NEW BRIDGES BEING BUILT ON BUNA

I jumped on one of the bridges that are still under construction. Even though it's not finished, it's fun to walk on it.

I remember the novel Hero of Our Times and how the protagonist used the river to his advantage. I may retell you the scene some other time.

The moral is that you shouldn't look at the water when you're crossing the river, or you can get dizzy. Always look up. 

FORTUNATELY, I HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF BALANCE!

The last time I was here, I also couldn't resist climbing this pole.

THE BLUE SKIRT WITH DIY FLORAL PATCHES

THIS SKIRT HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS!

1) How To Wear a Denim Skirt With Patches? 

How to style a denim skirt with patches? Undoubtedly, there are many ways to do it, and today I'll present you with one of them. In my view, patches can make a denim skirt look even more urban, hip and youthful. If you are making the patches yourself or purchasing them with the intention of sewing them onto a denim skirt, pay attention to what kind of style you're after. It is worth noting that patches add additional texture and possibly colour  to the outfit. This is something you might want to keep in mind when styling your outfit. For example, here I styled this denim skirt with earthly colours.

Maybe I should also write about how to sew patches onto a denim skirt, since the floral patches on this denim skirt are DIY? Yes, I cut out some florals from a floral material I found at home and sewed them onto this skirt. A very simple DIY, but I think it brought life to this old pencil denim skirts. I don't have any up close photographs of this skirt, I can make them if you want. Basically, I sewed the patches in regular style. It was fun doing something creative like this. I might have already mentioned this DIY project on blog. You know I'm always talking about DIY projects here, but hey that's what I like to do.  They're an important part of my style. I love customizing things, almost as much as I love making them. Do you love to customize clothing items? How do you go about it?
