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

 Just a quick product review...like you can see it is an Eveline nail-polish. Generally speaking, I'm satisfied with this brand, I have a few of their nail polishes. The bottle says long lasting but in reality that is not true...the durability of this nail polish is not great (1-2 days) but on the upper side, it does dry quickly, it's shiny and I really like this shade of pink. Evo samo jedna mala recenzija...kao što vidite to je Eveline lak za nokte, marka kojoj sam zadovoljna, neki čisto u redu omjer kvalitete i cijene. Bočica kaže da dugo traje, ali to baš i nije istina, prije bi rekla da traje kratko (samo dan, dva) ali sa pozitivne strane, boja je stvarno divna i sjajna, a i brzo se suši.

I hope you'll enjoy the photos. Nadam se da ćete uživati u fotografijama. Spero che vi piacciono le foto.

So my puppy is not exactly bag friendly, (I couldn't possibly carry her in my bag the way legally blond does because my doggie weights a pretty sum) but I'm not exactly a fashionista or Paris Hilton's look alike, so we make a good couple anyhow...and this time we're both dressed up and all elegant in black and brown. She has a lovely new collar and a leash that make her look all grown up (isn't she getting enormous? even the vet says so) and I (besides matching her colours) have a leather bag that resembles her leash...and I must say, taking photos with her was so much fun! Dobro moja vučka baš i ne stane u neku šminkersku torbu kao onaj mališa u Plavuši sa Havarda (sama pomisao je smiješna, još malo pa će me dostići po težini), ali nisam ni ja neka hiltonica tako da si skroz dobro odgovaramo. Što mi se toliko sviđa kod ove odjevne kombinacije je da smo savršene usklađene što se tiče boja, oboje u crnom sa malo bež i smeđe. Ona ima novu kožnu ogrlicu...

This DIY tee you had a chance of seeing before. I bought it in one store and I decided to cover up the logo with beads...maybe because I hate logos? I wouldn't go that far, but I will say that I don't want to be a walking commercial. Let's get back to the beads...I just sewed them in, I don't like to glue things because that in my experience always ends up looking messy (or I'm just clumsy). I've had this tee for years so I can say that the classical method (just sewing beads on shirts, tee-s, etc)works for me. Have you ever attempted a similar DIY? What are your experiences? Now, about the location in case anyone is interested...You had the chance of seeing it before as well. This is a hill near Mostar and you can actually see the airport Mostar behind me in the second photograph. Ovu majicu ste imali prilike vidjeti prije. Ušila sam na nju perlicu kako bi prekrila logo (jer ne želim biti hodajuća reklama). Imam je već godinama, perl...

ENGLISH: For this DIY you will need: 1. fabric (in this case black) 2.  catalog kind of paper 3. needle and thread (preferably in different colours) 4. one button 5.elastic band 6.  safety pin (you will only need safety pin if the elastic proves to be too short as has happened to me) I didn't take photographs while I was making this necklace simply having been a spur of the moment thing (and  my first time doing it) so I cannot show you photos of the making process yet. What I can do,  however, is describe the process in a few easy steps and hopefully photographs will not be necessary. Step No.1. Cutting out the shape you want What I have done is used a Vichy catalog (but any kind of thick paper should do the trick, the important thing is that it is water proof and bendable... and not too thick because you will need to sew trough it) in semi circles. Then I have used that paper cut out to cut out the black fabric in the sam...

Looks like this is going to be a DIY week because it seems to be all I'm writing about (and I'm breaking my rule of not posting more than once a day). Firstly, I want to share with you this collar necklace...that thing around my neck, I've made it---and collar inspired necklace I chose to call it.( I plan to do a DIY post about it pretty soon.) Secondly, this is my new painting of the island Korčula in Croatia. What do you think? I hope that I have done justice to this amazing place. Izgleda da će ovo biti tjedan posvećen "uradi sam" projektima. Prvo želim sa vama podijeliti ovu ovratnik (kragna) ogrlicu koju sam izradila, da ta stvar oko moga vrata, ne znam kako bi je drukčije nazvala nego ogrlica kragnica. Druge, pokazujem vam napredak i završetak moje nove slike Korčule. Nadam se da uspjela uhvatiti barem mali dio ljepote ovog mjesta.
