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

Dress/ Haljina: no name+ DIY, necklace: DIY, sneakers/ tenisice: umbro I'm really happy with how the embroidery on this dress turned out! I think I'm even a bit proud of myself. These gold  flowers complement the dress wonderfully. It's everything I wanted it to be so (in order to wear it more often) styling this dress  down by pairing it with sneakers seemed like a good idea... The dress will probably become a part of my daytime outfits as well. The occasion I wore it for was a weekend trip and this lovely location (you had the chance of seeing on this blog many many times) is river Buna near Mostar city, BIH. Jako sam zadovoljna sa time kako je ispao vez na ovoj haljini! Mislim da sam čak i malo ponosna na sebe. Zlatni izvezeni cvjetovi sjajno pristaju haljini. To je upravo ono što sam željela pa sam odlučila ovu haljinu učiniti ležernijom tako da ću je nositi sa tenisicima, to mi se činilo kao dobra ideja, a ta...

I was asked for a better view of the painting on the back of this shirt, so I've decided to post more photographs of the outfit I wore it with. (additional DIY on this shirt are those gold buttons I've sewn onto myself)  I think all fashion bloggers face the dilemma about much photographs to post. Sometimes we have a lot of them and decide to include only a few and sometimes (for what ever reason) our posts are loaded with them.  Having another look at this particular series of photograph, I came to conclusion that more is better. The real star of these photographs, it seems, is neither myself nor this painting of mine, but Split city. Doesn't it look absolutely delightful when the sunset paints the mountains pastel pink and  blue while the sea turns into most wonderful shade of silver? Even when the finally sun sets, it's still beautiful and full of life. Netko me zamolio za bolji...

HE BLUE VINTAGE JEANS- Update from the future, this pair of jeans was also hand painted! In this 2018 post, I published an article about  MY FAVOURITE PAIRS OF JEANS: A VISUAL GUIDE   and this pair was featured as well! https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2020/03/30-plus-ways-to-style-pair-of-heeled.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2016/06/princess-mononoke-princeza-mononoke.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2013/11/ootd-danasnje-ruho.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2018/12/november-highlights-things-to-be.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2021/12/5-december-outfits-mini-fashion-recap.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2016/01/casual-chic-with-twist-lezerno-na-malo.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2018/07/how-to-find-best-photo-worthy_1.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2018/04/two-outfits-featuring-one-pair-of-hand.html https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2014/10/plavo-drvo-odjevna-kombinacija-blue.html ...

Once again I've used textile paints to refresh a clothing item. This time it's more subtle ( the stripes on the jeans are not that obvious) but I've many other outfits prepared that are anything but. It's so great when you can combine painting and clothes. Još jednom sam upotrijebila tekstilne boje da bi osvježila odjevni predmet. Ovaj put  je to suptilnije ( pruge na trapericama nisu toliko očite) ,ali imam puno odjevnih kombinacija pripremeljenih gdje je upotreba tekstilnih boja  sve samo ne suptilna. Odlična je stvar kada se može spojiti slikanje i odjeća.
