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

I've spend this day in a very glam activity of scrubbing the floors (we're repainting the house). I'm exhausted, but on the upper note, I must have burned plenty of calories, It has been raining for hours and the weather is quite chilly. Perfect timing to create a summer wish list and day dream a little.  How I wish I was on a beach somewhere, enjoying the sun and reading a nice book. Well, maybe next week, who knows? The Art of Layering a Summer Dress Layering in summer,  can be a bit more tricky but it is by no means impossible. When weather is hot and sunny, we feel the impulse to simplify things. Nothing wrong with that. Layering is something we connect with the warmer months but should we? Yes, layering is a perfect way to keep warm but that doesn't mean there aren't ways we can't layer our outfits. You know some people live in warm climates. Should it mean they should give up layering. By no means no! Layering is fun. Layering can even help to protec...

I don't have a t-shirt dress in my closet but I found a way to fix that...Moreover, it is  a way that doesn't involves shopping. Imagine that! I just wore a t-shirt over an old dress. You can do this two ways, by keeping the t-shirt the way it was or by tying it in a knot. I styled it both ways in these photographs. What do you say about it? Yes or no? Would you wore a tee like this? The photographs were taken last week in Split city (Trstenik and Zenta to be more precise). You can google these locations it if you want to find out more. This is another no make up, no hairdo post, but since it is practically Summer, that is in some way quite appropriate. It's not that I don't like make up, I'm just having a hard time finding the time to apply it. Any time managements tips, anyone? (Preferably one that doesn't include getting up at 5 am or something like that) Nemam majicu haljinu ...

Outfit details: headpin/ ukosnica: DIY/ ručni rad dress/ haljina: vintage, inherited from my mother / nasljeđena od majke bag/ torba: hand made by my late grandomother/ ručni rad pokojne bake scarf worn as belt/  Rubac nošen kao remen : Avon shoes/cipele: Peko Yes, I'm wearing this vintage pink dress once again! This time with a scarf worn as belt. Like that was not colourful enough, there is also this wonderful folklore Croatian bag. I decided to wear my new Peko shoes because I wanted to check whether they can be worn without tights (as one does in Summer)....and I'm happy to announce they've passed the test! I plan to wear them this Summer. That's going to be all, folks. I won't write much today, because yesterday I attended a wedding...and if you don't understand why I'm so tired, you probably never attendad a Slavic wedding....and no, this was not my wedding outfit. I'll show you that some other time. Da, p...

It's finally time for you to see how I styled this DIY heart necklace ( I know I promised it two weeks ago but I had some technical problems). You can find the tutorial about the making of this environmentally friendly necklace here.  For those interested in that kind of information, the photographs for this post were taken in Mostar, about two weeks ago. The weather is this extremely warm, but fortunately Mostar has a lot of shade (where one can seek when the sun becomes too strong.) One of advantages to blogging is the possibility of making interesting friends. My blog allowed me to make friends with this adorable duck family in Mostar. They will be featured in this post so you can get to meet them if you already haven't met them. They are so adorable that I will gladly forgive them the stealing of the spotlight;) If you look closely you can see them even in my close ups. Vrijeme je da konačno vidite kako sam nosila ovu srcoliku ogrlicu koju sam sama napravila (znam ...
