Mostar. Twenty years later many buildings still bear scars of war. Some of them are decorated with graffiti. This building you can see behind me was painted during one street art festival. It used to be a bank, not that you can tell it now. While we were shooting, some tourists started following us around and they took photos at all the places we did. Not that I mind. The purpose of this blog should be to inspire somebody and that is the reason why I read other blogs, to get inspired. Still, it felt kind of funny being followed around. I felt like an unofficial tourist guide. Mostar. Dvadeset godina kasnije puno zgrada još nosi ožiljke rata. Neke od njih su ukrašene grafitima, ova koju vidite iza mene je ocrtana tijekom jednog uličnoga festivala. Nije vidljivo, ali to je nekada bila banka. Dok smo snimali,  neki turisti su nas počeli slijediti i slikali se na mjestima gdje smo i mi. Nije da mi smeta. Tome bi ovaj blog i trebao služiti, da nadahne nekog za nešto,...

My Sights to see, places to visit feature would surely be missing something if I didn't include this little village Goranci in the list of places to visit. This charming little village is situated in the vicinity of Mostar.  I love to go there to espace the city heat.  If you are into cycling, you'd be happy to hear that you can rent a bike for free. You just need to leave your ID in the restaurant Goranci and you can take the bike. There is a wonderful cycling and pedestrian walk so be sure to check it out. As of recently, there is also a beautiful park at your disposal. This park is growing daily as new things are added to it(toys for kids and that sorts of stuff). If you look closely, you'll be able to see that some decorative trees are still being planted at the enterance to this park.  You can read some of my previous posts about this village here , here and here . Moja rubrika Znamenitosti za vidjeti, Mjesta za posjetiti ne bih bila potpuna bez Goranaca, malo...

This is the first time I'm wearing this set, i.e this vintage blouse and matching skirt together. I have no idea why it took me so long to pair these two matching items together. Perhaps I was afraid that it will be too much. However, as soon as I put them on it felt so right.  I knew that I had to do my best to style it properly. So, I added this lovely vintage leather bag and I chose snake print pumps to really go over the top with the prints. The pumps are not vintage nor is this necklace I made myself, but still I feel there is enough vintage in this outfit to be classified as a vintage outfit. What is your verdict? Too much patterns or just enough? Ovo je prvi put da nosim ovu vintage bluzu skupa s ovom suknjom s kojom je zapravo došla u kompletu. Ne znam zašto mi je tako dugo trebalo da spojim očito, ali možda sam se bojala da će nekako biti previše. No, čim sam ovo obukla osjećaj je bio tako dobar. Znala sam da se moram potruditi da to što bolje iznosim, pa sam dodala o...
