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

Hello! This post has been updated with some of my fashion illustrations. Let's talk about weddings again. A wedding is a celebration of love, but for us ladies it is also about style. Today I'm presenting you  LandyBridal ,  an online shop that specializes in wedding dresses. They are devoted to fulfilling every bride's dream. As a manufacturer of wedding attire, they have been in the business for more than 15 years.                                                  I made a selection of vintage lace wedding dresses that caught my eye. When it comes to wedding dresses, I think that lace is always a great bridal choice. Lace is timeless and feminine. It makes every gown more glam and special. Do you agree? What do you think about my selection of dresses? What kind of dress would you choose for your wedding day? ...

Happy Monday! How do you feel about Mondays? I'm warming up to them. Afterall, it is just another day. It can mean something good, perhaps even something great. Perhaps it is all a matter of perspective.... A fresh start of the week, new possibilities, new chances...but somewhere in back of my mind are all those Garfield images with 'I hate Monday' written all over them.  My love for oversized cats is my great weakness. Maybe I need a cheerful song? Something with violine and cheerful lyrics...maybe this one  from Alexander Rybak? One cat image to replace another? мой котик..котик..котик..котик........ Sretan ponedjeljak! Kakvi su vaši osjećaji po tom pitanju? Meni se počinju sviđati. Na posljetku, to je samo još jedan dan. Može značiti nešto dobro, možda čak i nešto odlično. Možda  je to samo pitanje perspektive...Svježi početak tjedna, nove mogućnosti,  nove prilike...ipak negdje u glavi su mi sve one slike Garfielda s  natpisom "Mrzim ponedjeljke". ...

While Autumn is still warm, I plan wear this red blazer as often as I can. This time I wore a thick striped turtleneck under it.  In addition, I added another of my creations, this necklace made from faux leather. I love seeing statement necklaces worn over sweaters and mine are purpuselly long so they can be worn over turtlenecks and polonecks. It is all about being feminine and staying warm. Speaking of accessories,  a lot of people asked me when I will make my necklaces available for sale in an etsy shop. The answer is probably not anytime soon, but they are available for sale via my paypal account (feel free to send me a mail for more details).  Dok je jesen još topla, planiram nositi ovaj crveni sako što više. Ovaj put sam  nosila debelu dolčevitu na pruge ispod, a nosila sam i jednu od svojih kreacija, ovu ogrlicu napravljenu od eko kože. Volim vidjeti upečatljive ogrlice nošene preko džempera, a moje su namjerno napravljene duže da se mogu nositi i preko ...

Hello dear readers! Originally published in 2015, this blog post was updated with images of my own fashion art in 2024. The reason why I did is to make it more visually interesting and unique. Sometimes I like to jazz up my old blog posts.  I've work hard on developing my art skills, and some of that talent was disturbed towards fashion illustration. So why not share it with others? If you're looking for wedding inspiration, fashion sketches can be as inspiring as photographs. For those artistically inclined, fashion illustrations can sometimes be even more inspiring.  Scroll down to read about Cocomelody and to see my selection of their wedding dresses!                                       This sketch was actually inspired by my own wedding dress and it was drawn ages ago!                             ...

Last month when I took you to this little city ( here ) in Herzegovina, I told you that it was actually founded by the ancient Romans. Didn't I also mention that there are interesting ruins  and archeological sights near by? I'm pretty sure I did! Today I'm taking you to one of them. Welcome to Mogorjelo! Prošlog mjeseca kada sam vas povela u ovaj mali grad u Hercegivini ( ovdje ), rekla sam vam da su ga zapravo osnovali stari Rimljani.  Zar nisam također i spomenula da u blizini ima zanimljivih ruševina i arheoloških spomenika? Naravno da jesam! Danas vas vodim na jedno takvo mjesto. Dobrodošli u Mogorjelo! As it happens, we decided to make a stop here almost accidentally. We had some things to take care of in vicinity and when we were done my husband in a spur of the moment decided we should see this place. As soon as I step foot here I was enchanted.  I literally felt like I stepped centuries back in time.  This location was so beautiful; it left ...
