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

This is what I wore for Valentine's Day. It was a suprisingly warm day. Windy, but not cold at all.  I didn't even need a jacket or a coat. Originally, we had planned a getaway, but in the morning a friend called my husband, asking him to help him with finding a wedding saloon for his son's wedding.  Getaway cancelled.  Ovo sam nosila za Valentinovo. Bilo je iznenađujuće toplo. Vjetrovito, ali nimalo hladno. Nije mi bila potrebna ni jakna ni kaput. Zapravo smo planirali negdje otići, ali ujutro je prijatelj zvao moga muža da mu pomogne pronaći salu za sinovo vjenčanje. Planovi otkazani.  I was hoping for a relaxing day, but we ended up with just a few hours for ourselves. I'm not complaining, at least we got to spend some time together and some people don't even managed to do that. Instead of going somewhere, we just hanged out in town and took these photographs. How was your Valentine's day? Nadala sam se provesti opuštajući dan, a na...

We should always celebrate love. We must rememeber there are many types of love and they are all equally important. So, let us celebrate love today.  Not just love between a man and a women,  but love in all shapes and forms. Let celebrate the love we feel for our friends and family...and just as important is the love we should have for ourselves. Let this angel with purple wings watch over you....and remember : love makes us stronger! At times love hurts, but in order to grow wings, we must endure the pain. Happy Saint Valentine's day! Trebamo uvijek slaviti ljubav. Moramo se sjetiti da postoji puno vrsta ljubavi i da su sve jednako važne. Stoga, slavimo ljubav danas. Ne samo ljubav između muškarca i žene, nego ljubav u svim oblicima i formama. Slavimo ljubav koji osjećamo za prijatelje i obitelj...i jednaku važnu ljubav koju bi trebali imati prema sebi. Neka vas ovaj anđeo s ljubičastim krilima pazi...i zapamtite: ljubav nas čini jačima! Ponekad ljubav boli, ali moramo ...

It was raining when these photographs were taken and the weather was rather gloomy, but I didn't mind. Can you guess why? Recently I've talked about my love for patterns and prints. Well, I'm feeling quite happy right now because I received two dresses from dresslink. Both of them are exactly my cup of tea. It feels so nice to slip into a cute dress. It always make me feel more feminine and lady like. That would be all for today. Have a great weekend!  Kišilo je kada su ove fotografije uslikane i vrijeme je bilo poprilično sumorno, ali nije me bilo briga. Možete li pogoditi zašto? Nedavno sam pričala o svojoj ljubavi prema uzorcima. Danas sam poprilično sretna jer sam dobila dvije haljine od dresslinka. Obje su baš po mome guštu. Lijep je osjećaj nositi neku slatku haljinu. Odmah se osjećam ženstveno i više kao dama. Ugodan vikend!  post update: Another way to wear this pattern dress. This polka dot pattern with roses is so chic! striped dress/haljina na prugice...

" A play may be violent, full of motion: yet it has that special kind of repose which allows contemplation and produces the climate in which tragic importance is a possible thing, provided that certain modern conditions are met. In actual existence the moments of love are succeeded by the moment of safety and sleep. The sincere remark is followed by a cynic distrust. Truth is fragmentary, at best: we love and betray each other not in quite the same breath but in two breaths that occur in fairly close sequence."                                       The Timeless World of a Play , Tennessee Williams "Drama može biti nasilna, u stalnom kretanju, no  ipak ima onu posebno vrstu pribranosti koja omogućava promišljanje i stvara klimu u kojoj je tragična važnost mogućnost, ukoliko se izađe u susret nekim modernim uvjetima. U stvarnosti, trenutci ljubavi se nastavljaju na trenutke sig...

 What is your solution for those really cold days? I tend to fight the cold with layering and exposing as little skin as possible. That means scarves, gloves, caps, puffers and long coats....all those things I like to call full winter gear. Lately I've been quite enjoying this challenge of wearing as much clothes as humanly possible. This year (perhaps for the first time), I'm not at all impatient for the Spring to arrive but rather I'm enjoying this Winter. I'm not complaining about the wind (south or nothern) and I'm not bothered by the rain. If the night is too cold for a long evening walk, I have my fabulous book collection to rely on. Koje je vaše rješenje za one doista hladne dane? Ja se nosim s hladnoćom uz pomoć slojevitoga odijevanja i minimalnoga otkrivanja kože. To znači šalove, rukavice, kape, debele jakne i duge kapute...i sve te stvari koje volim zvati punom zimskog opremom.  U zadnje vrijeme poprilično uživam u tom izazovu nošenja što više odjeć...
