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

They say we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but sometimes a cover can give us a pretty good idea about what kind of a book it might be. I picked this up from the library because I really liked the cover. Plus, I wanted to read something different. Lately I've been reading a lot of classics, so I was in a mood for something lighter. Chic-lit? Why not? I might give it a try once in a while. Turns out it is not my cup of tea after all, but I don't regret picking it up. It was a fun light read. A bit too light for my taste, but no hard feelings. It is not that I really disliked it, it just wasn't my kind of book. Kažu da ne bismo trebali suditi knjigu po koricama, ali ponekad nam korice daju naslutiti kakva bi mogla biti knjiga. Ovu sam posudila iz knjižnice jer mi se svidjela naslovnica. Uz to, htjela sam pročitati nešto drugačije. U zadnje vrijeme čitam puno klasike, pa sam htjela probati nešto drugačije. Chic-lit? Zašto ne? Mogu i to povremeno probati.  Ispada d...

Recently I discovered a series of documentaries Future of Fashion, presented   by Alexa Chung. I loved everything about it really. The production, the themes, the editing and  the concept- everything was brilliant. Naturally, I also loved the presenter. This is Alexa Chung at her most adorable. Nevertheless, she also knew when to be serious and professional, depending on the theme and the context of the episode. I really feel that she has put her best foot forward. As a presenter she was very top of the game but I also loved how she included her personal experiences in fashion.  Nedavno sam otkrila dokumentarni serijal Budućnost mode kojega vodi Alexa Chung. Sve mi se u vezi ovoga serijala svidjelo. Produkcija, teme, montaža i sami koncept- sve je bilo savršeno. Naravno, jako mi se svidjela voditeljica. Alexa Chung je i inače jako simpatična, ali u ovom serijalu je stvarno preslatka. No, zna kada biti i ozbiljna i jako profesionalna, ovisno o temi i kontekstu neke ...

Can you save a penny by reading blogs? I think one can save quite a few pennies by reading blogs...and I'm not talking about discounts or giveaways a blog reader might benefit from. I admit that the penny I'm talking about is more methaphorical. I'm actually referring to that that famous ‘a penny for your thoughts’ saying. For isn’t blogging (and hence blog reading) often all about reading what other people have on their mind? Do you want to know what is on my mind?  Hemingway and gender identity/roles, Jung and his poetic passage about love, Dracula and some newer works in the genre (one of them is this one ).  Two documentaries on fashion that I saw and forgot to write about. What to cook for lunch today? What should I paint today? Naturally, I’m also thinking about what I should post today…on this as well as on my other blog.  Sometimes it is hard to decide how much to share. How many words should an ideal blog post have? How to know when an article is too long? How...

 My (fashion) illustrations and paintings have played a key part in my blogging last month. That is why I decided to decidate a special post to them. If you missed anything last month, now you can catch up. I also included quotes and links to the post, so (if you want to, you can put the pictures in the context. Kada se radi o mome bavljenju blogom prošloga mjeseca, (modne) ilustracije i slike su igrale ključnu ulogu. Stoga sam im odlučila posvetiti posebnu objavu. Ako ste što propustili prošloga mjeseca, sada možete nadoknaditi. Uključila sam i poveznice na objave, a i citate iz objava, tako da možete ako želite povezati sliku s porukom.  http://modaodaradosti.blogspot.ba/2016/10/cheers-to-autumn-welcome-october.html "A new month always feel like a fresh start, doesn't it? There is something lovely about a day that is the first day of something. First of a new month, a new year, a new relationship, a new job, a new school or university year and so on. In...
