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

It is not a secret that blue is one of my favourite colours. In painting, I use it often. Today's painting is dominated by blue. The women depicted is not only wearing a blue dress, her hair is also blue. Is this a blue haired modern princess? Perhaps. They say that every girl wants to be a princess. Why not?  In one sense, we can all achieve it. In a sense of inner nobility. They teach us to be modest, not to dream big lest we get disappointed. Do you know what I have to say to that? That to love others, we also need to be peace with ourselves. We don't have to be into ourselves, we don't need to think we're the best thing ever, but we need to be wary of feeding our insecurities. There is a big difference between self-critique and self-loathing.  In other words, there is nothing wrong in dreaming. If we don't believe that we can be more than we are, how are we to become more? Nije tajna da mi je plava jedna od najdražih boja. U slikarstvu, često je koristim....

Let's talk about cropped flares. Have you ever tried wearing them? If you remember, I mentioned cropped and capri pants in my post yesterday. Then I said they are a great choice if you want to make your boots stand out more in these colder months. The same goes for shoes naturally. What ever type of shoe you choose to wear with capri and cropped trousers, you can be sure it will be in the spotlight. Now, I've always loved capris and I'm happy to see that flared capri pants are becoming a trend. Cropped flares  are nothing new to me. You saw me wear flared cropped pants at least a couple of times here on the blog. I love them but I have a confession to make. All those cropped flares I have and that I wear regularly are basically regular flares that look cropped on me. Because of my body shape (short torso as compared to legs), I often end up with pants that look cropped even when they're not. There is an expression for this in my hometown Split, we say you're miss...

Today's illustration is inspired by Ivana from bambolai blog (check out her blog here ).  I placed the video first because....You might not believe this, but I actually managed to misplace this illustration. So, the only place where you can see the final version (for now at least) is the video I've shared. I've been trying to find it for two days and no luck so far. That doesn't mean that today all you will get to see is this video. I will also share this photograph from my Instagram profile but that's not the final version. The final version is somewhere in my home, but where exactly I have no idea. I hope I will manage to find it before I do my annual recap of fashion illustrations inspired by fashion bloggers ( I'm really looking forward to that one). Are you? Današnja ilustracija je nadahnuta s Ivanom s bloga bambolai (svratite to njenoga bloga tu ).  Prvo sam stavila video jer...Vjerovali il ne uspjela sam zagubiti ovu ilustraciju. Tako da je jedino...

Hello! Today I have prepared something a bit different for you. A bit of fashion inspiration.  How to wear boots in Autumn and Winter? One of the easiest way to make them stand out is to wear them with skirts and dresses. If you are a pants person, you can pair them with cropped and capri jeans and pants. That way they will still be visible. There is another tactic but it works only with skinny jeans and pants- you just tuck them in your boots. Well, you can actually fold your flares too if you do it carefully and fold them the right way, but that only works with a certain style of boots. I'm sure I'm not inventing anything new but sometimes it is good to be reminded of something. So, these would be the ways you can make your boots more visible in the colder months. However, if you want to keep extra warm, remember that the best way to do that is to wear pants over your boots, preferably a wider pair. This will make your feet extra warm and happy. Zdravo! Danas sam za vas p...
