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

This post is long overdo. Actually these photographs were taken as far back as last Spring. I know, they've been in the archives for a while now. All the reason more to finally share them here. The location where these photographs were taken is Rodoch. If you want to see more photographs from this place, you can check out this recent post of mine . Ova objava dosta kasni jer zapravo ove fotografije su uslikane prošloga proljeća. Znam, znam, već su dugo u arhivi. Razlog više da ih konačno podijelim. Lokacija za ove fotografije bio je Rodoč. Želite li vidjeti više fotografija iz ovoga mjesta, možete ih vidjeti u ovoj nedavnoj objavi . Ova dvorišta puna neba i ptica                         These yards filled with sky and birds uđu kao muzika stara                            like old music access a place nekad duboko u nas ...

Do you ever wish you could travel back in time? Time travel is a very popular theme in science fiction. I can't tell you how many novels about time travel I have read so far. However, that is not what I wanted to talk about. Advancement of technology may very well allow us to physically travel back in time some day but there are other way to travel back in time. Our mind can take us anywhere, as long as we know how to use it. Yesterday I read one famous classic (my review  here ). While I was reading that outstanding classic, I felt like I was travelling back in time. Speaking of travelling back in time, some places might take us back in time. You know, every time I visit this little touristic village (still under construction) in Medugorje (Bosnia and Herzegovina), I feel like I have indeed travelled back in time. I suppose that is might be one of the reasons why I keep coming back here.  Poželite li ikada da možete putovati u prošlost? Putovanje vremenom je ...

What makes a dress perfect? Is the cut? Is the feeling it gives to us? Is it the gift on increased confidence? Is it a sensation of feeling good in our skin?  What is the important thing in choosing a dress? I suppose that the answer to that question will depend on the person asking the question. I would be curious to know what makes a dress perfect for you. Some people are more sentimental about clothes than others.  For some ladies, the perfect dress is the one they had and loved for a long time. For others, it is that brand new dress that seems to promise a new adventure. Both answers are perfectly valid in my opinion.  *Post update: This post has been updated with my fashion illustrations, so that my 'fashion meditations and musings' could be better visually accompanied. Scroll down to read more.  Some women like to follow trends and there is nothing wrong with that if that is what you enjoy doing. Some women prefer dresses that were popular in other decades. ...

It's time for my favourite feature on this blog. This will be my last Inspired by post this month. My hand is not healing well, so I won't be doing any drawing/painting any time soon. It's been two weeks since my art related hand injury and my hand still hurts. Who knew drawing was so dangerous? Anyhow, I painted this one with acrylic paints, the medium is acrylics on cardboard. I planned to apply another layer of paint, but I had to leave it as it is because my hand is in no state for painting. I do love this outfit I illustrated. It is so feminine, isn't it?  The girl I illustrated is a dear fellow blogger Ivana  from blog bambolai . Check  her outfit  here  to see the inspiration behind this painting.  Vrijeme je za moju najdražu rubriku na ovom blogu objavu ovoga mjeseca, a ova će biti zadnja  Nadahnuta s  ovoga mjeseca. Ruka mi se ne oporavlja dobro, tako da se neću baviti crtanjem/slikanjem još neko vrijemo.  Prošla su dva tjedna...
