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

We still have months of winter ahead of us, so discussing winter outwear seems appropriate. I've wanted to write this post for a while. I already discussed winter accessories with you. Now, the idea is to discuss my favourite winter coats and jackets with you. Hopefully, I'll give you some options to consider. Winter outwear is a big part of winter fashion. One could even argue that outwear is possibly the most important part of winter style. With a warm and stylish coat, you're more than half way there, one might say.  So, that's what I'll talk about today. Nevertheless, this post will be mostly visual. I will share outfits featuring my favourite coats and jackets. In addition, I'll share some of my fashion illustrations as well. Considering that this post will be very photograph heavy, I'll try to keep the fashion talk short and just share why do I like certain winter garments and why I think they are useful. Feel free to share your winter style secr...

 Hi, there! Today I'm back with some new fashion drawings and location recommendations. First, I'll show you some new designs I've been working on and then I talk a bit about Planinica and Goranci . Both of these locations were featured on this blog often enough, but once more can't hurt, right? Besides, don't you love these views? I always loved mountain views. What about you? This double fashion illustration portraying two ladies in mermaid gowns was a result of insomnia. Chronic paint makes it hard for me to get a good night sleep. Not getting any sleep makes my pain worse. Living with a severe autoimmune illness feels like a vicious circle at the best of times. I can't take pain killers because that will upset my already weaken digestive system (or what's left of it after the resection operation) and being in pain all the time makes it impossible for me to rest. Not to mention that I also have fever- all the time.  So, you can imagine how wonderful...

First of all, congrats to Mica from away from the blue blog for winning the art  giveaway  I hosted. If you remember, the only requirement for the giveaway was that you write why you like the three watercolour paintings I offered. I like to keep my art giveaway rules simple and open to anyone (no matter whether they are a follower or not) so I left the option of email instead of a blog contact. However, I didn't receive any emails. Mica wrote she likes the watercolour paintings because her favourite colour was blue in a blog comment so there is that. Prints of these paintings will probably eventually be available in my redbubble shop  under artist name IvanaKada. Originals will be shipped to the winner. Today I'll be talking about things you can do in ethno village Herceg in Herzegovina. Today I'm taking you to Ethno Village Herceg in Međugorje (official site etno herceg ). This post is neither sponsored nor a collaboration (not that I would mind such an offer...
