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

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers. I'm back in Stari Grad. How's life been treating you? My work life has been draining to say the least, I've been working long hours but I won't complain as in today's time we should only be grateful if we have a job. Moving onto the subject of today's post: I'll show you two outfits featuring graphic t-shirt.  In fact, this is the garment I've been relying on lately: a printed t-shirt. Ever since the start of Autumn, I've been wearing a couple of short sleeved t-shirts printed with my original art. Graphic t-shirts are practical for Mediterranean autumn because it can still be quite warm here and really you never know when you'll need to take your blazer or jacket. I find graphic tees a really easy way to jazz up a look. These two t-shirts have been ordered from a local printer (as opposed to my Redbubble shop). Identical prints are available on t-shirts  here and here .  THE STORY OF AN OUTFIT: WEARING A...

Hello dear readers! My last post was from Stari Grad town but today I'm taking you to Stari Grad plain, a UNESCO protected area and a cultural good of Croatia. What is so amazing about Stari Grad plain? How about the fact that is a fully preserved ancient agricultural terrain. The agricultural activity in this field has been continuous for many centuries. When the Greek colonists came to Hvar island and settled in Stari Grad four centuries ago, they organized the plain according to their system. The land was divided into geometrical parcels/ units (chora) divided and bounded by stone walls.  The original Greek system has been preserved through centuries by hard working families who respected the original stone walls and boundaries. The Stari Grad plain has not only remained fully preserved agricultural land four centuries later, the agriculture itself has remained the same. Grapes and olive trees are still main crops grown here. I wonder how those Greek colonizers would feel if th...

Today I have another autumn proposal featuring a graphic t-shirt. The print on this graphic t-shirt is a mixed media painting made by yours truly. Originally it was a watercolour painting of mine, but I transformed it into a digital art piece and uploaded it  to my redbubble shop . However, the printed shirt I'm wearing today is from a local printer, not from RB. I was quite satisfied with the graphic t-shirts (with my art) that I ordered for my husband at this local printer, so I ordered some for myself. It is important to support local businesses in these times.  A graphic tee is always a fun choice and a great way to dress down an outfit. Graphic tees are perfect to add rock or biker chic to our outfits. I wore this graphic t- shirt with a dusty pink skirt , a burgundy jacket , a tote bag and my 'to go' biker boots . All items I have had for a while and worn on this blog a number of times (because shopping our closets is the best way to be sustainable). This proved to ...
