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

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you doing? Life seems to be coming back to normal slowly. Today I'll show you what I wore for a wedding in Herzegovina. The wedding was held in agricultural hotel and country house Marića Gaj. The wedding reception was a bit different because of the restrictions, but it all went well. My outfit was quite simple. You know what they say- when in doubt, wear a little black dress.  I wore a black A-line dress and a pair of leopard heels . I finished the look with a small black bag and a pair of earrings. Once again, I shopped my closet for this look.  HOW I STYLED THIS DRESS BEFORE? 11 WAYS TO STYLE A LBD   I actually wore  this cocktail dress  a few posts ago (remember the outfit where I layered a white tunics under it). I got about eleven wears from it so far, not bad considering I had it for about two years. I'm sure I'll get to 30 wears eventually. It is one of those dresses that are easy to style up and...

We are back in Mostar city, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I hope you don't mind me switching from one country to another. Regular readers of my blog know that I'm from Croatia but my husband is from Bosnia and Herzegovina. We sort of live in both countries. There's no telling where we might spend the next week. I'm all about local travel and exploring the area I live in, I just happen to live in two countries. Anyhow, I'm taking you to a secret lake that not many know of or visit! I didn't know about it until my husband showed it to me. Now, I love coming here.   WHAT TO WEAR FOR HIKING IN THE SUMMER? Here you can see me wearing a sensible hiking outfit suitable for summer weather. Once again, I shopped my closet. Last time I wore  this white ruffled tunics  was in this post when I layered it under the dress. This time I tucked it into a maxi gypsy skirt (last worn  here  in April). I finished the look with no name sneak...

Am I really blogging about a highway stop? Well, I am. It is not just any highway stop, it is one that has the reputation of being something special. It is located in vicinity of national park Krka. This is probably the most beautiful highway rest stop in Croatia.  Generally speaking, new Croatian highways are just fantastic and there are some really lovely rest stops along the way. However, this one tops them all. If you search the Internet, you will see there are many positive reviews on it. Odmorište Krka (translates as Rest Stop Krka) offers some fantastic views.  You can enjoy a spectacular panorama of Skradin town. There is also a nice restaurant and cafe. The whole area is immaculate. If you're taking the highway, this is the place to stop and rest. We took these images back in May, when we visited relatives that live in this area. As always, it was lovely stopping here. We had some coffee, snap some photographs and then we continued on our way.  THE STORY OF MY O...

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers. How are you doing? My life lately has been a mix of sad and happy news.  That's just life. Today we'll have a walk in vicinity of Mostar city. First we'll stop by restaurant Ruža that has a sentimental meaning for us.  After all, we'll go for a stroll at Bunica river. You know how much I love Buna recreational area, don't you? My outfit is all about being feminine an girly while staying comfortable. Who says you cannot be smart and comfortable at the same time?  THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT- HOW I WORE THESE ITEMS BEFORE?  Once again I shopped my closet. You can see how I wore this white A-line dress before here ,   here , here  , here,  and here . I think I have worn this dress at least a dozen times so far. A-line dresses are so practical for warm weather. They can be so elegant and chic but at the same time so comfortable. I think I'll hit 30 wears with this dress in no time. Now, when it comes to this navy fla...

First of all, special thanks to my husband for taking these wonderful photographs. I have fallen in love with him about the same time I have fallen in love with Mostar city. So, I guess it is appropriate to thank both of them. Mostar city for proving me with a wonderful background to my outfit photographs and my husband for taking the photographs. I always repeat that Mostar city is such a beautiful city, certainly one of the most gorgeous cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I absolutely love how these outfit photographs came out. I quite like the outfit itself. It features some creative spring layering. I'm quite proud of myself for figuring out that I can wear this white tunics under one of my A-line dresses .  It's all about three colours: burgundy, black and white. Sure, there are other colours in this outfit that come in the shape of details on my tunics  (and a bit of pattern with the leopard heels ) but the focus is on these three colours. I think the combination of these...
