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

Today it's raining cats and dogs in Mostar. I just got back home from the library and I'm soaking wet not to mention that I managed to slip down  and almost injured myself (I'm not so crazy about the rain right now). Anyway  I'm in Mostar again (the photos I took for the last post were taken here). However, the photographs  I want to show you were taken in Split on Christmas Eve. It was one of the most beautiful days ever, sunny and warm. I decided to have some fun so I mixed different colours and patterns together.  On top of it all I wore a dark (sort of grunge ) corduroy  coat I haven't worn since High school. (not that  I needed the coat during the day.)  Danas kiša pada kao iz kabla u Mostaru. Vratila sam se i knjižnice skoro pokisla do kože. Usput sam se uspjela i poskliznuti i skoro se razbiti tako da nisam baš luda za kišom u ovom trenutku. Kao što rekoh, u Mostaru sam opet i one fotogra...

Hello readers and fellow bloggers.  I'm wearing shoes I got from my husband for Christmas. I have to say they just might be the most comfortable shoes ever. I like mid skirts, so this velvet one really works for me.  Lipi moji, kako ste? Danas evo nosim božični poklon, cipele koje sam dobila od muža i moram reći kako su to najudobnije cipele ikad. Ova suknja je jako topla, inače obožavam pliš, a i ova dužina mi odgovara. POST UPDATE 2024 DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF MOSTAR?

Post update- see how I wore this dress  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2023/07/a-hot-summer-in-mostar-city-nine.html  This dress is one of my all time favourite pieces! HOW I WORE THIS PLEATED FLORAL VINTAGE DRESS BEFORE! 2021- tips on how to layer this dress!  I often reach for this special vintage dress. You've seen me wear it  here  and  here  in summer. I've had this dress since forever. The material is polyester but due to its A-line cute this dress is wonderfully comfortable to wear in summer. I even wear it for travelling (proof  here ). My mother got this pink dress from her relatives and she wore it to a wedding when she was about nineteen. I discovered it in her closet when I was about that age and wore it to one wedding. I liked it so much that it became one of most worn vintage dresses in my closet. I wear it all year around. During Autumn and Winter I wear it with sweaters and  blazers .  Hello everyone, I hope...

What is your choice on a cold winter day: a puffer or a long coat? Which one is warmer? Koji je vaš izbor za hladni zimski dan: debela jakna ili dugački kaput? Što je toplije? Neću puno pričati (tipkati) danas, umjesto toga  evo još par fotografija zime u Splitu koja je na moje zadovoljstvo, većinom sunčana ovih dana. I won't talk (type) much today. Here is a few more photos of Split during winter. To my great satisfaction, winter in Split has been a good sport( lots of sunny day). I want to thank everyone for commenting. It does mean a lot to me and it makes me smile:) Have a wonderful day, filled with love and joy. Želim se svima zahvaliti na komentiranju. Doista mi puno znači i donosi osmijeh na lice. Želim vam prekrasan dan, ispunjen ljubavlju i radošću.

 I tako dovršila sam kolet( ovratnik) košulje, ušila još zlatnih botuna( dugma) i sada mi boje(bolje) izgleda.   So I finished up the collar  on that white shirt (the last post was about that among other things), decorated it with a few more golden bottons, I believe it looks better now. What do you think? Does it look o.k? Što vi mislite, je li sada kako treba? Oprostite na ovom pospanom izgledu, ove dvije su snimljene jučer navečer. Evo i par slija (fotografija)  bora (tehnički gledano jelke ili jele, ali provjerila sam u hrvatskom se može kazati Božični bor čak i kad je drugo drvo u pitanju)...  Here are a few photos of a Christmas tree:

 No. 1- one of the most comfortable shoes I ever had.  ( Emphasis on the "had" because ever since I took them to the shoemaker they haven't been the same. I don't know what he had done with them, I just needed to replace the heel top, but someone he managed to make them unstable. Anyway, if you find a similar model I recommend  you buy them. ) I wish I could buy them anew but I doubt I will find them in the store I got them in.  No.2. blue blouse. You know how there are some items of clothing that you fall in love at first sight? This shirt I bought at second hand shop and it goes well with almost everything, it's very easy to style. I love the material and the design. Do you shop at second hand shops? I do, but not very often. Actually, this year I did it for the first time. No. 3 Jeans. I know, it's kind of obvious but denim is the most familiar blue in our lives, right? It is as present in our lives as the sky above. ....and now, one ...
