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

Today it had been raining all day and I have spent a condiserable amount of time in a car. As you can plainly see there  is  where the sort of  outfit photos were taken. However, I decided to show you something else as well(hope you like it): jewerlly that I have made myself. Danas pada kiša cili dan, a i većinu vrimena san provela u autu, di san se i slikala tako da i nisu neke kvalitete. No, pripremila san vam slije nakita kojeg sam izradila pa se nadan da će van se svidit.  About the outfit: The clothes is all vintage. I have found this lovely blue sweater and shirt while I was organizing my closet. The faux leather coat is a gift from a friend. Everyone's always asking me where I bought it and  I basically have no clue where it is from. I always wear it when it is raining because it is as if it was made for it.  The necklace I'm wearing I have made myself some time ago. I'm not sure how well you can see the necklace. I'm wearing it as a...

 What follow is my personal opinion about three Pre fall collection.  I would love to hear your thoughts as well! Givenchy First of all I was distracted by the ugliest shoes I have seen in a while. I know that is besides the point really, forgive me but  I had to get it out in the open . The collection has something new and fresh about it. Peraps the usage  of pattens? That is the main thing I like about it. Now, I have to be frank. I'm not crazy about the cuts or the dull colours that even the patterns cannot revive. C plus. Céline  About this one I feel conflicted. Some pieces (for example  the long coats) are breathtakingly beautiful, while some just don't stand out…I just have to say this: They managed to make some really ugly trousers. However, when you look at it all together, it really is quite a collection. If I had to grade it, B plus would just be about it. Alexander Wang I love it!!! Using just three colours (white, black and ...

  Caps and shawls are the essential winter accessory. Not only do they keep us warm, they provide us with the opportunity to make our winter outfits a bit more colourful and stylish. Yesterday while I was trying to bring some order into my closet, I tried some of them. The red knitted cap I almost forgot about and it is so versatile, one can wear it in so many ways. xoxo Kape i šalovi su osnovan dodatak svakoj zimskoj garderobi. Ne samo da nas grije već nam daju i priliku unijeti malo boje i stila u naše zimske odjevne kombinacije. Jučer dok sam čistila ormar odlučila sam probati neke kape i šalove ( i krzno i  rubac). Na ovu crvenu pletenu kapu bila sam skroz zaboravila, a može se nositi na više načina. Pozdrav!

 O čemu pišem danas? Očito to nije ono što sam nosila danas, niti ovih dana, jer su ovo ljetne fotografije (slikane mobitelom pa kvaliteta nije kao obično). Ovo je gradska knjižnica u Splitu koja mi je draga i čije osoblje je uslužno. Volim biti okružena knjigama. Što se odjeće tiče, već ste vidjeli ovu kariranu suknju koju jednostavno obožavam. Žuta boja na mene ostavlja neki dojam veselja pa to je to. Crvenu narukvicu sam sama napravila i zapravo pokušavala sam imitirati koralje. Imam nekoliko komada nakita od koralja zahvaljujući mojim prekrasnim prijateljicama, ali sviđaju mi se i imitacije. Pozdrav svima ! This is good time as any to talk about my love for books. I love libraries, as R. Zelanzy put it being surrounded by books (and all that knowledge) is comforting.  What I will be writing about today? Not about today's outfit since these are summer photos (taken with the cam so the quality is not that great). I like yellow, for m...

I've been making jewellry for a long time. Someday I might wrote more about it, but for now just a few photos.  On the left, you can see a bit unusual pieces that I have made for my proom. When you're designing and making something by yourself, why not have fun with it? Try to make something that you cannot find in the shops like that head piece on the photograph bellow.  Pravim nakit već dugo, jednom ću možda malo više napisati o tome, ali zasada samo par fotki. Evo fotografija nalijevo je s moje maturalne zabave,  a napravila sam nekakav neobičnu ogrlicu i naušnice za tu priliku.  Kada nešto osmišljavate i pravite za sebe, zašto se ne zabaviti s tim? Pokušajte napraviti nešto što se ne može pronaći u dućanima, kao ovaj ukras za glavu koji nosim na fotografiji ispod. and now I want to wish you much blessings. Today it is a special day for many! Happy Christmas to everyone who is celebrating it today! Sretan Božić svima koji ga danas slave!...

I still haven't presented my Christmas day outfit. So here it is. The day was windy and warm. I went for a long walk.  Još vam nisam pokazala što sam nosila na Božić, pa evo da i to obavim. Bila je južina, dakle vjetrovito i toplo, a krenula sam bila u dugu šetnju.   1. Sea- More I love the sea. In winter or summer, it doesn't matter. I always love to be near the sea. When I was a little girl I even believed the sea was a deity of some form.  Obožavam more. Ljeti, zimi nije mi ni najmanje važno, volim biti uz more uvijek. Kada sam bila djevojčica, vjerovala sam čak da je more neka vrsta božanstva. 2. Pješački most/ foot bridge                      3. University library in Split (behind me) / Sveučilišna knjižnica u Splitu (iza mene) coat: a gift/ shoes: nosens/ skirt: vintage/ upper sweatshirt: Tally Weijl Have a lovely weekend! 

I feel intoxicated with beauty. I really do. Let me elaborate. Today the day is so sunny and warm, it feels like spring.  This morning I went hiking with my husband. We took a bunch of photos, I of scenery, he of me. Mind you, this is a hiking outfit, so comfort was important. When you're spending a significant amount of time out in the open, weather conditions are something to be taken into account. It might have been pretty warm, but it is still winter. Once again layering saved the day. 1. Without a coat It was so warm I almost didn't need a coat. Almost. I did wear one later on( as you will see if you look at all the photos) when I was at the side of the hill where it is windy. But here at this spot it wasn't necessary at all.  “Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”  Franz Kafka “A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of hi...
