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

arty nails Yesterday it was sunny and windy and all chances are it'll going to be the same today. Leather coat, leather belt, leather boots....You know leather is just perfect for windy weather. Why do you think bikers wear leather jackets? This way I was really cozy and comfortable. To make it a bit more interesting, I wore some fun socks and a greenish mid length skirt (underneath is a yellow tee and a jacket). I'm in Mostar again btw. Evo me opet iz Splita u Mostar. Ovdje je isto burno i sunčano vrijeme, a savršeno rješenje za vjetar je koža i koža...Što mislite zašto motoristi nose kožne jakne? ....i tako evo me u kožnom kaputu, sa kožnim remenom (kaišom) , kožnom torbom (boršom) i naravno kožnim čizmicama.  Da ne bi bilo dosadno tu su crno bijele čarapice i svijetlo zelena haljina, a ispod je bila i žuta majica (a preko nje jaknica što se ne vidi, žao mi je, ali ja se ne skidam samo zbog fotografiranja).

Gotta love those sunny day. I love the sun, who cares if it happens to be windy as long as there is pleanty of sunshine! If I had lived in the old pagan days, I'm pretty sure I would worship the sun god:)  Tko ne voli sunčane dane? Ja volim sunce, koga briga ako je vjetrovito (ili čak bura) dok god ima dovoljno sunčeve svjetlosti.  Da sam slučajno živjela u prošlosti, u danima poganske religije, štovala bi božanstvo sunca. This white tally wejil faux leather comes from a man's department so it's a size or two too big and thus perfect for layering. Those of you who don't feel comfortable shopping at men's deparment in stores (but really the quality of men's clothes is often better than those for us), just steel your oversized something from someone:) Over size anything can be a pretty good cold solution because it enables to layer it like no one else!!! Thank you for reading this:) xoxo Ova bijela jaknica (imitacija kože...

Evo par fotografija iz arhive, kad nije bilo tako kišovito kao prošlih dana. Mislim da je bijela haljinica uvijek dobar izbor, djeluje pomalo romatično čak i u sportskoj odjevnoj kombinaciji.  Here is a few photos from back when it wasn't so rainy as the last few days.  I feel that a little white dress always goes a long way. To me it feels romantic even in a sporty outfit.

Danas sam vam pripremila par jako jednostavnih stvari koje možete sami uraditi. Today I have prepared for you a few very simple DIYs. 1. Istaknuti ovratnik to bi bio hrvatski prijevod od "statement collar" koji je u zadnje vrijeme u trendu.  Zapravo ovo nije prvi put da radim ovakvo nešto, već sam jedan ovratnik ukrasila ili kako bismo mi u Dalmaciji rekli kolet. Prvi put stavila sam zlatnu dugmad, pa je izgledalo pomalo kao nakit, ali ovaj put odlučila sam se za nešto jednostavnije. Pošto jako volim košulje, nemam srca nijednoj tek tako odrezati ovratnik, pa je varijanta koju sam odabrala jednostavno ukrasiti ovratnik košulje koju već imam ( u ovom slučaju već ukrašen bojama za tkaninu). Sve što vam treba je par botuna (dugmadi) u boji i igla i konac. Jako jednostavno! In short, this would be my take on a statement collar trend. I don't have the heart to cut the collar of any of my shirts so I just decorate the collars on the shirts that seem appropriate for ...

Today I'm presenting one  wonderful blog http://fashionadictas.blogspot.com/  . What I like about this blog is that it joins fashion and art.  Every post is a comparison of a designer and a painter (or an artist).  In that sense it is quite unique. Here is a short interview with the blogger behind fashionadictas. Odlučila sam vam danas predstaviti jedan blog. Ono što mi se sviđa kod njega je što spaja modu i umjetnost. U tom smislu posve je jedinstven. Svaki post je usporedba dizajnera i slikara. Slijedi kratki razgovor sa blogericom koja ga je osmislila.   1. How did you come to an idea to compare art and fashion?  It came naturally. I'm a painter and licensed at art but I'm also studied fashion design.  Fashion has been always very important for me, I like to express myself through me clothes. By other side, art is part of my life and profession, I want to find art also in small things, all motivate my creativity.  By that I decided to join ...
