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

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Unless that crown is made of braids. Someone remarked that my hear- do today looks like a crown so that is as a good reason to quote Shakespeare as any. ( In original text it is actually " Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown" but for some reason it is always misquoted)  . Lipi moji, kako ste? Teška je grana pod krunom, ali ne ako je to kruna od pletenica. Netko mi je danas rekao da mi ove pletenice izgledaju kao kruna pa  moram malo citirati Shakespeara, ali neću ulaziti u filozofske rasprave, bez brige.  “I know you all, and will awhile uphold The unyoked humour of your idleness. Yet herein will I imitate the sun, Who doth permit the base contagious clouds To smother up his beauty from the world, That when he please again to be himself, Being wanted, he may be more wondered at By breaking through the foul and ugly mists Of vapours that did seem to strangle him. If all the year were playing holidays, To sport would be a...

Sometimes wearing a puffer can make me feel like a bear. Honestly, I don't mind as long as I'm warm. It sure was cold today, so I'm really happy I opted for this red puffer. To tell you the truth, this puffer is from men's department and hence a size too big. I wore it with a belt to make it a bit more lady like and I paired it with this wonderful new skirt I got. Ponekad se osjećam kao medo kad nosim debelu jaknu, ali iskreno briga me dok mi je toplo. Danas je bilo hladno, tako da je napuhanko bio dobra ideja. Ovoj crvenoj jakni sa muškog odijela dodala sam remen da bi je učinila malo ženstvenijom, a obukla sam i ovu divnu suknju koju sam kupila prije par dana.  DIY About the outfit: puffer: Umbro skirt: Edi niš boots: Borsa bag: Borsa

Danas me čeka naporan dan, pa malo zafrkavanja nije naodmet. Uvijek su mi se sviđale blesave fotografije. Želim vam svima ugodan vikend:) Today I have a long day ahead of me, so a little bit of goofing around seems appropriate. I always liked silly photos. Have a great weekend!

As you can see I still have a thing for baseball caps...and long coats....and these pants from fashion house Uzor. Anyway, don't you just love those sunny winter days? I'll keep this post short. Here are a few photographs taken at Međugorje (Bosnia and Herzegovina) last Sunday. A LEATHER JACKET FOR A VISIT TO MEĐUGORJE null https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2022/01/styling-leather-jacket-for-visit-to.html MY PREVIOUS VISITS TO MEĐUGORJE  DECEMBER 2020 -  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2020/12/how-to-style-pleated-skirt-in-winter.html MEĐUGORJE- A GREEN OASIS OF PEACE AND QUIET - Being sustainable with travel is another great idea. You can do it by being a local tourist and exploring the areas you would otherwise visit for various.  The location where these photographs were taken is Međugorje (Medjugorje), a small touristic village in Herzegovina. Most of tourists that come to this village do so for religious reasons as Medjugorje is one of the most visi...

Can you guess the DIY in today's outfit? There are the jeans obviously...and those big earrings are my creation. The DIY pink shirt you cannot see well, but with a help of some paint, it is now  full of my favourite proverbs. You'll probably see the shirt when the weather gets warm enough to make coats unnecessary...  In the meantime you can see  a photo of "how it is made?"  These earrings I have made about 8 years ago and as you can see they don't look as well as they used to...I still love them, though. They're very light so they don't hang heavy on the ears. In addition, they are one of a kind. " Vivi e lascio vivere"  My life's philosophy. I think of myself as pretty much a tolerant person, I think we should embrace the fact we are created  unique and different from each other. I cannot understand people who refuse to accept others just because they have a different sexual or social  identity. As you can ...

If we are to believe the historians, the first jewellery (or jewelry if you speak AE) was made  about  75 000 years ago and it was worn by the African ladies. In that sense, jewellery (BE) could just be the first fashion statement. Here is a necklace that I made from fimo.  I've only showed you one photo of it so far. What do you think? I love statement jewellery and statement necklaces are just about perfect way to do it. In winter I think they go perfect with turtle necks and shirts. This blue turtle neck is one of the few things that I have bought recently. I haven't done much shopping during the sales.  Ako ćemo vjerovat povijesničarima, prvi nakit nosile su žene  u Africi prije 75 000 godina, pa nakit možda možemo smatrati i prvim modnim izričajem naše vrste.  Evo ogrlice od fima koju sam sama osmislila i napravila. Sviđa li vam se? Volim izražajan nakit, a velike ili upečatljive ogrlice zimi, rekla bih, savršeno idu preko košulja i...
