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

This little grey dress is so easy to combine. It seems to go well with everything. I certainly have worn it in different ways. A dress like this you can dress up easily, just wear fancy shoes and accessories. For dressing it down you can pair it with sneakers and go for a sporty look. Anyway, the weather today is as you can see, almost too good to be true. In fact, it feels like summer! There was so much sunshine that I chose to wear a summer hat (again)... I have to say....being able to wear short sleeves feels so gooood! Ovu sivu haljinicu tako je lako kombinirati. Čini mi se da ide dobro sa svime. Ovakvu haljinu može se lako pretvoriti u sređeniju varijantu, uz neke lijepe cipele i modne dodatke...a može biti i skoz ležerna, pa čak i sportska, ako se nosi uz tenisice. Uglavnom, ovakvo nešto dobar je dodatak bilo kojoj garderobi. Danas je vrijeme skoro predobro da bi bilo istinito i čak imam dojam da je ljeto, a ne proljeće. Toliko je bilo sunčano da sam i danas stavila lje...

Am I feeling the Monday blues today? Hell no! It is a beautiful day here in Split today and all of the sudden a bunch of tourists appeared out of nowhere...how do they always know when it is the right time to show up?  Today I'm finally sure that the spring has arrived, in fact it feels  like summer. Besides that, I have another reason to be happy. Tonight I'm seeing Puccini  on stage for the first time! Isn't that fantastic?  Anyway, today my outfit is all about making animal print classical....this is one of my low cost outfits and yet it makes me feel quite lady like which goes to prove that don't need much money to create a certain look. The hat is borrowed, the blouse is from Terra nova (5euros) and the heels from Peko (7 euros) and even the tights were something like 2 euros. The skirt is ( I think) my mum's. I love vintage so I'm happy she saved up her clothes from the 60ties/70ties/80ties...and a pencil skirt is som...

Ciao, cari. Come state?  Spero che hai avuto un bel tempo per il fine settimana e che siete tutti pronti per una nuova settimana.  Dear friends, how are you? Hope you had a lovely weekend and that you're all ready for a new week. Dragi moji, kako ste? Nadam se da ste se lijepo proveli za vikend i da ste spremni za novi tjedan. Lipi moji, kako ste? Nadan se da ste se lipo proveli ovega vikenda i da ste orni i friški za novu šetemanu;)

Literally translated Stari Grad means Old Town. The name is indeed appropriate for it is one of the oldest city in Croatia, sometimes considered the oldest one. In fact, it is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is protected by UNESCO. The town was ( formally) founded by the ancient Greeks  from the island of Paros  in 384 BC. In the Italian language  Stari Grad is known as  Cittàvecchia.  The  etymology of the island is very interesting. In my years at the University, I have written some papers on the subject. For now I'll just say that the original name the Greeks gave to Stari Grad was  Faros . The Greeks were not the first people that had lived there( the neolithic tribes lived there between 3500 and 2500 BC)  but they were the first who had formed a city.  As you know, the culture and cities of the ancient Greeks are quite famous. I'm not sure how familiar with the history of the Adriatic you...

Hi:) Today I'm sharing just a few photos. I had such a lovely time yesterday. I decided to wear a dress that I had bought for my brother's wedding some time ago. I really like it but I always forget about it. Funny how that happens, right? The colour of dress is really interesting and I love the fact that it is not too short so it is appropriate for formal occasions. Some of you suggested that I wear something colourful so I decided to go with that, the combination of pink and purple seemed right. Again, thank you for advice on what to wear. xoxo  Evo par fotografija sa promocije (neću vas zatrpati fotografijama kao u prošlom postu). Bilo mi je jako lijepo, a kako i ne bi bilo? Mislim da je svima bilo.  Odlučila sam se za haljinu koju sam kupila za bratove svatove i koju nisam često nosila, uvijek je zaboravim, iako mi se zapravo jako sviđa, prvo zbog dužine (nije prekratka), a onda i zbog zanimljive boje. Mislim da je roza i ljubičasta dobra kombinacija. Hva...

Island Visovac is a magical place, I don't know how to describe it it any other way. No wonder, for it is situated in national park Krka and has a long and interesting history. I really enjoyed my short stay there and felt very inspired by its serene environment. The national park Krka I have visited before, but this March was the first time that I have visited  this island. The way to get there is by a boat. In the season (spring and summer) there is a boat every hour or so and the fee isn't high (something like 10 euros I think).  We didn't have to pay anything, because it had been Sunday so the boat was taking the people to mass for free. On the island of Visovac a catholic monastery is settled. In fact, the whole island is the property of the catholic church. However, it is open to everyone( a lot of tourists visit it) and you don't have to be belong to any particular religion or be religious at all to appreciate its beauty. The...

First of all, I want to thank you all for your wonderful suggestion about my outfit for the graduation ceremony. You've given me a lot of great ideas. Now, about this photograph, it was taken last year and I believe it captures the essence of  spring beautifully. I have a special place in my heart for the flower pattern. xoxo Prvo da vam zahvalim na divnim idejama za promociju, mislim da ću sada lakše smislit što ću obući, sviđaju mi se vaši prijedlozi, a uvijek je zanimljivo čuti mišljenja o tome. Ova fotografija je slikana prošle godine, ali smatram da lijepo predočuje srž proljeća. Mislim da u mome srcu postoji posebno mjesto za cvjetni uzorak.
