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

Hi, just a quick post this time. I'm a bit under the weather. I have a cold that just won't go away. Anyway, this is what I wore today. I'm not sure does it works btw. I like the things I have worn (for example this blouse that I have had forever), but I'm not sure how everything works together. It was a casual look, but still I felt something was missing. Zdravo, evo na brzinu jedan post prije nego što se opružim u horinzontalu. Imam prehladu koje se ne mogu rješiti, stalno neka temeratura, nego da ne davim...ovo sam danas nosila, ali nisam sigurna da li dobro izgleda. To je jedna opuštena kombinacija, ali opet imala sam osjećaj da nešto nedostaje. Pozdrav! ...ali zato za kraj ostavljam vas sa jednom fotografijom divne Neretve (da opet sam u Mostaru).

This is a place I've visited very often. Etno village Herceg is situated near Međugorje in Herzegovina. (Bosnia and Herzegovina). This is a place where you can spend a relaxing day, have lunch, buy souvenirs and see a little zoo (with domestic not exotic animals). In addition, you can also rent one of these houses for a stay. I'm not sure of the price as I had never done it but you can check online. As I have said, I've been here so many times...at this point I'm  almost bored of it and impatient to see new etno village that is being constructed  near by. If you remember, I had also showed you photos of that place. Don't say that I don't take you anywhere, dear readers;)

I do love this vintage blazer. Today's outfit is almost completely vintage, the only exception are heels from Peko and a bag from Borsa store.  It's hard to resist Peko shoes when they have an outlet where I live. That's all for today! Have a nice day. Lipi moji, kako ste mi danas? Današnja odjevna kombinacija je gotovo u potpunosti vintage. Cipele su nove (iz Peka...  kako da odolim kad imaju outlet u mojoj zgradi?),  a torba koju stalno nosim iz Borse. Volim klasične odjevne predmete, a danas sam iskombinirala različite nijanse zelene: boju mente, maslinastu i tamno zelenu.

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...
