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

I will cut down on talking (i.e writing) as I'm going to share a bunch of photographs with you. One beautiful day and three beautiful Croatian cities... Neću puno pisati jer ću sa vama podijeliti hrpu slika...jedan lijepi dan, tri prekrasna hrvatska grada.

Hello, there! In this post, I will do more than show you what I wore. I'll recommend a movie and a book to you. The End of the Affair is a novel by Graham Greene. I watched the movie and read the book for a class at the University- and I was very grateful to my teacher for the discovery of both.  Do you wear summer hats? Most of the time I do. I figured out that this way I feel a lot more cool...and I mean that in the literal sense of the word, in the sense of "not feeling overheated." Besides, isn't there something romantic about hats? Especially the lady- like hats? Speaking of which- Have you seen the film  " The End of the Affair"? If you haven't, you might want to do it. I LOVED IT. It's really, such a beautiful love story.

I could name the very moment whe...

 I took this photograph (of two tourist girls) last Saturday in Split right in front of the city cathedral. As I was taking photograph of this famous site, the two of them caught my eye. Anyway, I really liked both of these outfits, the printed dress and the pallazzo pants. What do you think? Perfect for summer? Ove dvije turistice uslikala sam prošlu subotu mislim. Dok sam slikala ovo poznato mjesto, njih dvije su mi upale u oko. Uglavnom, jako su mi se svidjele obje odjevne kombinacije, haljina sa zanimljivih uzorkom i široke hlače. Što vi mislite? Savršeno za ljeto?

Today I'm sharing a few of my illustrations with you. This is Inari, Japanese goddes (or  kami) of foxes, prosperity, agriculture, rice and  cunning. Sometimes represented as a women, sometimes man and sometimes as a fox, I find it fascinating and I have attempted to draw her (or him) many times.

Does it ever happens to you that your entire outfitis really about a bag? Usually to be honest, I don't think that much about bags. However, the one I was wearing the other day was special. It was a birthday present from my friends and it's not an easier thing to style. It's lovely but very much a beach bag (or a summertime bag)...shells and everything...so I paired it with a fairly simple outfit (little grey skirt) and a matching necklace. What do you think? ...and do tell me isn't Split just a stunning city? We have so many beautiful beaches here...As you can see on the last photo, the beach season is very much open! Je li vam se ikada dogodi da vam se cijela odjevna kombinacija vrti oko torbe? Ja najčešće i ne razmišljam baš puno o njima, ali ova torba je posebna. Bila je rođendanski dar. divna je, ali  nije je lako uskladiti, ima školjke i sve, ukratko prava ljetna torba ili torba za plažu...pa sam je ukombinirala sa jednostavnom sivom haljinicom...

Hi, today I want to show you different ways to wear a long pink cardigan. I'm doing this post mainly because I think that posts of these sort are fun and I like to read them myself so...I think that an item like this one (in any colour) would fit just nicely into any closet. I bought it a while back and obviously it had proven to be a good investment. It goes with both casual and semi-formal outfits and most importantly I really like it. Danas različite odjevne kombinacije sa ovih dugim ružičastim, kako da ga nazovem,  kardiganom ili što već..volim ovakve postove i uvijek su mi zanimljivi pa sam i ja odlučila napraviti jedan sličan. Mislim da će se ovakav odjevni predmet (u bilo kojoj boji) dobro uklopiti u svaki ormar. Kupila sam ga prije nekog vremena i pokazao se kao dobra investicija tako da..čini mi se da dobro ide uz sve i najvažnije...sviđa mi se. 

In this post, I'll share a poem written by me.  U ovoj objavu podijelit ću pjesmu koju sam sama napisala.  Pokušavam uhvatiti riječi,                Ali skliske su…klize mi iz ruku, Hladne kao led, Moj dodir ih ne može ugrijati. Mogle bi samo nestati, Ali iz leda u vodu, Ne mogu ih pretvoriti. Nikakvu žeđ neće utažiti, Nestale su nečujno, Kao voda u pustinji, Osjete se samo ponekad I više kao nagovještaj. Puštam ih da odu, Njihov dodir lagano boli, Drago mi je što ostaviše, Barem nekakav trag, čudan osjećaj  nelagodan bolno peckanje na prstima. Prinosim prste usnama, Oni tu lijeno leže, Znaju  u grlu nešto je zapelo, Neka riječ, zaboravljena, izgubljena. Dah je topao, Topao a bez života, Topao kao ustajali zrak, i prsti se odmiču, Zaboravljeni kao proljetno popodne, Besposleno stoje…pipajući daljinu, Ali daljina je ljepljiva kao paučina I nestaje u trenu.
