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

I won't even tell you where this place is....because frankly I want to keep it a secret. Unfortunately, I haven't been there myself but once and that was a few years ago. It is located somewhere in Croatia, I'll admit to that. The bay itself is kind of hard to reach, but perhaps it is best that this little place remains a relative secret. Hope you have a great Sunday! U ovoj raju zemljskom nažalost bijah samo jednom....a i to prije par godina. Jedna od onih teško dostupnih uvala, osim ako ne znate točno gdje skrenuti i nije vam problem sjeći krivinu dok dolaze auti iz drugog smjera, a skretanje nije nikako označeno...Nema veze, neko mjesto treba  i ostati tajnom ili barem relativno nepoznato. Uživajte u nedjelji. Pozdrav!

The  title of today's post obviously refers to the last photograph, where I'm struggling against gravity and well...jumping! No, my dire wolf isn't trying to eat me...we'just fooling around. Most of my outfit photographs are ,as you might have noticed, made when I'm walking the dog,  simply because it is a convenient time to take photos and because the photographer likes to document the growth of our not so little puppy...and  we do both at the same time... Consequently, what  you get is  sporty outfits, but hey, sporty can be fun as well. Nowadays, for me sporty means anything that I wear with sneakers. I always loved mixing styles...wearing sneakers with feminine dresses and heels with boyish outfits. There is always charm in the unexpected. Današnji naslov se očito odnosi na zadnju fotografiju gdje skakutam skupa sa svojom vučjom koja raste tako brzo da je u šali zovem strahovukom. U zadnje vrijeme sve su mi odjevne kombinacije sportske, to jest...

This collection by Marni really captures my attention. I've picked a few favourites, but really all of the pieces are just amazing. I just love the choice of colours, that bold orange in particular, somehow it feels both elegant and fresh. The siluette of the clothes is beautiful...even that all black outfit simply stands out. It is that kimono inspired belt that makes a stand, I think, it is such a perfect accessory to these wonderful cuts. The appeal of this collection is pretty obvious. It is clean but interesting, classic but  with a new twist. Black and white is always classic! * photos of collection used in the collage belonging to Marni and Vogue The fashion illustrations in this post are mine and they belong to me. A bit of colour is always nice as well. Orange is a happy colour!

Ja i muž ovaj vikend malo smo pobjegli od gradske vrućine u Gorance, malo selo pored Mostara, ali mislim da je naša mala vučka sa tim najviše bila oduševljena . Me and my husband went to this little village Goranci near Mostar last weekend. It was a nice chance to escape the city heat, but I think our german shepard puppy was the one that had the best time.

Frida Kahlo . I was mesmerized by her paintings from the first moment I've seen them as a child. "I paint flowers so they will not die." ...... "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." "I don’t really know if my paintings are surreal or not, but I do know that they represent the frankest expression of myself." "Painting has made my life full. Painting has replaced everything. I don’t think there’s anything better than work." “Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.” “Everything can have beauty, even the worst horror.” " I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope ...

Who doesn't like polka dots? I've decided to go for white nails, but somehow they looked boring so I added some red dots...and I didn't stop at that, so now my nails look  a bit like candy, gotta love that... I hardly ever write about cosmetics, so let's get to that...I've tried applying false lashes, but I think I might need some help. Any tips? The fist ones I got from Maybeline and they were fine but in the end I've cut them in two because that way it looks more natural and it easier to put them on...these ones (you can see them in the pics) I have  problems with (forgot the brand, I'm hopeless I know) so I think I might do the same. They are just too short for my eyes. Anyhow, I let you know what happens with my false eyelashes dilemma...if anything happens at all. I sometimes go days without applying any make up what so ever...but still I do love to read about beauty products, so I might do some post about that myself. What do you think?...
