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

What to say about June? It was an interesting month...and as far as the blog goes, I've tried some new things, done some DIY projects,  and shared with you some old  and some new photographs. Što reći o srpnju? Bio je zanimljiv mjesec. Što se tiče bloga, probala sam neke nove stvari i podijelila sa vama neke stare i nove fotografije.

Yesterday I wore a really simple outfit ( stripes, pencil skirt and wedges in espadrille style- it doesn't get much more simple than that). We arrived in Međugorje ( Bosnia and Herzegovina) as the sun was setting down. It was a beautiful sunset with sky as red as Sicilian oranges. The atmosphere was very serene, with people from all parts of the world praying together in a variety of languages. Yesterday  was the first day of the International Annual Youth Meeting in Međugorje. I've decided to share a few photographs of Međugorje with you. Jučerašnje ruho bilo je jako jednostavno (majica na pruge, suknja ravnog kroja i cipele sa punom petom u stilu špagerica- ne može jednostavnije.). Stigli smo u Međugorje (BIH) baš kako je dan primicao kraju i uživali u divnom zalasku sunca, sa nebom crvenim kao sicilijanske naranče. Umirujući ugođaj, dok su ljudi iz svih krajeva svijeta molili zajedno na raznim jezicima. Jučer je bio prvi dan Međunarodnog godišnjeg susreta...

I just loved Ulyana Sergeenko's collection for autumn/winter 2013/2014. The women is a genious.  I would go so far as to say that no one is really quite her. In what sense? Well, in the sense that she manages to incorporate so many various elements into her style and still have a signature finished look to her collections. Obviously, she is deeply rooted in the Russian tradition and I really like how she can take something from folklore and make it fresh and just drop dead gorgeous. At the same time, she admits to beings inspired by the retro and vintage looks and says she buys most of her vintage clothes (30,40, 50, 60ties) in the States. I mean, US vintage style + Russian folklore?! How is that ever going to work? But it does. It really does and if for nothing else that is enough to make her endlessly fascinating. It is a brave thing to do something like that. Most people would probably have said it is impossible. I guess she proved them wrong. Lady with a very ...

"Daisy and Jordan lay upon an enormous couch, like silver idols weighing down their own white dresses against the singing breeze of the fans." - F. Scott Fitzgerald,  The Great Gatsby "It excited him, too, that many men had already loved Daisy--it increased her value in his eyes." - F. Scott Fitzgerald,  The Great Gatsby , Ch. 8 I have to admit that the first thing that came to my mind as I watched this collection was The Great Gatsby. The novel, that is, as I haven't seen the movie version yet (but supposedly it is a feast for the eyes.) Not that the clothes are modeled on  the 20ties (from what I can see). The cuts are different and designs, but somehow this show does remind me of the Jazz Age. There is something unmistakably glamour about it.

Sono stato in cura per degli anni da un analista sordomuto che mi aiutava con dei cenni e molta buona volontà  a riprendrmi dai traumi che avevo avuto in un'altra vita. Gucci Autunno Inverno 2013-2014  Sono stato in cura per degli anni da un analista logorroico che mi privava dei commenti quando mi raccontava  la sua storia nei dettagli da paranoico senza prospettiva . C'è troppa pioggia e sto perdendo quota attraversando vuoti d'aria tra le nuvole. Se piango in acqua non si nota e in mezzo agli altri si consiglia di sorridere. A volte io ho paura di voi più che della solitudine . Sono stato solo per degli anni guadrdavo il mondo dagli specchi che ripetevano i miei sbagli tutte le mie fragilità poi di colpo qui d'avanti con i tuoi occhi  ho una via d'uscita.   c'è poca pioggia e sto aspettando un fuoco una scintilla che mi accenda nella cenere un'alba in questo buio cieco sulla tua pelle ritornare ancora a scrivere. A volte io ho ancora paura di chi...

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!
