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

Today for a change, I'm actually posting a look that I have worn today. (This morning to be more precise). I went for a swim at this place you can see in the photographs (in the vicinity of Mostar). As far as the clothes goes,  everything (but the brand new flip flops) is inherited from mum, which means probably 80ties. Danas za promjenu, odjevna kombinacija koju sam nosila danas (točnije jutros) kada sam išla plivati na ovo mjesto koje vidite ( u blizini Mostara). Odjeća, osim japanki koje su nove, je naslijeđena od mame, što znači vjerovatno osamdesete.  Sustainable fashion files- How I wore these items before?

Who would have known that a dog can influence your style? Since I had my little she-wolf (as I like to call her) I have started wearing sneakers more often. This is a breed that can help you stay physically active. When I take her for a walk there is always a lot of running and jumping involved. She is growing so fast and already she is very muscular. When there are people around, I always keep her on a leash not because there is any risk of her biting anyone but because I don't want to frighten anyone. She is just a puppy, 3 months old, a baby really, but because of her size she is already making people nervous. Tko bi rekao da pas može utjecati na vaš stil. Otkada imam svoju vučicu, češće nosim tenisice. Ovo je vrsta koja vam može pomoći da ostanete u formi. Kad god je šetam, tu uvijek ima puno trčanja i skakanja. Ona raste tako brzo, a već je tako jako i mišićava. Kad su u blizini ljudi, uvijek je vodim na lancu, jer ne želim nikoga preplašiti (ne mislim da postojis s...

Do you know that I make jewelry? I haven't written much about it on the blog but perhaps in the future I will. I might do some DIY posts (as well as write about different techniques) if you're interested. Anyhow, today I'm presenting you with a little sample of my work: two of mine necklaces that are inspired by the colour blue. The first one has hand painted flowers made from fimo and that one can be worn during winter months as well, white the second one is distinctly for summer, the focus of it being natural materials (stones and shells I have collected on the beach). Both of them are very light on the neck and easy to combine with different clothes. I'm not sure  they can be called statement peaces, as they are of medium size, but they are definitely unique. Until now, I have never repeated myself, every necklace I have made is unlike any other I have made. Naturally, in the future I might do it, for example I might design a particular necklace that I like ...

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 ...
