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

What inspired me to make this necklace? What inspired me to make this necklace was a post by  +The Dainty Dolls House  in which she wrote about a young women named Lauren who has died aged 25 because of heart problems. When the doctors told Lauren that her condition was very serious, she started this amazing 100 heartbeats project....    Što me nadahnulo za ovu ogrlicu? Post blogerice Dandy Doll House u kojem je pisala o hrabroj mladoj ženi koja je umrla u 25 godini života zbog srčanih problema. Prije smrti Lauren je pokrenula projekt 100 otkucaja srca, ljepila je medaljone u obliku srca na svoja omiljena mjesta, stvarajući dirljiv vizualni dnevnik. Umrla je 97 dana svoga projekta, a njen muž ga je dovršio. Ja sam ovu ogrlicu napravila kao način sudjelovanja u dizanju svijesti o srčanim bolestima, a ako vas zanima više o njoj na kraju posta možete pronaći adrese njena dva bloga kao i adresu bloga na kojem je pokrenut projekt njoj u čast. Možete s...

Now, here is a clothing item that has certainly payed off. I have worn this jacket so many times that it really deserves a post of its own. I like how the cut is that of a bit biker jacket but the material is almost fancy so it goes pretty much with everything. I even wear it in the winter  (under a coat or under another jacket). Evo komada odjeće koji se isplatio. Nosila sam ovu jaknicu tako često da je zaslužila svoj vlastiti post. Sviđa mi se što kroj nalikuje motorki, a materijal je finiji (skoro pa finčukast) tako da ide pa uz skoro sve. Čak je nosim zimi (ispod kaputa ili druge jakne).

I have no intention of pretending to be an art critic but I do visit exhibitions when I have a chance. After visiting this exhibition I decided to google this painter and read a little bit about him. One of the art critic said that this exhibition (and the paintings you have the opportunity to see) is of confessional character and doesn't try to communicate with the viewer, whatever that meant. I'm not sure I have understood what this art critic was trying to say. However, what I really liked is what the painter has said himself and I quote him :  " If the painting doesn't have the research element in itself, it is in danger of stagnating. The creative force must come in the open, and in some kind of desire, but also in the explosion of colours and characters, a new exhibition has been born..."   Well, that was nicely said, wouldn't you agree? As for my personal impressions, I liked these paintings so much that I had to take photos of them. Sometimes carryin...

Finally one outfit of the day post. It had been sunny and cold day today, so cold in fact that it is hard to remember that technically speaking it is still autumn and winter officially starts in two weeks. Autumn or winter, I favour pretty much the same things as the last year...Long coats I have always loved and that is probably what I most look forward about winter. I really like how flare jeans and long coats look together (almost as much as I like how flare jeans and pointy shoes look together). Leather and fur plus beanies are just my way of keeping warm, I would probably wear all of these even if they were not the it items. Red and black had been my colour choice for the day. Something about this outfit reminded me bit of the 70ties but I'm not quite sure what it is...Finally, what is most important to me---I really was warm enough to enjoy this beautiful autumn day. Danas sam nosila ono što inače volim nositi kada malo zazimi, a to su dugi kaputi i zvo...

  Can't tell you how much I have enjoyed this walk by the river (cold as it was). The fact that you can see landscape like this in urban setting (i.e. Mostar city), always fascinated me. On other note, I ended up pretty disappointed once I had transferred the photographs from my cam to laptop. The colours were not what I have hoped they would be nor have I managed to capture the magic of the winter sunset. Obviously I still have a lot to learn about photography. Only the photographs of the river (i.e. Neretva) were what I wanted them to be, but I'm sharing only a few, because really I have taken so much of them on this little walk. Ne mogu vam reći koliko sam uživala u ovoj šetnji uz Neretvu, koliko god da je bilo hladno. Uvijek me zadivljuje ovaj pogled na divnu prirodu praktički u gradu. Sa druge strane, bila sam razočarana kada sam prebacila fotografije sa fotoaparata na laptop. Boje nisu ispale onakvima kakvima sam se nadala da bi mogle ispasti i ...
