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

Today I present you with one of my own creation. Can you spot what it is? and if you can how do you like it? This head crown (or head piece or whatever) is a versatile piece of jewelry and it can be worn as a necklace or a head piece. The outfit is chose to match it is fairly simple, pastel colours and denim, noting too loud as the jewelry is statement enough. The photos were taken last weekend. I'm still a bit under the weather, so you probably won't be much outfit posts this month. However, there will probably be lots of fashion illustration and I'm working on some other things. xoxo Danas vam predstavljam jednu od svojim kreacija. Kako vam se sviđa? Možete li pogoditi o čemu je riječ? Ova kruna (ili ukras za glavu, ili kakogod) je višenamjenski komad nakita, može se nositi i kao ogrlica. Odjevna kombinacija je poprilično jednostavna, pastelne boje i jeans, ništa prenapadno jer je nakit sam po sebi dovoljan. Fotografije su od prošlog vikenda. Ja sam još jako prehlađena, t...

red, green, black I think I'll never get bored of maxi skirts. Anytime, any season. Mislim da mi nikada neće dosaditi duge suknje. Bilo kada, bilo koje sezone. *I'll be absent for a few days. I'm really ill and naturally it also happens to be the time when I have million things to do that cannot possibly be delayed. That's just my luck. Biti ću odsutna neko vrijeme (par dana). Baš sam bolesna i naravno u isto vrijeme imam puno toga za obaviti što se ne može odgoditi. Takve sam sreće.

This wonderful place (Goranci, BIH) has been the  location of the first outfit post this year (that I will post some other time.) For today, just nature photography. Have a lovely sunday! Buona domenica tutti! Luogo incantevole, non è vero? (le foto del outfit un'altra volta) Per oggi solo la fotografia di natura. ( un parco in un villaggio vicino a Mostar) Ovo divno mjesto je lokacija prvog outfit posta ove godine (kojeg ću objaviti neki drugi put). Za danas, samo opuštanje i slike prirode. Po prvi put me zanima etimologija riječi nedjelja. (ne djelovati možda, podrijetla riječi u slavenskim jezicima su uvijek zanimljiva). Uživajte u slobodnom danu!

Here are some of the fashion illustrations that I have made yesterday.   No matter how much time I repeat that I'm more a summer person, the truth is that I adore winter clothes (and winter  fashion naturally). I love coats, long and short, oversize and tailored, black and colourful...(and don't get me started on puffers jackets, I've adored them since they fist appeared.)      Evo neke od jučerašnjih modnih ilustracija. Koliko god ponavljala da sam više ljetna osoba, ne mogu poreći da obožavam zimsku odjeću (i modu naravno). Obožavam kapute, duge i kratke, nekoliko brojeva veće i one uske, crne i šarene ( a da nekažem ništa o perjanicama, njih obožavam otkada su se pojavile)  . my fashion illustrations long vs. short coat/ heels vs. flats/ midi vs. flare jeans vision of a colourful winter blue vs. black coat/ skirt vs. flare/ over the knee boots vs. booties faux fur  Let's not forget... ...

I'm always amazed by the creativity of certain people. You will have a chance to read  about one of them as I'm posting an interview with a very talented young lady from  http://www.maryloucinnamon.com . The clothes she makes are so beautiful and unique and the speed with which she makes them is truly remarkable. (When it came to picking the photographs for this post, it wasn't easy because I really like all the clothes she creates.) http://www.maryloucinnamon.com/ Who taught you how to sew? How long have you been doing it?  My mum was the first person who introduced me in the wonderful world of dressmaking as she was a seamstress when she was younger, but I think the most it´s learning by doing and there are still many different techniques and things I still have to try or improve. I made many clothes by myself when I was a young teenager but stopped then and started again with it when I was 25, so I can´t exactly tell how long I have been sewing. http://www.ma...
