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

Here is another DIY project. This little jacket should come in handy this spring...and with this tree that I have pained on, I like it even more. Evo još jedan uradi sam projekt....ova mi bi bijela jakna trebala dobro poslužiti ovog proljeća...a sa ovim drvetom koje sam nacrtala, sviđa mi se još više. another DIY print DIY

I do hope you had a lovely Women's Day ladies! Mine was quite relaxing, I had lunch with friends and went to the movies in the evening. 300:The Rise of The Empire was disappointing in many ways, but Eva Green was (as the protagonists himself said) 'impressive'. Her acting was suburb and those costumes she wore in the film were stunning....Kudos to who ever was the designer.  This morning I've spend cooking and cleaning and that too (believe it or not) was quite relaxing. Now, on the other hand, it's time to get back to business and obligations. However, before trying to get hold of things and organizing myself for the next week, here is my selection of outfits that impressed me the most in the last week. Stvarno se nadam da ste uživale u danu žena, drage moje! Moj je bio skroz opuštajući, ručala sam sa prijateljicama i išla u kino navečer. Nastavak 300 je bio poprilično razočaravajući, ali je zato Eva Green bila (kao što je protagonist primjetio u filmu) impresiv...

Spring is almost here, so here are 3 outfits featuring a gypsy skirt, a clothing item that is spring appropriate. With different accessories, you can get quite different looks.  Tell me, what is your favourite way of styling a gypsy skirt? Proljeće je skoro ovdje, pa evo tri odjevne kombinacije sa ciganskom suknjom, komadom odjeće koji je prikladan za proljeće. Sa različitim modnim dodatkom možete postići različite stilove. Recite mi, koji je vaš najdraži način nošenja ciganske suknje? a diy clutch/ torbica koju sam sama ušila leather bag/ kožna torba sandals with heels /sandale sa petom sneakers/ tenisice (patike) boots/ čizme top that my mum made, majica koju mi je mama ušila pink sweater/ rozi đemper a nude tank top/ majica na špaline boje kože

" Old loves they die hard, old lies they die harder, I wish I had an angel, for one moment of love" * Nightwish, I wish I had an angel I wish I had an angel.... DIY angel this is what I'm using to paint. I actually prefer the paint I was using before but I wasn't able to find it...this one has a nozzle that I'm still getting used to...I'm more used to a brush, but I'm managing... Turtlenecks (roll-necks)...I really like them and wear them all the time. This white turtleneck I will probably wear even more often because I like the way the angel I have painted on it turn out. Do you? Dolčevite...stvarno mi se sviđaju i često ih nosim. Ovu bijelu dolčevitu nositi ću još češće zato što mi se sviđa kako je ovaj anđeo koji sam naslikala ispao. Sviđa li se vama?

I have promised you more DIY posts, haven't I? Today DIY project involves a technique that I have already posted about a few times. Basically all you have to do is buy some paint (there are many kinds out there and they're not expensive ) that can be applied on the clothes, make sure you put something under( a book, a magazine, anything) the material you're working with so that the paint doesn't get everywhere and that is all there is to it . As you may know, I love painting and I love clothes so you can imagine how trilled I am to join the two together. A match made in heaven if you ask me!  If you want to see the results, scroll down. Obećala sam vam više postova posvećenih radovima (tj uradi sam projektima), nisam li? Današnji uradi sam projekt je nešto o čemu sam već pisala, slikanje po odjeći. Sve što vam treba je kupiti boju koja se može nanositi na odjeću (ima puno vrsta u ponudi i nisu skupe) i nešto (knjiga, časopis, bilo što) što ćete staviti ispod materija...

Many of my fashion illustrations were inspired by the month of love I have been working on a few paintings...maybe I'll post about them some day but not for now... The emphasis continues to be on fashion illustrations.... a wonderful novel  by Kureishi that questions the connection between our body and soul  Amy Tan is an author that I would highly recommend to all the daughters and mothers. In her works she is quite successful at portraying and examining that special connection that exists between a mother and a daughter. DIY vases made from old shampoo and detergent bottles As always I took more photographs then I had actually shared but it's hard to find place for everything If we're going to trust the Croatian proverb (ljubav ulazi kroz želudac)  that states that a way to someone's heart is trough their stomach ( the English version would be love enters trough the kitchen)  then I have deserved someone's heart for I h...
