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

Indoors: 1. no flash 2.with flash 3. no flash 4. with flash outdoors I've had good experience with Boujurs 10 jours nailpolishes so when I saw this one was 50% off in CM, I bought it. This nail polish does stay on longer than your average one, though 10 days might be pushing it a little. It is possible to fix it by adding another layer (as the ads promise) but do that more than once and there is no way it will look nice, is it? The shade is lovely and I have been wearing it quote often. I'm keeping my nails shorter than usual because they're not in the best shape and well I prefer them to be short than messy. These photos were taken with one coat (and one coat is really enough). I've read some reviews that complain that this nail-polish dries out in a bottle after a few months and I really have nothing to say about that, I usually use up the nail-polishes I buy quickly (not only my nails and other things like DIY stuff) so I cannot be the judge of that. My na...

Sjećate se kada sam pisala o Martini ? Danas kratki post samo da vas obavijestim da imate priliku osvojiti njene kreacije (torba i naušnice) na njenoj fb stranici .  Do you remember my post about Martina ? Well, today I'm posting  just to inform you that there is a giveaway on Martina's fb page and you have a chance to win a bag and a pair of earrings from her spring collection. http://martina-visnjic-art.blogspot.com/

I've been working on making and designing necklaces...As you know (if you have been following regularly), I have been experimenting over sized necklaces made from faux leather. I've been trying to work out  how I want to make them and all that. Here are a few sketches and ideas and hopefully soon you'll be able to see a final product.  Perhaps making my designs really bubble and positive, sort of cartoonish 'sugar, spice and everything nice' type of stuff  is the result of  currently having a hard time in life and consequently trying to cheer myself up subconsciously. Radila sam na pravljenu i osmišljavanju ogrlica. Kao što znate ako redovito pratite, malo sam eksperimentirala sa  velikim ogrlicama od eko kože. Pokušavala sam smisliti kako ih želim praviti i tako to. Evo par skica i ideja i nadam se da ću uskoro moći pokazati vam neke radove. Možda su mi u glavi vesele stvari u stilu crtića jer mi u zadnje vrijeme u životu ne cvjetaju ruže. Možda je to pods...

my sketch of Split's cathedral/ moja skica splitske katedrale Today there is a huge celebration taking place in Split as it is the day of our patron saint ( If you ever get the chance to be there, don't miss it.) Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend, being in Mostar at the moment. I do however have some photographs taken in Split  (May last year). I adore the feeling of being surrounded by the sea, there is nothing quite like it. Žnjan is near to the place where I used to live, but that is not the only reason why I like it. The outfit is casual ( shirt and skirt both vintage, bracelet is from Avon, the silver earrings a gift,  the sneakers are from Azel.) That's it, I won't bore you with anything else today:) Danas je u Splitu velika  fešta jer je dan našeg sveca zaštitnika, ali ove godine nisam tu, nego u Mostaru pa ništa od feštanja, tombule i ostalog. No, evo prošlogodišnjih svibanjskih fotografije iz Splita. Obožavam onaj osjećaj okruženosti morem, n...

Do my wings look too big? Jesu li mi krila prevelika? This little sketch came to be when an idea came to my mind....It was when I thought how ridiculous it would seem if you had an angel second guessing her/his/its (pick the pronoun you prefer) most prominent feature- the wings. However, isn't that what most people do on daily basis? Question and second guess the way they look? Complain about the way their body looks like?  What fascinates me in today's world is that somehow everyone is made to feel bad about the way they look. No matter your body type or size, there is constant presumption that you have to change something in order to look good and be attractive. However, this ideal body seems elusive at best. How can we define it? If one is skinny one is constantly suspected of suffering from some kind of eating disorder. You are always reminded what a bad example you are for others and made to feel guilty....and if you're not skinny than you must be doing ...
