JELSA STARIGRAD sunnies. DM, dress: moda in(croatian brand), shoes: peko, bag: no name, necklace: DIY Two amazing cities. Jelsa  and Starigrad. One magical island. Hvar. One special day. One day of pure bliss.  Dva nevjerojatna grada. Jelsa i Starigrad. Jedan magični otok. Hvar....i jedan poseban dan, dan prepun sreće. Due città meravigliose. Jelsa e Starigrad. Una isola magica. Hvar. Un giorno speciale.... Forse il più felice giorno di questo anno.

oil paints/ uljane boje Because you left such kind comments about my last canvas, I'm sharing another one with you. I certainly haven't been idle this summer, I've been painting and drawing so much that my fingers and hands are literally sore. Well, some things are worth the pain...and as they say no pain, no gain. Zbog svih lijepih komentara o mom zadnjem platnu, podijeliti  još  ću jedno ulje na platnu sa vama. Ovoga ljeta sam si dala truda, crtala sam i slikala toliko da su me doslovno bole prsti i ruke. No za neke se stvari isplati svašta pretrpjeti.

Makarska 20/7/2014 20/7/2014 tee: no name, bracelets: DIY (the one on my biceps) and Avon (the one on my wrist), skirt: vintage, sneakers: Azel / Location: parking in front of one supermarket in Makarska, Croatia Date: 20.7. 2014 Za putovanje na Hvar (zbog malog odmora u trajanju od četiri dana), obukla  sam jednu ležernu i udobnu kombinaciju koja je u isto vrijeme i ženstvena:  suknja duljine ispod koljena takozvana midi, roza majica, uz to i DM naočale za sunce i narukvica koju sam nedavno izradila. Što vam se čini?   I had worn an outfit that is both comfortable and casual yet at the same time feminine for my trip to Hvar (where I was on a four day vacation last month). What do you think about my choice ( a midi skirt paired with a  pink tee and accessorized with DM sunglasses and a DIY bracelet)? Per il mio viaggio a Hvar (dove sono andata a una mini vacanza di quattro giorni)  ho optato pe...

The photos were taken upon completing this oil painting (sometime last month) and as my smile seems to indicate, I'm quite happy with the result. *Join in share-in-style ! Fotografije su uslikane nakon što sam dovršila ovo ulje na platnu (nekad prošlog mjeseca) i kao što moj osmijeh govori, poprilično sam zadovoljna rezultatom. * pridružite se druženju !

Today is the international day against human trafficking and there are a few things I want to say about that. I don't have the time to take my pic with the heart sign or anything like that as I'm right now in the process of packing. Anyhow, I think that what I'm about to say is as a good way of paying tribute to this day as any other. You see, this is subject I have often thought about and I still often think about. The issue of slavery and its occurrence trough history has been something of a obsession of mine. I've literally spend years of my life thinking about colonialism and slavery and basically about the way it has influenced the world we live in. I won't get into colonialism or post colonialism right now, but let's say that this is a matter I have given great though. However, as it usually happens with me, not only did it take some time for the things to fall into place and rearrange themselves in this mind of mine but I need a piece of literature to...

Unedited photos. Summer. Genuine smile on my face. Split. One day and numerous errands but still enough time for happiness.  Nedorađene fotografije. Ljeto. Iskreni osmijeh na mome licu. Split. Jedan dan i puno obaveza, ali ipak dovoljno vremena za sreću.
