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

DJEVOJČICI MJESTO IGRAČKE Ljerko, srce moje, ti si lutka mala, Pa ne slutiš smisla žalosnih soneta, Kesteni pred kućom duhu tvom su meta, Još je deset karnevala do tvog bala. Ti se čudiš, dušo. Smijat si se stala Ovoj ludoj priči. Tvoja duša sveta Još ne sniva kako zbore zrela ljeta. Gledaš me ko grle. Misliš—to je šala. Al će doći veče kad ćeš, ko Elvira, Don Huana sita i lažnih kavalira, Sjetiti se sjetno nježne ove strofe. Moje će ti ime šapnut moja muza, A u modrom oku jecati će suza Ko za mrtvim clownom iza katastrofe.                                                                               A.G. Matoš TO A LITTLE GIRL INSTEAD OF A TOY My darling Ljerka, you're a little doll,  grasping not the meaning of sorrowful sonnets, your spirit focuses on the chestnut tree in f...

Making the most out of your closet is always a good idea, wouldn't you agree? Even a simple summer dress can offer so many possibilities. Today I'm showing you how I styled this particular dress in two seasons: Winter and Spring. Now, this is a true summer dress but with a little bit of layering, it really can be worn in any season. Iskoristi što više moguće odjeću iz ormara je uvijek dobro, zar ne? Jedna ljetna haljinica, a može sadržavati toliko mogućnosti. Danas ću vam pokazati kako sam ovu haljinu nosila u proljeće (prošle godine) i zimu (ove godine). Iako je zapravo posve ljetna, uz malo slojevitog odijevanja može se nositi u svakoj sezoni. Spring (last April) Winter (this February) Proljeće (travanj prošle godine) Zima (veljača) How to tie a scarf as a turban? Kako zavezati šal kao turban?

 Thank you dear Shaira ( from www.missdream-girl.blogspot.com ) for nominating me for the versatile blogger award. I already did this once but what the heck once again won't hurt. Do check out her blog here ! Here are my seven facts: 1. I cried like a baby while reading The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. Sure there were other books that made me cry, but this one especially so....Every chapter tears were flowing down my cheeks and despite that (or maybe because of that) I really took time and effort to read every single sentence with attention it so rightfully deserves. 2. As far as I can remember, I was always drawing and sketching. This blog didn't change that but how would I ever got into making personalized fashion illustrations  without it? You fashion bloggers always inspire me...and  for that inspiration I'm quite grateful.  3. I'm totally a foodie . I love everything about food...Preparing it and eating it in equal measure. I...

 I  was always aware that Split is a  truly unique place, even when it wasn't as popular as it is today. I used to walk everywhere when I lived here! I'm a big believer in getting to know a city on foot. You can never know a town until you explore its every corner on foot.  I have more posts about Split scheduled and many more stories to tell. Some places we carry in our hearths, and our proximity to them is of little importance.
