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

No rosemary was hurt in the making of this post. The rosemary that you will see on the photographs has been replanted in my garden and it hasn't perished...so far. I finally managed to upload the rest of photographs from ethno village Herceg . I hope you enjoy them! Nikakav ružmarin nije ozlijeđen za vrijeme snimanja ove objave. Ružmarin koji vidite na fotografijama je presađen u moj vrt i nije usahnuo, barem zasada. Konačno sam uspjela učitati ostatak fotografija iz etno selga Herceg. Nadam se da će vam se svidjeti! butterfly pin is available for sale and can be ordered via my mail/ letir ukras za kosu je na prodaju i može se naručiti preko moje epošte  

I was planning to post more photographs of yesterday's outfit, but I'm having problems with my connection so instead of that here is a neutral outfit I wore some time ago. As you may know, usually my outfits are quite colourful. However, occasionally I prefer the elegance of neutral colours. The white scarf was enough for this outfit not to feel 'overly dark' to me. In addition, this outfit seems to go well enough with this poem by Vesna Parun, that I translated for you. The poem is as you will notice quite serious and perhaps even a bit depressive, but I see it more as a fair warning of what happens when we bury our pains instead of fighting  and surviving them. Planirala sam objaviti još fotografija jučerašnje odjevne kombinacije, ali imam problema s vezom pa umjesto toga evo jedne neutralne kombinacije koju sam nosila prije nešto vremena. Kao što znate, obično je moj izbor nešto šarenije. Ipak, povremeno mi se sviđa elegancija neutralnih boja. Bijeli šal j...

Međugorje  I've blogged about Međugorje many times. I will include some links below in case you want to have a look.  STYLING A LEATHER JACKET FOR A VISIT TO MEĐUGORJE (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA) 2020  DECEMBER 2020 -  https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2020/12/how-to-style-pleated-skirt-in-winter.html MEĐUGORJE- A GREEN OASIS OF PEACE AND QUIET - Being sustainable with travel is another great idea if you are looking to make a difference. You can do it by being a local tourist and exploring the areas you would otherwise visit for various.   The location where these photographs were taken is Međugorje (Medjugorje), a small touristic village in Herzegovina. Most of tourists that come to this village do so for religious reasons as Medjugorje is one of the most visited  Christian pilgrimage sites, but you can also come to enjoy the nature. If you're interested to see and learn more about Međugorje, you can also visit my old post shot at this location a...

 on the left my mother,  on the right the designer of the dress Gordana Radić my prom dress 2004 some of my jewelry creations of the time  2004 one of those official prom photos   You wanted to see my prom photographs, so here they are...these are the only ones I have managed to find. Two of them were taken while the dress was still in the process of being made. The jewelry to match the dress I made myself.  Htjeli ste vidjeti moje fotografije s mature, pa ih evo...ovo su jedine koje sam uspjela pronaći. Dvije su uslikane dok je haljina još bila u fazi izrade. Nakit koji je išao uz haljinu sam sama napravila.

I remember my prom quite well, despite the fact that it was a decade ago (literally a decade). The way prom was organized in my school and in most of the high schools here is that we would chose one of our classmates to be our 'date.' Boys being more numerous than girls in my high school, they would usually end up with two dates. Well, I always thought it was silly that people must have a date to go to a prom. That's why I'm happy that where I'm from we don't really do that 'date' thing. A date is just a friend you walk into the ballroom with and once the prom is over at about 2 or 3 am, we all go clubbing together. All in all,  my prom night was a quite pleasant evening and I remember it fondly. Being very pleased with the dress I wore certainly made the night more enjoyable. My dress was long and I felt very glamours in it. I think that the question that most girls ask themselves is what length should their prom dress be. What colour is also a fre...

How does it feels to wear your own painting? Pretty good, I must say. The design on this skirt I have created with red textile paints. I'm aware that this outfit is a bit out there, featuring not only my art but all kinds of prints and colours....but hey, you only live once. The location for these photographs is hotel Mogrjelo .  Whenever we are in Čapljina, we usually stop there to have a coffee. Why? Is it necessary to ask?  Kakav je osjećaj nositi vlastitu sliku? Poprilično dobar, moram priznati. Uzorak na suknji sam stvorila s tekstilnim bojama. Znam da je kombinacija dosta šarena,  (možda i prešarena), ali jednom se živi. Slike su uslikane ispred hotela Mogrjelo , kada smo u Čapljini tu obično svratimo na kavu. Zašto? Je li potrebno pitati?
