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

I'm back in Split and enjoying my beatiful home town. You can read some of my previous posts about Split  here  and  here . Today I'm showing you a simple summer outfit featuring a cherry print dress and wedges. You can see another way I styled this cherry print clothing item  here .   My laptop isn't working properly, so maybe it will take me a day or two to respond to your previous and present comments. I wish you a lovely day! Ponovo sam u Splitu i uživam u svom lijepom gradu. Možete pročitati neke od mojih prošlih objava o Splitu ovdje  i ovdje . Danas ću vam pokazati jednostavnu ljetnu kombinaciju koja se sastoji od haljine s uzorkom trešanja i sandala s punom petom. Možete vidjeti još način na koji sam nosila ovaj odjevni predmet s uzorkom trešnje ovdje .   Moj laptop ne radi baš najbolje, pa možda će mi trebati dan ili dva da odgovorim na vaše prijašnje i sadašnje komentare. Želim vam ugodan dan! outfit ( dress: d...

The street looks both foreign and familiar while I try to remember when it was that I last walked here. My legs feel tired and there is a voice in my head that screams for another cup of coffee. Wait for a moment, I might have thought and said to myself, if I had a habit of talking to myself like that which I don’t, so I obviously didn’t. If my thoughts verbalize themselves in this way, I usually don’t talk back to them because that would feel too much as a conversation. I just ignored the voice because I knew the coffee will have to wait until I get home. Not because I’m one of those people who are too shy to sit in a café and order an espresso by themselves but because at this moment I don’t feel like it. I walk past the open market, thinking about buying some cabbage for a second but I decide against it because the dish I have in mind takes about four hours to cook and I just don’t have the energy. Everything seems grey now that the sun is hiding in the clouds, but I don’t find the ...

Mostar. Twenty years later many buildings still bear scars of war. Some of them are decorated with graffiti. This building you can see behind me was painted during one street art festival. It used to be a bank, not that you can tell it now. While we were shooting, some tourists started following us around and they took photos at all the places we did. Not that I mind. The purpose of this blog should be to inspire somebody and that is the reason why I read other blogs, to get inspired. Still, it felt kind of funny being followed around. I felt like an unofficial tourist guide. Mostar. Dvadeset godina kasnije puno zgrada još nosi ožiljke rata. Neke od njih su ukrašene grafitima, ova koju vidite iza mene je ocrtana tijekom jednog uličnoga festivala. Nije vidljivo, ali to je nekada bila banka. Dok smo snimali,  neki turisti su nas počeli slijediti i slikali se na mjestima gdje smo i mi. Nije da mi smeta. Tome bi ovaj blog i trebao služiti, da nadahne nekog za nešto,...
