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

If you spent each day on a different Croatian island, it would take you three years to visit them all, as there are more than a 1, 200 islands in Croatia. I visted only one Croatian island this Summer and I'm currently trying to work out in my head how many of them I have visited in my lifetime. Alas, only a handful of them. So many Croatian islands to visit, so little time!   Standing on my grandmother's terrace, I realize the root of my fascination with rocks. Not the precious or expenssive kind but rocks dig from earth so full of them that farming was almost impossible, rocks that build houses and fences, rocks that are testiment to a remarbakle strenght of people who populated and surrowed on islands lacking natural water resources or fertile land, defying thirst,  hunger, pirates and numerous enemy invasions.  I feel at home in both Split and Mostar but when I get off  the ferry and step onto island Hvar, I step into a magical world. It took me a while ...

Is it possible that it the last day of Summer today? It doesn't feel like it is, not just because I have a feeling that the high temperatures and the blazing sun have gotten mixed up with every single molecule I'm composed of, but because nothing will change dramatically tomorrow. That I won't be walking into a classroom tomorrow feels quite odd. I still remember that 'back to school' excitement. Great part of that feeling was also about being able to remiscent about Summer and to some level even brag about it to our fellow students.  When you're young, every Summer seems unforgettable and unique.

Try something new every day, that is the best way to keep that feeling of freedom in your heart. Take this necklace I made for example. I went for simplicity and se...

This is the first and the last time I wore this faux leather necklace. I wore it this once because I wanted to show it to you but I actually made it for a friend of mine, knowing that she likes the red and black colour sheme. On the other hand, this is not the first time I visited nature resort Hutovo blato. Neither it is the first time I'm blogging about it. Morover, I have been here a number of a times and reported just how much I loved it. You can read my previous posts about nature resort Hutovo blato here ,   here , here and here . If you visit Bosnia and Herzegovina, this is a spot to keep in mind. Ovo je prvi i zadnji put što sam nosila ovu ogrlicu od eko kože, a stavila sam je samo da vam je pokažem jer sam je zapravo napravila za prijateljicu za koju znam da voli crveno crnu kombinaciju boja. No, ovo nije prvi put da sam posjetila park prirode Hutovo blato, a ni da sam pisala o njemu na blogu. Nekoliko puta sam bila tamo i pisala koliko mi se svidjelo, pa ako vas za...
