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

 My outfit of the day features a wonderful retro dress I got from CNdirect site .  When they offered to send me something, besides this lovely item I also ordered something for my photographer and that is this set of binoculars and this monocular telescope . I can't say that I'm an expert as far as binoculars go (all I can say is that I was able to see clearly while using them) but my photographer says their quality is in accordance with their price, that is not very high.  All items arrived timely and in good condition. I'm very satisfied with the quality of this dress, I only regret not ordering XL instead of L, but that's my fault, I always forget that I'm tall. Today I have opted for a sporty outfit but tomorrow I will show you a more dressed up version. Danas vam pokazujem divnu haljinu  u retro stilu koju sam dobila od CNdirect stranice. Kada su mi ponudili poslati nešto, osim nje naručila sam i nešto za svog fotografa, a to je ovaj dvogled i ovaj ...

How to style low heeled ankle boots in a feminine way? Low heeled ankle boots are not seen as a very feminine type of shoes but it all depends on how you wear them. In this outfit, I styled them with a pencil skirt and an off shoulder top (worn previously here and here). I added pleanty of jewellery (bracelets, DIY necklace and a pair of hold earrings). This bag with leopard print is courtesy of Dresslink. Kako nositi gležnjače s niskom petom na ženstveni način? Gležnjače s niskom petom se ne smatraju baš ženstvenim komadom obuće, ali sve zapravo ovisi o tome kako ih nosite. U ovoj kombinaciji, nosila sam ih suknjom olovka kroja i majicom golih ramena. Dodala sam dosta nakita (narukvice, ogrlica koju sam sama napravila i par zlatnih naušnica). Torba s leopard uzorkom je stigla iz Dresslinka.

Welcome to heaven on earth. These images were taken in bays Torac and Tvrdni dolac. I spoke to you about my little village Gdinj. Well, like most villages situated on this part of the island Hvar, it is located on the middle of the island. About thirty bays on each side of the island belong to Gdinj, that is they form a vital part of it. This kind of arragements is nothing out of the ordinary. It was quite common in the old days to have two houses, one by the sea and one in the village. It was actually a necessity because people had so much land to farm that they had no time to go back to the village to spend the night. In addition, everyone was a fisherman in those days, so that is another reason why they had to have a house by the sea. Consequently, the majority of houses in Gdinj's bays are at least a hundred years old. Today most of these houses are available for rent ( to tourists) during the Summer. Fortunately, there are only a handful of houses in each of Gdinj's bay...
