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

POST UPATE:  I no longer have an Instagram profile, and I will remove the links that are no longer necessary. I used to publish my fashion sketches and illustrations on Instagram, so here are a few more.  Why I don't have an Instagram account? I have a problem with Facebook, their violation of user rights and their constant disregard to privacy. I just have a problem with social media in general. I know having a blog is a bit like having social media, but it's not exactly the same.   Post update: I don't have Instagram (or most social media anymore), so if you want to get in touch, you can do it by email or by commenting on the blog. Why I quit Instagram? Pick any Instagram controversy (information theft, data privacy theft, safety concerns, negative impact on health of children and young, failure to protect children and young). These are all reason valid on their own. Joined together, quitting Instagram is really a must!  Recently I have opened an Instagram pr...

If I look ridiculously happy on these photographs, it is because I felt that way. Island Hvar can do that to you. I praised this part of the island where my village Gdinj is situated, but in the interest of honesty, I should admit to you that the road on this part of the island is not that great. You can see how narrow if you scroll down. It is not that you have to worry about damaging your car or anything like that, the road is not that bad, but you probably won't enjoy the ride that much. In the interest of full disclosure, I had to mention this. However, I think these enchanting bays are worth a bit of trouble. The tourists seem to agree and they don't seem to mind much the poor condition of the road. Scroll down and see for yourself. This year you already had the chance to see bay Torac in several posts this April( one of those posts  here ) and a few days ago ( here ). Ako izgledam smiješno sretno na ovim fotografijama, to je zato što sam se tako osjećala. Otok Hvar i...

Yesterday I wore this polka dress  in a casual way, promising to show you how to dress it up today. We must keep our promises, right? Well, the easiest way to dress up just about anything is by choosing a nice pair of high heels. This time I opted for orange sandals with very high heels that matched the colour of the sunset (not that I was planning it).  In case anyone is interested, the location were the photographs were taken is Zenta in Split city, Croatia.  I loved hanging out here when I was a little girl, dreaming that some day one of these boats would be mine.  Speaking about the longing for the sea, I have a reading recommendations for you. I'm finished The Sea Lady by Margaret Drabble and it is absolutely brilliant. If you are interested, I might share a review. Jučer sam nosila ovu haljinicu na točkice  u ležeroj kombinaciji, a obećala sam vam danas pokazati sređeniju verziju danas. Svojih obećanja se moramo držati, zar ne? Najlakši način za ...
