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

Sometimes travelling is a state of mind. You can always play the tourist in the city you happen to live in....as I do often in Split and Mostar. The desire to explore, to see new things, to discover is not something that can be bought. One can always travel....travel in mind, travel in time, travel in your own home town....Never understimate the power of a long walk. It does wonders for one's body and it is just as good for the mind and the soul.  Ponekad je putovanje stanje svijesti. Uvijek možete glumiti turista u gradu u kojem živite, kao što ja to često činim u Splitu i u Mostaru. Želja za istraživanjem, za viđenjem novog, za okrivanjem je nešto što se ne može kupiti. Uvijek se može putovati, putovati umom, putovati u vremenu, putovati u vlastitom gradu....Nemojte nikad podcjenjivati dugu šetnju. Čini čuda za tijelo i jednako je dobra za um i dušu. long cardi/ dugi kardigan: no name (worn here) shirt/ košulja: no name (worn here) pants/ hlače: Uzor  (+ I painte...

I feel you everywhere around me and I keep sensing the exact words I need You must know, I tied myself to you But you've given me freedom I had searched for it  for a very long time River of dreams, spring of hope, whirl of desires, my life I found all of that on this shore my eyes are twinkling now, shining like stars towards distance I gaze, love is there Who are you? You that is kissing me so gently while the sky is dawning  Who are you? You whose breathing I'm listening to next to a dreamy sea.* lyrics from a song River of Dreams, written and performed by Neno Belan, check it out on Youtube here .  SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT  THE RED & BLACK BELLISSIMA SEMI-PLAID SKIRT THE BELLISSIMA SKIRT   In this  2021 post, you can see two ways to style this black and red skirt.  Both of the outfits you'll see if you follow the link,  feature this semi-plaid skirt from a lo...

It was just a walk. I wore the first thing that came to my mind. I didn't wear any make up. The weather was gloomy, cloudy and rainy. We didn't plan to take any photographs. However, now I'm happy we did. Perhaps these are one of my favourite photographs ever. When the sun started setting, I was reminded of how magical Mostar can be in Autumn....with its gold trees and many rivers, with its unbelievably warm days and cold evening, with its ducks playing in Neretva....while I was watching them from this new bridge (still under construction) and as the sun made its appearance only a few moments before it set under the hills, I realized why I love Autumn so much. It is a season of change, but that change is as beautiful as it can possibly be. Now, I only need to remember what I like about Winter....and build myself a bridge towards that new season. What do you like about Winter? Are you ready for it? Bila je to samo šetnja. Obukla sam prvo što mi je došlo pod ruku i nisam...
