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

A few days ago a package from wholesalebuying arrived. This was my second collaboration with this site and so far so good. Check out their top sellers  here . This time I ordered this pair of heels. I've been eyeing them for a while now. I'm really happy I ordered them because they look even better than on the site. I'm only sorry that my foot is still swollen, so I wasn't able to take them for a proper walk. Instead of that, I just took some photographs indoors. These are photos from my instagram, as I don't have my cam or my photograph with me. Have a lovely day everyone! Prije par dana stigao mi je paket s wholesalebuying stranice . Ovo je moja druga suradnja s njima i zasada sam zadovoljna. Pogledajte njihove najprodavanije stvari  ovdje .   Ovaj put sam naručila ovaj par cipela. Gledam ih već neko vrijeme. Jako sam sretna što sam ih naručila jer izgledaju još bolje nego na stranici. Samo mi je žao što mi je stopalo još otečeno pa ih ne mogu nositi u pravu š...

Hello readers! In this post, I'll share some of my illustrations with you. I'll add some more art links, just in case you're interesting in following my art journey. I regularly update my old post to motivate other artists (and make you see one can get better with art, even as an adult).  I'm also going to translate two rock songs by Croatian rock band Parni valjak for you. I used one of the titles of their songs in my original portrait sketch (although I'm not even sure it was intentional), so I decided to add this little translation.  BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN LOVE is a song by Croatian rock band Parni valjak. I'm going to translate it for you! … Add some color A little red Red as love That never stops Then a little yellow For a sunny day And (now) for a clear sky You know the color yourself … Call me silly I sing naive songs But you can't stop me I'm laughing … Find some happy thoughts Like Peter Pan Flying is easy When you're carefree But add a littl...

A few weeks ago I read  Daughters of Fortune  by Tara Hyland (her site  here ). My opinions about this novel are divided. I can't say I disliked it, but I found it lacking. However, compared with similar novels, it is actually pretty good. The novel is badly written, but its story has definite potential. Moreover, it is very fast paced which is essentially what keeps it from being boring.  Descriptions of characters are terrible, they seem to be inserted by force, but characters themselves are potentially very intriguing, especially the leading ladies. What a shame that the stereotypes almost reduce them to caricatures at times.  Fortunately, only at times. The characters do develop with time in a way that is quite realistic. The protagonists of this novel are three sisters that are very different one from another and this is something Tara handled quite well.  What is more, as the novel develops, the character developments can be felt in the protagonists ...

Those of you who read my blog regularly know about my 'Inspired by' feature. It dates back to my early day of blogging. Being that it is December and all that, I decided to do a little recap of this year and I must say I'm suprised. I forgot how many illustrations of fashion bloggers I did! All in all, I  published 30 illustrations of fashion bloggers on my blog this year. I painted even more, but some I didn't manage to photograph and post here yet. You can find a few more on my instagram here , here and here . Vi koji redovito čitate moj blog znate za moju " Nadahnuta s..." rubriku koja datira još iz samih početaka moga bavljenja blogom. S obzirom da je prosinac i tako to, odlučila sam napraviti mali pregled ove godine i moram reći da sam iznenađenja. Zaboravila sam koliko sam ilustracija modnih blogerica napravila! Sve u svemu, objavila sam trideset ilustracija modnih blogerica na blogu ove godine. Naslikala sam ih čak i više, ali neke još nisam uspje...
