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

Merry Christmas if you are celebrating it! Wearing a summer beach dress for a Christmas day? If you live in a warm climate, why not? I've perfected wearing Summer clothes in Winter. Long live the layering. As you may notice, I'm still earth bound (no sky heels for now), that is unable to wear anything but sneakers....and startas sneakers are the best choice because they're light. So, that is another reason why I'm grateful for this warm weather you can see on these photographs. Actually, I'm celebrating Christmas in Mostar (where it is also warm and sunny),  not Split but for now I'm leaving you with images of sunny Split. Tomorrow if all goes well, you'll see how I celebrated Christmas. Na dobro vam došao Badnji dan i Sretan Božić ako ga slavite! Nošenje ljetne haljine za plažu na Božić? Zašto ne, pogotovo ako živite gdje je klima topla? Usavršila sam nošenje ljetne odjeće zimi. Živjelo slojevito odijevanje.  Kao što možete primijetiti, još sam vezana ...

What can one say about masterpiece that hasn't been said before? That is the question I asked myself when I wanted to write this review but than I realized that there is always more to say, there is always something we can add. That is in fact one of the qualities that make a masterpiece what it is. Every time we read it, we can read something new from it. There is always a message within a message, a meaning within a meaning. In every masterpiece we will find a quality that is timeless and that makes it ever relevant. Furthermore, reading a book is often a personal experience, so that is another angle we can take when we are wondering what to say about a particular book that hasn't been said before. Što se može reći o remek djelu da već nije bilo rečeno? To sam se pitala kada sam željela napisati ovaj ogled, ali onda sam shvatila da se uvijek može reći više, da uvijek postoji nešto što se može dodati. To je zapravo jedna od kvaliteta remek djela. Svaki put kada ga pr...

 

I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me.                        Ralph Ellison ,  Invisible Man What inspires you? I may have mentioned that I'm a book lover. I have so many books in my home that I stopped buying them and these days I mostly rely on libraries. I love reading...Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to have a real book in my hands. So, perhaps it is no suprise that I get inspired by books. My outfit today was inspired by a cover of Ralph Ellison's novel. To tell you the truth, I'm struggling to find the words to describe what does this novel mean to me. I took my time with reading this one and I really...

I'm a bit late with replying to comments because I caught a bad cold.  So, I will keep this post short. This outfit is very cozy and comfy.  I'm really happy with this statement necklace I made. I still can't walk properly. If you look at the photographs closely, you will see that I can stand only on one leg. All the photographs were taken in Bijelo polje in vicinity of Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Have a lovely day!  Malo kasnim s odgovorima na komentare jer sam se jako prehladila pa neću ni sada puno pisati.  Kombinacija je jako udobna i ugodna za nošenje.  Jako sam zadovoljna s ovom upečatljivom ogrlicom koju sam napravila sama. Još uvijek ne mogu hodati kako treba, a pogledate li fotografije pažljivo, vidjeti ćete da stalno stojim na jednoj nozi. Sve su fotografije uslikane u Bijelom polju kraj Mostara (BIH). Želim vam svima ugodan dan!  necklace/ogrlica: DIY ...
