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

It was raining when these photographs were taken and the weather was rather gloomy, but I didn't mind. Can you guess why? Recently I've talked about my love for patterns and prints. Well, I'm feeling quite happy right now because I received two dresses from dresslink. Both of them are exactly my cup of tea. It feels so nice to slip into a cute dress. It always make me feel more feminine and lady like. That would be all for today. Have a great weekend!  Kišilo je kada su ove fotografije uslikane i vrijeme je bilo poprilično sumorno, ali nije me bilo briga. Možete li pogoditi zašto? Nedavno sam pričala o svojoj ljubavi prema uzorcima. Danas sam poprilično sretna jer sam dobila dvije haljine od dresslinka. Obje su baš po mome guštu. Lijep je osjećaj nositi neku slatku haljinu. Odmah se osjećam ženstveno i više kao dama. Ugodan vikend!  post update: Another way to wear this pattern dress. This polka dot pattern with roses is so chic! striped dress/haljina na prugice...

" A play may be violent, full of motion: yet it has that special kind of repose which allows contemplation and produces the climate in which tragic importance is a possible thing, provided that certain modern conditions are met. In actual existence the moments of love are succeeded by the moment of safety and sleep. The sincere remark is followed by a cynic distrust. Truth is fragmentary, at best: we love and betray each other not in quite the same breath but in two breaths that occur in fairly close sequence."                                       The Timeless World of a Play , Tennessee Williams "Drama može biti nasilna, u stalnom kretanju, no  ipak ima onu posebno vrstu pribranosti koja omogućava promišljanje i stvara klimu u kojoj je tragična važnost mogućnost, ukoliko se izađe u susret nekim modernim uvjetima. U stvarnosti, trenutci ljubavi se nastavljaju na trenutke sig...

 What is your solution for those really cold days? I tend to fight the cold with layering and exposing as little skin as possible. That means scarves, gloves, caps, puffers and long coats....all those things I like to call full winter gear. Lately I've been quite enjoying this challenge of wearing as much clothes as humanly possible. This year (perhaps for the first time), I'm not at all impatient for the Spring to arrive but rather I'm enjoying this Winter. I'm not complaining about the wind (south or nothern) and I'm not bothered by the rain. If the night is too cold for a long evening walk, I have my fabulous book collection to rely on. Koje je vaše rješenje za one doista hladne dane? Ja se nosim s hladnoćom uz pomoć slojevitoga odijevanja i minimalnoga otkrivanja kože. To znači šalove, rukavice, kape, debele jakne i duge kapute...i sve te stvari koje volim zvati punom zimskog opremom.  U zadnje vrijeme poprilično uživam u tom izazovu nošenja što više odjeć...

I think I may have a slight addiction to patterns. Tartan, stripes, animal and flower print...I just can't get enough. I experiment with minimalist style occassionaly, but I always come back to prints and patterns, colours and contrasts. I guess we all have something we really like when it comes to clothes, style  and fashion. There is always that something we can never get tired of.  For example, for me it is turtlenecks and statement necklaces. I seem to always pair them together. Do you have any fashion addictions? I wore this sporty outfit on one very sunny winter day, so sunny that I was in fact blinded by the sun, as you can see in this photographs. This is not the first time I paired this jacket with this skirt. Interesting how an outfit can be changed with a choice of footware. Sneakers transform any outfit into a casual and sporty one. With heels, this outfit would look completely different, right? Mislim da sam pomalo ovisna o uzorcima. Karirano, pruge, životinj...
