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

Hello! How are you? Today I'm sharing one of my fashion illustrations with you. This fashion illustration was inspired not only by what I wore on that particular day but also by the place I visited. Considering that the location (Kravice in Herzegovina) plays an important part in this little illustration, I decided to make it the theme of this post. Therefore, I included not only the refrence photo for this illustration but also photographs from other old posts shot at this place (and links to them). Have a lovely day! Zdravo! Kako ste? Danas s vama dijelim jednu od svojih modnih ilustracija. Ova modna ilustracija nije nadahnuta samo onime što sam nosila toga određenoga dana već i mjestom koje sam podsjetila. Uzimajući u obzir da je lokacija ( Kravice u Hercegovini) važan dio ove male ilustracije odlučila sam da će ona biti tema današnje objave. Stoga sam uključila ne samo fotografiju koja mi je bila nadahnuće za ovu ilustraciju, već i druge fotografije koje su uslikane na o...

Hello! How are you? Have you gotten a good night sleep? Are you enjoying the weekend yet? Do you have any plans for this evening? This outfit is actually from last year. However, the gloomy weather you can see in these photographs is right on point as it is exactly the kind of weather we have right now (I arrived to Mostar late last night). Fortunately, Mostar is one of those cities that are handsome even when the weather is nothing short of ghastly. Moreover, despite the fact that this outfit is from last year, it is something I could have easily worn today as it is warm enough to opt for a short jacket. You may notice that I'm holding a novel in my hand. In case anyone is wondering what novel it is, I will say it is   The Amulet of Samarkand,  written by Jonathan Strout. It is the first novel in Bartimaeus thrilogy.  I only read this first one, but as I really enjoyed reading it, I'm planning to read the sequels as well. I must say that the fact this novel is consid...

Who says we need to buy new clothes all the time? I certainly don't think we need to buy them in order to enjoy dressing up. Everything I'm wearing in this outfit, I've had for years. In fact, some of these clothing items date back to my childhood. I have this opinion that when we own a certain clothing item for a long time, we grow attached to it (at least that is the case with me) . Moreover, the mere fact of having had some item for a while makes (or it might make ) it more meanigful for us. In addition, it makes it easier for us to style it because we know it so well. What do you think about this theory of mine? Naturally, we have to buy new clothes eventually because they old ones won't last forever. Naturally, there is nothing wrong in buying new clothes and enjoying the process. Nevertheless, in this world of consumerism it is a nice when someone takes cares of a certain item and wants to preserve it. Such attachments to clothes may be called sentimantal, but t...

 What does an 'outfit post' means to you? What is your favourite kind to shot? What is your favourite kind to see? I like to keep things diverse but personally I love unplanned outfits, those that happen when I just grab the first thing I see. Similarly, when it comes to outfit post, I usually end up liking the most those that are quite spontaneous.  Stress free. Honest. Simple. Easy.  Što za vas znači objava s odjevnom kombinacijom? Kakve volite snimati? Kakve najviše volite vidjeti? Ja volim raznolikost, ali osobno volim neplanirane odjevne kombinacije, one koje se dogode kada samo uzmem ono što mi prvo dođe pod ruku...i kada se radi o objavama posvećenima odjeći, moram priznati da mi se obično najviše svide one koje su posve spontane. Bez stresa. Iskrene. Jednostavne. Lake.

Last night I hardly got any sleep, but I'm not complaining. I have spent most of the night reading Germinal by Zola. I may be feeling like a train ran me over right now, but such a novel is surely worth one sleepless night. There is no need to be overly elaborative in my praises for Germinal is considered to be a masterpiece ( besides this is not a literature blog). However, it is so great that it deserves a mention. What I was surprised with was just how emotional my reaction to it was. Long story short, I absolutely loved this classical work of literature. So, I do recommend you to read it (in case you haven't read it yet). Now, let's say a few words about my today's post.  This outfit was really fun to illustrate. I wore it last March but I didn't get the chance to post it before. I'm kind of glad I waited until now, because it ended up inspiring me to do this illustartion. I don't often illustrate myself because it is kind of boring because there isn...
