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

Do you like nautical print? I do. Pairing this dress with tights felt kind of wrong, but it stopped me from worrying about whether it is too short or not. So, here it is. A simple liitle outfit with a little nautical print dress....because some of us can't resist prints. Moreover, for some of us LBD will remained something to be admired but rarely worn.  p.s. The temperatures are sky high in Mostar and I unless I don't have to I don't go out of the house before 7 p.m. Mostar is surrounded by mountains which are amazing sight for the eyes but they also trap the warm air (you can't have it all) making this city a hard place to live in during the summer months. I might write some tips on how to surive Summer in the city soon. Do you have any tips to share? How are you surviving summer in a city (taken that you happen to live in one)? Volite li mornaski uzorak? Ja ga volim. Nošenje ove ljetne haljinice s hulahopkama mi se činilo nekako pogrešno, ali barem se nisa...

Hi there! As you can see I'm no longer in Split (Croatia),  I'm actually in Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina) at the moment. I made a stop in a local library here to pick up some books. Yesterday I've read Buddha in Supermarket by Dario Rukavina and even if this collection of stories one wasn't my cup of tea, it seems to me that this author may have some potential. I will be searching for more of his works. Now, about the outfit. I feel like wearing something all pink and feminine. This skirt is vintage and the flowers you can see on it are DIY meaning that I painted them myself. I've always been a DIY kind of gal, especially when it came to fashion. I think I will add some extra details to this pencil skirt. What do you think about this outfit? Is it something you would wear yourself? Do you own a foulard? How do you wear it? Do you like pencil skirt? ...and to answer the question from my title, I think DIY is good for the soul because it makes us more creati...

Just in case you're wondering, the location for these photographs is University campus in Split city (Croatia). The first building (in order of appearance) is University library of Split and the others are  mostly university buildings ( University of Engineering, University of Economics etc). This location was featured previously on my blog a number of times ( for example  here ) and  since then, a lot of people inquired about it, that's why I'm taking a moment to reflect on it. I personally like to go for a walk here and not only because it is where I live. One of my favourite writers ( Roger Zelazny) said he likes libraries because it makes him feel safe to be surrounded by walls of knowledge. I share his sentiment. Maybe that is what draws me to this place. There is something comforting about the search for knowledge, at times it even seems more complete to me than search for happiness that is so often elusive. After all, in life we must forever remain students...
