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

Today I'm back with another must see place in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you happen to visit Herzegovina some day, I would strongly recommend visiting Hum, a hill (dormant volcano) overlooking the Mostar city. You can drive there by car if you prefer not to walk/hike there. If you want to see more of this view, I already blogged about it here and here . The view is absolutely stunning. As long as we're on the topic, I read somewhere that photographs taken from this so called 'bird perspective' can improve one's mood and have hence proved useful in treating depression. That's very interesting, isn't it?  I can personally tell you that I love this kind of photography. With the usage of drones, it has become quite widespread. Still, I'm not tired out it. What is even better is naturally enjoying these kind of views first hand, without the help from the digital tools. Do you like this kind of photography? Do you feel the need to get away from...

I only own one faux fur coat, but sometimes one is enough. In my case, one will have to do because I still haven't found a worthy substitute to this old thing that I have been wearing since I was a teenager (and that used to belong to my mother). How to wear a faux fur coat? Today I have prepared for you a selection of faux fur coat fashion illustrations and outfits. If you browse all the outfit proposals I have prepared for you, you will see that I love to pair a faux coat with jeans. In addition, I've decided to share an outfit post with you, something I don't get to do very often nowadays (ever since fashion illustrations took over my blog) but that I still enjoy. The outfit in question is a combination of jeans and biker boots, something very comfortable to wear and very day time appropriate. A bit of casual chic is always a good idea. I feel like a faux fur coat is a great way to make any casual outfit look more dressed up and feminine. What do you think...

I love how this fashion illustration of mine turned out. It might be immodest of me to say so, but I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere with them. Can it be that I'm starting to see developments in terms of my illustrating style? I do hope so. Anyhow, with this illustration I'm combining two things that I, quite possibly, love the most: reading and painting.  I thought it might be fun. It was.  Is book the ultimate fashion accessory? Well, if you want to look smart, it probably won't hurt. Yesterday (here on blog ) I was all about how we need to embrace the digital and audio formats when it comes to reading, but today I'm sharing an illustration of two girls reading together and doing it the traditional way. Hey, wait! Wasn't that also the subject of the unnamed watercolour painting I shared yesterday? Yes, it was. You see, recently something caught my eye. I have noticed, in the background of one rather well known 16th century painting, an interes...
