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

This morning was marked my attempt to get back in shape. After not exercising for nearly a month  because I had an operation last July, I decided to get back on track.  I've exercised this morning and I'm now a bit sore, but I do plan to exercise more in the afternoon. It is never easy to start working out after an operation, but what must be done, must be done. I'm fully recovered now, so I don't have any excuses. I suppose it is time to make time for fitness again! Today I'll mostly talk clothes, though. That and share with you some wonderful Herzegovina's nature. That doesn't sound so bad, right? I'll leave fitness talk for some other day. How To Style Jeans in Summer?  Jeans are not my first option for Summer, I have to admit to that. As you might have noticed I prefer to rely on dresses and skirts during the warmer months of the year. Still, denim has its advantages. It is very versatile and it is easy to dress it up and down. One of the gr...

Ruffles are here to stay! Is it just me or have printed ruffle skirts really been trending this summer? I keep seeing printed ruffled skirts around, especially in midi length. I really like this trend so I prepared my own styling suggestion. My outfit proposal of the day is all about styling a ruffle skirt so it's suitable for every day wear, but it still looks a bit dressed up (which is basically something I'm always trying to achieve because I like to feel a bit dressed up). Anyhow, I paired this ruffle skirt with a printed t- shirt I got from my aunt. I do like the print: 'Awesome's girls club'. It's sounds like a club I would like to join! Perhaps I should start one? What do you say? My aunt (who doesn't speak English btw), had actually asked the sale's girl to translate the writing before she bought this tee. Isn't that sweet? You know, I'd say that printed tees are a great way to make any outfit more casual and daytime appropriate.  Still,...

How to wear yellow in summer? Like with any trend, if you are not sure how to tackle it, start slow. Baby steps. You can always warm up to this colour with accessories. Why not try wearing a yellow belt or a scarf? Here, for example, I wore a yellow scarf around my straw hat. Similarly, a yellow bag might be a great choice. Yellow bag is not only a great pop of colour in the summer, it is also a bag you can wear all year around. In my experience, a yellow bag is a fantastic way to cheer up any outfit. Similarly, you can take it from there and pick one clothing item in yellow while keeping the rest of the outfit in black (or whatever colour you prefer).  For me personally, yellow is an easy choice. I can even imagine myself in a total yellow outfit. This plastic yellow bag I'm wearing here is an old find. I must have worn this bag a hundred times. This cropped yellow top is pretty old as well. It's from a Croatian brand that no longer exists but that I used to wear all th...
