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

Today I will take you on a virtual walk through Mostar city, more specifically through the old part of the town. Whether you're a history lover or not, the historical part of Mostar city will surely impress you. There is a reason why this place is so popular. It's an utterly beautiful area and it's extremely photogenic. I'm very excited I'll be sharing it with you today. Moreover, I'm going to give you some outfit tips for sightseeing the old bridge and the old city. As some of you know, I'm currently based in Mostar. One the benefits of being Mostar based is that the gorgeous historical centre is always available to me ( Click here to see my most recent blog post shot at old bridge in Mostar ) and that means I can give you good insider tips too. These photographs were all taken last Sunday when we decided to go for a walk through the old city after mass. We walked from the Saint Peter and Paul church and monastery to the old bridge, through the old to...

How to style a puffed sleeved striped vintage blouse with a peter pan collar? This puffed sleeve blouse is one of favourite vintage pieces in my closet. Today I'll show two spring outfits proposals featuring this blouse with you (because I'm all about shopping one's closet). One styling is more work appropriate, while the other is more casual. In both outfits, I used red details to contrast the blue and white stripes. I like to pair red accents with blue toned outfits you know. Another thing I wanted to show you that puffed sleeved shirts and tops aren't that difficult to style. Puff sleeved blouses look fabulous worn with both trousers and skirts. What I like about them is the romantic factor. To me puffed sleeves look very feminine and cute. Puffed tops and blouses can be the perfect way to elevate one's everyday casual or work look. Take a look and tell me whether you agree! Kako nositi vintage bluzu na prugice puf rukava s ovratnikom Petar Pan? Ova bluza ...

Hello! My fashion illustration giveaway has been closed and now it's time for me to announce the winner. It's a fellow blogger Julia from The Velvet Runaway blog . I'm happy that a fellow blogger won! You can see the giveaway  here  (the giveaway was powered by rafflecopter and the winner was randomly selected). There were actually only two participants in the giveaway, a fact that I will have to take in consideration when planning future giveaways. I probably won't do an art giveaway any time soon, taken that the interest in this one was so extremely low. Today's post won't be terribly long. It's almost the end of the term and since I work in the educational sector that means that things are a bit busy. I'll probably be looking for another job during the summer, so if I go MIA, that's the most likely reason. How do you feel about the approaching summer? I'm absolutely thrilled! My outfit proposal of the day is a very simple one. It...

Did you know there is a hidden lake in Mostar city? Well, now you do know. What is a point in being an insider if not to share some insider tips, right? Surprisingly, this lovely lake is quite unknown. Calling it a secret wouldn't be going to far. However, finding it is not really that difficult, if you know what you're looking for. I would definitely recommend visiting this gorgeous lake if you ever happen to visit Mostar city. This beautiful lake isn't man made. It wasn't planned or anything like that. It's basically river Neretva coming through old mining canals. There is also some underground water in this area, but this lake is probably composed entirely of Neretva river (it's on about the same level as the river). Many bird families have found their home there. It is a very serene place. Very few people visit it. I often get to enjoy a view of this stunning lake as it happens to be a part of my typical hiking route. HR Jeste li znali da postoji skriveno...
