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

Don't you just love reading in summer time? It's time for another reading update. The location of this post is once again bay Torac, island Hvar. I love the colours of island Hvar, I can never get tired of them. This sea view is a gorgeous one. I've recently blogged about my island Hvar island experience ( here , here , here ) so check it out if you want to see more. My outfit is an example of an easy and simple summer styling. The only thing new about it is the necklace. I made the necklace myself while I was on Hvar, from left over materials. My mother bought a fringed curtain that was too long so we cut the ends and I made several necklaces from the left over materials. As you can imagine, I felt really good about myself for being able to think of a sustainable thing to do with the fringed material so quickly. It only took me a few hours to make several necklaces and I already gifted some of them away. Sometimes it pays off to have a creative mind. The pink crochet top...

A classical pair of wide trousers will never go out of style. Today's post is for all of you who'd like to jump on the wide-leg trouser trend or just happen to like this style. Summer is not all about relaxed and vacation vibes. Sometimes we want (or need) to  put together a more elegant and sophisticated styling. You guys know I love to wear dresses. However, sometimes trousers are a better option. Even dress lovers will agree that a nice pair of trousers can take one far. Sometimes I like nothing better than a pair of high waist wide trousers, especially when I want to put together a professional looking outfit. The question of the day: 'How to elegantly style wide trousers for summer?' Today I have a classy summer outfit proposal for you and one that is easy to put together. One of the benefits of wide cut trousers is they are often quite comfortable. In addition, the wide cut often helps us achieve that fabulous vintage vibe. These trousers are easy to dress up...

What to wear when you're travelling? In summer, I often opt for print dresses because they are fun and seem to go well with anything. I packed quite a few printed dresses for my visit to island Hvar (Croatia). As long as the dresses are comfortable, they are my 'go to' travel outfit. This mixed print dress is one of my favourite travel summer dresses. You have seen me wear it a lot on this blog, especially for hiking and sightseeing (and you know I believe in shopping one's closet). It's a great day to night dress as well, quite easy to dress up and down. My outfit proposal of the day is more casual in tone so you could said that I dressed the dress down. The shoes I choose to go along with this dress are printed sandals from Art brand . I bought them when I was in Split last spring and they're super comfortable (not sponsored).  I also wore a backpack because they are more practical for travelling. I have quite a pragmatic mind when it comes to fashion, and I ...

Hello, lovely readers! Summer is finally here. Are you as excited about summer as I am? Today I'm back with another summer styling, and this time it's about a white floral maxi dress. I love white items for the summer, and if they come with a floral print even better. If you read my last post, you know that I decided to welcome the summer in bay Torac (on island Hvar, Croatia). I told you that one of the first things I packed was a yellow jumpsuit as it is a good vacay item and so easy to throw on when you're at the beach. Another essential vacation classic is a maxi dress. This white maxi dress with a cute floral print proved to be the perfect vacation item because it is so easy to dress up and down (for example, here you can see how I styled this maxi with kitten heels ). I actually got this white maxi dress as a part of a collaboration review post last year. Today you can see me wearing it in a more dressed down summer version, with tropical print sandals ( same here )...
