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

Wearing sporty items on every day basis is quite a common sight these days. Active wear fashion is quite a trend. Gym outfits are often featured on inspirational boards.  Considering that an average person can definitely  benefit from being more physically  active, perhaps that is not a bad thing.  Can good active wear inspire us to be more physically active? Well, never underestimate  a power of a cute outfit. On the other hand, I often wear dresses for hiking, so I can't say that wearing something fancy has ever stopped me from being physically active. The only thing that sometimes gets into way of my love for sports and outdoor activities is an active case of Chron disease (with almost no remission during more than a decade) but that's another story. Long story short, I do exercise when I can and I still like the gym outfit trend, but sometimes I also like to get dressed up. I'd probably get bored of sporty outfits if I wore them on every day basis. Combinin...

Sweater dresses are, quite possibly,  the only item that is even more cozy than a sweater. Well, if we don't count oversize sweaters for they are really just a different kind of sweater dresses, aren't they?  I mean oversize sweater can be styled as sweater dresses too. I wonder isn't that how sweater dresses came to be? How do you like to style your sweater dresses? I sometimes pair them with leggings and tights, but once in a while I do like to wear a pair of jeans. That presents me with the following dilemma: how to wear a sweater dress with jeans and still look chic? Sweater dresses are wonderfully warm and paired with coats and jeans, they can be the perfect solution for the colder days. Still, how to pull it off without looking sloppy? The thing is that sweater dresses might not be the most flattering option with jeans, especially if they are lighter in colour and the jeans are blue. I imagine that an all black styling would be an easy choice, but that's too easy...

Hello darlings! It's suddenly gotten a lot colder here, but I still have one warm autumn styling proposal to share with you. I wore this cute neutral outfit while the sun was still shining bright. On that lovely sunny day, I decided to pair my white (authentic) folklore shirt with a striped mini, dark leggings and a dark green vest. I finished this look with my brown boots and a tartan belt. Besides this outfit, I will share another book review on my blog today. East West by Salman Rushdie also happens to falls into category of magic realism. I'm no stranger to Salman Rushdie,  I read Midnight's children a while back and I started but never finished Satanic Verses . This is the first time I read his short stories, though.  I really liked this collection and I can't wait to tell you all about it. THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT- HOW I WORE IT BEFORE First, a few more words about my comfy but feminine styling. When you're looking for comfort, shoes are a good pl...
