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

As the title would imply, this list is highly subjective- that is why I used the personal pronoun in the title. I suppose that any destination list is somewhat subjective, but this one is especially so. My favourite destinations clearly implies that it is all about my personal preference. There are many amazing destinations in Croatia so pay in mind that this list is only about my experiences.  Half of the places on this lists are placed on island Hvar and all of them are in the region of Dalmatia, so clearly there is some nepotism in my choices. I admit to it without hesitation, for as I said, this is a personal list.  In 2019, I have spend a total of four months in Croatia. What were my happy places? What destinations I choose to return to? Today I'll share with you some of my favourite places in Croatia. Where relevant, the photographs are linked up with original posts, you may click them to see and read more. I typically do write something about places I visit...

Hello darlings! I thought it would be fun if I did a little recap with vintage items I have worn the most last year. I love vintage clothes and I think they add something interesting to every outfit. There are so many benefits to wearing vintage clothes, from ecological to practical ones. Vintage items are often quality made, meaning you can rely on them. Moreover, vintage pieces add that sense of history and style to the most simple of our outfits. I often pair my vintage items with my every day items. Typically I don't do the all vintage (historically and period accurate) looks, rather I pair my vintage pieces with modern clothes. So, let's see what items I have worn the most this year. The photographs are linked with the original outfit posts in case you want to see more. Scroll down to see more.  1.

The 'suit up' trend was really big in 2019, but you know what? I don't think it's going anywhere in 2020. In fact, the suit up trend will probably remain a thing next year. Why do I think so? Well, to start with the suits were all over the catwalks this year. There is hardly a designer who didn't feature suits in their autumn/winter (and even spring/summer) collections. Even those designs who typically don't feature suits are now embracing this trend. With suits being so present, it is only to be expected that we will start to see different interpretations of this trend. The 'suit up' look has never been so versatile as it is today. These days you can style a suit with sneakers and nobody will look at you twice. The materials that suits come in have never been more versatile. Even those who swear by casual style can find a suit for themselves because these days one can easily find suits in denim and curd. Moreover, mixing and matching is allowed as well...
