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

Time for another Fashion Friday Feature. Fashion illustration has been a hobby for me for a long time. I've pretty much been illustrating fashionable ladies since I can remember. I even used to make paper Barbies when I was a kid- that was fun! Anyhow, over the years, I tried out various styles of fashion illustrating, some more classic, some more artistic and whimsical. I've never attempted digital art, but with a bit of help from editing magic, today I moved some of my fashion illustration to island Hvar. You could say that I let my illustrated gals enjoy some sunshine. I like mixing up my fashion art with my travel photography. I don't do typical digital art, but I sometimes like to add digital effects to my fashion art. Scroll down to see and more. MANY WAYS TO DO FASHION ILLUSTRATION When it comes to fashion illustration, I haven't done it all, but I've done and tried out a lot of things. Starting with the mediums, I have tried it all: markers, p...

Today I'm sharing two outfit proposals and one travel proposal with you. The travel proposal is charming Sucuraj on island Hvar, a place I visited twice in two days before the Christmas holidays (if you read this post then you know why). Anyhow, the first outfit proposal features a camel coat, a grey dress, a printed scarf and a pair brown boots. The second outfit is all about my favourite magenta coat and the suit up look. I do believe suits are going to be a big trend this year. I wrote about it here . Both outfits were quite warm and comfortable, simply perfect for this time of year.  THE STORY OF AN OUTFIT- HOW I WORE IT BEFORE This outfit is composed of only four clothing items, but it was quite cozy nevertheless. All of these items I had before so I'll link up posts where I'm wearing them:  1. a camel coat (previously worn  here ,  here ,    here ,  here  and  here ) 2. a printed scarf (this lovely scarf was a gift from f...

With three months of winter ahead of us, it makes sense to talk winter fashion. Midi skirts and dresses are often my 'go to' items during winter. One of the reasons why I like to wear the midi length in winter is because midis are not only practical but they can be quite warm, especially if you pair them with boots. I do like a good maxi but some of them can be a challenge to walk in and besides midis are perfect for showing off our shoes. Now, that I think of it, I often end up pairing a midi skirt with a coat and boots (see here  and here ). It is such an easy outfit formula to put together, but it can look amazingly chic. Do you agree? How do you feel about  the midi length?  WHEN IN DOUBT PAIR A STATEMENT COAT WITH A MIDI SKIRT When I put together this outfit, it was surprisingly neutral so I added to add some colour with this gorgeous magenta coat. I'm pretty sure I've always been a fan of statement and coloured coats (even way back when these coats ...
