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

Today I'm sharing two 'fashion blogger off duty outfits' with you. This is the kind of outfits I wear when I go hiking: comfy and warm. Furthermore, I'm going to show you more views of Jelsa village, taken from both sides of the bay this little port village is situated in. The nature surrounding Jelsa is truly beautiful. Following the coastal pathways, you can hike both left and right to discover enchanting bays and untouched nature. You can also hike the green hills this island has to over. Hvar is also known as the green island. It is covered in pine tree forest so walking here will do wonders for your lungs.

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...
