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

EN Happy first day of summer! My last post was all about how much  I loved Zavala and how I would like to visit it again. Guess what? I did. I visited Zavala again and I loved it. If you want to know more about this wonderful place on island Hvar, feel free to check out my last post titled  VISIT ZAVALA ON ISLAND HVAR.   I'm sure my readers won't mind seeing more of this place. HR Sretan prvi dan ljeta! Moja zadnja objava je bila o tome koliko mi se svidjela Zavala i kako bi ju voljela posjetiti ponovo. Pogodite što se dogodilo. Posjetila sam ju ponovo i bilo mi je odlično. Ako želite imati o ovom predivnom mjestu na otoku Hvaru, slobodno posjetite moju zadnju objavu koja se prigodno zove POSJETITE ZAVALU NA OTOKU HVARU.  Sigurna sam da mojim čitateljima neće smetati vidjeti još više Zavale.  How has the first day of summer treated you? Mine has been bittersweet but so are many things right now. The epidemic is changing the world as we know it. Like many, ...

Zavala was love at first sight. I can still see its beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea when I close my eyes. Such a serene place to be! I visited Zavala about two months ago (in April) when we finally managed to find some time for a short visit. I have never visited prior to that day, despite having roots on the island. However, since I'm currently living on island Hvar, I really have no excuse to miss out on exploring Zavala. Zavala je bila ljubav na prvi pogled. Još uvijek mogu vidjeti njene prekrasne plaže i kristalno more kada zatvorim oči. Tako mirno mjesto! Prije otprilike dva mjeseca (u travnju) konačno smo ulovili trenutak za otići nakratko u Zavalu. Nisam nikad prije tamo bila, iako imam korijene na otoku Hvaru. S obzirom da trenutno živim na otoku Hvaru, odlučila sam iskoristiti priliku da ju konačno posjetim, a sada pogotovo nemam izliku da ju ne istražim.  You can get to Zavala from Jelsa in no time. The road is a bit challenging and narrow at times (often the case...

Hello dear readers and/or  fellow bloggers. I haven't been posting as often as I normally do for a while now (since the start of the pandemic really). In fact, I might be forced to change my post frequency  and blog less often in the future. The reason for that is hardly original. Just life being life: some health issues,  a lot of work and a definite lack of free time. However, today I'm back with some new and fresh content. If you like my fashion illustrations, you've come to the right place today. I have a few new fashion illustrations to show to you. As for the outfit I'm wearing, it's just something I threw on to look presentable for a quick photo shot with my fashion sketches. My outfit is a mix of old and the new (mostly old, though, only the skirt is new). I'm wearing a yellow blazer and a striped tee, a pair of pink heels and a floral skirt. WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO LATELY IN TERMS OF FASHION ILLUSTRATION Well, I haven't been up to much to be honest, ...

This pair of white trainers is more than eight years old. They appeared on one of the first posts on my blog back in 2012. You know, when I bought this pair of white sneakers years ago, I planned  to wear them mostly for jogging. Even thought I started to pair these sneakers with dresses quite early on, before it was trendy and all, I didn't expect to wear them this much. I remember how people commented that it was an odd combo, running sneakers and girly dresses, but perhaps I was a bit ahead of my time back then. This was all years ago before dad sneakers reappeared and rose in popularity. I remember being both repelled and attracted by the ugly sneaker trend. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, sometimes I hate ugly sneakers (especially the big ones), sometimes I love them. Who would have thought back then that ugly sneakers trend will last this long? Whatever you think about them, there is no doubt that many pairs of dad sneakers are extremely comfortable, especially th...
