Golden hour...

Oduvek sam bila ljubitelj ''safari'' trenda. Nakon prave invazije jakih boja, ekcentričnih printova i tekstura, uželela sam se nešto mirnijih nijansi i klasičnijeg dizajna. ''Safari'' sa svojim svedenim modelima, prijatnim materijalima i najdivnijim nijansama bež boje, pripada grupi onih nepravedno zaboravljenih modnih epizoda. Nadajući se njegovom skorom (upečatljivijiem!) povratku na svetske piste, kroz današnji post provlačim crtu ovog trenda, pre svega u vidu boja i materijala. Nadam se da će vam se moja interpretacija ''safarija'' dopasti.
Do idućeg posta veliki pozdrav i poljubac za sve!Vaša B.

I've always been a fan of safari trend. After the real invasion of strong colors, prints and textures during this few past seasons, I realy need some calmer tones and more classic design in my wardrobe. Safari trend with its comfortable design and materials and the most magnificent shades of beige, belongs to the one of those unjustly forgotten fashion episodes. As I hope of soon returning of this trend, today's post is dedicate to it. Primarily in the form of colors and materials. I hope that you will like my interpretation of safari.
Until the next post a greeting and a kiss for all! Your B.

Embrace The Spring...

Danas, manje reči više slika. 

One nekako uvek najviše govore, mada već znate da se reči odričem tek kada imam dobar razlog za to. Čini mi se da su danas nastale fotografije dovoljno dobar uzrok mog ''ćutanja''. 

Proleće je tu... Prigrlite ga, najčvršće, i uživajte... 

Onako kako ste tokom čitave zime maštali da ćete.

Do idućeg posta veliki poljubac za sve. Vaša B.

Today, for you, less words more pictures.
They, somehow, always speak up better, even though, I give up of words just when I have a good reason for it. Today's photos are one of those reasons.
Spring is here ... Embrace it, strongest, and enjoy ...
Just as you have dreamed during the winter.
Until next post big kiss to all. Yours B.

Iako mi kategoričko određivanja ''must have'' komada po sezoni nikada nije bilo omiljena disciplina, ovog proleća menjam stav i pod kategorijom ''neophodno'' smeštam odela sa šorcem umesto pantalona. Brojne interpretacije pomenutog trenda od strane najvećih imena svetske dizjnerske scene dokazuju da se radi o pravom modnom imeprativu sezone. Za bojazan da će aktuelnost pomenutog komada iščeznuti zajedno sa krajem sezone proleće/leto 2012, jednostavno nema mesta, jer se ovde vraćamo čistoj neprolaznoj klasici. Vodeći se time, još pre dobrih mesec dana osmislila sam svoju verziju opisanog trenda, prepustivši krajnju realizaciju svojoj šnajderki teta Miri. Sada sa ogromnim nestrpljnjem čekam dovoljno tople dane ne bih li ponela svoje novo odelo u nežnoj ''breskva'' nijansi (trenutno je u pripremi i jedno u teget boji u mornarskom stilu). Namerno vam spominjem šnajderku, jer mi se čini da ćete sa ovim trendom najekonomičnije proći uoliko se opredeliti za handmade momenat. Ne toliko zahtevan kroj i dostupnost vrlo kvalitetnih materijala za potrebe ovakvog modela, idu vam na ruku, te uoliko imate vešte ruke u blizini, ne dvoumite se previše. I za kraj, ono što me je posebno privuklo ovom trendom, jeste njegova prilagodljivost prilikama, dobima dana i raspoloženju. Vidim ga kao posebno pogodnog za devojke koje su celog dana u pokretu i kojima je potrebna ekspresna transformacija iz dnevnog u večernji izgled. 

Dakle:  praktično, ekonomično (u jednom dobijate dva), nosivo, šik a opet udobno. 

Jednostavno, jedan od onih modnih momanata koji ne smete propustiti. 

Two words for today: shorts & suites. After a long time, I realy fall in love with one trend and I can truly say this is my choice for the next season. I find it very classical, but in the same time very refreshing. Also, I think it's very adjustable for various occasions and moods, and great for girls who are always in rush (you can easy transform this piece from the day look to the look for night).

 I already have one in peach color, and I am waiting for a second one that will be in navy blue. 

How do you see this trend? Would you wear it in the next season?

Viva La Vida...

Nakon kratkog blog-predaha, evo me ponovo na istoj ''frekvenciji'' sa novim nedeljnim outfit postom. Ovog puta moj odabir garderobe vođen je onom tradicionalnom nedeljnom željom za udobnošću, te se široki džemper sa Sheinside.com-a u kombinaciji sa omiljenom karo košuljom i starkama nametnuo kao logičan izbor. Kada smo već kod džempera, za koji  već sada mogu reći da predstavlja jedan od onih komada koji nose epitet ''večni'' bez obzira na aktuelne trendove i smenjivanje sezona, zadovljstvo mi je da vas obavestim da vas na Sheinside.com-u čeka popust od 20 % uz korišćenje posebnog koda: BRAN20. U pitanju je specijalizovani kod za čitaoce Divine World-a uz koji ćete imati popust na sve kupljene artikle do 30. aprila. Nadam se da ćete iskoristiti ovu finu mogućnost, i obradovati sebe nekom od sjajnih stvarčica sa ovog online modnog kutka. A nadam se da će vam se dopasti i moje poigravanje sa crvenom, tegetom i krem bojom u ovom outfit postu. Do idućeg veliki pozdrav i poljubac za sve! Vaša B.   

After a short blog-break, here I am again on the same ''frequency'' with a new Sunday outfit post. This time my wardrobe selection is guided by the traditional Sunday desire for comfort, so a wide sweater from Sheinside. com in combination with my favorite shirt and Converse sneakers was the logical choice. Speaking of sweater, it is my pleasure to inform you that you can save 20% off by entering coupon code:BRAN20 at checkout for any of pieces from Sheinside.com. This code is exclusive for my readers and will be expired April 30th. I hope you will take this fine opportunity, and delight yourself with some great little thing from this online fashion corner. And I hope you will like my  way of playing with red, navy and cream color in this outfit post. 

Until next greeting and a kiss for all! Your B.

P.S. hvala mojoj J. za sjajne fotografije <3

Fashion, Fantasy, Art

It comes from the gut. It's like a kind of instinct, where you combine feeling with experience. For me, history and the links to it are important. I want to tell old stories in a different way, so they make sense today.













Images: Trurt everyone enjoyed the weekend. We had a very busy one. Had eight guests round for a formal dinner Saturday night ( first course pictured above). Added the final touches to a painting I've been working on for a few months ( see above piece).

Wore my new shoes to the Johan Creten exhibit Friday evening, had coffee with friends Saturday lunchtime at a lively streetside cafe. I love the cafe life here in Paris. It inspires one to paint. The last picture was painted by my busy little hands. Wishing everyone a sparkling week. Follow our blog via Bloglovin HERE
