Ruffles flair

Even though I am definitely not the one who blindly follows trends, I am genuinely loving this summer´s hype for ruffles. Coming from a girl who up to couple of years ago wore nothing but black, long Dr. Martens black boots and spike as a nose-ring, this is saying a lot. No, I will not be sharing photos like those today, since thankfully I do not have many of them, but I will be crossing to the other side, the side of ruffles and summer clothing, bright colors and bare feet. If someone told me, just couple of years ago, that I would wear ruffles and colors and dresses and that I would actually feel good in it - I would`ve laughed in their face. However time passes, people change & evolve and so does our style. I`m personally very happy for "coloring" my closet and for letting more color and brightness in my life as well. Such is the case with my favorite piece - ruffles off the shoulder top - in a bright baby blue and dancing with the wind. And that`s exactly why I love it.

Sarajevo: walking on the bob sleigh

This is my first post about Sarajevo & I chose to talk about locations ideal for photographers & bloggers. The reason why I chose to start off with this topic is because I`ve been focusing a lot on that for the past couple of months and wanted to share with all of you photography lovers and enthusiasts special places in Sarajevo.

These are not commercial places, not many people will tell you about them, nor will the travel agencies take you there. One of my favorite places in Sarajevo is a bob sleigh located on the mountain Trebevic, half an hour drive from the center of Sarajevo. It has been built for the Winter Olympic games in 1984 but is no longer used today since it`s been destroyed during the war. The remnants of it are a pure heaven for photographers and all lovers of photography. It is one of the rare places in the world where you can actually walk on the bob sleigh. Today it is covered with various graffiti which makes it even more interesting and therefore a cool location to visit.

I came back from Sarajevo couple of days ago and while I was there I did a small photo shooting. Hope you like the photos and if the road ever takes you to Sarajevo, make sure not to miss visiting this intricate place.

Winter is here! And it's never been more delicious.

This post is entirely about chocolate. As a chocolate lover it was a pure pleasure to try out Lindor chocolate and share it with you guys. You haven't tasted heaven in your mouth until you try one of these. Melting chocolate and soft texture will make you crazy about these tiny packages of great pleasure. I have captured some of my special Lindor moments and am glad to share it with the blogging world. Hope you enjoy the Lindor chocolate photos as much as I've enjoyed eating them. 😂

Did I mention I love a good flatlay?

Autumn. No need for further introduction. Those colors. The nature rolls out her own magnificent palette out of her sleeve and starts painting. And boy can she paint. And the entry to her gallery is free of charge, for those who can stop for a moment and enjoy the masterpieces. In this series of flatlays I have tried to capture a piece of her beauty. Hope you enjoy them!

Post cards from Mostar

There is a city in the south of Bosnia & Herzegovina called Mostar. Many folk songs sing about it. Many stories tell about it. The latest one is a bit sad one but mostly an inspirational one. See, there is a famous Old Bridge in Mostar. It was built between 1557. and 1566.  by the Ottoman builder called Mimar Hajrudin. During the latest war in BiH it was completely torn down in 1993. by some very bad and very stupid people. (that`s what I think of any wars - stupid people fighting for other people`s interests). Anyway, back to the story - because it was so famous and beautiful, the stones from the old Old Bridge were taken from the river Neretva and with them, the new Old Bridge was reconstructed - based on the design of the original bridge and using most of the stones from the original one.

If you ever come to Bosnia and Herzegovina, you have to come to Mostar and walk across this lovely bridge made of pride, hope, defiance and most importantly love. 

Black'n'white

Did you know that Henry Ford once said that a customer can have a car painted any color he wants as long as it's black. Well, when it comes to clothing colors it appears I'm a lot like Henry Ford. Although in my defence I mosty combine black AND white clothes, but you get the picture, or pictures in this case.

71000 is a postcode of a certain city located at the crossroads between the East and the West, at the crossroads of religions, nations and cultures. The name of the city is Sarajevo.

Sarajevo. My home town. A place you can love and a place you can hate, usually at the same time, but a place that will definitely not leave you indifferent. There is an old saying here that who ever once drinks water from Bascarsija (an old part of Sarajevo), will always come back to it. And usually the saying comes true.

I know veryone of us loves the places we were born in, but Sarajevo... Sarajevo's a special kind of love. The kind of love you can only experience by walking through its streets, by listening to the church bells and prayer calls from the mosques, by inhaling the smells of it's delicious cuisine and by drinking that mysterious water from Bascarsija. I dare you to come here and walk that walk, taste that food and drink that water from Bascarsija. I dare you to leave a piece of your heart here and always come back to it.
