Most of you who follow and read my blog know that over the summer I always work somewhere "close to the sea", with no exceptions. This and last one I've started helping G in one of the seasonal shops (main), because he needs to take care of the other two in the place where we live that are open all year round. Here you can find all kinds of souvenirs: books about Greece, statues and jars, postcards, pictures, magnets and similar, as well as some "fashionable accessories" such as: handbags, scarves, sunglasses, jewelry (including silver and gold). Maybe you can guess maybe not, but my favorite part has always been and will be- decoration. It's something I enormously enjoy doing, so much that during the sorting, stacking and putting things in a certain (conceived in my mind) place, I often lose track of time. Here is how one part looks like...

Vecina vas koji pratite i citate moj blog znate da preko leta uvek radim "na moru", bez izuzetaka. Ove kao i prosle godine pocela sam da pomazem J u jednoj od sezonskih radnji (glavna), jer on vodi racuna o druge dve u mestu gde zivimo koje su otvorene cele godine. Dakle tu mozete pronaci raznorazne suvenire: knjige o Grckoj, statue i cupove, razglednice, slike, magnete i slicno, ali i brojne "modne dodatke" kao sto su: torbe, marame, naocare, nakit (ukljucujuci srebro i zlato). Mozda pretpostavljate mozda ne, ali moj omiljeni deo je uvek bila i ostala dekoracija. To je nesto u cemu neizmerno uzivam, toliko da tokom razvrstavanja, slaganja i stavljanja stvari na odredjeno (iliti zamisljeno u mom umu) mesto, cesto izgubim pojam o vremenu. Evo kako izgleda jedan deo...

When I take a look at these pictures, I realize how much Laki is growing overnight, but literally! We captured those moments like two weeks ago, and he's two times bigger now! His teeth grow and he's chewing all things (because of that each pair of my shoes is completely out of the reach!) including wooden doors; his nails grow and I'm wearing marks (read: scratches!) on my hands with such a dignity and elegance. But well, it's all a natural process of growth, maturation and change, for both of us... we learn something new every day, and we're looking forward to it...

Kada bacim pogled na ove slike, shvatam koliko zapravo Laki poraste preko noci, ali bukvalno! Ove trenutke smo uslikali pre jedno dve nedelje, a on je sada dva puta veci! Zubi mu rastu pa gricka sve zivo (zato je svaki par mojih cipela apsolutno van domasaja!) ukljucujuci i drvena vrata; nokti mu rastu a ja vrlo dostojanstveno i elegantno nosim tragove (citaj: ogrebotine!) na svojim rukama. Ali dobro, sve je to proces odrastanja, sazrevanja i promene, i za jedno i drugo... ucimo i saznajemo nesto novo svakog dana, i radujemo se tome...

We all know that white and black color make a perfect match, both independently used in a combination or with a touch of another color- especially bright yellow and fiery red. No matter how much I consider myself to be a "coloristic type", from time to time I get struck by some "minimalistic moment" when I want to wear only one color from head to toe, or two/three moderate shades. To immediately "distance" myself- this refers to the colors, not the prints, it is quite another thing in my mind that doesn't fall under the same category! Exactly this look is a good example...

Svi znamo da se bela i crna boja fenomenalno slazu, kako samostalno tako i uz dasak neke druge boje- narocito blistavo zute i vatreno crvene. Ma koliko god ja bila "koloristicki tip", nekada mi prosto nadodje "minimalisticki trenutak" kada bih nosila samo jednu boju od glave do pete, ili pak dve/tri krajnje svedene nijanse. Da se odmah ogradim- ovo se odnosi na boje, ne i na printove, to je sasvim druga stvar koja u mom mozgu ne potpada pod istu kategoriju! Upravo ovaj look je pravi primer...
