During this year it became more clear to me which style I'm gravitating toward when it comes to the home decor. I'm pretty "complex" and
creative person with lots of ideas, and it truly helps me when I have (as much as
possible) simpler and tidier space around me so I could work and
create. Because with that "mess" in my head, having another "mess" outside
makes me even more confused (with accumulated stuff in the house, I have a
feeling that one day something will fall on my head). I
love open spaces, lots of white, more masculine furniture lines, not so many ornaments, chic feminine details, something
like a "modern glamour"... Maybe it's a little hard
to understand, so take a look at my Pinterest
"Dream Home Decor" board.
For example, one of the brands that completely fits my decor style is OLIVER GAL. The brand was founded by two sisters (artists from Florida) that create modern art pieces, mostly on canvas. I really don't know which would be my first choice- fashion themes such as Prada and Chanel, the world map, the golden lips, more abstract themes that resemble marble... So many options, and the assumption is that you have only one home!:)

Tokom ove godine postalo mi je mnogo jasnije ka kom stilu gravitiram kada je dekoracije kuce u pitanju. Ja sam prilicno "kompleksna" i kreativna osoba sa mnostvom ideja, i pomaze mi da oko sebe imam sto je moguce jednostavniji i uredjeniji prostor kako bih mogla da funkcionisem i da stvaram. Jer sa tom "gomilom" u glavi, "gomila" spolja me cini konfuznom (sa nagomilanim stvarima u kuci, imam osecaj da ce mi nesto pasti na glavu jedan dan). Volim otvorene prostore, dosta belog, vise muske linije sto se tice namestaja, ne toliko kitnjastog i ornamenata, sik zenstvene detalje, nesto kao "moderni glamur"... Mozda je malo tesko da razumete, pa ce vam biti jasnije ako bacite pogled na moju Pinterest "Dream Home Decor" inspiraciju.
Evo na primer jedan od brendova koji je bas po mom ukusu je OLIVER GAL. Brend su osnovale dve sestre (umetnice iz Floride) koje stvaraju moderna umetnicka dela, vecinom na kanvasu. Ja recimo ne znam za sta bih se prvo odlucila- za modne teme kao sto su Prada i Chanel, za mapu sveta, za zlatne usne, za abstraktnije teme koje podsecaju na mermer... Opcija je hiljadu, a pretpostavka je da imate jedan dom/kucu/stan!:)

Post a Comment
Our "72h in Italy trip" began with the visit to Venice, the "Queen of the Mediterranean" as they call it. From all the excursions we had planned during these three days, this is the one I was eagerly waiting for.
The day started early. Around 7am we arrived at the port of Punta Sabioni, and after 45min our little boat came. If I remember correctly at 8:30 we stepped on the soil of Venice...
Nas "72h casa u Italiji" put je zapoceo posetom Veneciji, iliti "kraljici Mediterana" kako je neki nazivaju. Od svih izleta koje smo planirali tokom ova tri dana, ovaj sam sa nestrpljenjem iscekivala.
Dan je poceo rano. Vec oko 7h smo stigli u luku Punta Sabioni odakle smo se nakon 45min ukrcali na brodic. Ako se dobro secam vec oko 8:30 smo zagazili na tlo Venecije...
Our morning started here, at the dock. From there we went for a walk and after some hundred meters ran into the first canal. Venice has 177 canals, dividing the whole city into 118 different islands.
Nase jutro je zapocelo ovde, na doku. Odatle smo krenuli u setnju i vec nakon nekih sto metara naisli na prvi kanal. Venecija ima 177 kanala, koji dele citav grad na 118 razlicitih ostrva.
The first well-known building we saw was The Doge's Palace (In Italian- Palazzo Ducale) which is now a museum. Built in the Gothic style, it was the residence of the former Dukes of the Venetian Republic, the so-called Doges. One part of it was once a prison which famous Casanova
escaped from during a masquerade ball (this information I remembered with ease, lol).
Prva poznata gradjevina na koju smo naisli je Duzdeva palata (na italijanskom Palazzo Ducale) koja je danas muzej. Izgradjena u gotickom stilu, sluzila je kao rezidencija vojvoda nekadasnje Mletacke republike, takozvanih duzdeva. Nekada je u njenom delu bio i zatvor iz kojeg je i cuveni Kazanova pobegao tokom jednog od brojnih maskenbala (inace informacija koju sam najlakse zapamtila, haha).
Just around the corner of Doge's Palace begins the prettiest part of Venice- St. Mark Square (Piazza San Marco). Grandiose,
spacious, filled with beautiful buildings and decorations, and
unbearably crowded with tourists during most of the day and year. Well luckily enough,
we've had the chance to visit Venice in the early morning hours, to feel
the true charm and absorb the beauty that is inevitably lost when
you're surrounded by hundreds of people. Because then you have to focus on your wallets and purses, and not on the beauty around you. Speaking of that, "pickpockets" have developed the perfect business on the territory of Venice. At least five times during the day I heard that someone was robbed...
Odmah iza coska Duzdeve palate zapocinje najlepsi deo Venecije- Trg Svetog Marka (Piazza San Marco). Grandiozan, prostran, ispunjen predivnim gradjevinama i dekoracijama, i nesnosno krcat turistima tokom vecine dana i godine. E pa mi smo imali tu srecu da posetimo Veneciju u ranim jutarnjim casovima, da osetimo pravu draz i upijemo tu lepotu koja se neizostavno gubi kada ste okruzeni stotinama ljudi. Zato sto onda morate da se fokusirate na vase tasne i novcanike, a ne na lepotu oko vas. Inace "dzeparosi" su razvili savrsen biznis na teritoriji Venecije. Najmanje pet puta sam tokom dana cula da je neko pokraden...
Across Doge's palace is The National Library Marciana (Biblioteca Marciana). In
front of this Renaissance building there are some cafes where you can
sit and drink an espresso while soaking up the sun and enjoying the view. Of course this view you will generously pay...
Nasuprot Duzdevoj palati se nalazi Nacionalna biblioteka Marciana (Biblioteca Marciana). Ispred ove renesansne gradjevine se nalazi par kafica, gde mozete sesti i popiti espreso dok upijate sunce i uzivate u pogledu. Naravno ovaj pogled cete poprilicno platiti...
And then we reached the building that took my breath away with its magnificent look- St Mark's Basilica (Basilica San Marco). Venetian
cathedral and the city's biggest church, built in the Byzantine style,
whose facade is decorated with beautiful decorative frescoes. The
upper part is extremely ornate, and what you notice first are four
replicas of ancient horses (horses of St. Mark) and indispensable golden winged lion.
E onda smo stigli do gradjevine koja mi je oduzela dah svojom velicanstvenom pojavom- Bazilika Svetog Marka (Basilica San Marco). Venecijanska katedrala i najveca gradska crkva, sagradjena u vizantinskom stilu, cija je fasada ukrasena lepim dekorativnim freskama. U gornjem delu je izuzetno kitnjasta, a ono sto prvo primetite su replike cetiri anticka konja (konji Svetog Marka) i neizostavni krilati zlatni lav.
Opposite of the Basilica of St. Mark (and right next to the National
library) is its bell tower called Campanile San Marco. The bell tower, due to its height of some 98m became one of the symbols of Venice.
Nasuprot Bazilike Svetog Marka (i odmah pored Nacionalne bibilioteke) se nalazi njen zvonik nazvan Campanila San Marco. Ovaj zvonik je zahvaljujuci svojoj visini od nekih 98m postao jedan od simbola Venecije.
What I found interesting is that you could see everywhere the winged lion "holding" the book. I found out that this book is not always open. Specifically when it's open it means the rise of the Venetian Republic, and by the logic closed book symbolizes the fall.
Ono sto je meni bilo zanimljivo je to sto ste svuda mogli videti krilatog lava kako "drzi" knjigu. Saznala sam da ova knjiga nije svuda otvorena. Naime kada je otvorena ona oznacava uspon Mletacke republike, dok zatvorena po logici simbolise pad.
On the other end of St. Mark Square is Procuratie Vecchie consisting of three connected buildings. There is also the Astronomical Clock, which is called the Clock of St. Mark. This is one of the first astronomical clocks that are built on European soil.
Na drugom kraju Trga Svetog Marka je Procuratie Vecchie
koja se sastoji od tri povezane zgrade. Tu je i Astronomski sat, koji
zovu i Sat
Svetog Marka. Ovo je jedan od prvih astronomskih satova koji se
podignuti na tlu Evrope.
And
when we were done with all the main attractions of Venice located on St. Mark's
Square, we found ourselves in the mysteriously attractive streets intersected by the canals, filled with gondolas and cheerful gondoliers. Since the gondola is perfect for romantic moments and couples, I decided to get lost in these streets that are full of shops. And
after about an hour I reached the bridge Ponte di Rialto, but it was already the noon, so that's a story for
another post...;)
I kada smo zavrsili sa svim glavnim znamenitostima Venecije na Trgu Svetog Marka, zasli smo u misteriozno privlacne ulicice ispresecane kanalima koji su nacickani gondolama i veselim gondolijerima. S obzirom da su gondole savrsene za romanticne trenutke i parove, ja odlucih da se izgubim u ovim ulicicama koje su pune radnjica. I nakon nekih sat vremena stigoh do mosta "Ponte di Rialto", ali vec je bilo podne, pa je to prica za drugi post...;)
A few days ago, I finally sat down and decided to edit vacation outfit photos. Then I started to feel uncomfortable, couldn't decide about the level of brightness and contrast. Then the voices in my head started: "You should remove silicon straps, they look so ugly!", "Remove those nasty sun spots, you look like a leopard!". I started to feel dizzy and went to do something else. Suddenly it clicked: I wasn't thinking with my own head, these voices weren't my truth. I was thinking first what the others would like, how the others are doing certain things...
Pre par dana sam konacno sela i odlucila da sredim outfit slike sa odmora. Onda sam pocela da se osecam nelagodno, nisam mogla da odlucim o nivou svetlosti i kontrasta. Onda su glasovi u glavi poceli: "Trebalo bi da uklonis silikonske bretele, zaista je ruzno!", "Ukloni ove neprivlacne fleke od sunca, izgledas kao leopard!". Pocelo je da mi se vrti u glavi te sam otisla da radim nesto drugo. I odjednom mi je sinulo: nisam razmisljala svojom glavom, ovi glasovi nisu bili moja istina. Razmisljala sam sta bi se prvo drugima svidelo, kako drugi rade odredjene stvari...
Social media pressure, trying and attempting to be "perfect". For who and why? There is
no such thing as perfection, as we all have different perceptions. What
is "perfect" for me might not be perfect for you. If you try to create
something by thinking what the others would like, you will never ever
create anything. And I get it- it's a safe mode, not risking to create or do
something, because it's better not to do anything at all than to do something "less than
perfect". But you know what? We're only humans after all, not photo-shopped robots!
Pritisak socijalnih medija i mreza, pokusaj da budete "savrseni". Za koga i zasto? Ne postoji takva stvar kao savrsenstvo, jednostavno zato sto svi imamo razlicite percepcije. Sta je "savrseno'" za mene mozda nije i za vas licno. Ako pokusate da stvorite nesto razmisljajuci sta bi se drugima svidelo, nikada nista necete stvoriti. I razumem- to je bezbedan nacin, ne rizikovati da kreirate ili uradite nesto, zato sto je bolje ne uraditi nista nego uraditi "manje od savrsenog"! Ali znate sta? Na kraju svega svi smo mi samo ljudska bica, a ne fotosopovani roboti...
You
know what I did? I left the photos the way I liked them: just enough
brightness and contrast, with my silicon straps and sun spots... And not
only that, I edited absolutely all outfit photos during the same hour!
Just to beat the demons in my head. 'Cause this kind of thinking always results in procrastination. You'll find
hundreds of excuses not to do things that might matter to you. Because, just
like I said before, it's much safer not to expose yourself out there, the ocean is full of sharks, they will eat you!
Jel' znate sta sam uradila? Ostavila sam slike kakve mi se svidjaju: sa sasvim dovoljno svetlosti i kontrasta, sa silikonskim bretelama i flekama od sunca... I ne samo to, sredila sam kompletno sve outfit slike sa odmora tokom istog sata! Samo da pobedim demone u glavi. Zato sto ovakav nacin razmisljanja uvek rezultira odlaganjem necega. Nacicete stotinu razloga samo da ne biste uradili nesto sto vam je mozda zaista bitno. Zato sto je, kao sto sam vec rekla, bezbednije ne izloziti se uopste, okean je pun ajkula, pojesce vas!
And at the end let's
address these "voices". Yes I have a skin issue,
for quite some time. I went to a dermatologist and I'm taking therapy
now. Yes I was wearing silicon straps because I forgot strapless bra at
home (it was a holiday, I was allowed to forget things). That's the
whole truth... I am not a perfect woman, never was and never will be. I
never tried to "sell" myself as that. I have good sides and I have
flaws. The only thing that I can do is to strive to become the best version of myself. Only like that I can add some value...
I na kraju, hajde da se osvrnemo na "glasove". Da, imam odredjeno kozno oboljenje, vec neko vreme. Otisla sam kod dermatologa, i vec mesec dana sam pod terapijom. Da, nosila sam silikonske bretele zato sto sam zaboravila brushalter bez bretela kuci (odmor je u pitanju, tako da mi je dozvoljeno da zaboravim stvari). To je cela istina... Nisam savrsena zena, nikada nisam bila i nikada necu biti. Nikada nisam ni pokusala da "prodam" sebe kao takvu. Imam dobre strane i imam mane. Jedina stvar koju mogu da uradim jeste da postanem najbolja verzija same sebe. Jedino tako mogu dodati vrednost...

The best thing about being on a holiday in the off-season? You're gonna have so many things only for yourself (ok sometimes you'll need to wake up earlier, lol)!;) Take my example: we had this pool only for ourselves for more than one hour, before other people started to come. Pure magic! The same pool that was overcrowded during the summer season! And it's a super trendy spot in Ios, as "EREGO beach club & restaurant" was opened this summer, and everybody told us we must go there! So we went, we "conquered" and we came back to our hotel! Mission accomplished, everybody satisfied!
Najbolja stvar kada ste na odmoru u van-sezoni? Imacete toliko stvari na raspolaganju samo za vas (ok to ponekad ukljucuje i rano budjenje, haha)!;) Evo vam moj primer: imali smo ovaj bazen samo za nas vise od sat vremena, pre nego sto su drugi poceli da dolaze. Cista magija! Isti bazen koji je bio svakodnevno krcat tokom glavne sezone. Zato sto je "EREGO beach club & restaurant" otvoren ovog leta, te je brzo postao trendi lokacija na Ios ostrvu i svi su nam rekli da mooooramo otici. Otisli smo, "osvojili" mesto i vratili se u nas hotel. Misija uspesno obavljena, svi zadovoljni!
"EREGO beach club & restaurant" has its own beach. With imported palms. Looking really cool. I love their white beach beds. They asked us to pay 30 euros for 2 persons plus drinks. You couldn't swim because it was super windy at Koumbara beach. So we would pay for the view. A bit too much for the off-season, if you ask me. We went back to the pool. Such an easy decision, right?;)
"EREGO beach club & restaurant" ima svoju plazu. Sa uvezenim palmama. Stvarno cool izgleda. Svidele su mi se njihove bele lezaljke. Trazili su nam 30 evra za 2 osobe plus pice. Niste mogli da plivate tog dana jer je bilo zaista vetrovito na Koumbara plazi. Tako da bismo platili pogled. Malo previse za vansezonu po mom misljenju. Otisli smo nazad do bazena. Laka odluka, zar ne?;)
