Foodie friday: Comfort food

Now that fall is here, I feel myself being increasingly drawn to comfort food. With the dropping temperatures there are few things I  can think of that I love more than being cosy and warm inside with good food and of course, good friends. Here are some of my favorite comfort foods to get me through the season: 

Ice cream

I love Ben and Jerry´s and Haagen Dazs. Unfortunately they are extremely pricey here in Iceland, plus they are so dangerously good so they are saved for special occasions. My all time favorite ice cream though is a white Toblerone - rasberry ice cream which I try not to make too often....as much as I love food I  do want to fit into my clothes.  

  

French food 

 I really love french cooking, as well as the role food plays in the french day to day life. Food is very important and the french respect the integrity of their ingredients when cooking. Croissants, cheeses, pastries, patés.. if it´s french it´s bound to be delicious.

Pasta

Italians know their comfort food. There is something so incredibly comforting about a large bowl of pasta on a cold winter´s day. My ultimate comfort food

Hot Chocolate

Chocolate can make everything and anything better. Enough said!

Have a great weekend!

I Love....shoes

Now that fall is approaching us fast (the first weekend of august usually marks the end of summer in the minds of Icelanders), I have begun to dream about the perfect shoes to get me through the winter. Now the perfect shoes would preferably be sturdy enough for the icelandic winter weather, yet pretty enough to wear to the bar or to go out dancing (me in stilettos + icy streets = NOT a good combination) in the winter months.
Here are a couple of  lovely shoes  I´m lusting after for this winter, that fit my winter shoe needs.

Vagabond beauties, would definitely brighten up a dull  winter

I like boots that are a bit tough, like the Vagabond and the Dr. Martens above. Oh how I must own a pair of Dr. Martens.

I would consider selling my soul for these Alexander Wang boots, basically any Alexander Wang boots!

I seriously considered spending my life savings on these below :

I really think I might need another job....

lots of love
