weekend!

Yay it´s friday! The weekend is finally here! These past few weeks has been crazy busy at school, so even if I am working all weekend I am so glad to be able to sleep in, and have a relaxed, stress- free weekend. Here are a few things making my life more fun these days:

An excuse to bake more

 

really want this eiffel tower cookie jar from Urban Outfitters - maybe it will inspire me to bake more



 Black and white photography

 

Love these wonderful pictures taken by french photographer Robert Doisneu.

Caramel tea

Bought a box of caramel tea when I was visiting my grandparents last summer. I am completely hooked, and have even switched it out for my morning coffee.

 

 

 

Chocolate

 

Chocolate makes everything better! Hot chocolate, pralines, double chocolate ice cream.....

I really want to try a recipe for chocolate soufflés I found on the internet ( and that also gives me an excuse to buy the really cute ramekins)

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend everyone !

interior inspiration

Hey guys,

Hope you had a great weekend!

I missed my weekly music on a monday post yesterday  but I´m making it up today!

For the last couple of weeks I´ve been looking for ways to change my space (and how to decorate when I´m living on my own again). So I took to the blogs. Here are a few pics that inspire me when it comes to decorating the home.

How cool would it be to have this bathroom? You can even see Iceland in the upper left corner !

Picture via Belle Maison

Such a beautiful idea, and would fit perfectly in my dream kitchen.

 I grew up in a family where everyone reads a lot, so to me a house is not a home until you have a couple of book cases crammed with books. Besides I feel that I can get to know a lot about a person by the books they like to  read. This bookcase both looks wonderful  and  practical as you save space by having it built around the door.

Absolutely my dream bathroom, it looks so romantic.
When I look at this picture I instantly envision myself living in a loft apartment in Paris and this is my bathroom... If only


Have a great week guys

Oscar favourites

The Oscars Academy Awards  2012 were held last Sunday. Unfortunately I did not watch it, as I was at work. But here are some of the best dressed women of the Oscars this year, in my opinion  

Gwyneth Paltrow, a vision in a Tom Ford dress

Jessica Chastain in the most amazing
Alexander McQueen dress!

Penelope Cruz in Giorgio Armani

Judy Greer in Monique Lhullier

And here are a few of my favourites from the Vanity Fair after party

Diane Kruger 



Gorgeous Kate Bosworth in Prabal Gurung

My absolute favourites would have to be Gwyneth´s and Jessica´s fabulous dresses

Have a great day!

Music on a monday: Mumford and sons

Hey guys,
I have not been blogging as much as I would have wanted recently, but I have a perfectly good excuse. My laptop finally decided to give up on me, so until I get a new computer I hope you will be able to forgive my lack of posting.
I spent most of my weekend sick in bed, and working, which was fine ( except for the sick part). I am so excited, as it feels like spring is coming, went out for coffee sunday morning and you can feel the weather is getting warmer, which we Icelanders really deserve after this rough winter. Spring is in the air...finally.

Such a lovely song! 

Have a great week guys

Jewels

I love big chunky jewellery. Even though I usually dress quite ladylike, I like almost all jewellery that looks a bit different or slightly weird. Eyecatching jewellery. Things like body chains, hand harnesses, ear cuffs, big rings and flower headbands are quickly moving to the top of my most wanted list these days.

Dorothy Perkins body chain

I love this Topshop spike cross ring, just too scared I might poke someone´s eye out.

Topshop chain vest necklace
this would look so amazing with a black dress, like a rockstar outfit !!!



Topshop egyptian ring
For my inner hippy

Topshop pagan chain hair barette

I don´t think my hair is long enough for this amazing piece, but I still really really want it.



The weather yesterday started to look slightly like the beginnings of spring, sunny yet chilly which made me hopeful. This morning it had started snowing again. The weather here in Iceland is truly weird

Music on a monday:White nights

Hi guys
I had the most amazing weekend, and I hope you did too.
On Friday I had a French themed party with my friends, so much fun! We drank red wine and stuffed our faces with amazing cheeses, bread and chocolate cake. Then we headed downtown to dance the night away. Couldn´t have been better. This is gonna be a short week, which is nice. I have winter break at school at the end of the week, and it will be great to have some extra time on my hands to finish off schoolwork, and catch up with friends.



I really really love this song because it reminds me that the summer ist almost here again!!!

much love

-A
