Next sunday will be moving day. I will be moving into the most amazing apartment in the center of Reykjavík with two of my best friends.  I am soo exited and already fantasizing about how to decorate and all the things I want to do when we move in. Here are some things on my apartment wish/inspiration list

- some cool posters

I would really love to have different sizes of  framed posters standing on the floor, up against the wall. I´ve seen that several times on interior design blogs and think it looks super cool. 

-A floor length mirror

I´m only half a person without a full length mirror ( Do I get bonus point for my little joke?). I  Wouldn´t mind having that chandelier either. 

- Some cool pots

I´ve started growing my own fresh basil in the windowsill of our kitchen, which is going pretty well if you take into account that I have managed to kill every single plant I have had in my 22 years. I really want to find some beautiful pots to keep the plant in and for the other ones, if I decide to try growing other kinds of herbs ( I´m thinking rosemary and mint perhaps) 

-My dream kitchen table/worktop

I have to find a kitchen/ dining room table like this. I really like the rustic feel of a thick, worn wood table. Something that would never require any covering up. Something with personality.

Beautiful, clean and minimalistic bedroom. I love it!

Movie night: Chanel

I stumbled upon Coco avant Chanel  on television late  the other night while trying to decide what to watch. What a masterpiece! I am now completely obsessed with Coco and everything Chanel. In the film Coco Chanel is portrayed by the very talented, Audrey Tatou. Audrey is  french and she has starred in some of my favourite films like Un long dimanche de fiancailles (A very long engagement) and Amélie. I really like her in this movie as she does a wonderful job of capturing the character and shedding some light on the life of the mysterious lady who changed the way women all over the world dress themselves.

Hey!
I´m still alive!!
I´ve been a little uninspired for the past couple of weeks.That´s all about to get better, now that summer is finally here. it feels like everything is finally coming to life again. The weather has been wonderful here in Iceland and people are generally happier and more positive. I have some exciting plans for the blog this summer that I hope to be able to see through. But for now you should meet my newest "baby". This wonderfully quirky book clutch from Asos is on it´s way into my arms.

Reminds me of the Catcher in the Rye book clutch Michelle Williams carried at the Independent Spirit Awards. This outfit looks amazing on her.
