Music on a Monday: Beautiful girls

Hi guys, 

This Monday song is from my playlist of relaxing songs. A playlist I listen to when it all becomes to much and I just need a moment to regroup. Music affects my mood and my feelings immensely and I have learnt to use that to my advantage.  I hope you enjoy this song as well. 

Happy Monday!

Weekend dressing

Hey guys, 

It really feels like spring is around the corner here in Iceland. The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and everything just seems brighter! I´ve put together this outfit with that in mind as this is to me the perfect spring outfit. The knit and knee high boots are perfect for  keeping out  the pre spring chill. I really love the print of the dress and the white coat tones perfectly with the white in the dress. Would love to wear this outfit for a weekend stroll or some coffee!

Have a great weekend!

Foodie Friday: 5 favorite foodie spots in Reykjavík

Hey guys, 

This Foodie Friday I will share with you my favorite foodie spots in Reykjavík: 

1. Vínberið 

This the only chocolate shop in Reykjavík selling chocolates and candy from all over the world. This charming little shop has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. Across the street is the Sandholt bakery, which is also one of my favorites. It is a family owned bakery with wonderful breads, cakes and handmade chocolates. 

2. Frú Lauga 

A kind of a farmer´s market in Reykjavík. They sell local produce  and regularly they import Italian blood oranges among other fruit and greens.

3. Piccolo Italia

 The best Italian restaurant in Reykjavík! A great lunch spot and I am a frequent visitor there. Wonderful food with honest ingredients. The flavors take you all the way to Italy in one bite.  

4. Litli bóndabærinn

Wonderful little organic cafe and the staff are always so warm and nice. One of the best places for coffee in Reykjavík. They also serve up some amazing British pies. 

5. Búrið - Fromagerie 

This one is a little way outside the city center but sooo worth it. Cheese shop, with a wide variety of both local and imported cheeses. You will also find organic honey, organic Icelandic ice cream and Italian salami among other things. 

Have a great weekend!

Happniess

Hi guys,

 I wanted to share this quote with you because for me these words ring true. It is so important to find the beauty in ordinary things, everyday life can be very dull. Therefore it is important to ones happiness to take joy from small things.

Oscars 2013

Hi guys, 

Watching the Oscars is probably one of my favorite television events of the year. Last year I put together a list of my favorite dresses from the Oscars ceremony and I thought it would be fun to do it again this year!

I really loved Anne Hathaway´s beautiful  Prada dress. The back detail is so beautiful. Anne herself described the dress as "Business in the front, party in the back"

Anne´s costar, the wonderful Amanda Seyfried looked amazing as well in her Alexander McQueen dress. 

One of the highlights of the evening for me was 

Jennifer Aniston´s dream of a red dress. So beautiful. 

Nicole Kidman also looked amazing in her sequin dress

I really loved Salma Hayek´s beautiful dress....

... but Amy Adams dreamy gown was definitely one of my favorites. Such a romantic dress. 

And last but not least was Olivia Munn´s beautiful red dress. The gold embroidery makes it look very theatrical.

The absolute highlight for me was when the cast of Les Misérables got on stage to sing ( I am a huge Les Mis fan). How amazing do Anne and Amanda look in their dresses?

Have a great day!
