CRAZY COAT LADY

Like I have told you before I am obsessed with long coats, so it shouldn't come to any surprise that I just bought a new one.

What I love about a coat is that you could be wearing pyjamas and throw on a coat and automatically have an acceptable outfit. I only have dark coloured coats so I thought it was time to bring in a summer colour (kind of).

WHAT.A.BEAUTY.

Icelandic.

Eins og ég hef sagt ykkur áður þá er ég rosalegur sökker þegar það kemur að síðum kápum þannig það ætti ekki að koma á óvart að ég hafi endað á því að kaupa eina í viðbót.

Það sem ég elska við kápur er það að þú gætir verið á náttfötunum, skellt yfir þig kápu og sjálfkrafa verið komin með fullkomið outfit. Ég á bara dökkar kápur svo mér fannst kominn tími til að bæta við einni í sumarlegum lit (nokkurskonar).

CRUSHING ON INTERIOR

The best thing to do to get your head turning and ideas rolling is to change the things in your room. When I go to sleep after changing the things around me I always feel so peaceful and happy about the result of my ideas. Therefore I am constantly looking for new ways to change my room or new ways to use old things. For example, last year I painted most of the furniture in my room white and it made a lot of difference and made all the other things stand out.

 

Big plants in a bohem space are beautiful. I am really longing for a plant in my room, brings it to life.

 
  

The clothing rack is a great and easy idea, just some pipes and screws and voila!
  
  

White floors and black and white pictures are a must in my future home.

  
An all white room with an elegant gold light that makes the room.

  
  
  

  
This black fur blanket will be in my dreams until I will actually have it.

SAYING GOODBYE TO 2015

 I had a really good time in 2015.

I turned 19,

Went to Boston with my mom and my sister and had a great time enjoying each others company .

Went to Reykjavik Fashion Festival N°6 and saw designs from couple of Icelands greatest designers.

Saw Mø, Kelis, Gusgus and many others at Secret Solstice festival.

Went to to London with 2 amazing friends ,for a week, mainly to go to the Wireless festival in Finsbury Park where I saw Drake, David Guetta, Kendrick Lamar, Avicci and many others.

Celebrated my sister turning 30!

Saw a lot of great artists at Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavik, for example Sophie and QT.

So as you can see I really enjoy going to music festivals and hearing music from new artists, I don't think theres anything more fun than going to a good concert with good company and enjoying life together. Thank god I have amazing friends and family to enjoy all of this with.

PICTURES THAT MADE 2015

I want to thank everyone for this great year and tell you that I could not be more excited about the next one.

Like I told you in my last post, I got my head filled with ideas and can't wait to bring them to life. I have been drawing a lot of my designs lately and have begun buying fabrics and sowing so after some time I will begin posting them and ,in the mean time, I hope you'll enjoy the blog!

THINKING DIFFERENT

I always turn my head when I see someone trying something different when it comes to clothes or accessories. It takes guts when it comes to changing fashion and that's not something everybody is willing to do.

If you have a plain or basic outfit try making it different with a bold jacket or eye catching accessories.

Something that is basic in fashion now was once something that people gasped about.

The hair rings were a new trend in 2015 and I'm hoping they will continue into 2016. Also, lace bras I can promise you will keep on going this year.

I bought couple (not to many though!) of long white t-shirts in the past few months and they are a must have. Shirts that go over my back side are my favourites and if you are a girl and do not have that same opinion than GO YOU!

Again with the long white t-shirt, goes with anything, and the bold jacket. The statement on the back of the jacket gives the outfit a different look and also a good bomber jacket is something that everyone should own at least one of.

The sneaker trend was big in 2015 but I'm seeing a lot of black thick heeled shoes going around now. Also Dr.Martens are coming back and I am dreaming of a pair of black leather Dr.Martens shoes (hint: my birthday is in 21 days).

Yes, plain but different outfits are the best outfits. Try a edgy colour with statement jewelry or shoes, and besides, a good pair of ripped high MOM jeans can't fail.

PACKING UP CHRISTMAS

Hi, hello, hello!

So I'm back you guys! Had a great time over the holidays with family and friends and I'm totally ready to take on 2016. I have a good feeling for this one. Turning 20 in 23 days and my mind is filled with ideas.

On new years I desided to go simple but have somewhat bold accessories.

The shoes I ordered from ASOS end they are aaaamazing. I know you are not supposed to say that you love shoes but when it comes to these ones I do, I really do.

ASOS PABLO Platforms

Then it came to the end of Christmas, the 6th of December, and on that day my grandparents host a big party for my whole family so that is a great occasion to dress up.

So this outfit is mostly made out of items I found on sale. The pants I found in a vintage shop and the kimono is from ZARA.

SEE YA

OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Like I told you the other day I enjoy putting together outfits with the things I see on the internet, or I'm trying to convince myself to buy, and lately that has almost been my part time job. It's also a good idea to put together outfits with clothes you already own so you find out endless possibilities. It's starting to get colder in Iceland and I can officially say that summer is over and because of that most of my combinations these days are combined with coats and sweaters.

The gray coat is absolutely beautiful! It also comes in baby blue and is the kind of outwear that goes with everything.

Like you've probably noticed by now is that I am a huge fan of Zara and therefore I wanted to dedicate one of the combinations to Zara. The white furry west is on the top of my wish list and will be until it appears in my closet.

Did you also think of Clueless when you saw the scarf????? I have this one, it's great for winter and oh boy how great it would look if I had a jacket and skirt with the same pattern!

SHOE DREAMING

No matter where I look these days I see a new pair of shoes everywhere that would look perfect on my shelf. Thankfully, some of them are online on a site that does not send to Iceland.

Thick bottom black shoes (or just black shoes) are still calling out for me. Especially the ones that would be great for winter and look perfect with whatever outfit you put together. I gathered a couple of the ones I would not mind having, so I can at least look at them here, although they will not be coming home with me.. well not all of them

The ones in  the top right corner are to die for! Fingers crossed that they will come to Iceland, other wise - if you see them somewhere.... I'm a size 40.

Last christmas I got a pair with a bottom like the ones on the right but they do not come so high up and I really like that about these ones, I would like them better without the Vagabond logo but it's ok.

A pair of sneakers are always a classic longing but the Nike Huarache (the ones to the right) have been on my mind since I saw them in London about two months ago.

Right now I am sitting at a coffee house trying to make the most of the time in-between classes, reading i-D and IN to find new ideas. It's really obvious  what is trending now and what we will be seeing a lot of in the next months, but I'll write about that later today.

  

Enjoy the day.
