HWYW | African Printz

H/M
Hey ladies, it's been a while but I'm back. I've been sorting out a few things and so far it's been a heck of a busy month for me. But I'm keeping myself positive and just overall appreciating the tough times and taking them in as a lesson. I will share with you what's been going on once I'm settled and actually have the time to sit down and write away, for now here's an outfit for this month's 'How Would You Wear' challenge. Our theme is African Print and seeing as this dashiki piece's the only thing in my wardrobe I just have to show it again. This time I paired it with my vintage Levis shorts and a pair of chucks.

Happy new week loves. Today's my last day off work and starting tomorrow I'm going in for 5 days straight and to be honest with you, I'm actually looking forward to it. I've been off for five days and I was starting to get bored so I tried to visit some friends and also did a bit of decorating at home. I wore this outfit on Sunday for a stroll at the mall only to end up eating and drinking my favourite Christmas coffee and leaving...

"... Secret Solstice is the only festival where you can party at a time when the sun doesn't set for three entire days."



Happy July loves. It's strange to think that we're already in the 7th month of the year 2015. So far my year has been really good, I've been keeping the positive vibes going and all in all I feel great. I feel like I have grown as an individual and looking forward to the coming months. The weekend of 19th - 21st June was the Secret Solstice Midnight Music Festival and I attended all the 3 days seeing as it was the first time I was attending, and because of that you know I had to go all out with my OOTD's and make up; or at least I tried. I'm already planning next year's outfits, that's how much I enjoyed myself. If you're curious about how day 1 went then

Hope everyone's well. I spent the past week mostly at home sick, eating a lot and exercising very little and watching a lot of documentaries; especially VICE and National Geography ones. I like learning even though I'm on summer break but this is a more fun way to do it and I'm all for that.
Lately there hasn't been much time nor inspiration for outfit picture taking and all that comes with it so for today's post you guys get to see some of my favourite outfits from the past couple of months. It's no surprise that this goddamn Vero Moda/Only leather jacket is in almost all of the outfit pics, but I cannot help my love for it. Goes with EVERYTHING plus it's a great item to add warmth for our unpredictable weather. Today I'm free from work so I should be seeing some friends and I plan on dressing up just because I can.

Happy Sunday guys. As I've mentioned before the weather here isn't very summer-like. It rains, then the sun comes out for only about 1-2 hours WHEN I'm working and then disappears again and it's back to rain and gloomy skies. The next day this routine repeats itself and it's very frustrating, all I ask for is a bit of sun to take some summer appropriate outfits.
Anyway the other day I went ahead and set my tripod and camera ready, put on a somewhat of a summery outfit and shot some pictures indoors just to give you guys a break from the heavy coats and whatnot. Loved the results and I'll definitely be doing more of this, and as soon as I finish taking the photos I go straight back into my comfy PJ's.

Finally after a very long wait and many phone calls my computer's back. Man life was really hard without it, I feel like I sort of missed out on the social net even though I had another computer that I was using; it's just that it's not the same as using my own. Anyway these photos were supposed to be posted a loooong time ago but they are here now. It was all about comfort and not stacking on too many things :) My week will be spent working seeing as that's what I do these days. Have a good one!xx

Another outfit featuring my favourite and probably the most expensive piece as well, this leather jacket is making yet one more appearance on the blog. I'm unlike many bloggers that only wear many of their clothes only once, well I'm not so rich to be able to do that so being repetitive is the only way to go :). So when I find something I love I will wear it as much as possible although I also will be careful so it doesn't get spoiled or something. This jacket's been my favourite for very long now and I don't regret buying at all. It's a great staple and it's different from the usual black leather jackets. I loved wearing this outfit and it felt very 'me' like and on top of that it was very comfortable for a day out with friends.
I wish you all a great rest of the week and to those that have exams coming up like myself, good luck and stay hydrated!

Outfit | Earth Toned Colours

H/M
Striped tee, Cardigan - H&M | Shorts - Nostalgía | Earrings - Six | Sneakers - Deichmann

Wore this outfit on  Monday for school. Wanted something that was comfy with some high waist shorts + sneakers and this was my result. I was feeling it although having the sleeves of the stripped tee showing through kind of bothered me a little bit. I tend to neglect some of my clothes but this time on I'm opting to wearing abandoned clothing pieces more often just so I get use out of everything I have because trust me, there are a lot of clothes behind my closet that need some love.

Till next time.x

Outfit | Inspired by Miley

Crop top - New Yorker | Shorts - Nostalgía | Wedges - Amsterdam

Good morning loves, today I'm coming to you with a look that I had worn last Saturday to celebrate a friend's birthday. I headed straight to the party after work, switched out the tights for bare legs and the vans that I had worn to work with these uber comfortable wedges. For work I had on a jumper and I switched that one out for a crop top. My goal was to feel free and just do me so I decided to try the pig tail buns to make the look more unique. I was ready in 5 minutes and I had a great time with my girls.
This look was inspired by Miley Cyrus, do you like it?

Italian Getaway | Dinner at Sunset

don't mind my messy hair, i'd just stepped out of the shower.
Earrings, Neon bag, shirt - H&M | Shorts - Nostalgía | Sandals - New Yorker | Watch - Casio


Having been to Italy before, that time I was in Florence and my parents and I always used to go out for dinner each night and everything seemed in the norm. But then this time around while in Sicily, we were always the first people to show up at restaurants because people there eat their dinner around 11pm which was very surprising. Anyway wore this outfit after a long fay at the beach. I wouldn't call it dressy but it's somewhat not to casual either; although you could easily transform it to a dressy by adding a cute pair of wedges.
There aren't too many outfits from my trip as I lived in my bikini pretty much most of the time and also it was just too hot for blog-worthy clothes thus there won't be anymore outfit posts from the  trip. But I've got loads of photographs of churches and you name it so those you should expect to see in the next few weeks.

Outfit | "Nostalgia's for geeks" - Lady Gaga



The title of this post are lyrics from Lady Gaga's new single "Applause". I'm obsessed with the song and it's on constant repeat.
Hi, it's been a long time ehh?
This summer's coming to an end and it's by far been one of my favourites. I was blessed to get to travel to France (Nimes) and Italy (Milan and Sicily) which was a blast. I spent one week in France and two weeks in Italy where I ended up with a not-so-fun rash all over my body and it itched like crazy so I ended up going to the emergency room and getting 3 shots in the butt cheek... haven't had one of these in a long time so I winced a little.
My summer has been great and I am very thankful for having being able to visit these two totally different places and learning about the culture. More about my Italy trip will be up on the blog probably early September or so.
This outfit is from a while ago before I even went to Italy but hadn't had time to post it thus why I'm doing that now. My parents invited me for lunch at Gylltikötturinn which is a restaurant in the city. The food was so good and I'll definitely be going there again soon. Afterwards my parents went for happy hour at Slippbarinn which is located right by the Reykjavík vity Harbour and so I tagged along and ended up ordering two very tasty non-alcoholic mojitos. I will also be going there soon.

Hopefully you guys enjoyed this post, I know I've been slacking A LOT this month but promise to step up my game once I get everything settled with school as I'm wrestling with so many difficult subjects this semester.
See you in my next post!

My good friend of mine Agnes moved to Norway the past week and I will miss her dearly, I've known this amazing girl for about 4 years now and I'm very thankful to have met such a wonderful person who will always be part of my life. The week before she left we met up for Ice-Cream and stroll down the shopping street; Laugarvegur. Our evening was filled with a lot of laughter and chit-chat. At the end of the evening we decided to head down to the only beach that actually does look and feel like one; Nauthólsvík. Quite a lot of people have been visiting the place as of late June because that's when the weather's been showing some love. It was quite windy and so there were many not-so-perfect pictures.
I've really enjoyed my times with her and I will miss her very much.


Hope everyone's having a great week, I'm currently in Milan and will be later travelling to Sicily where I will spend the rest of my summer holidays and then it'll be back to reality and straight to school.
ciao!

Away With Me | On top of the World

Day 5

Tank top - New Yorker | Bandeau - New Yorker | Shorts - Nostalgía | Bag - Zara | Shoes - Vans

Here's the final outfit post from my one week trip to Nîmes.
I decided to wear my high waist shorts again for the second day in a row which I know is a fashion no-no but oh well, I like the shorts and wanted to get some use out of them. I felt so good wearing these like you guys don't even know lol. I felt like the main bad bitch. 
That day we toured the Arena of Nîmes which was incredible, I had been in the arena itself earlier for a concert but this time we got to see every little aspect of it, we went down these mysterious hall ways and luckily it was very sunny so it wasn't too creepy. At last we went to the very top of the building which was quite frightening as I suffer from Acrophobia but still it was a lot of fun being up there and looking over the ruins of the city. I'm telling ya it felt as if I was on top of the world. After the tour we had dinner at a nice restaurant right in front of the arena called Brasserie Des Arenes where I somehow ended up ordering raw mince beef topped with a raw egg... I have no idea how I ended up with raw food considering that the menu was in French and English. Maybe the many glasses of wine I enjoyed in the sun before were playing me.

This was the first time I was visiting France and I'm very happy with everything, I enjoyed myself and so did the boo and we most definitely would like to visit again, but of course another place. I hope everyone liked the outfit posts; though by the feedback from the previous posts I'm thinking you all did enjoy these.

Till next time.
