An ode to Icelandic summer

In July I spent a week at a family house in Olafsfjordur in Iceland. The weather sucked the whole time (except for the day we left, that was the sunniest day we got..) but we had a splendid time. 

This is my ode to Icelandic summer:

On the road

Zoomed selfie

Midnight snack

This cottage belongs to my great-grandparents, the stuff
I found there was so random and weird (but still crazy cool).

I spent a lot of time knitting over there

"One Latte to-go" is a sentence I've said to much this summer.

Akureyri

Cute little bumblebee

Expressing myself the only way I know how.

The marina in Akureyri

We found this super cool place by the ocean where we took
 loads of photos

The view from our kitchen window

I come here every year yet it never dissapoints 

The view from the bathroom window

Of course we had to leave as soon as the sun showed itself.

Our last night was kind of sad, who wants to leave a place
like this?

School outfits!

Since August has knocked on our doors I've decided to choose three outfits I'll be wearing this school year. I graduated high school this spring so I'm starting a new semester in a completely different environment. The excitement/anxiety is killing me. It comforts me to think that even though i'll be surrounded by new people and new classes my clothes will always stay the same. 

Maybe my nerves are getting a little crazy, I can't seem to go through one day without that huge knot in my stomach. When I feel nervous (aka all the time) I like to open up my closet and remind myself of who I am. I doubt many of you know what I'm talking about, I doubt any of you do, but if there is one person that cares as much about her/his clothes as I do then I want to say: I feel you. 

Wow, what a heartwarming blog post this has been. I better go and fetch the pack of tissues. 

And now to the main part. My top three school outfits:

Best thrift shop find ever:

This dress is as comfortable as it is gorgeous. It is the perfect first-day-of-school outfit and if I could I would wear it every day.

Fancy playsuit thingy:

Playsuit by Miss Dorby

This is perfect if you want to be a classy yet I-just-jumped-out-of-the-movie-clueless lady. It is a perfect piece to throw on and I know it will look wonderful with the black winter coat I haven't bought yet. 

Comfy, classy and effortless:

Sweater thingy by American Apparel
Pants by Nr. 1

Want to feel super comfortable/effortless and still look fab? Just find yourself a pair of "fancypants" as I like to call them. Oh, I would wear them everyday if I could. They are the loves of my life.

Topshop and Vagabond Haul!

July is always a bad time for my wallet but a great time for my wardrobe. It's the month of sales here in Iceland and you can't turn on the radio without someone telling you so. I had made a pointless promise to myself to not buy anything this month and save my money but obviously that didn't work. I wouldn't be making this post if it had. 
Sooo, the temptation got the best of my and I made my way to the mall. And I walked into Topshop. And I walked out with a bag. I bought a black and gorgeous maxi skirt, a denim dress and a new wallet. It wasn't too expensive so I was able to forgive myself for my sin. Then I walked into a shoe store and walked out with a bag. It looked like I'd bought myself some Vagabonds. But when do you own too many Vagabonds? I highly doubt you ever do. To celebrate this accidental shopping spree I decided to do a blogpost. Like usual I took some photos (inside because the weather here sucks) and you can check them out below. I am in love with everything I've bought and to be honest I haven't taken off the dress since I got home. Sacrifices have to be made if you're supposed to call yourself a fashion blogger, at least a few money sacrifices. Hopefully I won't start killing goats or anything like that..

Crop top: H&M

Maxi skirt: Topshop

Shoes: Vagabond

Tights: Falke

Lipstick: The Body Shop

This is how I feel when I wear this dress, not even exaggerating. 

Top: H&M

Dress: Topshop

Yep this photo confirms I'm a total loser.

I also sneaked into Body Shop a few days ago and here's what I got:
