Italiano Amour





We arrived from Italy just yesterday, and Im already missing the sea and the italian way of living!
Waking up at ten and eat breakfast, go to the beach and stay there to two or three and then go home and eat and go to sleep then again go to the beach at five or six and in the evening, go down town ..
ahh though this was not our plan everyday, we went to all kinds of historical places and everything was beautiful and interesting! 

 These photos where taking in Italy, Sicily by my younger sister, the clothing and styling is done by myself and the clothes are all vintage or just have a unique look.

R.I.P. King of Pop





This was quite shocking .. and sad to know that Michael Jackson died last night.
A heart attack or something they say.
I loved his hair and his style and most of all, and I think that most everybody loved his "moonwalk" and every dance move which he did!
He was so glamorous and stylish in every single move, every single time in his life (when the paparazzi got to him).

R.I.P. dear Michael Jackson

P.S. I'm going to Italy for two weeks!
Goodbye vintage lovers
Next time(blog) I'll bring lots of italian vintage love <3

Russian Artist's in America XX century

I'm surrounded by russians in Moscow for now. I and my younger sister are visiting my mother, and she lives here in Moscow. I get always very bored in Russia, but I try to find my way out of this boredom. Yesterday we went to a museum and saw a few pictures made by russian artist's who moved to America(1800-2000).
There where few artist's which I fell in love with!

Mark Rothko


Leon Gaspard



Raphael Soyer



Nikolai Feshin





And Nina Shick and Nikolai Vasilieff
which I couldn't really find much after them! 
But believe me they are fantastic :-)

nervous breakdown

Long time no see!
I have been up too so much lately and I just couldn't sit down peacefully and blog!
I was finishing school, graduating and I'm heading to high school next autumn.
Then I and my class went to Denmark, Copenhagen. It was kind of a spring-graduating trip for us.
We went to two or three museums, one of them was Thorvaldsen museum! and we went to the Tivoli and got some time to shop, it was incredibly fun!
But as you all know, it is a big crisis and Denmark is the most expensive country for us, icelanders. But I bought one pretty dress from H&M and a playsuit and arab shoes from some little unknown shop (which are always the most interesting places to shop in!)

So when I came back home, I was sent to work right away!
Its my summer vacation and still I wake up every morning at half eight in the morning to get the bus and go to work in the kitchen for "yndisauki" (which is sme health food, really good though!)
But thats okay, cause after 9 days I'm going to Russia and there I can relax as much as possible, and then 27th of June ( I think ), I'm going to Italy baby!
Aaaah how wonderful!
But now I'm just praying everyday to get a positive letter from the high school which I really want to go to, and I'll get to know if I made it in or not! jiks ..

For my graduating gift I really want Kron by Kron Kron shoes
They are simply amazing ..
But still, now days everybody are wearing them and I am starting to think about waiting and see if I could find some unique and amazing platform heels in Italy :-)
Here are two types of shoes, (Kron by Kron Kron) which I can't really decide which one of them i should pick, If I would get me them.




And while I was looking for shoes I checked for some clothes and ooh .. :


Marc by Marc Jacobs


Henrik Vibskov
