reykjavik fashion festival

 Hi! So this weekend 28th til the 30th was the Reykjavik Fashion Festival, a festival where new and old designers can showcase their new work and possibly get noticed by the world! Its a huge yearly event and of course a huge fuss for us Icelanders. We take a lot of pride in it! 

I sadly did not volunteer or get myself a ticket since i did not think i would be in Iceland this weekend so i missed out on some great shows and i will admit i'm a bit bummed out! Hopefully next year i'll be able to maybe do some stylist or make up work on the festival, who knows! Anyways i missed out but i did look through some (a lot actually!) of pictures from this weekends shows and i have to admit that there are some favorites! There where about 8 designers, some have been there before such as JÖR by Guðmundur Jör and some new ones like Sigga Maija.

 I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite looks from this weekend but i think all of the designers did a fantastic job. Iceland is really placing itself on the fashion map and we just get bigger every year which is amazing. There were so many awesome looks that i had a hard time choosing! One of my favorite designers this year was Rey, her style seemed really simple, feminine and elegant. Sigga Maija also stood out since she had a beautiful pop of blue and red which was incorporated into everyday wear. 

All pictures are from the photographer Birta Rán who runs the website http://www.birtaran.com and she kindly let me use the ones i like to put up on my blog :)

Next up is a couple of pictures from the Farmers Market fashion show - i love that the models have natural red/ginger hair, really does suit the show itself and captures the 'farming' look without being to stereotypical haha.

Sigga Maija was a newbie at the RFF and she did a fantastic job! She really has an eye for vibrant colours and prints and makes them work together. She's for sure bringing some new stuff to the table and it looks good. I am personally in love with the blue color and in picture two there's a purse that i am dying to get my hands on!

Hope you enjoyed seeing a few of my faves from this weekend, what are yours? :)

new in - mini haul

So i've been in Iceland since Tuesday due to family issues and decided to go meet up with a close friend of mine on Thursday and it of course ended up with us going shopping! 

I desperately needed  to buy some kind of an eyebrow kit, i've been using just a pencil and some eyeshadow and it kept smudging! Was getting very annoying and it looked super fake! So i got the elf eyebrow kit (in the color dark) and i absolutely love it! I will do a mini review on it sooner or later :)

We then wandered into the Inglot store here in Iceland in search of some lipsticks, i was trying to hunt down the perfect dark plum-berry lip color and i have not yet succeeded BUT i did happen to find a foundation that i was really wanting to try. I convinced myself i needed a new foundatiron as i didnt have one (i have like 50) and i bought the Inglot Cream Powder foundation. I am in the process of reviewing that so stay tuned if you want to know more about it :)

We also hit the jackpot with some super sales at this store called Define the Line, they have some beautiful dresses and a lot to choose from! I picked up two dresses and they only cost me a 1000kr each! Which is around 8 or 9 us$! Super bargain and i am very happy with them! Cant wait to wear them in the summer. Really sorry for the bad quality picture but im still getting the hang of taking pictures of not myself (selfie queen i admit it)!

so perfect for summer!

So that concludes my mini haul, hope you enjoyed and we'll talk soon.

hey There..

So i've been craving for years now to start my own blog but never been motivated enough to go for it! After some thinking i decided i should give it a go and see what happens. I've been lying over all these other beauty and fashion blogs and i always wanted to try it too since im a bit of a fan of beauty and fashion. 

My aim is to have this just a simple lifestyle, beauty and fashion blog and just a place i can share what i enjoy the most. 

On another note, my name is Anna and im 20 years old from Iceland but currently living in Norway :) 

I love going out with friends, spending unhealthy amounts on the internet looking at clothes and make up and im really into photography. I do have a pretty good camera (canon powershot sx170)  and  it captures my make up looks much better then the iphone and i love it but i am wanting in the future a heavy duty canon one with an awesome lens.
