While everything appeared deceivingly civil and well proportioned in the capital(as described in more detail in my previous post), once we headed out of Reykjavik, nature began to take more and more control. Everything came in big portions: snow, mountain, water, ice, food, storm….

I’d been modest on my instagram posting about my trip to Iceland considering how epic the whole journey was. At the time I felt utterly in awe of the power and that effortless amazing-ness of nature, that I didn’t feel the action of posting on social media would do justice to what Iceland was gi …

I’ve not been to Barcelona before last weekend, but I’ve seen plenty of Gaudi’s architectural wonders’ pictures and juicy paella flatlays. When I finally have the chance to visit the city for just a little more than a day, I decided to do things a little differently.in the picture above: Hotel C …

Not that I don’t own my own cardigans. In fact in my cardigan drawer they come in a variety of colours and styles. But somehow, the ones in hubby’s wardrobe just looked better. It’s not even one of those “the grass is always greener” case, trust me. When I came to think of the reason why I reach …

There are days, when the second you wake up and you just have the best feeling about them. The blue sky looks promising, you’ve no particular plan for the day. But you just know everything you see will look beautiful and everyone you meet will be nice and funny. This was one of those days right …

I live in London, and I love the city for a well balanced city scape with a mixture of busy streets and serene parks and greens. And to me, any city that’s great to live in needs a good blend of things. Especially when it comes to what various locations have to offer. A short trip(20-30 mins by …
