BURKATRON

hat: primark vintage levis jacket* brag vintage eagle sweater: urban outfitters leigh jeans: topshop backpack: topshop boots: office reykjavik is charming... and pretty chilly. every morning I'd layer up like the michelin man and head out to explore. it's quite a small place; the streets are full of little shops brimming with vintage clothes and hidden gems. it's so relaxed you find yourself wandering from street to street with no agenda other than to peek into doorways and hunt out the next quaint coffee shop to stock up on cake and caffeine. I found myself going for comfort every day.. skinny jeans, jumpers and hats (winter dressing at its easiest) I only opted to bring hand luggage so I was forced to plan what I was going to wear in advance (this meant I didn't spend every morning pulling out clothes debating wardrobe options much to the delight of the boy!) we spent our first day wandering around the city soaking up the atmosphere of the icelandic way of life: we st...

a bumper instagram post today!  apologies for the epic amount of pictures; I always take millions of snaps when I go away and this was a trip I've been dreaming of for YEARS (no joke, I was a big kid) I wanted to share some of the best places we went to eat as a few of them aren't really in the guide books; plus I did so much research before I went I thought it would be a waste not to share it with you! lots of you have asked for my recommendations so I'll pop them in at the end of the post..  take off! | 5th avenue, I was really excited about seeing the famous yellow taxis and they are literally everywhere! | Chrysler building! my favourite of the famous skyscrapers especially at night when the art deco design is lit up! |  washington square | eataly food market | on the statten island ferry- it's free and you get good views of the statue of liberty! | meatpacking district- great bars, this is the place to go at night! | times square | urban outfitters shopping...

I'm baaaaack!  I wish I could have stayed in new york but it's always nice to be reunited with my bed and proper cups of tea! I thought I should take some outfit photos whilst I was away (in between eating too many pancakes, squealing at every yellow taxi and generally being as excited as a 5yr old in a sweet shop) I'll pop them up over the next few weeks (it makes a nice change to have some outdoor photos again hurrah!)  well the first day was sunny but a little bit chilly so I layered up like a snowman (this was a reoccurring theme!) I wore one of my old vintage denim shirts, my fave urban outfitters sweater and my go-to topshop leigh jeans.  my boohoo faur fur is my absolute favourite coat this year so it had to come along for the trip too. I love it's vintage fit and style and it's pretty much like wearing a hug all day long!  after a few hours of sight seeing in midtown we made it to the famous shake shack  and well... complete gluttony ensued! if you're pl...
