Rainy Day Reads

I recently got back from a week long trip to Iceland. If you saw my Iceland packing list that I posted some weeks ago, I have a few comments on that! First of all: skip the dress, the shorts and the skirts! I never used any of it. I probably could have used the dress and the skirts, if I had had enough leggings, leg warmers and cardigans to complement those outfits and keep me warm.
