And you really do look like you belong there! &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Like Joy, there is something about #3 that makes it my favorite out of every last fab outfit. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>(Side note - interesting information about the ethnicity/heritage there. I'm rapidly learning about ancestry via DNA testing and genetics as my son is applying to companies like 23andme and I'm doing research with him!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1815537 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 18:34:20 +0000 Chris987 1815537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, what a great report, fab travel capsule, and LOVE your info on the history of Iceland ethnicities. I can see how you felt like you fit right in. </p> <p>I visited the Orkney Islands some years ago in June. Their climate is similar to what you describe, including&nbsp;those long summer days (and long winter nights). Their ethnicity is half Scottish/Irish and half Norse, although your story about what the slaves did to stay warm in Iceland probably applies in Orkney too :-). I stayed in a Castle-turned-BnB for 2 nights and spent one day indoors in the library while it poured outside....and in that library was a very old copy of "The Icelandic Sagas" that had been collected by the original aristocrat who built the castle in the mid 1800s. I really wanted to look at it but no way they were allowing anyone to touch it. If you run out of things to read on Iceland..... </p> <p>That "waiting for summer since 1926" is really funny. I hear that parts of Alaska are similar. Your photos are absolutely fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1815508 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:13:02 +0000 JuniperGreen 1815508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous vacay wardrobe and pics! &nbsp;Thank you for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1815506 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:08:32 +0000 Elizabeth P 1815506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could have sworn I commented on this already... but maybe not!&nbsp; </p> <p>I did a four day stop over in Iceland on my way back from Sweden/Norway, a gazillion years ago.&nbsp; Loved every minute of it, and it's very high on my list of places to return to some day.&nbsp; Your photos are gorgeous, you're reigniting my interest!</p> <p>I can't believe you did that climate in a carry on... good for you!&nbsp; And with a variety of needs (conference wear plus retreat wear).&nbsp; I'm in awe.&nbsp; Esp as you looked stylish and put together, not just in quick dry gear :)</p> <p>Will look at your list carefully and file it for future reference.&nbsp; I'm heading to Scotland for two weeks this summer, and am wondering if I should take the carry on challenge myself.&nbsp; Hmm.</p> <p>TFS!&nbsp; Would love to see more photos!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1815503 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 15:44:48 +0000 Julie 1815503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting this!

You looked stylish and fab every day, Suz, and marvelous that Iceland was everything you hoped for (it is very high on my travel destination list). Such a stunningly beautiful country, WOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1815412 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 05:15:23 +0000 Cee 1815412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thing you researched what clothes to take, Suz </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1814828 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:22:02 +0000 Anonymous 1814828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing trip - celebrities, nature, current cultural events - WOW!</p> <p>I think sometimes we forget that it is possible to under-pack, as well as over-pack. &nbsp;Sounds like you hit it on the nose in that regard! &nbsp;Cold weather trips make staying within carryon limits tough - once you need more than one coat and multiple sweaters, it gets difficult.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1814826 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:14:59 +0000 texstyle 1814826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful all&nbsp; around!

You're making me want to go back to Iceland. I had a short trip there about 12 years ago and would like to go back and see more.</p> <p>Your travel capsule is stunning.

I will look up Toril Moi's remarks on Knausgard, <b>Harmonica</b>. I read Siri Hustvedt on him and that was interesting for sure. I have only read the first volume of his struggle. :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1814504 Sun, 11 Jun 2017 12:58:09 +0000 Amy Isabella 1814504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your trip sounds amazing, the scenery looks absolutely stunning and you look beautiful.

The light, the colors, the severe beauty, are all astonishing. &nbsp;Love the bits of color among the snug and cozy items in your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report/page/2#post-1814325 Sat, 10 Jun 2017 11:05:59 +0000 harmonica 1814325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a short notice. I have been waiting for this post! So happy you had an amazing time and fun to read how the capsule in action and that the layering worked well. You look so FAB! I'll come back and read more thoroughly later. What a treat </p> <p>ETA: couldn't resist. The culture, history and landscape of Iceland is so fascinating! Fun that Knausgård gave a talk. He is an intriguing character, indeed. Literature professor Toril Moi had some very interesting remarks on his authorship that is worth looking at, if you are interested in the fiction/non-fiction/autobiography debate. I think she also discuss how gender influence the reviews and reception in general. And yes, I LOVE the Nordic summer light! I think my location is about the same latitude as Iceland and last night a friend of mine and I saw the sun set at midnight and rise a few hours later.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report#post-1814323 Sat, 10 Jun 2017 10:56:03 +0000 Summer 1814323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Iceland looks beautiful - if a little chilly! - and it sounds like an amazing trip.&nbsp; Your travel capsule also looks very well thought out and lovely.&nbsp; <br />Take care of that throat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report#post-1814258 Sat, 10 Jun 2017 02:46:51 +0000 Nebraskim 1814258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So very beautiful. Thanks for sharing your amazing photos and experiences. I don't travel as I hate flying but were I to be persuaded to travel, Iceland is my No. 1 destination because I'm interested in the geology and wildlife. I keep urging my spouse as he loves photography and this would be wonderful for him.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iceland-travel-report#post-1814256 Sat, 10 Jun 2017 02:35:11 +0000 Aquamarine 1814256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing photos, thanks for sharing.
