Wanderlust ::: Reykjavik, Iceland

I am thrilled to welcome Elise Yetton of Pennyweight as the first guest contributor to Luster. Elise is a stylist living in Nashville, Tennessee and authors Pennyweight, full of simply lovely things that always inspire me. She also runs an online vintage clothing boutique, Troubadour Vintage. Be sure to visit her at Pennyweight and Troubadour Vintage. Today, Elise is taking us to Reykjavík, Iceland where she would love to visit someday, and showing us her hotel pick, and what she would pack in her suitcase. ::: Luster

::: From Elise ::: I have been wanting to visit Iceland for as long as I can remember. Though the weather can be finicky, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The capital city of  Reykjavík is bursting with creativity, design and lots of color. I long to visit one of the many art museums, have a beer at a local pub, relax in the stunning blue lagoon and wander the streets taking in the vibrant city life.

Without a doubt, I would have to stay at the boutique Hótel 101. Owner Ingibjörg S. Pálmadottir, a designer and graduate of Parsons School of Design, added heated oak floors, a lounge fireplace, sauna, art gallery and more to this chic space. With accommodations so cozy and beautiful, I may never leave my room!

    My son has been fascinated with Iceland for years and it is his dream destination as well. It looks like an interesting place indeed – the hotel is fabulous and there is so much natural beauty to explore.
