Outerwear
This is the clothing I purchased for our excursions :) I did take some coldweather accessories I already owned but I didnt use any of them since we got so lucky with the weather.
I got most of my outerwear from Mountain Warehouse because I wanted to keep things reasonably priced, and they have some really affordable options! Now, for the details! I was looking for something neutral, lightweight, and, most importantly, waterpr...
Misty Womens Waterproof Jacket
I also purchased this hoodie, originally not intending to bring it on the trip, but I ended up packing it anyway! It turned out to be a great basic to have for layering. I wouldn't recommend it if you're expecting rainy weather, but since we got luck...
Cropped Zip Up Hoodie
This was my base layer and I loveeeddd the pink and yes no one saw it but I saw it. This was a good base, I was warm but not hot and I did not feel overly layered :)
Blaze Womens Base Layer Top
Of course you have to get the set! And again so affordable!
Blaze Womens Base Layer Pants
purchased two extra pairs of thermal pants just because I already had other long-sleeve tops that would work. Plus, since I was going to be layering, no one would see me mismatching! These were warm and lightweight.
Talus Womens Pants Multipack
These were the hiking pants I purchased for the trip. I got three colors: grey, black, and brown. They kept us pretty dry and dried quickly whenever we got wet. They have an elastic at the bottom that helps cinch in the leg so it isn't too wide, and ...
Men's Baggy Cargo Pants, Elastic Waist
As I've gotten 'older' (I'm only 30 🙃), I've become someone who's always cold! These socks were great for keeping my feet warm while we were out exploring. And you can't beat the price… just $12.99 for a 3-pack! Definitely worth it!
EMS Outdoor Merino Womens Mid-Calf Walking Socks- 3 Pack
I would definitely recommend these hiking shoes! I'm by no means a serious hiker, but these are cute, neutral, and super comfortable. They also have great traction and do a wonderful job of keeping your feet dry. Just keep in mind they're not meant f...
Crosspath XC Shoe in Marshmallow White| Vans US
Casual Clothing
This list has what I wore while we were in Reykjavik and just hanging around exploring. These are not the only things I took with me but things I still found links for :)
Eeeek! Another item I own in multiple colors… I swear, I have a problem! 😂 This is such a great casual, comfy tee. I purchased it in blue, grey, black, and brown, and brought the blue and black ones with me to Iceland. It’s so easy to throw on and g...
Women’s Vintage Jersey Crew Neck T-Shirt - Universal Thread™ Blue XL
Took this jacket, very cute & casual! It is more springy, so a little light for Iceland but I layered a long sleeve underneath and I was ok! I think its out of stock now but Old Navy has great jackets.
Full-Zip Harrington Jacket
These are hands down THE BEST jeans everrrrr! A friend recommended them to me, and I haven’t looked back since. They're pretty much the only jeans I buy now! As y’all know, when I find something I love, I tend to buy it in every color. 😂 All the jea...
AE High-Waisted Stovepipe Jean
These are my everyday sneakers, and I’ve owned them in several colors over the years, including blue, black, and brown. They’re comfortable, neutral, dependable, and just an all-around great shoe! Perfect for walking around all day without your feet ...

No specific category for these items but just some things we bought with us.
We used these at the Blue Lagoon to keep our phones protected from the water, and they worked perfectly! Definitely a 10/10 and a must-have for this part of the trip!
Hiearcool Waterproof Phone Pouch 2-Pack
We got these to keep all our essentials in while exploring, like pills, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, and other little necessities. They were especially handy while walking around and going through the waterfalls! We also kept our wallets in the smalles...
Outdoor Products Ultimate Waterproof Lightweight Dry Bag, 3 pack
While researching our trip, we kept hearing that there was no need to buy bottled water in Iceland because their tap water is amazing. And they weren’t kidding! I brought along my trusty Hydro Flask, which I’ve had for about 8 or 9 years now. I own t...
20 oz Wide Mouth
Almost forgot to mention this one! Europe uses different outlets than we do, so we decided to get this universal adapter. We liked that it works in multiple countries, so we'll be able to use it on future trips too. Definitely a good travel essential...
Epicka 70W GaN PD Travel Adapter 3USB-C/2USB-A
I have an older version of this power bank, but it's always good to have one on hand! Especially when traveling and constantly using our phones for directions, taking pictures, and looking things up. The last thing you want is a dead phone while you'...
Anker Zolo Power Bank with Built-in USB-C
Something I WISH I had brought on our trip… my eye mask! Iceland gets anywhere from 14–18 hours of daylight, depending on the time of year, and let me tell you, it can still be sunny AF at 10 PM! An eye mask would have made such a difference in helpi...
