Reykjavík Grapevine - 21.06.2019, Síða 27

Dóra Julia
DJ and Instagram qween Dóra Júlía
tells us about her ideal day of family,
friends and partying in Reykjavík.
Morning
I sleep in ‘til 10:00. I wake up in
my cosy crib, put on some Ariana
Grande, make tea and water my
plants, singing along to Grande’s
song ‘Successful’ and dancing
around my apartment while getting
dressed. I feel calm and grounded.
The sun is shining and the birds
are singing outside my living room
window.
Mid-day
I go to my yoga class in World Class
Laugar, where I meet my yoga
soulsista Vaka Vigfúsdóttir. After-
wards we go to the pool, soak in the
sun and casually talk about life and
crazy future plans for taking on the
world. At around 14:30, I go down-
town to meet my bestie, Oddur Atla-
son. We walk down Skólavörðustígur
and I pop in to Hildur Yeoman’s store,
where I find an amazing customised
outfit to wear. It’s a matching pink
jacket and pants with her gorgeous
signature prints. We head down to
Sæta Svínið for a yummy late lunch
sitting in the sun.
Afternoon
I meet my mom and little sister at
Eymundson on Austurstræti. We read
Vogue, sip green tea, laugh a lot, and
my sister and I teach my mom how
to use Instagram. At 18:00, I meet
one of my best friends, Fransiska,
who also happens to be a masseuse.
I get the best massage and some
quality time with my bestie. She
joins me for a BBQ at my dad’s house,
where the whole family sits in the
garden in the evening sun.
Evening
Around 21:00 we make our way to
Petersen svítan and I meet all of my
favourite people—my friends that
live abroad are there, too. My signa-
ture drink there is pink tonic. Yum.
After drinks, we head to Sushi Social
for a late dinner—salmon sashimi
and lobster tempura. My best friend,
Þórdís, loves it and she’s travelled all
the way from Barcelona for dinner. It
doesn’t get more divine.
In the heat of the night
At 23:30, I have a dope gig at the
Reykjavík Art Museum, where I
play as much Britney as I like and
everybody’s loving it. The gig’s done
around 2:00 and I and my soulmate
Logi (who lives in London but is of
course there since it’s the perfect
day) make our way to Prikið, where
we dance on tables until morning.
Then I head home, it’s time for bed!
