You have to work with what you got~

As strange it may sound, that is what you have to do. Far to alien for some. Anyways, as I have no space really to snap pics of outfits I just have to use whatever I got - and pixelate the mess! My skew door became boring, and I like landscape pictures. And my flower pants from Forever21.



Also, my hair looks like a bird nest, I had been out in the strong April wind. And for those who has issues with bare feet, sorry no shoes allowed in my bed. AND, for the last time, I wore a scarf as hair accessorise again. I am quite pleased as that. Busy days and working in the workshops where hair as to be tucked away, gives little inspiration to do much with my hair. But putting it up in a bun or something is win-win.

Mandatory sleeping picture ofc...
Love love love my jeans <3


At last I just have to tell you that I went to specsavers to buy me new reading glasses. There they had a 2 for 1 offer, and the designer glasses where quite cheap - for a norwegian girl. So I got myself a pair of French Connection and Gok Wans! Both quite nerdy and quirky~ I will actually get them on Monday to pick up, so expect pictures of them then :)

Have a nice evening ;3

Forever Flowers~

Yesterday, I was in Birmingham with Shirley & a friend. After doing some errands we had, we decided to go to the Bullring and have a look. It didn't take long before we where at Forever21, and let me tell you, we spent about 2 hours there. The store is so incredible big and amazing. Found my bikini for the summer there, but that is for another post.

What this is about is me always having wanted and dreamt about jeans/trousers with flower patterns. And I have seen many, many good ones, many horrible ones, and many that I didn't want. But that was until I came to Forever21 and found these. I am in love. 


I can now face the summer with my own floral patterned jeans. And the best is the colour combination. Dark undefinable grey and neon flowers. I love the neon trend this year~

Bright yellow & flower patterns

I know we have entered April, and I survived the April's fools day without getting tricked. Still, I really want to share with you some of the inspiration I found in the March edition of Happie Nuts. My all time favourite Japanese fashion magazine. They seem to know exactly what I want, what I need, where I need to be pushed, where I need to go and what I need to wear. And how I should dare more. No magazine hit home like Happie Nuts do. So here we go~


This spring I have fallen for the bright yellow colour, or all bright colours for that matter, but specially yellow. It is such a good detail colour, as well as on clothes to give the outfit some life. This spring/summer I really want to work that yellow colour! I also want to dress up a little bit more cuter, without loosing touch with the edgy/rock-ish side. In general, what I want is to still rock black, white and gray; but with some input of bright and pastel colours. 


outfits: 
1. I love how the top + a plain skirt becomes so elegant. Not to mention how chic it looks with those red heels.
2. The monochrome trend this spring is just awesome. I am so geared up because two of my favourite "colours" has become a trend together. And a black fake leather skirt, skorts, or shorts is a must have in my closet.
3. To my surprise I have started loving floral patterns. I despised them for a couple of years now, but this year it has grown on me. A pencil or a peplum skirt with floral patter = Yes please!
4. This outfit perfectly illustrates what I mean by rock-ish but with more colours. Light lilac, yellow, mint, bight blue and red is lovely. I just need to learn to combine them with all my black, gray and white clothes.


Outfits:
1. High waisted jeans/leggings is a cool ad quirky combination to tees and blazers. This outfit is kept perfectly balanced with cute heels and a comfortable hairstyle. Love it!
2. Another perfect outfit to show how I want to dress up. This outfit is lovely, and a perfect mix between chic, stylish and casual. Beanie&sweater + skirt&heels = YES.
3. Sweater over shirts is one of my favourite trends ever, and I really hope to keep it though spring/summer by using thin sweater and chiffon shirts. I also am crazy for floral patterned jeans. 
4. White jeans and pastel coloured tops might be too light for me. But I still like it a lot.

I am falling in love with Yui Minemura. She is such a diverse and lovely model. She can pull of so many different looks. Sometimes I don't recognise her unless they have put their name beside her in the mag. Which I think is great that the mags do, it gives us newbies a chance to learn the models names and their faces :)



Just look at Yui Minemura in these four pics of her, so different! Specially on the last one from the others. I have also started to really notice Nicole Abe too. She is different in a good way. 

Now, this became a much longer post than what I intended. I just wanted to put a little more effort into my inspiration posts. Not just say vaguely what inspired my and dump a lot of pictures in the post without saying anything more. Although I like my post clean, and without too much text. Did I overkill it this time? 

I am also wondering if my blog has changed to just a plain boring one? Because I know one year ago it was all about j-mags, outfits, inspiration, detail pics e.g. Now it is a lot more about my life though pictures and much less about style. I am trying to bring more of my style and inspiration into this blog, but I just want to hear what you, my readers, think :)
