How to spend an early morning after voluntary 5 hours sleep

Today I thought I would try something new, writing in Norwegian too! After an eternity of starring at the rain I came to conclusion that I might as well try it out. Last night I also thought it was smart to go to bed at 2AM and to get up at 7:30AM. Luckily I have a new and stunning coffee machine, so it was easy to make a cup of intense coffee after splashing my face with cold water. I was on my way to wake up properly. But I needed something that prevented me from turning on the telly and dozing off on the couch. So I found my favourite design magazine, snapped and edited some photos.

I dag tenkte jeg å prøve noe nytt, ja, skrive på norsk også! Etter en evighet med å stirre på regnet, så tenkte jeg at det kunne være noe å prøve. Inatt tenkte jeg også det var lurt å legge meg kl 02.00 for å stå opp 07.30. Heldigvis har jeg jo fått en ny og lekker kaffemaskin så det var lett å ordne seg en kopp kaffe etter at jeg hadde vasket ansiktet med kaldt vann. Da var jeg godt på vei til å våkne. Men jeg trengte noe som ikke fikk meg til å slå på tv og legge meg ned på sofaen og sovne. Så da var det bare å ta bilde av mitt favoritt design magazin og redigere bilder. 

The FX Photo Studio app is a pretty cool app if you ever get the urge to put on filters on your photos on a rainy day. The pro version isn't that expensive, and I am now considering to buy it when my trial ends. Afterwards I browsed myself to my recently started interior blog, which I am not entirely ready to share with you, and blog. To brag about the favourite mag: So incredible inspiring, specially this issue!

FX Photo Studio er en ganske alright app/program om man får en trang til å legge filter over bildene sine på en regnfull dag. Pro versjonen koster hele "svimlende" 140kr, og det er opp til vurdering å kjøpe. Etter det var det å dra fram den nye interiør bloggen, som jeg ikke er helt klar for å meddele med kjente og ukjente, og poste et innlegg om det. Og skryte om favoritt magasinet: Det er så ufattelig inspirerende, spesielt denne utgaven!

Then I realised that against the odds I had managed to stay awake for a couple of hours. Now it is time to make&eat some breakfast and get the day started. The time of starring at the rain, editing and morning blogging is over. Have a delightful rainy day!

Så innså jeg at jeg imot alle odds hadde klart å holde meg våken i ett par timer. Nå er det på tide med frokost, og få selve dagen i gang. Kosen med stirring på regn, redigering, og morgenblogging er over. Ha en forteffelig regnfull dag!

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. 

Above: Although I want to keep using my scarfs, I like how headbands is being picked up and used again. 

Below: Great hairstyle inspiration for a hat, beanie and cap lover like me!

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 :)
