I picked up my new phone yesterday. Although the thing I'm most excited about is my new pink cotton-bra. Is it not pretty? I find beauty in simple things like this pink thing. I don't really own many pink things, though it seems like most of my toiletries are pink. I brought one proper bra on my Indochina-trip, and I can count on one hand how many times I used it. In other words, I've been enjoying soft cotton-bras, obviously. The only problem is, it's a bit chilly in Norway (surprise), so the nipple game is strong. Oh well, there's nipple covers. After picking up my phone, I had to find a phone case to go with it. So I was looking at different ones, and I decided to ask one of the staff just to be sure that it'll fit my phone. They were blasting the new Justin Timberlake song on the speakers, and to my surprise, the guy who works there, starts dancing along to the song. Not, like, as if he started dancing a choreography. But as he was standing there and looking at the phone case, he was bogeying. I was amused but also really happy. It's just so nice to see people not giving a shit. Eventually he conceded that "yes, this will fit your phone". I went to get my disposables evoked, and now I'm really looking forward to how they'll turn out. Disposables are always a nice surprise. It's strange, how after the trip, I feel like I've gotten more into fashion and style again. It's like I rediscovered the art of expressing one self via what you wear. Kiwi said something to me on the trip regarding my style, that I found was spot on. If I'm not incorrect, she told me I enjoy a classic style, but I'm also a bit something else. The something else I can't remember what she said, but I can remember feeling a bit shell shocked. Sometimes you don't notice things that others notice about you. I really do enjoy a slick, classic look, which sometimes to me can translate to a minimalistic way of dressing. So sometimes I enjoy just wearing a pair of jeans and something simple on top. I love a good structured top. It's a bit like wearing a piece of art. However, don't confuse classic to dressed up. I don't like that, being too dressed up, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Goodness, imagine walking a red carpet, having to be "perfect". But the "something else" part of my style isn't all that classic. I am fond of strange pieces, like the jeans-jacket I picked up in a store targeted towards women with hijabs in Kuala Lumpur. I've been a big fan of slightly quirky shoes as of late, fell in love with a pair from Bershka, but didn't buy them as the heel was a bit too much for me. I am really craving a great fitting pair of mom jeans. I think this style thing, it's from walking around in the big cities, seeing all these people with great style. On 17th of May, I saw a group of hipsters dressed up, and I thought they were so cool. I was about to tell them, but we were walking so fast, and in different directions. Just like with the dancing, I admire when people don't give a fuck. I thought my mother was bad with technology, but yesterday I could beat her in the competition. I was trying to set up my phone, when I just didn't remember how to do things. Like, do you turn the phone on first, or do you charge it first, when do you put the sim-card in, etc. Eventually I managed, and now I've got a brand new phone. The thing is, I've gone a month without one, and I've somehow weaned myself off fan fiction (been reading so many books, haven't I?), so the only thing I really use it for is to browse through Instagram and answering the few snaps I get. And then it's just there. It's simple things, like how I used to always be reading whilst eating. Now, when I eat, I don't even need a form of entertainment. I just sit there and eat. And when I thought of going out to go to the shops, I thought "I don't really need to bring the phone with me". I am enjoying it as long as it lasts, this feeling. Instead of being occupied by my phone, I've borrowed two books in the Lorien Legacies series. I found the sixth book in the series when I was in a bookshop in Ubud, Bali. And I was surprised, because last time I heard of the series, I finished reading a disappointing book number three. Kiwi told me she was surprised I liked the series, considering how much aversion I've shown fantasy. The genre just doesn't appeal to me in book form, it's not my first choice. I was surprised myself, because I couldn't remember why on earth I started reading it myself. Browsing through the blog, I realise it's because I fell in love with the movie. I watched the movie in the cinema back in 2011, then I read the book a year later. One of the reasons why I am averse to fantasy books is because of their horrible covers. They're awful. My copy of I Am Number Four (first book in these series) is really nice in my opinion, which might be one of the reasons why I didn't discard it. The ones I've borrowed now are of the horrible type. I wouldn't even given them a proper look, had it been the first time I'd heard of the name "Pittacus Lore". Admittedly the books are targeted towards young adults, maybe that's why they look so bloody awful. As it is, I had a sudden urge to continue reading the series when I found the sixth book in Ubud. Other obsessions at the moment includes Nick Jonas, whom I've re-fallen in love with. Albeit, not like a giggly mess. I've just been enjoying his new songs. His newest song is called Chainsaw, and I am really enjoying it. I've also finally gotten around to listening to Zayn's new album. I was a bit disappointed after hearing It's You as the second single, if I'm not incorrect. I just thought "how boring" when I had really great expectations of Zayn. That was my first mistake. Anyway, I've given the album a listen, and I can't really hear a distinctive Zayn-sound, like he's still evolving. The album sounds a bit like a bunch of different people who he's inspired by. I was especially hit with a feeling of a Frank Ocean vibe. Other than that, my favourite song is probably Drunk. Whoever decided to write the songtitles in upper-case- and lower-case letters should get a spank. It makes it look really childish, which, looking at the album cover might be on purpose, but it really ruins the aesthetic. Yes, the aesthetic. Speaking of music, I've been using my Spotify, and I feel very in touch with the teens when I'm listening to current hits. Oh god, I do genuinely sound like a grandmother.
