A few of you asked how the sushi that I was planning on making this weekend turned out, and the answer is pretty awful. Not only couldn't I make it stick together, but it tasted bad as well. I don't think I could ever get used to the taste of seaweed as it tastes, and more importantly smells too much like fish to me... From now on, I think I'm going to stick to western food as opposed to food from the east, which doesn't seem to be quite suitable for my taste buds!

My morning.

Today, I woke up really late, and I have no idea why. I had a very relaxing day yesterday so I shouldn't really be that tired - though I guess sometimes your body needs to recuperate and then sleeping extra long is only good (it's just that I prefer to not waste the whole morning like that!)



Tassus always sleeps in my bed with me and he's always very cuddly in the morning. I love it when I have the time to wake up slowly like that.





I got up and had a nice long shower, rolled my hair, and made myself breakfast.


Buckwheat porridge with soya mik and honey as well as tea. Delicious.


While eating I made a little list of what I had to remember to buy today... I'm going to try my hand at making vegan sushi this weekend - that's the reason for a couple of the strange sounding items!

My new black dress.

This is my new black dress that I wore to a friend's birthday party last Saturday. I love the cut and fit of this dress, and it's quite classic as well - plus, it doesn't hurt that it was 75% off either!

Dress; Oasis, tights; Kapp Ahl, and shoes by Chie Mihara.

A few hours in the sun.

The last few days have been so pleasantly warm and nice here, which has been absolutely lovely. Even if it hasn't been sunny all the time, the air's been very warm. It's hardly ever like this - in fact, I cannot remember the last time it was nice and warm and not chilly because of the wind. I hope this continues for a few more days at least.
I enjoyed a morning sitting outside reading a book and drinking strawberry smoothie.

Sunrise and sunset.

My sleeping/getting up routine gets very easily messed up in the summer because of the constant light. Yes, I live that far north - so far north that for two months straight in the summer the night is as bright as the day. It is very lovely, but it also unfortunately leads me to turn the day around (not completely, but much more than what I should) on the days when I'm not working. Consequently, these pictures were taken sometime during the night - and I couldn't really say if the sun is rising or setting, but I suppose that does not really matter.

Today's outfit.

First of all, sorry for my absence... I've just been feeling very uninspired and not in the mood to blog - but I think my inspiration might be back now.

What I wore today:

Top; Noa Noa, skirt; H&M, tights, American Apparel, shoes; Topshop, bag; Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Picnic

Today my little sister and I went on a little picnic together in a pretty meadow full of buttercups.




Tassus ended up as a yellow dog after smelling too many buttercups!



We ate waffles.

I've had such a lazy day today - I haven't done much else than lying on the sofa watching films, believe it or not. Though I had been working for six days straight (and will be working tomorrow again as well), so I suppose it wasn't too bad. Have any of you done anything more interesting this weekend?
