Soooali

Well it’s Friday 13th and what better day to have your first post of 2012! Ok, so I haven’t really stuck to my new year’s resolutions so far blogging-wise, but with my finals and a thesis looming I’m not gonna be too hard on myself. I had a wonderful Christmas spending time with family and friends. Stockholm was just what the doctor ordered too. I found a few good bargains in the sale (photos to follow). Here’s what I wore on new years eve. I’m seriously addicted to this leather skirt. I only brought that and a pair of jeans with me and I could make up so many outfits with so little. Leather naturally lends itself to versatility! Have a good weekend guys!

Leather skirt and top from Penneys, boots from Office and Chanel Rouge Allure lippie.

Gott Nytt År from Stockholm! (Happy New Year!) Here’s a nice make up video that’s just as good for day and night. I’ll be wearing it tonight. I’ve lemon chicken on the pan, roasted veg in the oven and a lemon and basil mojito in my hand. What else could one ask for? I’m off for now…see you in 2012!

I’ve been a bad blogger, I know. But there’s a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes!! I’ve been wearing this outfit a lot over the last couple of weeks. I guess it’s a twist on the heritage trend somewhat. I’m currently packing for Stockholm, I’m heading off tomorrow and I can’t contain my excitement! I’ll be sure to keep more up to date on my travels!

I’m getting so lazy with my outfits these days. The colder weather means we’re wrapped up in a jacket 90% of the time, so most days my mindset it, why bother? However there is a reason to give a damn. If I put even the tiniest bit of effort into my clothes, I feel better in myself and my whole mood is lifted completely! Plus, as the years roll on I’m becoming an expert at cheating! I use coloured scarves and tights to inject life into my otherwise boring outfits. Now that’s not too difficult, is it? It’s cheap and still highly effective. I’m working on a new look for Soooali in the new year, so instead of regular blogging I’ve been putting more of my energy into that. It’s quite exciting actually. I feel like the site has changed a lot in the last two years and I want the look of the site to reflect that. Don’t worry, nothing will be too drastic!
