Wishful thinking
16 March, 2011
I’m getting to that very delicate time of year where just the tiniest thing can set me off. I don’t know if it’s the change in weather, the closeness to exams or the constant and never ending work load. I’m always on edge though. I have no time to look at fashion blogs, magazines or even ust chill out, yet I find that during my time studying, I’m drifting off concocting ambitious plans. It’s impossible to concentrate. I met with Cillian from Male Mode and Ana from Ripped Knees last week where we discussed the slumps of blogging. It’s not that I don’t have the ideas, because they’re endless. I just don’t have the time or the means to execute them. So I’m thinking of making some changes to Soooali. But I would really appreciate some feedback. Whatever you like, content, site, photos. If you have an opinion, I want to hear it! You can email me here, ali@soooali.com or leave a comment below. I’m looking forward to my two gorgeous sisters returning home this weekend though and having some girly fun. Life isn’t all librarys and assignments! It was great to get back into taking photos with M again. Luckily the weather is getting better and as I put on these shorts I secretly hoped the next time I put them on would be sans tights. I realise that’s wishful thinking, but how else are we to survive?
Blazer from Topshop, shorts from H&M, jumper from Uniqlo, shoes from Clarks and tights from Ahlens.

I’m exhausted. Rome really took it out of me and the list above is just what was on the itinerary. We took two days out from Rome and visited Tivoli and Naples. They were some of the most beautiful places that I’ve ever been to. I’m so lucky that I got this opportunity to do this. The past week has been spent catching up on essays. I haven’t had a minute to even think about blogging. Hopefully after the next two weeks, I’ll get a bit more time to gather some thoughts and photos. Isn’t it always the way?

Remember the boots post? Well I decided to take a look at some of my heels… yes, I do have a shoe addiction. But who doesn’t? Which ones are your favourites?
