going away on a holiday

Dress; Primark via ebay, Tights Dorothy Perkins, Boots; Georgia Rose c/o Sarenza.

A semi Summer-y outfit to celebrate finishing work at 12:30pm yesterday and getting in to full on holiday mode! Snagged this dress for pennies on ebay last week and I love it, I remember wanting it from in store the year before last but not getting it…shopping fate strikes again!

I’m like an excited child on Christmas Eve/Day right now. I’ve not had a proper holiday for seven years and knowing I’ve worked damn hard for this, in every sense of the world is just amazing. To those who know my history, thank you for believeing in me…and to those going through it, it might be hard now, and things might not be perfect, but it does get better and life IS worth it. I’ve never felt quite so happy and content as I do right now (the only thing that could make it better would be my Nan being here to watch it all).

I rounded off work on a high by being signed off as qualified on INR star (which will mean very little to any of you I am sure!). My case is packed…all that’s left to do is paint my toenails and meet up with the gorgeous Ellie, the brains behind this holiday.

I may or may not be blogging whilst away, it entirely depends on wifi/Ellie sharing her laptop ;)/how much fun I am having.

Malaga has been in the forty degree range this week. Bring.It.On.

Β Mae’s unladylike attempt at perfecting her sun bathing pose in hopes she can come too.

    You look ridiculous and seem to love the attention you get from flaunting your body across your blog. Nobody wants to see pictures of a girl who can’t dress herself pose in stupid outfits because she knows she is underweight you need to act your age.

  14. Kristen

    These people posting anonymously are so cowardly. And their stupidity makes my head hurt.

    If you have a problem with Laura and think these things about her… STOP READING HER BLOG. Does it make you feel super cool to say things detrimental to another’s mental/physical well being? Then puff that chest out, by all means. Maybe if you had any balls you would post under your own name.

  15. Have an absolutely amazing holiday! I’m sure you will πŸ˜€ You look absolutely stunning, so glad you managed to get hold of the dress, I love it when things like that happen!! xo

  16. I hope you have a good holiday you definitely deserve it!!! πŸ™‚

  17. Amie

    this girl can’t expect not to get comments like that if she’s putting pictures of herself over the internet like the ones on this post kristen.

  18. this is too cute. . if you get a sec, would love to know what you think of my latest post!

    The dress is pretty but I’m afraid it just doesnt look very nice on such a skinny ribcage. time for a reality check everyone.

  26. I wish you the best time away ever. You deserve it. I’m looking forward to hearing about it. I bet Mae will miss you though. Her position reminds me of the crazy positions that my Juliette Miracle gets herself into.

  27. Have a fantastic holiday Laura! You look lovely as ever and Mae is the cutest! xxx

    How the dress does or does not look on Laura is utterly irrelevant. It is a pretty dress, she is a beautiful girl. She is underweight and is working extremely hard to sort that out. If you had any knowledge of this, you wouldn’t post such harmful things. Laura doesn’t make any claims about her body or ask for feedback on her health, she simply shares pictures of her outfits. Sometimes she is slimmer, other times more healthy. THAT is NOT the point of her blog. If you feel like you want to make these kind of comments, write them on post-its and stick them on your wall. When your whole wall is full, maybe you’ll have learnt some empathy and general basic manners.

  29. Oh my god, I am so, SO mad at some of the idiotic comments on here. Please ignore those silly trolls, I know it’s not nice having people say horrible things about you but what they say is absolutely not true. Alex Turner said something about how he could be playing to a whole crowd of cheering people but he’d always spot that one person in the corner with a stony face not dancing and that would be what he thinks about, not all the people who were loving the gig. I get what he means, but I hope you don’t let those comments bother you and that you keep doing what you’re doing and don’t let them hold you back. They’re blatantly jealous you have a popular blog and loads of pals in the blogworld who genuinely care for you because you’re a lovely girl! Keep reading all the positive comments!
    ANYWAY this dress is super pretty, I love the bow. Hope you have the best holiday! Sorry for the massive comment haha xxx

    You are such an inspiration?

    Why is that?

    I honestly believe you deliberately posted these pictures as some sort of marker as when you come back home from holiday you will compare pictures to see if you have changed much.
    This is eating disorder logic.
    If these comments from varies people upset Laura then why doesn’t she stop the anonymous settings?

    Has anybody wondered if she has written some of these comments herself?

    Of course she hasn’t written the comments herself. Shes on holiday and has far better things to do with her time than make up stupid comments. Seriously you should stop picking on Laura and focus on your own life. Clearly your life is so crap you feel you must point the finger at others.
    Laura is doing her best to recover and shes does not need people like you leaving destructive comments. Laura’s blog is not about her eating disorder at all. She has had a hard few months and is doing all she can to keep going and get back on track.

    Please just stop leaving such nasty comments. You don’t know what you are talking about.

  43. Oh wow, this dress is really pretty. I have since read your second post and am pleased to hear your holiday is going well.

  44. that kitty is way too cute! cute dress btw girl πŸ™‚
