It’s the weekend! We made it! What are your plans? Once I’ve made this post, I’m off to pay a visit to my grandparents…I love spending time with them and I’m lucky that they have always lived nearby.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to you all for your kind, thoughtful comments and e-mails regarding my visit to the unit.
It went…well? Not sure that’s the right word! Everything feels very real now, and reading all your messages helped a lot.
It’s hard to know when blogging just how much of your personal life to share, and it was certainly never my intention to drag my illness in to it when I first started this site. However, you can’t ever predict something like this, and there is, right now, no hiding from the fact it has taken over damn near every aspect of my days…when it got to the point of people expressing concern, I made the decision to “come clean”
and it’s times like yesterday…and now, when I need all the support I can get and you wonderful people come through with it by the bucket load that I’m confident I made the right choice.
People have asked about writing to me whilst I’m in there. I would love it if you wanted to, honestly, as although I’ll have my laptop for DVDs and music, there is very bad internet connection, if any…and a break from the online world is probably very much needed
(though it’ll pain me to put this blog on hiatus for what could be months).
So, if you’d like to write, then drop me an e-mail and I’ll give you directions!
Enough with the deep stuff now
(sorry if I have bored you to death, I’ll try and keep it to a minimum after this post)
Here’s what I wore yesterday. A very spring-like outfit despite a serious amount of imagination being required to believe it is indeed spring outside.
(this necklace was a birthday gift from a very special girl)
Have a wonderful weekend my loves,
next week will most likely bring an onslaught of last Saturday’s purchases and a couple of reviews!

Yay! Another weekend! I think you’re a wonderful girl and we’re here for you! Love your dress and your tights! xxoxoxoxoxo
I love all of the colours in your outfit! Especially the shoes.
Don’t worry about possibly having to take a break from blogging, we’ll all still be here waiting to start reading again when you get back!
Laura, just wanted to send you big hugs! You are a brave and wonderful girl and I can’t wait till you start getting better.
P.S. Love your new header x
That’s such a pretty necklace 🙂
I dont really have plans for the weekend but you’ve reminded me how much I miss my grandparents 🙂
Enjoy your weekend =)
I love your outfit very very much 😀 But maybe I love the new banner even more 😉
And don’t think you’re bothering us with your illness, because beside the fact that it is there, there is also a fact you’re doing the best you can to beat it, and you are an inspiration to all of us.
We’re going to miss you when you’re in the unit, but hopefully it will be a huge step towards recovery. Will be thinking of you!
That’s a lovely dress xx
I’m glad that you decided to share this in your blog. You have SO many readers who absolutely adore and care about you, and you can definitely count on us for all the moral support you need
xxxooo
P.S. will email you soon!
Hey there
Just wanted to say hope things go well for you in the hospital. I am glad that by you talking about your illness you have received lots of support from around the world – shows that people care for you and want you to get well.
Good luck, and I look forward to seeing another post from you soon.

It really takes a lot of courage to be so honest, especially people you don’t ‘know’. You are amazing, love.
Also, the colours in this are just lovely to the max. :]
Gorgeous! The trim on the dress that is just apparent in the last photo is so, so pretty.
Happy weekend. I like your new header.
My darling,

I love the new header. When did you change it? Please say it was recently…or I feel old for not noticing earlier.
Don’t forget to email me number, address before you go. Will write you :))

You look so pretty and springlike that you’d never guess how vile it is outside.

I haven’t stopped by your blog in so long – I love your new header.
I hope going into the unit proves helpful. How long for? I took some time out last February and it changed my life. Hope this sets you on the road to recovery. Sending you love and hugs…
Chloe xx
that tight and shoe combination is stunning. 🙂 and have fun with your grandparents!
Oh my gosh oh my gosh 🙁 sweetie stay strong, we’re all here for you. Good luck with recovering, at least you have a lovely new suitcase to bring your stuff in heh (read your gift post a few posts down). I have been so out of touch with everything and didn’t know what was going on. Thank you for your constant sweet comments, I’m so lucky to have you as a reader 🙂 Keep in touch and keep us updated if you can? Maybe you could twitter from your phone? Although as you say, a break from the real world might be a good thing.
Love and hugs,
Z xxx

Kisses,
Stephanie

love the layering!

This is YOUR blog and you should be able to say whatever you want on it. I to have grown concerned over the past monthes, but the most important thing is that you realize you need help and are more than willing to accept it. I’m proud of you for being strong and allowing us to see a more personal part of yourself. On a more superficial note the pink and gray look amazing together. Wishing you nothing but the best!
lots of love,
indigo
First step hun! You can do this! Just think of the day you walk out and how great you will feel. Isn’t it funny how we’ve all never met you yet feel we know you? Does that even make sense?! This illness is awful and you can totally kick its arse!
Hugs!
Blog header looks wicked btw!
stay strong, gorgeous! 🙂 you can you can you can.
you look absolutely stunning here, too 🙂
xx
YOur blog looks fresh with that header, it suits your personality love 🙂
I wish you best on the time of your duration in the hospital. We’ll all be here to give you moral support and I’m amazed how you handle the situation, very brave of you hun.
Keep us posted okay? xoxo
Cheer up my dear. While my mum was in hospital the bed opposite her was filled by a girl with your problem and it was so wonderful to see her improve over the time my mum was getting better. This will help, I promise.
You are very brave for getting help, I hope your recovery in hospital goes well and quick, we’ll all be eagerly awaiting to see you well again! x
Love gray worn with pink! Blue and yellow are nice touches too, a little unexpected but very refreshing! Love dthe maxi in your previous post too!
praying for you, I would love to write while your in hospital. Is there some address at the hospital we can use or is it ok to use your home address?
big hug
xx
marian.

Hey hun,
I’ve been on holiday so haven’t commented in ages. I just wanted to say I admire you for being so brave. To get where you are takes a lot of guts. I wish you all the luck in the world.
Thinking of you
Love Jojo xxxxx
I have this dress in a different print.
I wish I’d gotten the pink one now!
Best of look for your treatment, hope it all goes well.
Oh, such a fairy tale outfit! I’ll be keeping you only in my best thoughts and wishes!
iamemmamusic.blogspot.com
just worry about taking care of you.
hugs. hugs. hugs.
I love seeing color and this outfit simply looks great on you!
Take your time. I’ll still be here to read your blog.
You are beautiful.
LOVE!
Yay for your beautiful pictures and your beautiful words! It is odd to find out how much to divulge on the blog… but, I have found blogging to be a great place for support- reading glimpses into everyone’s lives really helps to care for them. I do wish you all the best in the world- I think I will message you as well. Admitting you have a problem can be hard obviously but it shows much more control and wisdom to do so and deal with it then to continue to let it spiral out of control 🙂
We all love you and are hoping for the best for your recovery!
Hope everything get better from now on. You deserve it* The necklace is divine, so delicate and feminine**love it
Very honest and candid post, I know what it’s like to be on the brink of this illness, and it’s not a simple case of ‘snapping out of it’ as some people say. You’re doing the right thing lovely, and hopefully you’ll get to a point where you can enjoy your life without anything getting in the way.
I’ve got your postcard ready to be sent, I’ll email you about writing to you when you’re at the unit too, would be great!
You’re so very brave for putting yourself out there, “coming clean” as you said. And well worth it, because look at how many of us are in your corner! We’ll be sending healthy vibes your way, and I’m so glad you’re taking the needed steps to getting better! ♥
Jewelry is very personal. you have shown ur necklace in a fascinating way. You could also browse through angara.com . There are affordable jewelry options that they have and one could also get them customized as they want.
