How amazing are these shoes from Chockers? The ultimate in statement feet at a bargain price too (£35 for the heels and £39.99 for the ankle boots)
What super powers would they give you?

A Note
I’m not easily provoked, and it is unfortunate that the latest wave of Anon comments came at a time where I had no home internet to defend myself…
I want to address the main issue that seems to be causing so much conflict; my weight.
I am a recovering Anorexic. I have never kept my illness a secret on my blog and I have no issues in it being public knowledge.
What bothers me is when people jump to conclusions without knowing me and accuse me of seeking attention or validation through my blog.
If you took the time to read back, or even drop me an e-mail (I don’t bite) you’d know that I have blogged consistently despite what stage I am at. Right now I am in the process, at long last, of gaining some weight back, and I have no intention of stopping blogging as soon as I hit healthy. I don’t only post pictures when underweight,
I posted leading up to my hospital admission, and straight after, depsite a massive change in my appearance. I don’t see why I should give up, or feel guilty for doing something I love just incase someone wants to make a decision about my supposed intentions without getting their facts straight.
I KNOW I’m not 100% right now, I know things need to change, and dammit, I cannot click my fingers and fix it over night no matter how much I wish I could. I’m sorry if my blog upsets or triggers some people, but I cannot and will not be held responsible for that. You make the choice to click on my page and I promise I will not be mortally offended if you choose not to view it,
in fact, I’d prefer it if you didn’t.
All I ask is think before you type. I do not need to be accused of flaunting a figure that I’m trying to change for the better, I’ve made several references of late to how I am trying to get well and put weight on…telling me how shit I look and what a bad, terrible influence I am isn’t going to change that. Blogging has been the one thing I have had throughout being ill, the one thing that wasn’t taken away from me. There’s a lot I’ve lost over the last ten years of my life and this won’t be one of them. If you don’t like that, then fine. If you have something to say, fine. Just don’t hide behind a mask…be brave enough to leave a name.
To those who have supported me and held me through the ups and downs. Thank you.
To the rest of you *shrugs*
there’s not much this post will change, no doubt. But I didn’t get the chance to defend myself in comments and this seems to cover most areas of concern.
Watch this space for the new and improved Laura. I’m getting there, slowly. Something is different this time, very different and I’m looking forward to sharing the adventures.

just a damsel in a dress
You really cannot beat a classic black dress, I’m loving how versatile this one from Damsel in a Dress is; as easily dressed down for work as it is for an evening out making it worth every penny of the £129 price tag (that and the amazing quality and luxe packaging it arrived in)
For those not familiar, Damsel in a Dress sells an array of luxury clothes and accessories including a drool-worthy collection of Ladies evening dresses
Next on my wish list is the Sally coat in Crimson (or Green, or Blue…) if my scratchcard luck holds up I may well own it soon, and all the other coats I’m currently crushing on. Where have you seen amazing ones lately?
Lets just take a moment to appreciate my shoes, too. They are the Aintree Ticket from Clarks and were sent to me by my favourite Diva. Clarks…you’ve come a long way lately.

The dress was sent to me c/o Damsel in a Dress for the purpose of this post.

Those Days
Yesterday was one of “those days” where six outfit later you still feel a mess and in a fit of frustration you throw on jeans and the baggiest top you can find (Oasis jeans and Bershka top). The redeeming factor to this was my new and slipper like comfortable Desigual Flats c/o Sarenza who ensured my feet, at least were happy in their attire.
I’m trying hard not to let “those days” drag me down. We all get them right? A sudden wave of insecurity over how we look and nothing looks right. I’m getting that a lot lately and it’s a learning curve to push through. I’m on an adventure to gain my weight and health back, pushing some boundaries I haven’t pushed before…it’s understandable that those days happen and slowly but surely I am getting there.
How do you deal with those days? My current and somewhat impulsive solution is to want to rush out and by a whole new wardrobe of clothes to drape myself in; unrealistic and impossible (and somewhat pointless if my shape is going to carry on changing for a while). Just because I feel bloated and that nothing fits anymore does not make it true.
What I AM doing is not putting pressure on myself to dress up, to embrace what feels comfortable and on the days I feel better…those are the days were I’ll be prancing around in a shorter dress and killer heels.
Blogging is theraputic too, getting perspective by seeing how I actually look in the photos I take, rather than the warped image I see in the mirror…it sounds odd, theraputic blogging, but I’m probably not the only one.
Mind over Matter.
I’ll get there…we’ll all get there.
