Summer Wish list

First of all i would like to say sorry for the minimum photo/photography posts. The camera i use Isn't working great at the moment. Plus i haven't had the energy or motivation to get up and take photos recently as i'm still pretty ill, so to make up for that, i thought i would do a summer wishlist! 
I know this isn't exactly summery but i have been looking for months for a disney sweatshirt like this! And now i have FINALLY found one! Happy happy happy :) Thanks asos!
I actually bought this top a couple weeks ago and i wore it on my birthday with some jeans and my new pink palladiums my sister got me for my birthday. It's not a top i thought would be comfy and fit nice but it actually does. I got it in a size 16 because i knew topshop sizes can be small but it's actually baggy which is a bonus. 
I know i would never wear these shoes but i just think they're just so gorgeous! You know when you see something so nice which you don't need and know you won't wear it but you just need it because it's so pretty? yeah thats what im like with these shoes. These are also from topshop.
When it's summer, one thing i hate the most is staying indoors watching bad day time tv and doing nothing. I like to be out and about doing things in the sun. I can't really do much this summer because of my health but it's still nice to go out for an hour or so and just give down in the sun with a picnic maybe. I saw this bag on asos and thought it would be perfect for days out to put my instax mini 8 camera in and film, maybe some food and drink. It's a bit on the pricey side but who doesn't like to treat themselves once in a while?
I'm a sucker when it comes to big chunky round sunglasses. I think they are a must have for summer. Especially if you are going on holiday. I have some gorgeous sunglasses but unfortunately they broke a while back and they're getting a bit worn down but i still love them. Topshop have been doing well with their summer range this year. I don't usually like it but they have done good this year!
These are very summery either but i am so excited for Vans new disney range this year. If you know me you know i love everything and i mean EVERYTHING disney and i really can not wait for this!!! Van's are my favourite shoe brand as well so it makes it even more perfect!

Getting back on track

Since the beginning of February i haven't been very well. It all started off with a small rash on my leg and within a week is had spread and covered both my legs, my hips and the bottom of my back. The rash always made my joints (ankles and knees) swell to the point i couldn't walk. In the end i had to go to A&E to see what they thought it could be. They first thought it was a bacterial infection and sent me home with antibiotics. But it still hadn't gone and by this point it spread to my arms. I got referred to see a dermatologist and he diagnosed me with henoch-schonlein purpura (or hsp for short). He said it would clear up within a week and that it was on its way out of my system, just had to keep an eye on my kidneys every couple months or so because one of the main complications with hsp is kidney problems. Anyway, a week past and i was getting worse. I woke up one morning with extreme abdominal pain and nothing was taking the pain away and the rash just got worse as well. I soon went to the doctors at the start of the week and he thought it was cramps so he gave me something to take and said it will go within a few days when taking these tablets, but it didn't. On that weekend we had to call for an ambulance because the pain was so extreme i wasn't eat and i couldn't take any medication or pain killers because i couldn't hold anything down, i was just sicking them back up. So the ambulance took me to hospital on an iv drip of morphine to take the pain off on the way there. When we got to hospital, they gave me a bit more morphine and then a drip of paracetamol and anti sickness. I was there for at least 5 hours before they sent me home with anti sickness tablets and co-codamol. I had my fingers crossed that the pain would go or at least die down within that week because the Thursday (19th of March) i was getting my tonsils taken out. The operation went very well and the abdominal pain thankfully died down whilst i got my tonsils out. The day i got discharged from taking my tonsils out, it all started again. I couldn't hold any of my medication down, any pain killers for my tummy or throat, any food or water. So we had no choice but to ring the ambulance again. They came and same as last time, gave me morphine through a drip on the way there and when i arrived at the hospital, they put me on a drip of fluids because of how much i was sick it made me very dehydrated. The doctor decided to admit me to hospital to keep an eye on me and make sure i had lots of iv fluids as i wasn't eating or drinking anything. I was in hospital for a week and 3 days. Having scans and blood tests and after all that time, they finally found the reason why i'm always in so much pain. They found out that the rash on my skin is also in my intestines which makes them swell and where the blood vessels burst they bleed. They sent me home with very strong painkillers and anti sickness tablets. I know i'm always going to have this but it comes in waves, sometimes it can go for a while but then come back and thats something i'm going to have to live with but if i look after myself and eat properly it shouldn't be so bad. Since being ill i have lost a stone and a half in weight, not the best way to lose weight but from now on, i'm fit and healthy. Even if your not ill you should always look after yourself to make sure you don't get ill. Being in hospital for that long was so draining and horrible and i hope i never have to stay there again.

Room Tour

i have only just noticed that you guys haven't seen where i spent most of my time and where i do my blog posts, i am very sorry. You can find me in my room 80% of the time. I'm not the sort of teenager who spends most of my time in my room with the door shut doing "teenager things". But i will admit, i do spend majority of the time in my room when my boyfriend is over.
 Well this is my random bits and bobs everywhere room. Everyone is saying i am slowly turning into my mum  with bits and bobs and dangly things everywhere and i say i'm not but i can see where they're coming from now..... 
 I wouldn't really say i'm a messy person, i like things to be neat and tidy and know where everything is. It may not exactly look like it but i promise you i know where everything is in my room!! Well 98% of the time i do.

 This where dexter (my hamster) stays. He is one messy hamster though, we only cleaned him out yesterday and he's already made a mess in his cage. I still love him though :)

Best for last, this is my picture wall of me and Dan. There isn't much because i haven't had chance to print all the photos out we have together but these are my favourites ^-^

2015 is finally here and thank god 2014 is over! Im not one for making new years resolutions and actually sticking to them but i hope i stick to this one. I have decided that my new years resolution is to start blogging and using my camera a hell of a lot more. To start off the new year, i thought i would do a list of my favourite outfits of 2014. I may do this at the start of every year just to look back on how things have changed and how i have changed.
