Craving Normality

It's nice to be back.  My darling Pixie-face has been very very ill and we have recently had to spend four days and nights at the Children's Hospital whilst the fabulous staff there worked their magic and made her well again.  The poor angel has severe chronic asthma which is exacerbated by a cough, cold or virus.  It seems that babies always have a snuffle or a cough and my babe is no exception so we feel like we're constantly waiting for the next asthma attack.

This most recent attack was by far the most severe that she's experienced.  She was very poorly and there was talk of admitting her to the ITU Ward and putting her on a ventilator.  Thank god that wasn't necessary and instead she was rigged up to two intravenous drips and kept on the High Dependency Ward.   We were finally allowed to bring her home on the fourth day.  It was an incredibly stressful week for us and the rest of the family.  We didn't see our beloved Peachy for four days, Himself was trying to manage his business (he's a builder) from his iphone and I, of course, had to write-off work for the entire week.  Thankfully I have a great employer and as well as the daily texts asking how the patient was doing, they also arranged for a weekly shop from Waitrose to be delivered to our home.  How thoughtful is that?!

Aside from all this of course, is the trauma and upset that my poor girl has to endure.  I really really hope that she grows out of this.  It's dreadful seeing her so distressed and frightened.

My darling, finally on the road to recovery

So life appears to be back to normal, for the time being at least.  Pixie seems well at present, we've increased her inhalers and are due to see a respiratory specialist this week.  Clearly I've had no time (or inclination if I'm honest) to do any fashion posts although I did go to a party on Friday night with friends and was planning on posting the outfit I wore then.  Intention is a wonderful thing - however, several vodka and orange juice's in, taking a picture of my outfit was absolutely the last thing on my mind so it never happened!

Blurry, drunken and shambolic - but it's the best I can do

This is what I wore:

playsuit from Topshop

worn with a skinny tan belt, super high black leather gladiator sandals, black asymmetric biker, tan leather clutch and lots of gold jewellery.


Happy Monday people x
