Even Superheroes Get Ill...




Apologies for the sudden slump in posting, I will hopefully be back on track soon with Essentials Part Two. I went to hospital yesterday morning for treatment, which I currently get every 6-8 weeks. However after some blood tests, my doctor declared me 'too unwell' to go ahead with my treatment, and sent me home. Now in my head, something about that does not quite make sense, but then again I am not a doctor. Anyways, I am currently stuck in bed feeling rather uncomfortable, nevertheless I would rather be in my own bed than in these not so delightful surroundings (and no, the leather handbag is not mine, it belongs to my mother):


As is also my luck, when I returned from hospital yesterday, I hobbled up to my bedroom only to find my camera lying broken on the floor. My one and half year old nephew loves cameras, unfortunately his handling skills are somewhat lacking. However, every cloud has a silver lining, so I have decided to upgrade. With the relatively low budget I have, I am thinking of going with one of the Fujifilm Finepix range, like this delightful model:


I thought I would share these two wonderful photographs, which are the last I took with the camera that is currently serving as my nephew's newest toy.



Check back soon for my next Essentials Post!

Currently playing: Miss Independent - Neyo (the third track to be released from his new album, out in September, check it out - prize to anyone who can recognise where the instrumental is from!)

Those pictures are stunning! I hope you get the camera of your dreams. I think I must be as delicate with mine as your nephew was with yours, I've dropped it so many times it has a dent and the flash doesn't work! I should probably get it checked out...
Feel better soon. That's really terrible that you were too ill for treatment...kinda ironic statement don't you think?

elle said...

that fugifilm camera looks pretty schweet! also loving the new 'inspire me' box, but isn't it lacking in chuck bass?!

emily said...

aww, i hope you feel better! and that's a shame about your camera, but the new camera looks awesome. and i love your photographs!

Ida said...

Get better soon!

Those photographs are really stunning, and although it is a pity the camera got killed, at least it IS a very good excuse to invest in a new one.

Sorry to hear you aren't doing so well. :( I hope you get well soon. I can't believe your nephew with the camera :/ well maybe now you will find something you like even more? I try to be positive and think that things happen for a reason. Usually a good one. Get well soon. And thanks for taking the time to leave such wonderful comments!! ^_^

La Femme Chic said...

Oh! I hope you feel better soon! And those pictures are breathtaking!

michelle said...

Aww. It's sweet how you always try to find the bright side in things. What exactly does "too unwell" mean anyway? (rhetorical :P) I have health problems too and I just hate leaving with more questions than upon arrival. Just try to rest up and drink lots of fluids :) And ooh that new camera looks fancy, good luck!

the fashion asisstant and her camera said...

The photographs are amazing!!!! I was thinking of getting that fujifilm camera but it won't last me long term :(

Thanks for the comment re the london paper thingy, I kept getting texts and phone calls saying 'Kit, you're famous!!!' etc hahahaha

fashion herald said...

what gorgeous, lush photos.
take care of yourself, and yes, at least you're not in the hospital bed! Let your mom pamper you, yes?

Dang said...

I love your photography. I hope you feel better soon, and enjoy that new camera. :)
I shall think positive healing thoughts for you; perhaps you might feel them resonating through your head today. ^___^

That Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd is a great camera. I am contemplating getting one myself. Here in Holland it goes for around 219 Euro.

You make some great pictures and compliments on your very cool blog.

Hope you get well soon!

Imelda Matt said...

what a stay in hospital without a little Benny Hill carry-on! I hope your up and blogging soon...take care!

Ildikó said...

duuuude. I do worry about how poorly you are. I guess if you're on immuno-suppressants then you can be 'too ill for treatment' and anything else that's quite aggressive.

Your poor camera- your nephew is jolly cute though.

P.S. I promise not to reveal your secret identity on this 'ere blog. x

The Clothes Horse said...

Oh, with two older sisters I also know ALL about the pains of handmedowns. It was particularily unfortunate when one sister when through a neon and black color combination phase...so not me.

oh I'm sorry about your camera, and i hope you feel better.
If the doctor strikes you as a bit sketch, try getting a second opinion.
Anyway, I really enjoy yourr postings. If its not too much trouble, keep them coming!

CoutureCarrie said...

Oh darling just take care of yourself and feel better (I am so sorry to hear about the camera - nephews can be quite pesky!).

I hope you get better soon and find yourself the best camera you can get. All my relatives have been babies destroying my things at some point, I revenge by sending the newest babies in to their room when they grow up. And again. Get better.
