Kitsch








I am currently covered head to toe in hives, so instead enjoy these pictures from last week, when I was still normal.

Look at that innocent face! Little did last-week-me know I was going to react negatively to a generic form of a medication I just got switched to. It all started early Sunday morning (like, 3 a.m. early Sunday morning, yo) when I woke up nauseous. Then, Sunday evening I began getting itchy and bust out the hives. I decided to stop taking the pillz and switched back to my old ones the next day...but apparently it's taking a while for the old stuff to get out of my system, as I'm still full of the rash. Unfortunately, I'm also allergic to most common allergy meds, so I'm just grinning and bearing it (and swearing a lot, when the itching gets really bad) on my own. Today's been better than yesterday, so hopefully I'm on the road to recovery.

I haven't been online very much because of this, and I know I have a flood of emails sitting in my inbox. I'm off to go sift through them now, please bear with me! Oh oh oh and thank you to Emma at Daily Clothes Fix for giving my blog an award...she's got an awesome and very inspiring blog herself, so be sure to check it out!

  6. ooo yuck! sounds horrible. I hope you feel better. Love that bangle (of course it's Free People, nice!) and your casual integration of boots with your dress. The dress has such a summery feel, but you've made it work in the snow =)

  10. Oh no! Sorry to hear about your hives! I hope you get some relief soon. That sucks you can't take allergy medication for it. What about calamine lotion?

    On a brighter note, I'm loving your sweater and skirt! And I always enjoy your pictures.

  11. Okay so this is so weird. I actually left that comment above lol but i was signed into Funny Face Beauty's account because I'm judging one of her makeup contests and have access to her gmail. I didn't sign out before i typed my comment so it showed up as "funny face beauty." Oh dear.

  24. Sorry to hear about your hives :( Sometimes I get something and I still have no idea what it is... think it may be a food intolerance or something :S I hate the itchiness! It kills not being able to scratch! Arghhh! And all the anti allergy stuff doesn't work for me either :(

    Hope it clears up soon and that the itchiness calms down x x
