Remembering the summer days with these snaps. This skirt is from Wild and its vintage...And my bag is River Island. All this is paired with my docs of course!
I am hoping to talk a lot more about my disability in further posts, first I'm going to start with my condition - Hemiplegia. Many people are probably unaware of this and what it entails. I was born premature and almost died, I had to have open heart surgery to keep me alive. Hemiplegia is a condition that affects half of your body and is caused by parts of the brain being damaged. The most obvious effects of my condition is my foot, I limp and throughout childhood had to wear a splint and specialised footwear. I want to raise awareness of my condition, growing up was hard and I always stood out. I could never wear the latest fashions like my sister i.e flimsy footwear such as flip flops were a big no no! However, I want to show people that a disability is not a hindrance and you can still look and feel good with it! I love fashion and love dressing up - I refuse to let my disability stop this!

It has been super hot in England recently and now the thunderstorms have descended I thought I would make the most of it! This was just a bit of fun really, but the photos ended up coming out quite well! My dress is from the Vintage shop COW and it has a Victorian feel to it. I had to be careful not to look like a Victorian peasant so I paired it with my pink converse. And I love the fit of this dress- flatters your figure and all that! As you can see in this photo my left foot collapses slightly- this is because I have CP (cerebral palsy). CP, in my terms is brain damage from birth, and is something that affects me on a daily basis. Please keep reading if you want to find out more- because it is a topic very close to my heart and I would like to bring more awareness. Hope you're having a good weekend and maybe there is some sun near you! Lauren xx P.S here is a link to my Flying High Facebook page for Edinburgh ->...
