A woman obsessed with the colour pink has spent £4,000 funding her Barbie-themed wardrobe and even dyes her food to match her style. Holly Weymouth, 28, has always loved pink and collected Barbie dolls from a young age.
Her passion for all things pink began when she was in her early 20s - when she reconnected with her ''lost'' childhood. Holly - who works in retail - was diagnosed with epilepsy aged five, which she suffered with into her mid-teens.
Due to hospital appointments she didn't attend school very often and so was unable to make many friends. She has since grown out of her childhood epilepsy and now lives ''her best life'' enjoying visits to all-pink locations - such as bakery, Peggy Porsche and EL & N cafe, both in London - in her matching clothes.
She refuses to sign any documents unless she can use pink ink, and listens to Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' to help get into the zone when wearing her themed outfits. The self-confessed pink fanatic, who is in a long-term relationship, from Surrey, said: "People come up to me all the time and tell me I look like a little doll, which I love.
''I felt like my childhood was robbed from me so I suppose in some way I'm recreating that now. When I was at school I was really badly bullied, and it's only later in life I've made friends.
"My epilepsy was a childhood form that was brought on when I was anxious and stressed, but luckily I've had no fits in around eight years now. I've always loved pink and Barbie from a young age and used to have lots of the dolls.
''People might think it's all a bit weird and that it's a waste of money but my pink life makes me so happy and I know I deserve that.'' Reconnecting with her inner child through her ''pink lifestyle'', Holly is now in much better health and is able to embrace her passions - something she wasn't able to do growing up.
"It was in my early 20s I started to dress more extreme. My favourite item is an all-pink Zara co-ord.
"I do get lots of nasty looks, but also lots of nice comments too. I would say about 90 percent of my wardrobe is pink, and I've spent £4,000 working on my collection.
"Most of my money goes on pink clothes and accessories, and I've probably spent that over five or six years. I also buy from second hand sites like eBay and Etsy, and I love a bargain from a charity shop.
"My family think I'm weird, but they're used to me. They're supportive, but they're all very generic, I'm the kooky one who's the black sheep of the family."
Holly's boyfriend is also very much involved in her pink lifestyle, looking up pink locations to visit, where he'll help Holly take photos for her Instagram. "He'll go shopping with me and help me pick my outfits, and always buys me pink accessories if he sees something he thinks I'll like," she said.
Holly loves to look online and plan out her outfits so she can find the perfect looks, and loves visiting pink coloured cafes and restaurants to show them off. When out and about, Holly will always choose pink related drinks where she can, such as strawberry milkshakes and pink Lucozade.
"My family and friends have always known I've been weird. I refuse to use plasters or bandages unless they're pink, unless it's a complete emergency.
''I have pink nails and lipstick, of course. My boyfriend really likes my style thankfully.'' As well as clothes, Holly's love for pink stretches out into other parts of her life too.
"I only use pink pens. And by that, I mean the ink has to be pink too, I have one with me that I take everywhere.
"I have a few pairs of pink Barbie pyjamas I love too." At home, Holly even likes to dye her food pink, holding regular pink tea parties.
She said that foods that are pink just taste better to her. "Anything I can dye pink I will," she added.
"I regularly put food colouring into my pasta sauce, I just prefer food when it's pink. Most of my thoughts throughout the day consist of pink and if I was able to make the world completely pink I think it would be a better place."
