Hello my dears and welcome to the first Thursday Treats of the new decade! Just as big, just as inspiring and just as fit to bursting with links and fun a-plenty. Let’s crack on shall we?

♥ 2010 may only be in it’s infancy, but it has so far been a very exciting year for Rock n Roll Bride! Not only was I featured in Cosmopolitan Bride, was included in Bride Tide’s prestigious ‘100 Wedding Blogs (and Twitters) to Follow in 2010′ awards, (#1 under the ‘Offbeat’ section – hell yeah!) but I was lucky enough to be asked to model for the infamous Julia Boggio and her Vintage Boudoir series. I braved the snow yesterday and headed up to her Wimbledon studios for a day of fabulous retro hair & make up, styling to die for and to pose and pout my little ass off. I can not wait to share all the details and the photographs, but for now, why not check out my sneak peak shots that I took of (some!) of my outfits with my new favourite toy.

Trash It!

With the entries for the trash the dress contest coming in thick and fast (have you got yours in yet? You have until next Sunday to do so!) I thought it only right to tease you all just a little bit more and show you exactly what kind of photographic awesomeness you can expect if you win the contest! Oh yeah baby…I’m seriously jealous of whoever wins already.

The best thing about blogging has got to be all the amazing people I have met and the second best thing has to be when those amazing people not only want to work with me but want to give you something too! Today’s day of ruffles is culminating in the best of the lot! Oh yes, Michi Calica of Toccata specialises in stunning bridal fashion, accessories and florals which she sells from her beautiful Etsy Store.

“These creations are specially designed for the sassy bride-to-be,” Michi says ”and for special guests at her dream wedding. I design finely crafted wedding dresses, boleros, silk flower fashion accessories, party purses and top quality fresh water pearl jewelry that will make your heart sing.”

And oh they do, just check out the a-a-aaaaaaamazing ‘White Orchid Bolero’ that Michi has donated as a giveaway for the readers of Rock n Roll Bride! Are you swooning over those delicate chiffon ruffles? Hell, I know I am!

To enter, go check out her Etsy Store and then come back and comment below telling me what you think. My favourite comment will win a bolero in your choice of colour (winter white or ivory) and size worth $178!
