On Thursday 24th July I'm hosting a networking party for those that hate networking parties. My fellow Blogcademy headmistresses and 75 eager blogger babes will be swapping business cards, making friends, sipping cocktails, nibbling on macaroons and dominating the photo booth all night long! Gala, Shauna and I will also be doing a live Q&A session where we'll answer as many blogging and business questions as we can live on stage. Finally, you'll leave at the end of the night with an army of new blogging BFFs and a bulging goodie bag full of treats!

WIN Your Wedding Dress from Flaunt It by Fur Coat No Knickers!

Emma Case

June 16, 2014

It's no secret that I am a Fur Coat No Knickers super fan. Laura and Emma are the purveyors of the friendliest bridal boutique in the country. No joke, these babes are some of the nicest human beings you will ever meet. For years now they've been the go-to store for vintage wedding dresses, and in 2013 they expanded their range to include made to measure designs. All lovingly handmade in Britain, they wanted to be able to help every bride, whatever her shape or size. They love their vintage gowns, but with vintage sizing being stingy at the best of times, it was really hard for them to cater to anyone over a size 12.

One Love: An Inspirational Wedding Show for Gay & Lesbian Couples

Kat

Robbins Photographic

September 18, 2013

Although times they are a-changing, gay and lesbian couples have been long overlooked in the wedding industry. While there are many amazing wedding suppliers that cater for and love to work with same-sex couples, there has yet to be a really cool, all inclusive wedding event that all engaged couples - no matter their preferences - can go to and feel comfortable and accepted. Sure, there have been a few magazines and events dedicated to gay weddings, but (and I hate to say it) but most of the ones I've seen have been slightly cheesy and erring on the side of tacky.

Mama Wolf Makes Non-Shiny & Non-Cruddy Wedding Accessories for Dudes

Kat

May 28, 2013

Sometimes I read wedding blogs and wonder if there are even grooms involved in some of the weddings. I'm all for the girly stuff but I also really love to see a wedding where the couple have clearly worked together to plan the day. I mean, there's really nothing manly about pink peonies or soft tulle or teeny tiny little cupcakes... I know that I can be just as bad as the rest (I am a girl after all!) but I am also totally thrilled when I get the chance to talk about stuff for the dudes. So don't go forgetting your man when it comes to planning all things wedding, he's a big part of this day too remember and definitely needs to also look his super stylish best.

Detoxing, Getting Healthy & The Clean Program

Kat

Made U Look

May 21, 2013

As some of you will know, I spent time in Los Angeles in March, probably the most health-concious and cleanse-obsessed place on the planet. Its no secret that I'm a 'grab what's available' kinda eater, that I have a penchant for wine and gin and that I'm totally allergic to exercise. However while I was in the land of buffed bodies, I did surprise myself by becoming quite the green juice junkie (something I have kept up since returning home!) and I even started to think a little more about how I treat, and what I put into, my body.
