This week my best friend in the whole world came to visit. Carly & I lived together for three years at Uni and she was my maid of honour…in fact we always said if things didn’t work out with me and Gareth we’d just go ahead get married. Anyway we hadn’t seen each other in like, actual forever, because we both have stupidly busy lives and cray cray jobs, but it was so awesome to hang out and be bestest friends again. Happy face!

We also bought these babies…it started as a joke but after wearing them for two days straight we’ve both decided that they’re the most comfortable and warmest things ever…and at only £12 from Primark, I’m happy to look a bit silly…

Yesterday I also hosted my second School of Rock (n Roll Bride), and thankfully for the students, not in the Santa onesie… Despite the first one going so well, the nerves came back full force, but again the twenty attendees were wonderful and cute and funny and lovely. Plus this time Gareth came too to answer the techy questions (hurrah!)

Talking of the workshops, I have been BLOWN AWAY by the emails, comments and messages I’ve recieved about taking this little show of mine on the road. I’ve had venue offers, people begging us to come to their hometowns and approximately a squillion general messages of encouragement…so yeah…it looks like it’s definitely going to happen. Watch this space my dears!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo! Happy December y’all! Am I allowed to get excited for Christmas now please?

This week has been a fan-tabi-locious one in this little wedding blogging world of mine, not least because one of my utter favourite (non wedding) bloggers La Carmina, who runs the most incredible Japanese fashion and lifestyle blog, ran a massive feature on yours truly and some of the gothic weddings I’ve featured, both on her blog and on Lip Service, a lifestyle webzine that she writes for. I am honoured. Thank you La Carmina!

Also, this week was The Photography Farm Christmas party in Brighton. We were instructed to wear something sparkly (I wore these babies) and to bring a secret Santa gift and prop for the photo booth. Oh much fun and boozing was had by all. I’ll share some photos on the Rock n Roll Bride Facebook page and twitter over the next few days if you’re interested.

And here come the rest of this week’s loveliness courtesy of the internets…

I need to make a big thing about this first link as I know many of you have been waiting with baited breath to order some of the new Vivienne Westwood/Melissa shoe styles that I blogged about in August… Well good news my lovelies, they are available to pre-order through hervia.com now!
