Sam and Jeremy's colourful wedding took place on November 2, 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana. They chose Paradigm Gardens, a cute little urban farm next to the interstate, as the venue. Sam wore a Chotronette dress while Jeremy was in a custom suit by Harper & Jones and in lieu of a large bridal party they each chose one 'best person'.Read more...

Today I'm off to Austin for the final US Blogcademy of 2013 - can you believe that? We've done a bunch of American dates this year which has been such an adventure, but I am really looking forward to hitting London after this - it'll be nice not to have to get on a plane for once!Read more...

I've been dropping clues all week but Friday's Instagram video might be the biggest one yet (I told you I was rubbish at keeping secrets). Be here tomorrow morning at 8am sharp (GMT) to find out for sure what I've been plotting...Read more...

It seems like a lifetime ago, but just as I'm ramping up to head off to America again this week, Made U Look Photography sent over the photos from our Disneyland adventure in April. I'd never been before and on hearing this revelation Gala encouraged... nay insisted that they take me there for my birthday. Well who am I to turn down an invitation like that?!Read more...

On a soggy Spring evening Lisa and I headed to London. It was Tuesday, and the night of the Cosmopolitan Magazine Superbloggers Masterclass. I was thrilled, honoured and damn right nervous as hell to have been asked to join an illustrious panel of experts at this prestigious event. The masterclass was a complete sell-out, with two hundred enthusiastic wannabe bloggers braving wind and rain to make it to The British Museum for the two-hour panel discussion and Q&A.Read more...

Bonjour mes petits amis! Well I'm finally back at my desk after two weeks of non-stop craziness with The Blogcademy gang. And although I'm missing my girls like crazy, I have to say it's pretty damn good to be home. My head is spinning with everything that's happened over the past fortnight. In fact it's whirring so much that I'm struggling to even form sentences...Read more...

I'm currently 35,000 feet in the air making my way across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City. I may already be a broken record about the fact that I'm going back but I don't care, I'm so excited I could burst!Read more...

On Friday Gareth & I packed up the car (again!) and drove down to Brighton (again!) for another School of Rock blogging workshop. The event was fabulous, my class were ace, and the whole thing left me with a warm n fuzzy feeling inside. As we drove away that night (slightly topped up with the celebratory after-workshop-wines - don't worry Gareth was driving!) I turned to him and gushed away about how incredibly blessed I feel. Like, how is this my life? As someone who tentatively dipped her little toe into the blogosphere all those years ago, I can't quite believe that people now line up to come and hear me speak about my journey. Like seriously... this is nutso. Even Darren Rowse of Problogger is singing my praises. Yeah no big deal or anything...Read more...

Disclaimer: I'm going to try and not make this post just a boring "er, wanna look at my holiday snaps" kinda blog post. Try I sad... One of my goals for 2012 was to push myself out of my comfort zone more, and to travel as much as possible. I've never been a huge traveller, but I strongly felt that in order to broaden my horizons and provide a more well rounded and interesting blog topics that starting to do more of it was important. So when Japanese travel and goth fashion blogger La Carmina, who I've spoken to online for the past 4+ years, asked if I wanted to join her in Prague for a few days I disregarded my feelings of trepidation and nerves and said hell yes!Read more...

What time is it? What country am I in? How do I form sentences again...? Greetings. This morning's blog post comes from a head that still hasn't quite got back on UK time. It may have been a week since I landed back at Heathrow, but I'm still finding it hard to get back on track! However waking up at 2pm and going to bed at 4am could work for me I reckon... Those of you that follow me on Twitter or Facebook will have been lucky (or unlucky, whichever way you look at it!) to have been force-fed regular updates from my Las Vegas adventure over the past few weeks, but today I thought it necessary to put off getting back to work just a little while longer in order to share some of my favourite photos and fun times from Viva Las Vegas. I'm sure some of you are sick to death of hearing all about it already...sorry about that...but for the rest of you I hope you enjoy this extra epic extra huge post dedicated to one of my new favourite places, the city they call Sin...Read more...

After the whirlwind of walking the catwalk at Omaha Fashion Week you'd think I might deserve a rest no? Well erm...no apparently I didn't. The following morning we were up bright and early for another busy day!Read more...

So I've been home from my American Adventure™ for a couple of weeks and after finally catching up with my 800+ emails and writing the magazine articles that were due like, the day after we got back...oh plus helping to organise and attending the amazing Feather Love Photography workshop in London (phew) I can finally sit myself down and try to begin to process the experience I had on the other side of the pond. Quite simply my mind is blown. I'm not sure any of my write-up posts are going to make a whole lot of sense actually. You know when you have such an incredible experience (like getting married I guess!) it's sometimes really hard to turn everything whirring around your head into a conscious stream information when telling people the story?! Therefore I apologise for any future rambly blog posts on this subject!Read more...

This is just a little teaser of what's to come next week... I'll be sharing my stories, photos and videos of my week in Omaha with Princess Lasertron. Nope, I can't wait for you to see it all either. PLUS and this is a big plus, I've got a seriously amazing Lasertron deal for you all...want a free felt bouquet? Well you can all have one...yeah you heard me! Be here on Monday at 3pm for the first hit of loveliness. Happy weekend!Read more...

As you read this Gareth & I will be 40,000 feet in the air, flying over the Atlantic and heading home after our Amazing American Adventure™. To say we've had the time of our lives would be an understatement.Read more...

As most of you will know, I'm currently on my first American tour (OK it's not really a 'tour' per-say as I'm only going to two places but that sounds fancy right!?) This past week I've been in Omaha for their annual fashion week. I was invited by the way-too-cool Megan Hunt better known as Princess Lasertron to model a limited edition Rock n Roll Bride dress (that she would design and make especially for me and the readers of Rock n Roll Bride) in her runway show to debut her Fall 2011 collection. She quite frankly didn't have to ask me twice. I grabbed Gareth and we hot-footed our way to the US of A.Read more...

A couple of weeks ago I was invited by Candy Anthony to visit their shop to check out (and try on!) some of their latest dress designs. Like I was going to turn that down! Here are a few of my favourites that I tried on...How lucky am I!?Read more...

At the beginning of July I was contacted by the lovely people at Upper Street Shoes. My interest was immediately sparked. "Wait? I get to design my own shoes?" I replied, "AMAZING!" To say I became somewhat obsessed with their website for the remainer of the day would be a huge understatement (and no I didn't get any more work done...) I probably designed about 20 pairs of shoes before the day was out! It was super easy and super duper fun. Jimmy Choo has nothing on me I tell ya!Read more...
