Happy Boxing Day one and all. I hope you’re feeling suitably rested, stuffed and that yesterday was all kinds of lovely. This is always one of my favourite times of year because I get to hear about all the festive engagements! Did any of you find a sparkler under the tree!?
I don’t know about you, but I think this is the perfect time to get involved in all things Rock n Roll Bride because with a brand-new year (no, DECADE!) right around the corner we have such big and exciting things planned (ahem Rock n Roll Bride Live!)This new issue also marks the five year anniversary of the magazine (WHAT, WHAT!?) I can’t quite believe we’ve now produced 30 of these babies. Seriously, five years?! Where the hell did the time go!?
Here’s a little sneaky peek of just some of the content you’ll find inside issue 30…And yes, that is a real bride gracing our cover. What a bloomin’ mega BABE. Just you wait until you see the rest of her Vegas wedding, too. I mean damnnnn.
Black Friday has been intense this year… In fact, it’s been more like a Black November with so many businesses and brands extending their discounts. I’m not sure I’m wholly supportive of this technique but none-the-less it is excellent news if you have a wedding to plan and pay for! Here’s a round up of some of the best Black Friday deals I’ve seen.
If you’re planning to come to Rock n Roll Bride Live then this is THE weekend to buy your tickets. Every single one of you that books a ticket between now and midnight on Monday will get a FREE SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK (Ts & Cs can be found here).
Crown and Glory has 20% off their ENTIRE SITE including the whole of the Rock n Roll Bride collection (this even includes custom orders 😱)
Get your cute butt down to WHSmiths, Sainsburys or your local newsagent and treat yo’self to the only wedding magazine worth reading (FACT!) The current issue is in UK stores from today! International babes, there has been a slight delay on some of the overseas shipments, so if you haven’t been able to find the last issue yet, keep checking, our stockists should have them very soon! If you can’t bear to wait any longer then you can still order a copy, or subscribe, directly from us.
Do you ever wonder how different your life would look if you had to confidence to ask for that promotion, start that business, talk to that person at a party? Do you ever wish you loved your body more? Are you terrified of being the centre of attention at your wedding or are you worried about making a fool of yourself all the time? Do you ever feel like you can’t show people the real you because you’re scared of what they’ll think or say? Maybe you don’t even know who the real you is because you’re too afraid of finding out?
The reality is that we are ALL capable of being confident and living the lives that we really, truly want. Confidence is not a personality trait; confidence is a skill. Some of the most outgoing and extroverted people are incredibly insecure. Just because someone is loud or bossy doesn’t mean they believe in themselves or have the courage to follow their dreams. Whereas many introverts are extremely self-assured, are happy in their own company and feel confident in their abilities.
If it doesn’t come naturally to you, uncovering your inner confident babe may feel like an impossible feat, but I promise you that it’s not. I spent years and years hating every single thing about myself. I spent so much time wishing I was someone else. I spent a decade with a debilitating eating disorder that controlled my life and stole my sense of self-worth entirely.
You need a roadmap, you need a guide, you need someone to hold your hand and tell you that you’re doing GREAT. You need to get back in touch with yourself, marvel at your own originality and make the relationship you have with yourself a priority.
The Confidence Club will show you EXACTLY how to do that.
I am a completely different person than I was even a year ago and I am so pumped and ready to share everything I’ve learnt and done to get here because I want you to do the same!
It’s my favourite time of the month because the brand new issue of Rock n Roll Bride magazine is now on sale! Hop, skip and jump your way down to your nearest WHSmiths, Sainsbury’s or cool ass independent newsie and pick this baby up! And if you can’t find a local stockist, fret not baby doll because you can still order one directly from us with FREE UK SHIPPING. We’re getting close to selling out of our stock of this issue already (what WHAT!?) so if you do wanna have one delivered to your door grab it TODAY.
Rock n Roll Bride magazine was launched in print in January of 2015. In a time when print was ‘dying’ and other magazines were going digital-only, we did the opposite. We’d been a blog for nearly a decade but I was ready for a new challenge, and with everything in my life it would seem, I wanted to buck the trend.
28 issues on and we’re still going from strength to strength, but today’s announcement may just be the biggest we’ve ever made (so far!) I am SO FREAKIN’ OVERJOYED to tell you that Rock n Roll Bride magazine is expanding. From the next issue onwards we are going to be sold in stores in America, Canada AND Australia!!!
THAT’s RIGHT, you’ll now be able to find the magazine in Barnes and Noble in the US, Indigo Bookstores in Canada and select independent book shops and newsagents in the US, Canada and Australia. I know, I know, there are NO WORDS to express just how exciting this is!
One of the things I get asked lots is if we’d ever expand and start selling the magazine overseas (especially in the US) which always made me laugh a little bit because we feature content from all over the world and we ship worldwide, but still, even in 2019, there is a demand to have print products available to purchase in physical stores (plus those international shipping rates can be rough). However even in the UK, where we ship for free, around half of our readers still go out every other month and pick up their copy in a shop rather than ordering it online. I guess there’s still something so satisfying and cool about finding the magazine you want in a store, picking it up and paying for it in person. Wild, huh?
This issue will be in UK stores from September 5th. It’ll appear on US newsstands from October 10th, in Canada from October 20th and Australia from November 19th!
If you are based in these countries and have a subscription or would prefer to order via our website, you still can. Also, if you order during the pre-sale or first few weeks of each issue going on sale, you’ll probably receive your copy before you’ll be able to find it in a shop (the nature of distributing overseas means the availability will be behind the UK release dates. They gotta travel over in a huge container ship!) But nonetheless this is a pivotal moment for Rock n Roll Bride and I COULD NOT BE MORE ECSTATIC ABOUT IT.
OK, OK enough confetti canons, here’s a little cheeky peek at what you’ll find inside this brand new issue. As always you’ll find over 100 pages of real wedding and style inspiration…
