Hello! I’ve just popped up from my editing hole to say “Yay its Thursday Treats time!” The next issue of the magazine goes to print in a few days so I’m currently locked down and getting serious on checking proofs, dotting i’s, crossing t’s and making sure it’s as perfect as it possibly can be. WISH ME LUCK!
People have been begging me for a sneak peek of the new design too so here’s a little teeny one for you. Doesn’t it look amazing?! That Shauna sure is talented! I can’t wait to finally hold it in my hands.
If you haven’t already, you can pre-order a copy now . Issue 4 is released on September 3rd, shipping to the UK is free and we have less than 3/4 the stock allocated for online orders remaining! If you struggled to find one in any shops near you, or you don’t live in the UK, order one now or don’t you dare come crying to me when they’re all sold out!
I also joined Periscope this week. Are you on it? I did my first broadcast this afternoon (you can watch it here ) where I showed people my office, answered a ton of questions AND quickly showed one of the real wedding spreads in the magazine! It was so weird and fun! I usually groan when there’s a new social media to get to grips with, but this seems like it’s going to be super entertaining. Download the app and follow me (my name is RocknRollBride of course).

Thursday Treats: Christmas Shopping & Colourful Weddings

December 6, 2012
Happy Thursday my little muffins! The weekend is nearly upon us as we're edging closer and closer to the big C... oh yes I am so excited for Christmas already. We haven't got our tree up yet but - and this is a big but - I have managed to start my Christmas shopping which is always a huge weight off my shoulders. Does anybody else get Christmas shopping anxiety!? I never want to be the one to buy the rubbish gifts! Anyway, I've broken the seal this year and - shock horror - I've actually been enjoying it. I am on the look out for gift guides for geeky, picky and very specific long haired men though. Gareth is impossible to buy for! Any ideas?

Thursday Treats: Blissful Spa Days, Koala Cuddles and Surfing Beach Babes!

Well, Queensland you certainly haven't disappointed! After a 24 hour journey (London to Dubai to Singapore to Brisbane) I touched down in Australia just before 1am on Sunday morning. I was dreading having such a long flight but I need not have worried. I flew with Emirates, who I’ve never experienced before, and they were amazing! The planes not only had wifi (!!) but power outlets behind every seat… which, when you’re a computer addict like me is a total revelation! I spent most of my time in the air obsessively devouring Homeland episodes (my latest TV obsession) and writing – bliss!

I have no idea what's in store for me over the next three and a half weeks. Having such a packed schedule recently means that I've had little to no time to research much of what Gala, Shauna and I will be getting up to while we're down under. Thank goodness for Virgo friends who obsessively arrange everything on your behalf! All I do know is the week before our first class in Brisbane I've been promised a spa day, surfing lessons, koala cuddling and zip-wiring through a rainforest. WHAT!? Oh you bet ya I'll be reporting back on all this stuff when I return.

Thursday Treats – 26th July 2012: Hello Sunshine!
Kat
July 26, 2012
Wow, what a scorcher this week has been! I ain't complaining (honest!) but my productivity has gone waaaay down. That glorious sunshine outside my window has just been too darn tempting. I did purchase the brightest neon orange dress known to man though. I am seriously excited to wear blind people in this baby!
I also found out this week that I'm going to be featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine! I don't usually mention my press features here anymore but this is a really exciting one. I'm going to be profiled in their 'So you think you want my job?' section and oh boy I can't wait. Squeeeeeal!
But the biggest news of the week is that a truckload (literally) of copies of issue two of the Rock n Roll Bride print magazine are being delivered to our house tomorrow!! I know, I KNOW It's taken so flippin' long to get this project completed but oh boy it is gonna be worth it. I have a new found respect for anyone in the magazine industry. How they manage to pull together monthly editions is beyond me! Issue two is bigger, better and even more glorious than the first. Again, we've ordered a limited print run, so be sure to pop by the blog 9am on Monday to find out how you can get your hands on a copy! HOLY GUACAMOLE I MIGHT EXPLODE.
