Greetings from hangover HQ! Last night I was in Brighton on my first Christmas party of the year with the Photography Farm crew. There was a photo booth, karaoke and wine... oh so much wine. It was an utter blast but of course I'm suffering for it today. In fact all I'm really capable of is lounging on the sofa and indulging in some lovely internet procrastination - won't you join me?Read more...

One of the coolest shops I visited during my time in Australia was My Delirium in Melbourne. A visual onslaught in its OTT décor, it is a treasure trove of vintage sequins, fur and psychedelic prints laid across two sprawling floors. Clearly I was in heaven as soon as I walked through the door. Although I left empty handed it was certainly worth a visit just to gawp alone. If you're in Melbourne any time soon you definitely have to check it out!Read more...

BRR!! Talk about stating the obvious but oh England you are so cold! I landed back in the UK on Tuesday morning and after nearly a month in balmy (or at least nicely mild) spring temperatures down under the 5 degree welcome was a little tough to take. I'm currently sat on my sofa wrapped up in two jumpers, black tights and a massive scarf, I guess there's no hiding from the fact that winter is well as truly here!Read more...

Since we last spoke I've been in three different cities, two countries and taught over 90 people... Not what you would call a low key week then! After saying goodbye to our Melbourne digs at 5am last Friday we hopped on an early flight to Auckland. Our time in this city was short - literally only two and a half days, and with the majority of it spent teaching there wasn't too much time to take in the sights.Read more...

This week has been slap bang back to work all round! After one last quick splash in the ocean we said goodbye to Port Douglas and hopped on a plane to Brisbane to teach our first class.. The babes that came along to Bleeding Heart Gallery last weekend were of course as wonderful as we could have hoped for, in fact I don't think Gala, Shauna and I have laughed as much during a class before!Read more...

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!Read more...

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.Read more...

Unless you've been sleeping under a rock (or er... you just haven't been online) you probably won't have failed to notice that we launched The Blogcademy 2014 world tour on Monday. Oh my goodness what a reaction!Read more...

It was two days ago, but I'm pretty sure I'm still hungover after the Wedding Blog Awards on Tuesday night. Give me a break though, I won two awards and I was in the mood to celebrate!Read more...

It's been a busy old week round these parts. Not only did we launch a magazine on Tuesday (!) but Gareth and I were invited to model at the Photography Farm that same afternoon! The Farm is a wedding photography workshop hosted by Lisa Devlin that I've been involved with since it's conception. I actually modelled (solo) for the first ever farm and with this class falling on the two year anniversary it was awesome to not only be asked to do it again but to bring Gareth along with me! Of course I'll be sharing the full results of the shoot soon enough, but I couldn't resist a little sneak peek today.Read more...

If I'm being honest I don't have much to report this week. It's been one of those knuckle down and crack on with things kinda deals. The crappy weather hasn't helped really either has it? When it's chucking it down outside all I want to do is put my slippers on and slurp endless cups of tea. ROCK N ROLL!Read more...

Oh my God, I'm BACK! I know it's a terrible cliché but these past two weeks have been a whirlwind of epic proportions. From Reading to Santorini to Mykonos to London (where we taught two back-to-back workshops no less, what were we thinking?!) Gala, Shauna and I haven't had much time to rest, but we've had the time of our lives in the process.Read more...

Austin was a short but eventful trip. We may have only been in the city for a few days, with two of them being hauled up in a warehouse space with no windows (it was beautiful though!) teaching The Blogcademy, but we still certainly made the most of our time there. We strolled down South Congress, ate extreme ice creams, walked for miles to get our B balloons filled with helium (in 40ºC heat - fun!) and ate more delicious Mexican food then can be considered healthy (although, PS just say no to queso!)Read more...

I can't actually believe it but this time next week I'll be in Texas! Although I'm not really looking forward to the heat, I have been enjoying shopping for new maxi dresses for the occasion and, of course, I can't wait to meet all the new Blogcadettes!Read more...

I'm not gonna lie, I've been a bit rubbish this week. After launching the headpiece collection (eeek, still sounds so exciting to say that!) on Monday I've done not much more then send a few emails, squeal with excitement every time an order comes in and stare at all your lovely comments on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Lord only knows what I'm going to be like when you all start posting photos of you actually wearing them!Read more...

I'm not a blabber mouth or in anyway malicious about it, but I'm not really the best girl to call up if you have a piece of seriously juicy gossip that can't go any further. I literally can't keep those kinds of things myself...! So as you can imagine, it's been really bloody difficult to keep this latest project a secret from you all. I have been literally bursting to tell you what I've been up to.Read more...

I've spent most of this week working in my underwear... one of the many perks of working from home! I hate when people moan that it's too hot, yes we're all sweaty and gross but it sure as hell beats the soggy or chilly alternative. Bring on the sunshine I say!Read more...

It's finally caught up with me. After a few weeks of non-stop madness, racking up those airmiles and lack of sleep, I've caught the plague - and when the weather is so glorious too! Unfortunately I've not been able to wallow in my pit and feel sorry for myself, I've had a busy old week, the culmination of it being a massive photo shoot tomorrow in London. It's the final stage of a massively exciting project that I've been working on over the last few months. I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL. I'll be letting the proverbial cat out of my giant bag of secrets super duper soon and I have a funny feeling you're going to be just as excited as I am when you hear what I've been up to (hint: it involves glitter, gems and giant rainbow flowers..!)Read more...
