What a wild & exhilarating weekend! Though we all feel like we’ve been some through some kind of stylish & fabulous war, I think it’s fair to say that our very first Blogcademy was a smashing success.

It was absolutely incredible to spend the weekend with 30 enthusiastic & excitable students, to teach them as much as we could & overload them with inspiration. We ALL learned something, even the headmistresses, & I am so excited to see how everyone’s blogs grow & change after the Blogcademy!

We poured everything we had into those two days, & I’m still reeling. I can barely put the experience into words. I have a full recap coming soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some photos from the weekend by one of our extremely talented Blogcademy graduates, Femke Leemans! (Click on her name for more pictures & a review of the weekend from her point of view!)

We all wore our finery: leather bunny ears, sparkly shoes…

Crystal light fixtures & fire escapes…

Look at these blogger babes!

Poms, striped straws & turquoise cups…

Kat hard at work, me having an intense conversation!

Nubby & her shadow.

Lisa & I got papped in the kitchen!

Everyone got one of these heart rings in their goodie bag (more details on that soon!), & Stephanie loves her caffeine.

Natanya’s iPhone case fit in very well! Nubby’s wearing sparkly ears this time.

Taking a photo of Nubby & Veronica Varlow.

Hayley & Islandia, Charlotte & Kat, Lisa & Jamie.

Some of our ecstatic graduates, & Angela modelling a balloon! I can’t believe we forgot to take a photo of everyone at once. Next time!

Nubby & I with Femke herself!

These photos don’t serve up any evidence of the manic champagne-fuelled dance party that happened at the end of the night… But maybe that’s a good thing?!

Believe me, there is a mammoth, detailed post coming up soon… !

Turquoise poms & metallic B balloons,
