Every week I am just blown away by how much creativity and gorgeousness is going on in wedding world, as well as by you ladies, with all your enthusiasm and spirit! I really do love my job :)

SouthBound Sundays {9 March 2014}

Hello my lovelies! How has your weekend been? I have been busily working away launching our new directory and getting the posts ready for next week so that I can outwit those darn load shedding blackouts, and better yet so that I can take a long weekend off from Thursday – heading to Plett with my girls from high school and I can.not. WAIT! But I had to stop by and remind you of the goodness that we saw on the blog this week as well as the goodness around the web!

SouthBound Sundays {23 Feb 2014}

Hello friends! I must say, I was looking forward to this roundup, because I absolutely loved the last week on SouthBound Bride. It was the cumulation of some work on both my part and that of some awesome contributors, and I loved sharing some exclusive content with you. Unfortunately, today you find me very heartsore, as the family dog died earlier today after being taken ill yesterday. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am a total animal person, and while our Marcus was old, he was one of the most affable little souls you would ever have met. The whole family was there when he died, and I’m glad about that, but he’ll be badly missed. I’ll include a little pic or two of him at the end.

ANYWAY, so if I don’t sound super chipper, that’s why. But fortunately I have had lots of prettiness around the web to cheer me (and pinning it has definitely been a good way to distract myself today!).

SouthBound Sundays {19 Jan 2014}

Hey brideys, how has your Sunday been? I have been having a lazy day, catching up on sleep and working off a little whisky hangover from a Burns Night party I was invited to last night. Haggis, speeches and poetry, the whole deal – so fun! I hope you all have been having a good weekend, whatever you’ve been doing. Time now though to look at all the pretties from around the web on what has been an exceptionally lovely week.

SouthBound Sundays {12 Jan 2014}

Hello lovelies! Hope this Sunday finds you well. I am in bed, teetering on the brink of a cold, and trying to pull my exhausted self back – too many late nights working on the blog, I think! But our first week of 2014 has been awesome, and I am full of excitement about the rest of the year to come! For those of you who are new, SouthBound Sundays is our weekly roundup (although I won’t lie, it doesn’t happen EVERY week) when I recap our features on SBB, share any exciting news, give a shoutout to fab sponsors, and most importantly, bring you my favourites from around the web.

♥ #SOUTHBOUNDBRIDETOBE

But before I do all of that, this week I want to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to some of our newly-engaged readers who shared their proposal story on Twitter and Instagram using our brand new #southboundbridetobe hashtag. Clockwise from top left, please join me in sending big SouthBound hugs and yays to: Helé, Angelina, Lindsey, Amy, Maryna & Jaynie. Don’t forget to send us your pic too!

SouthBound Sundays {10 Nov 2013}

Hello lovelies – how has your weekend been? This year is racing along to its close – I can’t believe I am already planning editorial for 2014! Ack. But before we let time rush by too much, let’s stop and smell the roses. Or at least, stop and appreciate a little of the loveliness that has been on the blogs this week. But you guys, if you really want to see a proper GORGEOUS lot of inspiration this week, look out for the latest issue of Magnolia Rouge. I have seen a sneak peek, and it is seriously amazing! Anyway, for now, here are my top picks from the week…

SouthBound Sundays {6 Oct 2013}

Hello darlings, how has your weekend been? Mine has ROCKED. I mentioned that one of my besties and her family were out from Australia (SO exciting, haven’t seen each other for five years!) so we went down the coast with her folks, her hubby and her three awesome sons, who all just happen to be my much beloved godsons. I am not much of a kid person, but these little guys are the BOMB. Two days filled with whale sightings, Monopoly games, domino games, fresh crayfish slash mussels slash crab slash oysters feasts, and just hanging out with some of my favourite people in the world. Awesome. I am a very happy lady today! Anyway, with the weather turning bad here in Durbs, we’re back a little early, which means there’s just enough time for me to bring you my fab finds from the week. It’s SouthBound Sunday!!!

SouthBound Sundays {29 Sept 2013}

Hello friends, how has your weekend been? I am still in manic catching up from my month off phase, but took some time to celebrate my Dad’s birthday with him this weekend, which was awesome, as I am almost never home in SA for birthdays! Anyway, I still have a TON to do, so I won’t make this long – just to wish you a fab week and hope you enjoy all my web finds! ;)
