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!

♥ WEEKLY FAVES

It’s been a very pretty week on the blogosphere, and as usual, I have gathered all my favourites on the SBB’s Weekly Faves board on Pinterest, so be sure to check that out. Here are just a few of my bests.

A sweet hand-drawn Save the Date printable from Bells & Whistles via The Pretty Blog. I don’t know about you, but I’d print these on postcards and send them out that way – easy peasy!
