SouthBound Sundays {6 April 2014}

Hello friends! It’s been a few weeks since I did a SouthBound Sunday (blame tax season, bleugh), but I have been rounding up all my faves from around the web this weekend and I can’t wait to share them with you! 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 {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 {8 September 2013}

Hello lovelies! It has been far too long! Did you miss me? Of course you didn’t. You probably didn’t even notice I was gone, with all the posts I managed to line up in my absence (quite proud of that, I must say!). In the last six weeks I’ve packed up my house in London, spent three weeks on a vineyard in Tuscany, two glorious days in Rome, said goodbye (for now) to London friends, had a week in Abu Dhabi and finally come to rest for a while in Durbs, with my family. Whew! I’ll tell you all more about my travels at a later stage, but for now, let’s just say I’m glad to be back on the blog and ready to tackle three awesome new projects I have lined up for my time here. Can’t wait! And there is so much loveliness coming your way. Just sayin’. Anyway, for now, I have braved the crapness of South African internet and brought you my favourite finds from the week that was.

SouthBound Sundays {7 July 2013}

Oh glorious British summer! Sorry South Africans, but today I am 100% enjoying the sunshine. I made a cheeky trip up to Carnoustie in Scotland to attend my friend Nikki’s summer party last night, so as I write this, I’m sitting in the sunshine (sore head ‘n all), sipping a Pimms and watching Andy Murray (hopefully) win Wimbledon. If it happens, there’s going to be a lot of excitement up here! Anyway, I won’t stay long, but I wanted to stop by and share with you my favourite pins and finds of the week.

SouthBound Sundays + V&A Ballgowns {17 March 2013}

Happy Sunday friends! And Happy St. Patrick’s Day (especially to my lovely Irish housemate, Kelly). I’ve always been a big fan of St. Pat’s, ever since my Catholic school in Joburg used to do a big sweets and cakes day and it was the one day you could make an exception to your Lenten resolutions. Which I guess means I should spend all day reading tabloids and watching reality TV, since that’s what I gave up this year, except that I haven’t missed them at all. Instead I’m curled up on the couch watching vintage cop shows, listening to the rain outside and cooking up a bumper crop of inspiration boards for you lovely lot. It’s been a super busy week making plans for our Editorial Wedding workshop at London’s Cannizaro House (UK photogs, if you haven’t yet signed up, do soon – we have so much knowledge to share and you guys the styled shoot is going to be AMAZING – more on that this week), but then I do like to be busy!

SouthBound Sundays {3 March 2013}

Happy Sunday friends! What have you got up to? Yesterday I ventured out to East London (I hate East London, I feel like everyone who walks past is cooler than me) for the London Wedding Emporium, a brand new wedding fair. My friend Louise of b.loved was exhibiting her awesome styling services in the prettiest stand imaginable, so I got to help out a bit and see some other wedding friends and services. It’s only a few pounds entrance, so definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area today! After that I spent the evening eating yummy salmon and polishing off a bottle of red with my friend Jodi, but today I plan to spend curled up with my laptop and a hot cup of something – it’s cold out there!

SouthBound Sundays {17 Feb 2013}

Hello my lovelies, how has your weekend been? I’ve spent most of it in bed, under a mountain of tissues. I hate being sick. Meh, but at least I’ve taken the time to catch up on phone chats with some of my very favourite people at home, and hear all their news. Which is just as well, as my TV viewing options have been seriously limited since I decided to give up all forms of reality TV for Lent. Seriously, do you even know how much of what’s on TV is reality TV? From a rough survey of this weekend, I would say about 80%. That’s insane. I’ve also been working on some lovely features for next week, and a special little side project that I can’t wait to launch – not long now! ;)

SouthBound Sundays {10 Feb 2013}

Hello my dear friends – how has your weekend been? I’ve had a lovely one. On Friday one of my bestest friends came over for sushi and way too much red wine, and we caught up and put the world to rights. On Saturday it was off to Oxford for lunch with more lovely friends – this time a group of ex-colleagues who have become dear friends and their husbands and children. So much fun! As for today, I’m spending it in bed, having been woken up in the middle of the night by a random drunk guy who broke into our porch – I eventually went to investigate some strange noises and found someone sticking their hand through our letterbox! Thank goodness I have a male housemate, who was very quickly shouted for and sorted it out. And the saga of the teenagers next door continues… Anyway, I’ve been pinning all kinds of loveliness from around the web, so here’s our little roundup!

SouthBound Sundays {3 Feb 2013}

Hello friends! How are you all doing? Hope your weekend has been nice and chilled, as mine has. Just after I finish this off, I’m about to head off to the kitchen and cook up a lovely batch of chicken cacciatore – perfect for what is a very chilly winter day! Then I may curl up with a Murder She Wrote marathon (don’t judge, Jessica’s ma girl) while I finish off the prettiness for the week – can’t wait to share! I also have a couple of special little projects I’m hoping to finally get off the ground soon, so here’s hoping it’s a productive week!
