Loving Lately: Vol. 3

For a week that felt like it would never come to an end, the last half sure did fly by! I’m excited for the weekend (but who isn’t!?). Last weekend Chris and I went shopping for his wedding ring and that was fun!   He made a decision in under an hour.  That’s quite impressive if you ask me.  You don’t even want to know how long mine took! I’m just so relieved now that his ring has been purchased. I think this will be the first weekend in a while where I don’t have any type of wedding related appointment scheduled, so it will be a nice little break!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a roundup post like this, and for some strange reason, these are some of my favorite posts to write about and read on other blogs, so here’s what I’ve been loving lately!

1. New workout clothes

Every time I need a little motivation in the gym, I get a new workout outfit.  Having a new outfit to wear gives me something to look forward to, so I try to reward myself every now and then.  I’ve heard so many great things about these Zella live in leggings and with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale going on, I definitely couldn’t pass them up at this price.  I’m so glad I didn’t because they’re super comfy!

2. Social networking cards

I’ve been way overdue on this one, but I finally got some business cards for The Southern Thing! These social networking cards from socialcirclecards caught my eye instantly!  When it comes to business, I’m all about first impressions and these networking cards definitely leave a good one in my opinion.  I love how the unique round scalloped design makes them stand out from the crowd. They came with a cute little tassel keychain carrying case that holds the cards, which makes it so easy to keep them with me while on the go.
3. Large tassel totes

Before I went on my most recent trip to the beach, I picked up this tassel tote that I had been eyeing for weeks.  If you’re in need of a large tote for the beach, this is for you!  It’s literally the perfect size! My first thought when seeing it in person was that it might be too big, but my mind changed quickly once I started filling it up with enough beach towels, sunscreen, and snacks for both Chris and I, plus my bathing suit cover up and a bluetooth speaker.  Even after all of that, I still had room to spare! It’s definitely a summer essential in my book!
4.  Wedding planning

Now that most of the bigger and more stressful decisions are out of the way, I’m loving all the wedding planning!  Aside from a few key details that still need to be sorted out (like writing our vows and deciding on our ceremony readings), I can finally focus on the fun little details like wedding favors, bridesmaid gifts, and finishing touches for decor!

5. My wedding binder

I know I’ve mentioned this handy little gem before, but I’m going to say it again!  If you’re a bride-to-be, you need this wedding planning binder.  It has seriously saved my life by keeping me on time with deadlines, providing useful advice, and much more!  On another note, if you’re in the process of planning a wedding, be sure to check out this post on wedding planning organization tips from earlier this week!
