SO Obsessed Sunday – July 20th Edition!

Happy Sunday lovebirds! 
I’m so excited to bring back SO Obsessed Sundays on the blog along with this fresh new look! This weekend it’s hard not to obsess over all the great steals and deals going on out there, like the oh so talked about (and shopped!) Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that’s now open to all. I know I’m definitely obsessed with everything in my shopping cart! 
1. YOU! Sales aside though, I’d like to kick off this Sunday’s obsessions with you! Yes you! I received so many positive wishes and wonderful encouragement after launching this new blog this week that I just have to say thanks and give a few shout outs…
Allie (@alexandrabeeblog) of Alexandra Bee Blog, you have my heart and this you know! You’ve been such a good bloggie role model and RVA friend, thanks for sharing and encouraging. Y’all she’ seriously awesome, go check her out now!
Other Insta friends that reached out, thank you too! To name a few… 
The Blog Issue (@theblogissue) I can tell is already going to be an obsession once its fully launched, I mean its an online magazine for blog lovers, can you get any more fun?! 
Christine (@seashellsandmagnolias) of Seashells and Magnolias is my kinda gal, she’s from RVA, loves Lilly as much as this girl and lives in my home state and favorite city, Charleston, SC!
Julia (@juliarwarren) is the founder of celebrate! RVA which gives disadvantaged children a memorable birthday celebration in a safe and fun environment – now that’s a party I can get behind!
Catherine (@portugueseprepster) of Portuguese Prepster is one I love to follow, she’s a Virginian living in the big apple and we definitely share a similar love of style and decor!
Thanks for the love ladies!! Oh and there were just so many others that shared and emailed and texted and snapchatted and hey, even gave me some in-person love too, so THANK YOU all!!
2. Planning. **Dork Alert*** There’s something about a planner that brings me peace and sanity. Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of debating on what Lilly planner to spring for this year since they came out weeks and weeks ago. Last year I went for the small agenda in Let’s Cha Cha and have been loving it, but think I want something a little larger this go-round. 
Then, I remembered this Erin Condren Life Planner that I’ve been eyeing for a couple years. So I did it, I took the plunge and ordered mine last week!!!!  After watching this video on the planner, I couldn’t resist:
What sold me was the flexibility, creativity and space. You can change out covers, reuse stickers and have plenty of room for notes and lists. I opted for one of the Classic covers in Party Pops White and added the pen holder and couldn’t resist the photo stickers to put on my friend’s and family’s birthdays. I’ll be sure to share the final result once it arrives!
3. Jack Rogers new Safari Haircalf sandal. It’s no secret we all are head over heels for the southern lady’s summer staples Jack Rogers. When I saw these babies come through in my email, I knew I had to have them!
4. So clutch! Ok so I told you the sales are well and alive this week, but one of my biggest wish list items is on major sale right now! The Gigi New York Uber Clutch in (Clemson) Orange is only $72.50 right now! Although, being a believer in the “if it ain’t movin’, monogram it” saying, I would have to add the $15 personalization, bringing it to $87.50. Still, a steal, considering the original $148 price tag even before personalization.
I love all the ways Caitlin of Southern Curls and Pearls wears her Uber Clutch!
via
5. Must have necklace! Last but certainly not least, I have been getting compliments galore on my Bouquet Necklace from Purple Peridot and at $24.99, I have to recommend that y’all go scoop one up too! I purchased the Neon Yellow version which is unfortunately sold out now, but I’m still in love with the Purple that is still in stock.
So, what are you obsessing over lately?! Do you share my same love for planning and savvy style finds? I’m always looking for more ideas!

  • RV-HEYYYYYY 😊 So good to be back in Richmond. We popped in to some spots in our old neighborhood and I found THE best Christmas snack πŸ‘‰πŸ» swipe! πŸŽ„ @tasteunlimited was so cute and so full of goodies!
  • Charleston is looking quite festive! πŸŽ„ I had a couple meetings downtown today and couldn’t help but snap a few photos of our gorgeous hometown. Who else just adores Charleston? Tell me your Charleston story... did you get engaged here, married here, come for vacation, move recently? πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ
  • What is it about a Christmas pageant that just warms a Mamas heart?! πŸŽ„ #SullyLou knew every word to all the songs (English, French, and Spanish!), sang them enthusiastically, remembered the moves, and just beamed with joy from the stage. I’m so proud of her 😭. How is she becoming such a big girl so fast?! Speaking of big, she was the only girl on the back pew because she’s so tall. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I love you my Sully girl. I am so so so incredibly proud of you my mooks.
  • Run like the wind bullseye! Not the most IG worthy picture, although that is Kensington Palace in the background, hey Kate! πŸ‘‹πŸ» But I'm doing it y'all. Registered for the @cooperriverbridgerun which is arguably Charleston's biggest race of the year. Have I ever run a 10k? Nope. Have I ever run a 5k? Yes, and it was six years ago. 🀣Watch me work... πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
  • Throwback to one of the most Christmas-y places in London! Tonight we enjoyed our own little slice of Christmas with the Mount Pleasant parade (see Stories!) πŸŽ„πŸŽ… β˜ƒοΈ We may not be spending our December abroad or in Hawaii this year, but gosh it sure does feel good to be home sweet home in Charleston!
  • Do you go to THERAPY? Why is that word so scary? 🚨 Why do we feel shame in saying we go? πŸ‘‰πŸ» Tonight in my Stories a bunch of strangers across the internet grouped together to share therapists they recommend in cities across the US and even in London. I feel like knowing who to go to is one of the hardest first steps, hopefully, we've helped you with that. πŸ’— πŸ‘‡πŸ» Feel free to comment below, if you're comfortable, with any other therapist recommendations you'd like to share or tell us about your therapy experience!

Ok so why the photo of me in the Sahara Desert for a 5am camel ride sunrise? πŸͺ Well, soon after this photo was taken, I walked into a therapist's office in London. Why? Secondary infertility. I wrote about this on the blog (link in profile), but I felt so, so broken y'all. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
All the travel we were doing was reminding me of all the joy, joy, joy down in my heart πŸ˜‰ and I realized how this feeling of brokenness was dragging me down. And I didn't want it to turn into something bad. So off I went. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Over a year later and I've found my gal here in Charleston and I still go every month. πŸ‘πŸ» Even though I don't feel broken any longer. In fact, I feel optimistic and hopeful for our future adopted child. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§ It's just good to talk it out y'all. To talk out everything occupying your brain space and keeping you up at night here or there. Not only that, but therapists have TOOLS. They're so equipped to teach you #allthethings you never even knew you needed to know!

As we go into the holidays πŸŽ„ which admit it you guys, we put so much pressure and tie so much meaning to.... I want you to consider therapy. A lot of insurance providers will help you cover the cost. It doesn't hurt to book an appointment and see if it's for you. And you might have to shop around for the right fit, but you'll find it. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
At the end of the day, I believe that if we're all more mentally stable humans, we'll all contribute to a better, kinder world. 🌎
  • One thing I never got tired of during 14 weeks of guests visiting us in London (and most all of them staying with us in our 500 sq ft flat with 1 bathroom 😬)... was the afternoon tea!!! β˜•οΈ Gah I just loved it. All my fancy tea party dreams from my childhood got to come true over and over! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Don’t miss it when you visit the UK! πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ This was one of my favorites and top recommendations, The Park Room at @grosvenorhouselondon. Check on @opentable for the special reservation where a glass of bubbly πŸ₯‚ is included with your tea! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
PS: Hit that little bookmark to save this post for later so you remember where to go when visiting London! πŸ’‚πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ
  • Entrepreneur-ing and mom-ing like a boss this week y'all. I'll explain more soon. πŸ˜‰ Have you gotten your ticket yet to my business @pinckneypalm's Master Your Social? 🎟 Seriously, get on it, I think I'm only going to sell 5️⃣ more seats and then close the program. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
If you're not in the know, MYS is my 6-week online social media coaching program, No, this is NOT an e-course or webinar. πŸ™…πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ This is me actually live teaching you a new topic each week, giving you the steps and resources to implement what we talk about, and then holding you accountable. Not to mention, throwing some epic online dance parties πŸ’ƒπŸΌπŸ’ƒπŸΌ and having you join in community with other entrepreneurs. We start January 21st... wouldn't it be awesome to go into 2020 with a social media strategy and knowledge of all the tips and tricks?!

  • Snapped in my element. Hunting for gems in the flea markets abroad. 🌏 The first deals I looked for on Cyber Monday? Flight deals! Go search @skyscanner, I even found NYC to London for less than $300 a person. Considering we have a baby on the way and no earthly idea when that baby gets here I didn't hit purchase but dang I wanted to. Y'all do it for me! ✈️

Psst... there may or may be a small batch of goodies coming to @theshopabroad just in time for you to snag Christmas gifts that are one of a kind (this time from German Christmas markets) πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸŽ„πŸŽ
