I’m always on the lookout for new e-commerce retail marketplaces, either to buy for myself, or to buy as gifts for friends and family. I love finding smaller online companies or supporting local businesses with unique pieces and positive missions. I recently stumbled upon Pasonga. Pasonga is an e-commerce startup focusing on representing emerging designers from all around the world and their mission is “Wear the Difference”. The company sells bathing suits, clothes, bags, shoes and accessories. There is a small selection of items to buy, but everything is beautiful, vibrant and full of character. The company’s mission statement is really inspiring. I love how Pasonga’s e-commerce platform was built to empower emerging designers. Continue reading

I used Wedding Paper Divas to send out my save the dates. Wedding Paper Divas is the best online stationary company and has save the dates, bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, thank you cards and pretty much anything wedding related you would need. I recently found out that Wedding Paper Divas has a 12-month wedding planning timeline as well! Their wedding planning timeline is actually really useful because it breaks out the major things you need to do up-front and then what you need to do, as it gets closer to your wedding. Some topics in the timeline are similar to my suggestions in my prior post “Wedding Planning Tips.” However, now that I’m getting close to our wedding (only 3 months away) most of my weekend is making sure I’m checking off all the small things I need to do. It’s the small things that are such a pain. Some of the major takeaways from Wedding Paper Divas’ 12-month wedding timeline are: Continue reading

I love a good deal – and I don’t know many people who don’t love a good deal. When I lived in Virginia, there was a high-end consignment store right near my Mom’s house and a really nice one in Georgtown that I used to go to find designer clothes at discounted prices. Since moving to Atlanta, I’ve heard that there are some great consignment stores, but I haven’t had time on the weekend to find them. Luckily I was browsing online (because I try to do most of my shopping online) and found Thred UP, a large online consignment and thrift store. Continue reading
