What I Love Wednesday from the Outer Banks!

These past few days have been fun, relaxing, and all around fabulous, so sharing the things I'm loving this Wednesday is an easy one!

I'm loving the amazing time we're having at the beach!

I'm loving that my parents had a great 30th anniversary yesterday!

We spent the day hanging out by the pool, visiting the Wright Brothers Memorial and having dinner out on the town.

I'm loving that I finally bought something in the Lilly Pulitzer Pop print!

I have been lusting over this print in blue and white for so long, and I finally took the plunge!

I'm loving the gold seahorse earrings that I saw while shopping the other day!

I gave myself a few days to think on them, and I'm pretty sure they need to be mine!

I'm loving that Paisley is absolutely loving our vacation!

I was so nervous that she wouldn't do well because she hadn't traveled with us before, but now I couldn't imagine her not being here! She's in beach dog heaven!

Most of all, I'm loving that I have time to blog this week!

All too often, I get bogged down with things going on at work, so it's been nice taking some time for myself, and catching up on Sweet Like a Song!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Happy Happy Wednesday, Y'all!

 

Here's what I'm loving on this super windy Wednesday in Boone!

1. My Daddy's coming to visit!

My Dad is a huge basketball fan, and tonight Appalachian has a men's and women's game. Since he's off work for a few days, he's headed up the mountain, so we can go watch! I'm so excited to see him and have a great time cheering on the Mountaineers!

 

2. I'm getting my hair done!

My every-eight-week hair appointment is this Saturday, and I can't wait to have my ends trimmed and get some fresh color! I'm still trying to grow my hair out, so I won't be cutting any, just shaping up the ends. I swear, my hair dresser Lisa can work wonders on this bob!

 

3. I snagged the cutest dress from Bre's Closet Purge

While scanning my twitter feed the other night, I saw that Bre from Basically Bre was having a blog sale. I fell in love with this super fun, black and gold KiKi La'Rue dress. I immediately emailed her, and got it for $20. Doesn't it look perfect for Homecoming or a fun night out?!

 

4. New York City

As if I'm not fascinated enough with New York City, watching the Sex and the City TV series from the beginning has me just about ready to hop on a plane today! There are so many things I want to learn about this amazing place!

 

5.Meeting new friends!

Yesterday, I had lunch with my sweet friend Tara and her cousin Katie. This was something completely spur of the moment, but now I know it was simply meant to be! Katie is a current student at Appalachian and so precious. I was amazed by just how much we had in common! Just when you think you live in a small town, you meet someone completely new! It just made my day!

Oh Happy Day!

This morning, I woke up around 6AM, feeling energized, thankful and so excited to start the day. What better way to share this happiness than a What I Love Wednesday post?

Here's what I'm loving this week!

1. I'm loving that today is Wednesday and we're half way through the work week!

I'm beyond excited for next week to arrive because I'm traveling to see Jake and I have five full days off work! It can't get here soon enough!

2. I'm loving the new dog toy I bought for Paisley yesterday on sale for $5.99! 

(She's loving this one too!)

I finally got Paisley one of the animal toys that has an empty water bottle inside it. Pet Supplies Plus had a sale going on yesterday, and with the toys 50% off, I couldn't resist. The only animal they had left was a skunk, but Paisley doesn't discriminate haha! She's been toting this thing around everywhere!

3. I'm loving that I get to see my boyfriend one week from today, after going a whole month without seeing him!

I'm so excited to be traveling to see Jake's new apartment and the law school that he'll be attending for the next three years! I may even be more excited about all these changes than he is!

4. I'm loving that Paisley has slept in her crate for the past six nights! Hallelujah!

For those of you that have heard my anxiety and trouble with crate training, you know that I had given up on it, at least for a little while. Last week, my Mom's best friend came to visit Paisley and gave me a lot of inspiration/support about the crate training. I went to the basement, got the crate back out of the box and put it up in our kitchen. I put Paisley in it that night and there was no problem whatsoever! It was the craziest thing! Thank you so much for all of your sweet thoughts and prayers that you've sent my way during this new experience.

5. I'm loving the cute dressy capris that I found at Target on sale for $16.99

Target has a style of capri pants that I really like. You may have seen them because they have them season after season in the same few colors (black, royal blue, fuchsia, and navy), and they come in shorts, skirts, etc. While scanning the sale rack last Sunday, I found a cute pair of black ones in my size, and for 30% off. They fit perfectly and I wore them to work on Monday! Score!

6. I'm loving that Sweet Like a Song is getting a face lift!

This is probably the thing I'm most excited about this Wednesday and into the coming weeks! In honor of my one year "blogoversary", Sweet Like a Song is going under construction, and will be looking oh so beautiful once it's done! I have been admiring the designs of Jenn from Munchkin Land Designs for months, but I finally took the plunge and ordered my new design! If you haven't heard of Munchkin Land Designs, you can check out her site here. 

I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

What I Love Wednesday!

It's been a while since I've participated in the "What I Love Wednesday" link-up with Jamie at This Kind of Love, so I thought I'd tell you girls what I've been loving lately!

1. I'm loving this cute cupcake package that I picked up this morning!

I visited Maxie B's Bakery shortly after nine this morning to check out there cupcake selection. My boss' birthday was on Sunday, so I grabbed a "18 Carat" cupcake for her their version of carrot cake, and a "Classic Chocolate" for me! If you've never been to Maxie  B's in Greensboro, you definitely need to stop by! This place is so cute and the desserts taste amazing!

2. I'm loving Moo business cards! 

That's right, Moo business cards at MOO(dot)COM. My boss at my internship just got brand new business cards and they are so nice! Great design, color scheme and paper! I've been looking into blogger business cards for a little while and would love to order them from Moo!

3. I'm loving the date that Jake and I had on Monday! 

We hadn't seen each other in just over two weeks, so we decided to spend the afternoon at Concord Mills, eating, shopping and seeing a movie. We had lunch at Chili's, shopped for a bit and then headed to the theater to see Ted.

4. I'm loving my sweet Paisley!

It has been such a pleasure watching Paisley grow and learn. She's already 10 weeks old and up to 11 pounds! I can't believe it! I'm crossing my fingers that she is completely potty trained very soon!

5. I'm loving my parents!

If my parents weren't around to help me right now, I seriously don't know what I would do. I work two jobs, a combined 25 hours throughout the week, and about 35 hours if I have a wedding on the weekend. My parents have been so wonderful about watching Paisley if I have to work, etc. Thank you thank you, Mama & Daddy for all you do! I love you!

What I Love Wednesday!

Today, I'm linking up with Jamie @ This Kind of Love for What I Love Wednesday!

There's something about January that makes me feel a little down. I don't know if it's the waiting for so many things, i.e. school to start back or spring and summer to come, but things can get a little dreary. The What I Love Wednesday link-up serves as a great tool to remind you of the things that are going well in your life, along things that you should be thankful for this week and every week!

1. I'm loving that I get to visit Jake tomorrow! In the morning, I'll be traveling to Jake's house to spend the day with him:) We're not sure what we're going to do, so it should be fun trying to decide! 14 days without him is way too long!

2. I'm loving that I've been exercising! Woohoo! For me, this is huge because I hate working out! I mean, don't enjoy it AT ALL. I've been doing Insanity, the P90X ab workout and some workouts that I found on Pinterest. The way I see it, anything is better than nothing. GO ME!

3. I'm loving the new Pantone color of the year: Tangerine Tango

Believe me, I am not an orange fan. I don't even think I own an orange piece of clothing, but I've found that when you use this color in small doses with with other less extravagant ones, I actually really like it. (Plus, it makes me feel like summer is a little closer!) I found a necklace while shopping the other day that used the Tangerine Tango, along with some other muted colors. So pretty! I can't wait to go back and buy it! 

Will you be incorporating this color into your wardrobe? 

3. I'm loving that I'm finally going to spend my Swell Caroline $30 credit from Gilt City that my brother's girlfriend, Samantha got for me for Christmas! What will I get? I have no clue yet, but I'll let you know!

4. I'm loving that my family is thinking about visiting the Harry Potter Theme Park while we're in Florida going to Disney World. It's not for sure by any means, but we are doing some research!

Have any of you ever been? It looks so cool!

I guess I better get a jump start on my goal for this year of owning/reading all the HP books!

What I'm Loving....Thursday!

Okay everyone, I realize that today is Thursday, but yesterday was so busy with Jake coming to visit, I thought I'd tell you about what I'm loving anyway!

1. I'm loving that yesterday morning, Jake and I were finally able to see each other since we started Christmas break eleven days ago! I have missed him beyond belief and I was jumping around waiting for him to arrive!

2. I'm loving that he loved all the gifts from my family and I!

3. I'm loving the present that Jake made me for Christmas!

(More on that later!)

4. I'm loving that we got to go see New Year's Eve together last night, since we don't actually get to spend the occasion together.

5. I'm loving that today, I got to visit with some family that hasn't seen me since I was seven years old and then more family that hadn't seen me since I was a baby! Hopefully I've come a long way since those bangs and crazy teeth!

6. I'm loving that I'm just about finished with my 2nd book of Christmas Break!

7. I'm loving all the new faces around my blog! I can't wait to get to know you and you get to know me as well! Happy Wednesday (since I missed you yesterday) & Thursday!
