What I'm Loving Wednesday


Happy Wednesday y'all!

I'm linking up with Jamie over at This Kind Of Love
for What I'm Loving Wednesday








{One}
I see printables on Pinterest all the time,
but this one really caught my attention today:

{Two}
Extremely Hip Seniors Charm Mall With Flash Mob
How cute is this?





{Three}
Turns out, money can buy you happiness.
And it comes in the form of Trader Joe's Cookie Butter.
It's like spreadable gingerbread cookie dough, but even better.






{Four}
My latest DIY project:
chalkboard paint terracotta pots for my kitchen herbs.
I'm thinking of painting the lips of the pots yellow. Whadya think?





{Five}
The LaRoque Summer Collection!
Perfect dresses for wedding and baby shower season.
These are 3 sweet togs I'm eyeing at the moment:

1 // 2 // 3




{Six}
Whoorl's Best Bright & Dark Lip Colors.
Don't you hate buying a new lipgloss/lipstick thinking it's the shade you want
only to find out it looks completely different than you imagined?
Problem solved. Check out Sarah's pics for best colors & nudes!





{Seven}
I tweeted this link out yesterday, but had to post it here as well.
Carlos Whitaker wrote about this beautiful lady, Sophia
and where she finds her joy.
Simply awesome. This just made my day!







So what are y'all loving today?
Head over to Jamie's blog & link up!

Great post. Love your little DIY plants. Terrific finds today.

Erin said...

Love it all, especially the lipstick guide (how smart) and the dresses! I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Beth said...

Ooh, I like your finds this week! Those dresses are so cute. I love the first one with ruffles, I'm SUCH a sucker for anything with a ruffle neck line! So feminine. I also really like the 10 gentle reminders. I've been having some rough weeks at work and all of these "rules" would be great to copy in mass and distribute!!

Have a great Wednesday.

I love your herb pots! So cute! LaRoque dresses make me swoon. And I'm going to Trader Joe's asap!

Amy Bennett said...

Definitely paint your pots! Will be so cute!

Kimberley Nash said...

I'm lovin' those dresses! There you go being a bad influence on me again—haha! My husband is already bracing himself for the barrage of pretty things that will certainly be heading my way this summer :)

And, true story, that's the second time I've heard raves about that cookie butter from Trader Joes. I was just in there yesterday and nearly picked it up but thought it can't be THAT good—but I guess it is.

Lastly, love that etiquette list. Even in the South some fail to follow those simplest of rules.

Great post. I'm loving the "10 Gentle Reminders" list. So true! I'm pinning it:)

amy (fearless homemaker) said...

i love the 10 Gentle Reminders! So many people, myself included, could benefit from reading those every few days as a reminder. =) + i love your DIY herb post. too cute! I like the hint of terra cotta, but i like your idea of yellow, too.

Jasmine said...

Cookie Butter?? Uh-oh. I'm going to have to try that out for myself :). And I really like those chalkboard pots for your kitchen herbs! So cute!!

Lydia Criss Mays said...

So happy to be your 89th follower via WILW! Loved your shares! The flash mob was just amazing and I'm looking so forward to what makes sweet Sophia full of joy! We're always looking for people to celebrate who see beautiful in their lives.

Cookie Butter? It's added to my TJ's grocery list. YUM!

By the looks of your blog and the kind, inspiring writing we've seen, we think you'd like See Beautiful too!

Happy seeing beautiful!

J is out of town this weekend...I am thinking of trying out the DIY pots! I want to grow something on our patio and I think herbs are a good place to start :)

We always stop at Trader Joe's when we're in Nashville, so we went Monday before we came home. I wish I'd known about the cookie butter!...or maybe not. Bathing suit season is fast approaching!

Thank you for the anniversary wishes!

Laura said...

love your blog, ally! so thrilled to find a new charlotte blogger!

JennySue said...

You and I must be on the same wavelengths sometime- with my recent post on the 90 yr old Iris Apfel, then your elderly video- love it!!! Just wanted you to know I finally listed you on my "Links that make my day better." I truly enjoy checking your site out every chance I get!

Jennifer @ Studio JRU said...

So fun! I always love your 'what your lovin' posts. I think yellow on the pots would look fantastic! :)

Mary Ann said...

I love the chalkboard herb pots - I'm putting that into my mental project list!! ;-)

Megan @ Culinary Chops said...

There are so many cute things in this post! I love the chalkboard planters...yellow or a vibrant green would work so well with the black!

But most importantly....that cookie butter spread. Holy mother of all things delicious! I only go to trader joes when I'm in for a battle and long lines, but I may be making my way there something this upcoming weekend!

Christy {SparklesandSpinach} said...

New to your blog! That cookie spread looks SO good! And love all 3 dresses. So cute!

Mandi @ Southern Gnome said...

Awesome post. I have been having trouble with lip color lately. I found a stain I really like, but I would love to find it in a lip color.

And you had me a flash mob. I love watching videos of them. LOVE it.
