Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
What better day to share a fun Things I’m Loving Friday post than Valentine’s Day!?
Ryan and I will be doing our annual Valentine’s Day Mission and I’m excited!
I hope you have fun Valentine’s Day plans this evening whether they be a hot date, a cozy night in, a wine night with your best friends or anything else. And please know that you are all very loved and appreciated by me!
Now for the fun stuff…
Things I’m Loving Friday
This little speaker is powerful! I bought it on sale through RueLaLa about a month ago because I knew I wanted to have an easy, portable speaker to connect to my iPhone so I could play Pandora during my sister’s bridal shower. This speaker had no problem playing music loud enough to fill the large room during Leslie’s shower and I’ve been using it to play music in our kitchen or in the bathroom while I am getting ready in the morning. It’s fabulous!
I stopped by Target after work on Tuesday because I wanted to buy this book and I figured they would have it. (No such luck.) Well, as I’m sure many of you will agree, it is impossible to leave Target without buying all the things. Since the books section of Target is intelligently located at the back of the store, I had to pass the clothing section and before I knew it, I was in the dressing room trying on a bunch of different dresses. There are SO many cute dresses at Target right now and I left with this long-sleeve lace one (in blue) which I think may end up being the dress I wear for my sister and Ross’ rehearsal dinner. (It looks dressier in person.) I also tried on this dress (in mint green) because I thought it would look fabulous with wedges and might be a good Easter dress, but it didn’t look right on me.
(P.S. Did you know Target makes bridesmaid dresses!? I just found them online when I was looking for the link to the dress I bought. This one reminds me a lot of the J.Crew bridesmaid dress I wore for my friend Michaela’s wedding!)
And speaking of dresses…
- Leslie and Ross’ Flower Girl’s Dress
This morning my sister texted me a picture of the dress her flower girl will be wearing at her wedding on March 8 and my heart exploded. So adorable! My fellow bridesmaids and I will be wearing long peach dresses and I love how the flower girl’s dress incorporates peach and lace. Ava will look precious!

Thank you, PBS, for putting full episodes of this fabulous show online. I’ve been keeping up with this season since it debuted in January and while I thought the first few episodes were a little slow, it has really picked up steam again! So glad the Dowager Countess is as sassy as ever. This show is still a favorite of mine, for sure!
- Fresh Market Chocolate Raspberry Kiss Coffee
The Fresh Market knows what they’re doing when they provide free samples of their seasonal coffee flavors. I always try the latest flavor whenever I shop there and the sample of the chocolate raspberry kiss coffee surprised me! I typically don’t love chocolate and raspberry flavors together, but this is a definite exception. I brewed myself a cup for breakfast this morning and loved every festive sip!

Question of the Morning
- What is one thing you are loving today?
Jaime says
I have that lace Target dress but in black! I love it because it can easily be dressed up or down. I wore it with black tights, boots and a cute necklace on NYE and it worked perfectly! It will work perfectly for you sister’s rehearsal dinner. What I am enoying today? The anticpation of spending a quiet night with the hubby going to dinner than watching the Olympics!
Childrens Dress Shop says
The flower girl dress is beautiful! We offer the same one, accept competitor coupons AND ship FREE. Feel free to swing over and ask any questions.
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
I am loving peanut butter m&m’s… my bf had them waiting on the table when I woke up this morning! They may have become my breakfast… oops 🙂
Courtney says
Just a heads up to anyone getting married this year, Easter is around the corner which = TONS of awesome white dresses in stores for little girls. We bought my flowergirl’s dress from JCPenney last year around this time for a steal.
Kelly says
Thanks for the tip..I’m getting married in October and looking for flower girl dresses already!
Sarah Whitney says
Thank you for the Target Bridesmaid dress info! My friend is getting married this year, and we were looking for inexpensive options.
I’m also loving Downton Abbey. Things are definitely getting good!
One thing I’ve been loving this week are episodes of Friends. I’ve been watching a one or two every night. They just never get old! PIVOT!
Lindsay says
I LOVE Target dresses! I bought the cutest shift dresses last year in black and ivory. Looks like I’m going to have to check out their selection again this year 🙂 Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hanna Camille says
I am SO excited Downton Abbey is online! I was searching everywhere for the new season a couple of weeks ago but couldn’t find the full episodes….well…there goes my weekend!
Laura says
I love the Chocolate Raspberry Kisses coffee! It smells so good…I buy the decaf so I can have a delicious, chocolatey treat before bedtime 🙂
Dallas says
Happy Valentine’s Day Julie! I hope you and Ryan have a fun night! Here’s my post on things I’m loving right now: http://daybydaymasterpiece.com/2014/02/14/fabulous-friday-12/
Annette@FitnessPerks says
Cute flower girl dress!!
Sheena @ Paws and Pavement says
I am loving my new headbands that I received for my V-day gift (I asked for them). I am always losing them and running around trying to find one before heading out to the gym.
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats says
Love your list! I recently bought more work skirts from target and had been searching for new ones for ages and hadn’t thought of going there.
That flower dress is just too precious!
I’ve had it for a year but I am still loving my Kindle as I’ve read so many great books on it. Over the Christmas break I probably read 10 books and it was so nice and relaxing.
Livi says
That coffee sounds amazing!
Lisa says
Try the cherry vanilla coffee from Walgreen; their Delish brand.
Have all Downton Abby episode DVRd!
Sarah says
I love Target! They have the cutest clothes.
Runner Girl Eats says
How did I not notice that your sister is getting married the same day I am!? such a great day 😉 LOVE her flower girl dress!
MWH says
That lace dress is so cute! What size do you get when you shop in the Juniors department?
Janelle says
I bought my flower girl’s dress from that website and I loved it! Its a really great site to use and definitely reasonably priced 🙂
Wendy@ All Kinds of Miles says
Okay, I love, love, love my Keurig, but every time you post new Fresh Market coffee flavors, I sort of wish I had a regular coffee maker, too. They all sound so good! Right now I’m loving Josie Maran’s argan oil and kate spade’s ooh la la collection!
Traci says
I had no idea that Target made bridesmaids dresses. I guess I don’t really need to know, but I took a look anyway, and they are cute! I am loving the bowl of vanilla yogurt I’m currently eating while writing this. :]
Carly says
I bought some chocolate raspberry coffee to try tomorrow! I’m always looking for yummy new flavors! It sounds good!
Virdiana says
I just bought the long-sleeved lace dress in royal blue from Target! I usually don’t like LS dresses but that one was just too cute! I can imagine wearing it out for a date, formal event or even to work! Nice choice 🙂
Lately I have been loving pasta bowls! I layer them with broccoli (my fave, although I’ve tried asparagus and spinach, too) stuffed pasta, sauce and tofu! If you haven’t tried it with marinated tofu I highly recommend it. It adds a nice portion of protein and makes the dish more filling 🙂
Hope you had a great Valentine’s day!
samantha says
Thank you PBS indeed! 🙂
Abby @ BackAtSquareZero says
Target has the best stuff – i go in for one thing sand leave with 7.
Lauren says
I will have to check out Targets clothes section next time I am there. How do you feel about the quality of Targets clothes? Do they hold up?
Caroline says
Where did you get your phone case?! I love it!
Micaela says
Julie where did you get your adorable iphone case?!
