grateful: week 42

inspired by my reading of the happiness project by gretchen rubin, i am instituting monday "gratitude" posts (read here for more detail), where i will list "3 things i'm grateful for" from the previous week.

the 3 things i'm grateful for this week are:

1)  there was a blizzard here last week.  you might have heard?  it did span most of the country, after all.  well, i survived it.  and it was actually pretty fun (once you were INdoors looking OUT!).

2)  a weekend that included dinner + a movie with the bf (the kings's speech - highly recommend!) and superbowl sunday spent with some very awesome friends.

2) SNOW DAY!  the day after the blizzard.  first sanctioned one since senior year of high school.

{hi!}

{superbowl trivia}

this week's blog love:

• k.ryan of pretty things featured a gorgeous editorial from elle magazine, fusing models, fashion, and dancers from the american ballet theatre (SO in my wheelhouse. and stay tuned for later this week on a spot of whimsy for more on this idea!).
• i wish i could make all the beautiful decorations sami of a glimpse of glamour shows us from ashley meaders's repertoire.  a DIY-master, to be sure!
• so much design inspiration to be had in thomas o'brien's long island home, featured by anne of the city sage.
• ashley of ashley nicole catherine introduced me to some beautiful artwork by kathy womack - the "women + wine" series.  sounds like a perfect gift for girlfriends to me!

here's to another grateful week.
