much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

a good mixture of rest, work and fun.  if only every week had such balance.  

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {my valentine's flowers from c died in less than 48 hrs; a new leaf sent me an entirely new bouquet this week - i LOVE this store}

 {sort of as a joke, but also sort of serious (!), i bought these tervis tumblers for c and me}

 {midweek performance of the joffrey - and i totally impulse-purchased that beautiful book at the theatre}

 {brought these hyacinths (also from a new leaf!) to a bff as a hostess gift for a lovely sunday brunch}

 {live-tweeting oscar sunday with c.  yes i made him drink one of those lol}

this week's blog love:

• obsessed with sequins & stripes colorful fashion to interiors post. 
• jess of makeunder my life shared an important post on imperfections.
• some pretty garden eye candy from lanalou style.
• a cup of jo wrote a beautifully honest post about her life this past week.  
• some great small office space inspiration from centsational girl.
• how pretty is red valentino's spring 2012 collection over on dustjacket?!

and finally, my 2 chicago blogger friends alaina + danielle launched the amazing website/blog/lifestyle guide the everygirl this past week.  it's fabulous, and you should definitely check it out :)   

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.
