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 fun football saturday with friends followed by a date-day with c on sunday, with halloween costume-making squeezed in.  speaking of halloween, i hereby designate this halloween week & a half (catchy, no?) on the blog, from today through the 31st.  spooky.

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {i've now finished both of my books of fall; moving on to the halloween tree today}

{did some damage at fleet feet to prepare for long runs in colder temps.  my first half marathon is only a few months away, eek}

 {our bar got halloween-ed}

 {sunday night spent at elizabeth restaurant with c - an amazing experience}

{one of my favorite of the 13 courses at elizabeth: corn bread with trout roe}

this week's blog love:   

• a lovely escape put together a couple of adorable halloween dress-up ideas inspired by movie characters.
• the idea of alfred hitchcock's the birds is terrifying (i don't like birds on a good day), but camille styles' party based on the movie is halloween perfection.
• even if you're not a fan of halloween, the sweetest occasion asks: can you really say no to a pretty dress and a cool mask?!
• the glitter guide shared a beautiful article on how to be a friend to someone who has cancer by hollye jacobs.
• am loving the halloween costume inspiration a glimpse of glamour put together using runway fashion.

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