grateful: week 41

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)  january is almost over!  no offense, january, but you are much too long and much too cold.

2)  had a few different dinner dates throughout the week that allowed me to catch-up with some of my favorite people in chicago! 

3)  a weekend that left me feeling content and with a smile on my face!

*giveaway winner will be announced later today!

this week's blog love:

• a glimpse of glamour discusses an unfortunate side of surrounding yourself with creativity: jealousy.  
• florals and stripes reminds us how fabulous lauren hutton is.
• alaina of live creating yourself discusses french kitchens.
• coco +kelley featured a fabulous interview with nate berkus's right-hand ladies.
• look at all the fabulous images of drawers put together by oh, hello friend.
• ashley nicole catherine gushes over elie saab's spring 2011 couture collection.  and i am in love.  hope to see some of these on the oscars red carpet!  ashley also rounded up some of the spring 2011 ad campaigns for our review!
• i am so very jealous of the fabulous black swan night park & cube got to experience, which i found via dress, design & decor.

here's to another grateful week.
