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:

my mom and i got to take my little sister wedding dress shopping in and around chicago all weekend.  oh man, such fun.  and so special.

pictures worth a thousand words:

{our first stop}

{wine flights + cheese at bin 36}

 {out to the burbs we go}

{fun dinner at market}

this week's blog love:

• have you ever gone fake baking?  do you like a sun tan?  yea, me too.  and we need to all listen to av's story at long distance loving.  this one is important, ladies!
• a glimpse of glamour had a lot to love this week: a dress made of children's books (yes!), and a very important and thought-provoking message through the pictures of lee price.
• hello couture!  over at dustjacket attic.
• i think i need to make this tiered succulent planter that craftberry bush dreamed up. brilliant.

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

xo. di.
