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 weekend at home for a best friend's bridal shower + father's day.  didn't realize just how much i needed to get out of the city and be with everyone until i was.  and it went by much too quickly, as always!

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {found a new little park on a walk}

 {obsession with peonies continues}

 {down the block from me, never noticed this before - kinda love when that happens}

 {bargain shopping + al fresco dining with mom}

this week's blog love:

• mixtapes and cupcakes has all sorts of elle fanning love going on this week (i do too - go see super 8!) with miss fanning's marie claire photographs and some beautiful screencaps and thoughts from super 8.
• a glimpse of glamour shows us the most adorable little girls with impeccable style (in lanvin resortwear, no less!) this week.  it's ok that i'm jealous of them...right?
• when i heard alaina of live creating yourself had her apartment professionally photographed i couldn't wait to see how they came out - and it did not disappoint!
• danielle of breakfast at toast plays with pops of navy in interior design.  am in love with those front doors.
• centsational girl has tons of inspiration on how to style bookcases.  as someone with an overwhelming number of books, i'm always looking for new ways to make them aesthetically pleasing.
• everyone saw emma watson's gorgeous shots for vogue this week, right?  if not, go check them out at tom & lorenzo NOW!

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