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 favorite summer weekend.  america.  family.  summer.  lakes.  sunshine.  cocktails.  i could go on and on!

a picture worth a thousand words:

{full disclosure: this photo of our labradoodle bella is from last summer, but i won't be home with internet access til late tonight 
 to share new ones, and i think this sums up life pretty well today!}

this week's blog love:

• ashley nicole catherine has the absolutely fabulous marchesa resort 2012 collection.  stunning gowns.  hard to choose, but i think i love the leopard + turquoise best. 
• when i saw that this week's collection post on oh, hello friend was entitled glitter i knew i was in for a treat!  am also a huge fan of her drive-in movie date night.  completely adorable!
• mixtapes & cupcakes inspires us with images from finding neverland.  such a wonderful film.
• 8000 paper lanterns floating in the sky is just as cool as it sounds.  reminds me of disney's rapunzel (yes i saw that movie!). via best week ever.
• {frolic!} has some phenomenal hot air balloon photos.  i wish i wasn't terrified of heights, i always wanted to take a ride when i was little...

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