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:  

an indian summer weekend in chicago (apologies to the marathoners, who were likely not so grateful for 80 degree temperatures!)

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {mums, everywhere!}

 {on top: c's all hallow's read present to me; on bottom: my current read - i'm obsessed and highly recommend!}

{lincoln park seems to have changed color overnight}

{technically cheating on this one: my mom sent me this from our place in northern michigan.  had to share the beauty.}

this week's blog love: 

• live creating yourself's words worth reading is just that.
• a beautiful quote on fall over at a glimpse of glamour.
• some great fall crafts by centsational girl.
• mixtapes & cupcakes shared some beautiful words on mr. jobs.
• the beauty department has another fabulous tutorial for us - this time on applying false lashes.

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

xo. di.
