Happy Friday! We’re ending the week on a great note having gotten some positive health news. Long story short, after my clogged duct cleared, I happened to be feeling my breast to make sure it was gone and found a lump in a different area. I ended up going to the doctor who prescribed an ultrasound and I was able to get that done this week. It’s just a super swollen lymph node (actually two)– they think I actually was fighting off mastitis, not just a clogged duct, and so it’s draining through the lymph node? I felt kind of dumb jumping through hoops to go to the doctor because I did assume it was all related to the clogged duct just based on the timing of finding the lump, but nonetheless, it was a relief and I’m glad I didn’t ignore it just in case. Just a good reminder to do self-exams and to stay on top of your health! Better to be safe than sorry.
Here’s what has been on my radar this week:
ONE // Cookie Fries
Is this not the most genius idea for cookies? We loooove dunking cookies in milk in our house. Baking cookies into “fry” shapes with a crinkle cutter makes so much sense. They end up being the best shape for dunking. Why didn’t I think of this?! Brilliant!
TWO // Doen’s Fall Collection
Doen’s first collection of the fall season dropped and, omg, it looks incredible. I love everything Doen does– the quality is always impeccable and I love their silhouettes and fabric choices. I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites– they’re all so good– but I think I’m going to get either this short sleeve top or this long sleeve top. (Let me know your fave between the two!) This dress would be stunning for a fall wedding, this dress has a gorgeous rich print that could be dressed up or down, and I’m even loving this short silhouette!
THREE // Fall Ballet Flats
Speaking of fall finds, A. Soliani released their fall ballet flats and it’s taking everything in me not to order one of every color 😉 I think the Army Green suede would be a great “neutral” flat for fall and I can see it going with so much of my fall wardrobe.
FOUR // Paris Souvenir Shop
Do I have a trip to Paris planned? No. Did I save this video anyway? Yes. What a charming little shop filled with special treasures! After watching this TikTok, I went and found their Instagram too and it’s so playful and fun. Will absolutely be making a visit the next time I find myself in Paris.
FIVE // Portable TV
We don’t have a television in our room due to the configuration (the walls are all windows and closets!) but lately I’ve been craving a tv in there just for cozier evenings. (Right now I stream shows on my laptop while I needlepoint.) This portable television is so cool… It rolls around making it a nice workaround solution. If you have one, let me know! Now I’m getting served Reels and TikToks about it and I’m more tempted than ever!
