my friday five
five things i've been obsessed with lately.
happy friday!
wanted to start a little series here on boring things—my friday five. i thought it would be fun to share a little collection—of thoughts, of things, of moments, whatever. maybe not each and every friday, but whenever i’ve gathered a few lovely things to share. the small and beautiful things making my days feel a little brighter lately. or maybe a few thoughts i’ve been sitting on the past week. or a collection of books that fit a vibe; i plan to let this little series develop naturally without strict borders.
i’ve always loved reading these kinds of posts myself. there’s something so fun about peeking into everyones world online—seeing the little things they’re loving, using, collecting, wearing, drinking, carrying, etc. i’m so nosy (in the least creepy way), and easily influenced into trying new products so these posts are always so fun for me.
i hope you enjoy my friday five, and maybe even find a new favourite of you own.

I.
this roll neck sweater — the perfect summer knit for throwing on for cool evenings or windy beach and lake days. bright white, 100% cotton, roll neckline. currently 40% off, with an added 10% with code FAMILY. (so almost 50% off).
II.
this strawberry shortcake biscuit recipe — the perfect spring treat. i tweaked the recipe ever so slightly by adding a tiny bit of sugar and splash of vanilla into the biscuit dough. it doesn’t make them too sweet, just enough to add a little more dimension to the biscuit flavour. i’ve made them exactly as written in the recipe as well and they’re delicious either way.
III.
the rare beauty find comfort body mist — citrusy, bright, a little earthy and sweet. the perfect light summer scent, and actually lasts well on the skin and clothes! 4x the points at sephora on fragrance with code BESTSCENTS. i want to try the blue body mist next to see if it’s just as delicious.
IV.
book loft home fragrance — this fragrance is my ultimate favourite home scent. i have the candle, the hand soap, the wallflower refills, and next on my list is the room spray. it’s so hard to describe scent so you’ll have to take my word, its the perfect gentle, slightly woodsy, slightly sweet, fresh and clean smell. to me it just reminds me of the smell of a spring day after a fresh rainfall. it doesn’t necessarily smell like that (i feel like nothing does) but it has the same vibe.
V.
blue striped summer dress — i feel like i’m kind of cheating by including this because i just ordered it myself, but as soon as i saw this striped dress i fell in love. i know this will be worn on repeat this summer, its the perfect colour, i love the stripes, the smocked top and ruffled hem. it looks so flowy and ties in the back to be a little bit adjustable.
there you have it, my friday five. i hope you enjoyed this shorter, more casual style post. until the next one!
with love, kyla
ps. what would be on your friday five?
keep reading boring things:
I love this series already!
Got that same dress two weeks ago! Still waiting for the right occasion to wear it but it‘s so cute!
