my friday five
15.05 | five things i've been obsessed with lately.
happy friday
welcome back to my friday five, episode two. there is something so comforting about looking back on a week through the small things and moments that filled it. not usually the big moments(those are few and far between most weeks), but the little details i kept returning to—a new candle, a dessert i already can’t wait to make again, a photo i saved on my nightly scroll, or a piece of writing that lingered in my head for a little while.
these posts feel like opening my notes app to you, or inviting you into the mundane moments held at home. i love reading these types of posts, and it’s so fun letting you peek into the corners of my week.
here are this weeks friday five. maybe you’ll find a new favourite.

1. recent read
daisy darker by alice feeney—it’s been so incredibly cool, overcast and rainy the past week or two here in nova scotia, and this book has been the perfect companion. i’ve been on an alice feeney kick lately, so it’s no surprise i decided to pick up another of her books. daisy darker took me a little longer to get into, but a little ways in i really started to get hooked. without saying too much, it’s about a family that are all reunited at their family home on a piece of land that becomes inaccessible when the tide comes up. a huge storm rolls in, and family members keep turning up dead. it’s the perfect mystery read for the moody weather we’ve been having—i love when what i’m reading lines up with the atmosphere.
2. perfect basic tank
these zara tanks — i bought the black and the white, tempted to get the pink aswell… i love the fit, they’re a nice thick cotton that holds its shape well. i love the added details of the scalloped edge threading on the neckline and bottom trim, and i love that the waistline is slightly dropped in the front instead of just being a regular straight seam. those details make basics feel a little more elevated.
3. comfort show re-watch
my pretty little liars rewatch—what’s better than sinking into a great new tv show? sinking into an old one with 20+ episodes per season. they just don’t make em like they used to. pretty little liars has been a favourite of mine since it released on tv back in 2010. they put the show back on netflix late last year some time, but for some reason despite being such a cozy show for fall, i always find myself craving a rewatch in the spring.
4. walking shorts
nike running shorts — while i know cute will be very subjective when describing these shorts, i think they’re very flattering and cute! i got a green pair and a blue pair. i think once you see my outfit inspo hopefully the vision makes more sense.
i’ve been looking to make my walking clothes a little more chic, because i am so motivated by cute outfits. looking put together leads to me feeling my best, so i’m gradually working on my “out for a walk” wardrobe. it’s been a struggle to find warm weather friendly walking fits! i feel like it’s so much easier in the fall and winter with leggings and barn coats to rely on, or when in doubt wearing a big puffer coat that covers the whole outfit anyway.
5. mini bubble dress
this bubble mini dress — i just got this in the mail (hence the wrinkles) and i’m obsessed. it’s so so soft, comfortable and light! i think it will be perfect to throw on over a bikini when heading to the beach. it’s lined and sewed in so it doesn’t feel like it’ll blow around too much and show things you don’t want shown. i bought the blue and now they have a red which i’m tempted to pick up as well!
there you have it, this weeks friday five. i hope you enjoyed and maybe found a new favourite of your own.
with love, kyla
