Check the entire “5 things that bring me joy this week” weekly series here, a collection of seemingly insignificant things that serve as a reminder to appreciate the little things — those small joys that make a difference in our day-to-day.

May began on a busy note and I am already feeling this week and can’t wait for the weekend. Especially as I haven’t been sleeping great for whatever reason and I am tired — coffee is my best friend these days.

Here are the 5 things that are bringing me joy this week:

• the flame tree (Delonix Regia — pictured) “burning” aka blooming all over the city. It’s such a joyous sight!

• “stumbling” upon two gorgeous summer skirts. I mean, they’re… joy, just wait till you see them…

• concocting fun weekend plans. Since this past weekend, the forecast promised intense weather + rain (which, surprise — once again, did not happen), we didn’t make plans. And that means that I just can’t take another weekend at home or go shopping — I don’t enjoy that as much as one would think… With that said, the idea of going someplace new (fingers crossed) sure does bring joy.

• the bunch of tulips my husband surprised me with… He knows that they are some of my favorite spring flowers…

• the new Sarah Flint collection drop! It’s stunning and the raffia styles are what my dreams are made of. I’m utterly in love with the Rosie and the Parker Sling 50 — they’re the ideal shoes for the summer!
