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

It always feels a bit off talking about joy and things that bring this feeling on days when the absolute worst has happened… Things that changed the course of the world. Yes, I’m talking about 9/11. I still remember it clearly, and I don’t think anyone alive at the time forgot about it and everything we felt that day.

Yet, as the old adage goes, life goes on, but we never forget…

On another note, it feels like this week is dragging and I’m so ready for it to be over. Here are 5 [random] things that are helping me get through it and bring me joy:

  • this deep red patent leather waist belt I found! I also shared it on my Instagram and on ShopLTK for a better look, and I’m so excited to wear it! I love the color and can’t wait to pair it with these Sarah Flint flats (sadly, they’re currently unavailable).

  • finally finding this sweater in stock! I’ve been eyeing it for weeks now, and it was sold out in my size. Since it runs big, I figured it’d come back in stock at some point, and I was so glad to finally snatch it. This sweater brings me joy, and especially for Florida, it’s great for any season! Yes, it’s currently sold out again, but it can become available at any time!

  • Emily in Paris… I shared in my August at-a-glance post that we were watching it and sorry not sorry, but it’s true — this show still brings me joy! Sylvie is currently my favorite character!

  • cleaning up my makeup sponges and brushes. Here’s your friendly reminder to do the same! But seriously, why does this simple task bring so much satisfaction?

  • a long weekend for me! It doesn’t happen much, so you bet I’ll be enjoying it.

What’s bringing YOU joy this week?

xo,

Em
