Friday favorites: another fabulous week

Where to begin with a week full of so much fabulousness? (Yes, that is a word.)

And finally, as promised, here are photos of some of the items I ordered from MM.LaFleur. (Please disregard the restroom stalls in the background.

But don’t worry, no one else was in there at the time.)
