Guess who got a clean bill of health at my post-op Guess who got a clean bill of health at my post-opp appointment? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I also learned that my ovarian cyst was even bigger than they initially thought (almost 13 cm by 12.12 by 8.6!!!), and that it had twisted my ovary not once, but twice! That’s right, DOUBLE OVARIAN TORSION 😩😩 

And I *still* waffled about whether to go the ER at first 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully I listened to my body in time and I’m going to be okay now, but l am also going to be an even more vocal proponent of women ✨taking our pain seriously✨ because I could have lost my ovary (or my life) if I tried to grin and bear it like I do too often. I think as women we are socialized to do so, but that is garbage and we need to listen to our bodies and intuition about pain 💕 So this is my loving reminder to do just that! 

And THANK YOU for all the love and support and sweet messages and check ups from you babes! I noticed and appreciated each and every one of them, even if I was too loopy to reply to them all! But I’m about to be back to my usual posting soon, and I’m so excited to get back to normal again 🥰
Let’s talk Love Island USA! I’ve been watching Let’s talk Love Island USA! I’ve been watching for years (since UK series 4), but I’ve been especially locked in this season while I’ve been recovering from emergency surgery. I am beyond excited for our beautiful New York human ray of sunshine girlie #amayapapaya and I’m so happy that LOVE won Love Island (after a *really* weird season!) I’ve never seen fanfic made reality like #nicolandria and I hope nothing but the best for them! And I really want us all, as a society, to not hype up manipulative and abusive behaviors just because we think the person is hot. Swipe for more of my Threads and give me all your #loveislandusa takes in the comments 💕
A dreamy @samanthapleet pop up is happening at 135 A dreamy @samanthapleet pop up is happening at 135 Wythe today through Monday 7/14, 11-7 daily!

Highly highly recommend checking out the pop up this weekend. There’s a lot of great stuff I didn’t even get to, including plus in the $60 treasure bins! Let me know if you have any questions about sizing here, and if you aren’t in town, Samantha let me know you can always DM or email sizing Qs and they are happy to help! #samanthapleet #nycpopup #plussizefashion

And yes, I took resting up VERY seriously because I was not about to miss my BFF’s birthday celebration! Nothing recharges me like getting to shenan once and shenanigan with @jimmyjam0309 @winsalma and @seenigel - and oh, did we!! 😁😁😁

It’s my birthday 🥰 Swipe for what I’m actu It’s my birthday 🥰  Swipe for what I’m actually looking like today - DEFINITELY not what I had planned, but I’m so grateful to be home and resting and recovering after everything 💕 Thank you so much for all the messages and support you babes have offered - I feel so loved and cared for 🥹
✨She yearns for the pool ✨ Thank you so much ✨She yearns for the pool ✨ 

Thank you so much for all the sweet well-wishes on my emergency surgery! I feel so loved 🥹 I’ll be resting for a while, but I have plenty of good fashion content in the bank to share with you babes, including the excellent @riviereagency @swimandresortday pool party (aka just the type of vibes I had planned for my bday tomorrow 😩!) More info about this super cute swim set (swipe to see the skirt) on the blog too - it’s on major sale right now and you can use my reader code CURVILY for an extra 15% off (it stacks!)
Definitely not the #OOTD I had in mind for last ni Definitely not the #OOTD I had in mind for last night! I was looking forward to wearing a cute summer dress; instead I ended up wearing a hospital gown for a surprise emergency surgery - right before my birthday too 😩 

But for real though, the horrible timing doesn’t matter because even though no one likes spending 17 hours at the ER, I’m really grateful that @nyphospital took my intense stabbing abdomen pain seriously and figured out that it was A 12 CENTIMETER OVARIAN CYST IN TORSION!!! 

Incredibly unwelcome news (to put it mildly!) but I was really impressed with the great care and treatment of everyone in the OR, down to making me feel comfortable on the table for a surgery I never expected - at 4:00 am, at that!! Thank you to the entire team for your great work and warmth 💕

I’m on bedrest now and will be for a while, and I have some new scars on my belly, but I’m really really grateful that I made it through okay and had @seenigel by my side every step of the way 🥹❤️🥰
