A roundup of some beautiful things that I love…

These petite (just over an inch!) bronze feet are for my beloved coach who is a fellow movement nerd and knows that feet are THE thing when it comes to moving well in one’s body…

I have this sweet little Clare V. poche below that I wear all the time. The green and black check is no longer available but I think this black quilted one is pretty great…

This No Thank You sweatshirt was my birthday gift to myself this year…

And these way high drape pants from Everlane are fantastic. I have a linen version and the black ones. They are incredibly flattering and comfortable, and they look awesome with my Nike Blazer Jumbos

I bought this hourglass for my son…

I am giving this Gestura kitchen spoon to a dear friend who loves to cook and appreciates beautiful design…

Along with The Only Tongs from Material…

I have wanted to eat at Via Carota in NYC for a long time. I have yet to get there but am excited about Jody Williams and Rita Sodi’s new cookbook

The Pathfinder is the best non-alcoholic spirit I’ve tried (and the packaging is gift-worthy)…

Sarah Winman’s Still Life is a book that delighted me this year…

These napkins from Cultiver are so soft and beautiful and make a lovely hostess gift…

We have an amazing little torilla shop, Milpa Masa, in our neighborhood. I bought this beautiful tortilla basket for the nights when we do the best ever carnitas

This Super Healthy Skin body crème from Beauty Pie is so good. It might be the thing I’m gifting most this year…

I love the prints from Sandgrain Studio. This one is for my nephew…

And for several of the ten year olds in my life, a Magic 8 Ball

When we had our neighbors over for Thanksgiving, we sat around the fire after dinner talking and I offered decaf coffee. The delight was noticeable and it occurred to me that I don’t think a lot of coffee drinkers stock decaf at home. I think it would be a treat to receive a bag of beans if that is the case and the Night Light Decaf from Blue Bottle is my go to.

Lastly, Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks is a book that changed my life. I’ve gifted it to several people and I’ve been trying to write a blog post about it since I finished it back in March but am still working on it. So in the meantime, go buy yourself a copy!
