Right Now | Good Bones

Right Now | Good Bones
It’s pouring rain outside and I’m soothing my worn out muscles* with a heat pad and drinking a latte before I get ready for lunch with a friend I’ve known since middle and high school but have started growing closer to in adulthood. It’s funny how relationships come back into your life in unexpected ways and end up being some of the most important. Though it’s only Tuesday, I feel particularly heavy-hearted this week and am really looking forward to a date.

We’ve been running around getting ready for Christmas, both at our store and personally. My side of the family and most of David’s will be in town for or after the holiday so it’s going to be a hectic time. But we’ll have Christmas day to ourselves and I hope the rain stays away long enough for us to take a walk after French toast and mimosas in the afternoon. We’ve had to forgo some of our traditions this year (like a tree and yearly ornaments, things I realized I’m very sentimental about and attached to), but I want to make sure we try to have a good day despite how not-in-the-spirit we feel. David is so sweet to point me toward Jesus when I’m feeling most down. I’ve needed the encouragement even during a holiday that is meant to celebrate his birth.

*I’ve been getting out of the house less and less, except in the case of my workouts. I finally got over the mental obstacle that prevented me from going to the gym more than once a week, and I’m very glad. Exercise and routine is good for me, and I forgot how much I love barre and spin. I’m training for my third half-marathon, too, so I’m a little achy and tired but in the best way.

Winter Wishes

Winter Wishes | Good Bones

Winter Wishes | Good Bones

I’m a gift giver at heart, so finding thoughtful presents for our loved ones is a fun task I look forward to every year at Christmas (even when it’s daunting to pick out the right gift for David!). It becomes even more special because we have another opportunity to support independent shops, designers, and makers, something that’s very important to us. I always seem to revise my own wishlist in the process, so here’s a little bit of Christmas dreaming.

//Black Crane long pleats dress.
//Hasami teapot because I’ve mostly given up coffee and finally embraced this chilly weather that’s perfect for tea drinking.
//Primecut Palomino pouch.
//RMS lip2cheek in Illusive, a beautiful, rich color for winter.
//Drift Riot’s line studs are the minimal, elegant earrings of my dreams.
//David and I could both use a catch-all to keep our everyday items organized and this Billykirk leather tray would be a gorgeous solution.
//My skin needs all the help it can get during the winter months and I’m eager to try this Glossier face mask.
//I’ve been on the hunt for a coat that I can wear over bulkier tops but continue to come up short. Lauren Manoogian’s Capote coat is forever out of my price range but forever one of my favorites.
//Fort Standard + Areaware balancing blocks.
//New Balance 620 sneakers in all white, comfort and style for days.

  • I haven’t felt terribly festive this year (a statement I’ve probably made for 4+ years) but we’re going to Kentucky on Christmas Day and I’m crossing my fingers for snow to put me in the holiday mood. Because of the bookstore we don’t get to take vacations or visit family often and we are beyond ready for some time away.
  • I hope new plant growth always excites me as much as it does today.
  • Sinus infection day four: dressing way better than I feel. And I promise I don’t wear this skirt every day 🙃
  • Just looking at this painting makes me feel calm.
