I don't know about you but I've had some trouble getting into the Xmas spirit this year. Between work and traveling and the normal daily grind we call life, it has felt more like one of those crappy, cold, uneventful months (yes, I'm talking about you, March) than December. So this weekend I decided to take matters into my own hands and dive headfirst into this crazy holiday. And what luck - Saturday just so happened to be one of my favorite events of the year: Sutter Creek's Old Fashioned Christmas Open House!!
For those of you poor souls that haven't had the pleasure of attending this event, I can summarize it in 2 words: Stars Hollow. And for those of you even poorer souls that don't understand the Stars Hollow reference (Gilmore Girls. Netflix. Get on it.), you'll just have to trust me on this one. This isn't an event so much as it is an experience. It is literally like stepping onto a movie set of a small town during Christmas time and it's the absolute highlight of my December. I highly recommend you make it part of your Xmas tradition.
Unfortunately the weekend was marred by a tragic toe injury, so my outfits consisted mainly of Uggs (which do NOT belong on a pseudo-fashion blog. Ever.). After trying on almost every pair of shoes I own this morning, I managed to shove my club foot into a pair of low wedges and not cry, so I built my outfit around those. It was a perfect opportunity to wear my new black-and-white striped shell that I bought on Black Friday. It's a little prision-esqe yet it's striped, so I feel a bit like a preppy convict. Like I might shiv someone with a fountain pen at any moment. Watch out! :)
