Oktoberfest Sunday
Monday, October 10th, 2011 | 51 Comments 
On Sunday there was a local Oktoberfest. Ate some bratwurst, caramel corn, and walked around. The weather was perfect. An amazing clear autumn day. Cool but not chilly.

Lebkuchen! It’s like a baked soft gingerbread with sweet icing decoration. 
They started selling these at the festival a few years ago. Apparently they’re from some German bakery in Va but I’ve never visited it. 
I bought some cinnamon black tea to enjoy with the sweet! Great combination since lebkuchen is a bit on the dry side.
I had today off work for Columbus Day. I did my best to stay UN-BUSY. 
I haven’t really been around online much. Usually when I have a holiday like this I end up busting ass to clean the house or run errands but I really need some “breaks” so I mostly napped today. Did return something to H&M tonight though, and did a few loads of laundry. Oh well

What a cute event! I’m jealous, you’re still able to wear short sleeves even when it’s almost the middle of October! I already dug out my winter jackets, haha. (:
I also find myself way too occupied on these long holiday weekends, it’s always cleaning or catching up with the endless list of things to do.
Yeah it got unusually warm this week over here!!
Such a lovely event! We don’t have any sorts of festivals here~ except Oktoberfest beer /pub ads are everywhere. Lol~ Hope you had some quality rest and recharge time!
I totally took my Sunday off and had 12 hours of sleep, haha! 
cute gingerbread! :3
12 hours of sleep! Sounds like heaven!
i love autumn days. ;D
your braid is super cute. love it!
Thanks Oct! Yeah, warm autumn days are my favorite.
Your whole look is so subtly ‘Oktoberfest appropriate’ here, I love it, haha ♥ I haven’t had lebkuchen since I was 7 & lived in Germany! The cinnamon black tea pairing sounds so good too~
Glad you had a pretty restful ‘holiday’!
Thank you for noticing! Yeah, why not fit the theme of the day ya know?!
Love your hair, it’s so cute!
Thanks
I never went to Oktoberfest before but I’m sure I’d totally enjoy their food there.
When I get a day off, that’s usually my time to run my errands as well because really, that’s the only free time I have to do these things. It’s a bit annoying sometimes. But yeah, for the sake of sanity, it’s good every now and then to actually take a break on an off-day. xD
Same situation here. Even when you have free time away from one thing it usually shifts to another “task.” It’s a struggle to get ACTUAL “free time.” I have to plan it, it never happens on its own.
yeah i do my best to stay as un-busy as possible during weekends nowadays too ~ maybe it has to do with getting older, but i get tired so much more easily now ! haha
love your outfit as usual ~! x)
I think also you don’t realize but you have SO much more to “get down” as you get older too.
I read that you ate “camel corn” at first instead of “carmel corn” -_- I was like “is that an East coast thing?!?!”
Mmmm camels :9
Ah, I’d love to attend an Oktoberfest one day! We’ve got a pretty big one in Kitchener (in Ontario) but I want to do a semester of Uni in London and nip over to Germany and celebrate there. The German club at my uni was talking about organising a trip to the one in Kitchener but it doesn’t seem likely that they’ll go through with it. It seems like a lot of fun though- food and polka! Cute shirt too
Ah, seeing the real deal would be AMAZING!
Your post is making me SO hungry! CARAMEL CORN? Cinammon black tea? Lebkuchen (!?!?)??? Your outfit is darling as always.
Hahaha yeah, it’s my last big hurrah food-wise. Now it’s time to eat right until Christmas holidays *excluding Thanksgiving LOL
Ooh I’ve always wanted to go to an Oktoberfest! Looks like a lot of fun and lots of interesting things to do!
You’re super cute, as always! In Dutch we also say “proost!” 
Cheers!!
Your outfit is really pretty. A bit of off-topic but what does Prost mean?
Cheers!
Picture beer steins clanging together!
Octoberfest, a piece of real German culture, hahaha! I’ve never been to the real october fest in Munich, though! It is way too expensive and too far from where I live
I really love the fotot from you and the Lebkuchenherz! Na dann Prost
(It means cheers, but I’m sure you’ll know that)
Oh, I had read entrance was free (but of course everything else costsssssss LOL!)
Haha, Oktoberfest all over the world but they are not similar to the original at all!!
Well, but I do not like Oktoberfest anyway…
Enjoy your lebkuchen, Jenny!
Oh of course not! It’s really just a “german festival” and hardly that
Hey Jenny! It’s always nice enjoy a Lebkuchen isn’t it? :3
I’m naturaly from German, so I love all this stuff like bratwurst and all! We are having oktoberfest here in Brazil too, but I think I won’t have time to go this year :/
Kisses
Aw I’m sorry to hear you’ll miss it, es tut mir Leid~~ But it’s cool to hear how “Oktoberfest” is celebrated all around the world in some fashion!
I like your hair, as its getting longer
and now I really want Olympus camera lol..
just saw many people used it through instagram and flickr.
Oh instagram users use Olympus too? I thought it was just an iPhone app. Though you could upload Olympus photos to iPhone & do it that way. I just did that to send my friend some photos
Sounds like lots of fun~~ The cookie looks soo good! I love spice cookies especially those dutch ones that looks like windmills
Ah yeah, I haven’t had one of those in some time
Your dress is beautiful!! I love the paesant look..
Why thank you
I thought it might fit the celebrations.
Super cute outfit. ^ ^b
Thanks Sia
OMFG. They have it everywhere? Seriously? Where i live, we have many germany families, so this sweet turned out as a “regional sweet”! We eat this all year, but they are most eaten on Christmas♥ The icing decoration here is made of Glacê. I never went to a Oktoberfest, but i wish i could♥
You talking about the Lebkuchen??? Ah yeah well it’s here at least and seems Oktoberfest festivals are celebrated around the world given many above comments. Yeah, the non-traditional hearts only and sold at this festival and not at xmas like usual. But people just want anything German at these festivals so they serve them up!
It’s pretty much like the “pão de mel”(honey cake), but have different ingredients right? Gingerbread is also really tasty :3
oooh! this looks like so much fun! I love your cheery outfit! Your shoes are just so cute!
Thanks!
I love your sandals! Gotta figure out when/where our local Oktoberfest is, all these blogs keep postin’ about it and it looks like fun ;-;
Oh I hope you guys have one!
Yeah I think it was my last day for sandals. Too cold again now :(
aaah that outfit + braid is perfect for oktoberfest! here, we don’t have any proper celebration for it, so many of my friends went to germany for a weekend! but i hear it’s all about drinking beer, which i don’t really like, so it might not be my thing.
looks like you have warm weather still btw, lucky you!
Ah thank you! I wanted to dress fitting the day
. Sadly it’s colder already today. Too cold for sandals ;_;
hey pretty lady!
Haha I don’t even know how to pronounce that word LOL
“yummmmm” ;P
What an adorable tunic! Thanks for sharing
Aw such a cute outfit. You look adorable, as always
