Oktoberfest Sunday

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

Down
Oversized Barrettes

What a great weekend!
I feel really re-energized and motivated! 
I got to chill but also felt somewhat productive. I even loaded up Just Dance 2 for the first time in months and played Just Sweat for a little while! See, seriously energized.
I went on a little mission to find nice large barrettes after loving my smaller ones I got back in May. Seeing them in used mix style magazines this month really made me frantic to find some! 
My hair… It’s at that awkward stage where the old way I styled it for a short bob doesn’t work anymore. I have a few ways I’m styling it now but I was still getting a bit bored. I loved how big barrettes looked though! I did a side French braid yesterday with the tan one. 
But even a simple side-swept back look seems more “put together” with an oversized barrette. 
So I looked around. Urban Outfitters had some I liked but they weren’t in stores. 
Thankfully I stopped by Amuse an accessories store in the same mall. I picked up these. 
The two on the right are my favorite. 
Perfect color matches for my recent purchases of fall clothing plus simple and chic too which I liked. 
The two on the left are more “fun.” I got the hearts one to wear next to hair buns
They’re all the perfect size though! SO HAPPY with that! 
I would still like a more decorative homemade looking one. With lace, beads or sequins or something. Below is sorta what has been swimming around in my head 
Outfit that day. It was rainy off/on but still sorta hot. 
New pleated dress from Yesstyle, as well as the bag, aqua tank from H&M, rosary “necklace” Forever21, sandals from Target. I’m just wearing small barrettes in this photo to keep my hair back a little.
