Happy October! I scheduled my Fix a little earlier this month so I'd have time to actually blog about it in the month I receive it (next weekend's post is reserved for all things Halloween, obviously). I didn't have anything specific in mind for this fix, so I once again asked Melissa to surprise me. She did a fantastic job, as usual, especially since I have been doing a terrible job of keeping my Pinterest board up to date. I'm also excited that my friend RN of WhiskyWoof recently decided to give Stitch Fix a try (check out her post about it here). She even used my referral link, so shout out to her for technically helping out with the cost of this month's fix! :D

We took a short trip down to San Francisco last weekend to attend our friend SCL's housewarming party. Outside of a few snafus(delayed flight, possessed alarm clock in the hotel room next door, our bag somehow not making it onto our flight home), we had an enjoyable and quite delicious trip.

A few months ago I purchased some Buttercream soft knit solid yarn at Joann's because it was orange and indeed very soft to the touch. I recently got the idea to use it to make a ribbon/top part for my beloved Mohop sandals. My first goal was to make an intricate design that would be stationary and somehow tie onto the loops at the bottom. After spending quite a while trying this with regular ribbons, I realized it just wasn't feasible the way I was doing it. I ended up taking inspiration from this post on Mohop's Facebook page . It turns out this lacing design was created by Rebecca Mojica of Blue Buddha Boutique (my favorite chainmaille source) and she even made a Youtube video of how to do it yourself. I don't have the fancy hybrid sandals Rebecca is wearing, so I attempted to design something that would work for the low wedge and flat sandals I purchased a few years ago.

I love my monthly Stitch Fix box since I always manage to schedule it at just the right time to be something exciting and fun when other stressful stuff is trying to ruin my week. I told my stylist, Melissa, to surprise me this month since I tend to really enjoy the items she sends when she doesn't have to deal with my rambling "I want this" notes.
