The interminable jazz improv versions of Jingle Bells blaring at The Grove and Rodeo and Nordstrom tend to have the opposite effect on many of us seeking Christmas cheer. All the more reason why I like “Early Christmas,” an earnest and beautiful fashion story by Alix at the French blog Cherry Blossom Girl (also a killer song from Air’s 2004 Talkie Walkie). Simply styled with Topshop, H&M, Chloé and YMC. Les festivités peuvent commencer! —Krista Jennings
