the soubrette brunette: Friday Favorites #32: Christmastime is here

I don't know about you, but I'm definitely in the full swing of holiday cheer! Our house is all decorated, and I'm eager to start baking Christmas cookies and planning our Christmas Eve festivities! Christmas-y apparel is popping up all over, and here are some of my favorites:

a // b // c // d // e // f // g // h // i // j // k

I especially love the Christmas pudding fascinator, the gingerbread house purse (which was available at ModCloth, but sold out very quickly), and that Tatty Devine heart brooch! I would also love to get my hands on those red snow boots, since it's so difficult to find pretty shoes that are weather-resistant!

Isn't this Christmas kitten dress from I'm Your Present just precious? The shop has tons of other Christmas goodies too -- perfect for kitschy stocking stuffers!

And speaking of Christmas kittens, I'm so in love with this kooky cat skirt (which may or may not already be on its way to me... oops):

These Christmas cake necklaces are just delicious!

And so are these holiday designs from Charlotte Olympia:

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

And speaking of fun shoes, I love these green velvet foxy ones!

I want to wear this dress and take part in some holiday period drama:

This white dress is so pretty -- and could work throughout the winter, too (and would be great for New Year's Eve)! I love the bow belt, especially:

I've been eyeing this silver present bow ring for the longest time, and it's so perfect for the holidays:

This green sequin dress is so classy:

And finally, this vintage number is so dear! I love the rosette on the belt!

I always opt for a dress on the holidays, and this year, I'll be wearing this Bernie Dexter dress on Christmas Eve (when we do the bulk of our celebrating). Do you go more casual on the holidays, or do you like to get gussied up like I do? I'm always curious to know about other people's traditions!
