I love Christmas time. Mostly because I absolutely love giving gifts to people, & I love all of the baking involved. Don’t get me wrong, I give gifts & bake goods all year long, but there’s just something about Christmas that makes it more “magical”, if you will. It’s the excitement in the eye of the receiver because they have been excited about (hopefully) receiving a gift and cannot wait to know what it is. It’s waking up to the smell of a freshly baked in kitchen, and seeing tasty treats on the counters just waiting for you to indulge in them.
I chose this vintage dress as one of my possible Christmas dresses. The color, style & fit are just perfect. Plus, it’s comfy & has pockets (!!). I have another dress that I may chose over this one, just for more comfort sake (and the fact that I will be with 5 dogs all day, and I don’t want to get doggy fun on this dress). This outfit is part of the Bloggers Rock the Colors of Christmas event over on Statements in Fashion. When Collette asked me to participate, I was definitely excited. Nothing is more exciting to me than Christmas – well, except Halloween (can you see the 5 year old in there?).
If you celebrate a holiday this time of year, what is your favorite thing about it?
That red looks awesome on you. I love a dress that has pockets. It makes it even more comfy. Great heels Kirstin. You are rockin them!

My favourite things is also giving gifts, I would give endless gifts if I had the money! xx
gawjus! Love your style!
That color looks great on you and I’m totally peeping those Maddens!
My favorite part about Christmas is giving gifts, especially if I know I’ve gotten someone something they really wanted. To me that’s a gift within itself!
pockets in a dress like that? THAT IS MAGICAL!
I know what you mean about the holiday season being much more “magical” too 
It’s my favorite time of year. Love that dress, Kirstin, and of course, your beautiful pumps!

Ooh, love the red, K! I’ve been trying to find the perfect red skirt to don for Christmas but I haven’t yet! Will be heading out to do my nails soon – I’m definitely thinking… RED! And I’m in love with your black Steve Madden pumps – it’s beautiful.
I totally get what you mean – there’s just something so magical about giving during Christmas time. I get really excited to give away all the presents I’ve bought. Wrapping is really fun and tiring too. Haha! Gah, I’m SO excited for Christmas! x

I know just what you’re talking about when you mentioned the “magic” feeling. I am right there with you!
This dress looks incredible on you! Red is such a hard color to pull off, but I think you do it really well and your shoes are incredible. I am a mess at walking and would die in them, but I appreciate them.
