Wrapped in a lighted bow...

It never gets old... Cartier brings back their giant red light ribbon and wraps the store in. Its always a "present" to see the red ribbon.

Walking in a winter wonderland...





Uniqlo celebrates it's first Holiday on fifth Avenue.  Huge neon snowflakes, hanging mirrored balls, and their giant digital media screens; the largest flagship does the largest holiday. I love how busy this is and it is still so clean and simple; just like their stores!

Need a little Christmas...





Faconnable takes their custom denim window and gives it a Holiday Twist. I love the trees made of red thread spools; add a few strings of hanging lights and presto!

"Holly"wood Squares...






Large stacked boxes, red Christmas lights, ribbons and some tag lines: the windows of Cole Haan. Love how the boxes showcase the best of the season, and I am glad that each box has added lighting in each ( a little detail so many forget) Be Bright!!

Up on the rooftop...












Anthropologie windows at Rockefeller Center (on the West). Six windows / three above showcase the house for the Holiday. First window is the dining room downstairs, love the shelf unit with the glass bottle.  The window above shows the peak of the roof.  The middle top window has the attic full of boxes of Christmas lights, and below the front door, with hundreds of holidays cards spilling through he mail slot. The living room below and the library above finishes the house. So detailed, so incredible, so Home for the Holidays...

The felted forest...


Clean, White and "Oh what fun". J Crew's holiday windows. I love the white lights that bleed through the felt and how the  deer has a purple scarf!

Painted Holiday...





Paul Stuart creates windows that look like a walked out from a scene from 1940.  Using NYC landmarks, hand painted images in relief flank the mannequins. I am a little mixed on the total outcome, but love the nostalgia they bring.
