{ bergdorf holiday }

Bergdorf's holiday windows always win my vote for best dressed each year. 

 While last years Recollect might be my all-time favorite, 

this years window series of the Elements was equally brilliant. 

 Thank you bergdorf for yet another year of creative genius.

{ hollywould }

...many of you know I work at a little boutique called Hollywould a few times a month. 

It's on Elizabeth in Nolita...one of my favorite little spots in the city. We had our crazy fall sale this week...

as you can imagine women + fabulous shoes + sale = craziness. 

 This woman came into the store on Saturday...tried stuff on forever & then came back on Sunday. 

 I'm good with faces so I remembered her. We started talking and she said she had woken up in the middle of the night several times, thinking about the shoes and had to come back and buy them! Seriously? 

 I love shoes too but I can proudly say I've never lost sleep over them! 

 Ridiculous, yes, but guys, we like shoes, that's all there is to it...it's the fun part of being a girl!

{ holiday treats }

I know Christmas is over but I couldn't let the year finish without showing a pic of the lovely Christmas display that I was priveleged enough to see everyday on my way up & down the stairs to my apartment. wow. enough said. I'm glad I didn't let the opportunity pass to take a picture of this special holiday treat.

...then, here are the remains of the tree from our apartment. We were so proud of our wrapping job! I know what you're thinking but we got the job done and no pine needles fell out on our way down the stairs. I was so proud of A.M. & I!
