Bonnes Fêtes!

As 2012 comes to a close, for some of us, Christmas beckons,  and with it respite from the year's striving, followed by tallying of  accomplishments and mistakes .
Mais non, that sounds far too sober, let's have a look at Holiday windows in NewYork City, and Paris instead, yes? After all, la vie est belle....
The Cartier Mansion on NYC's 5th Ave is wrapped in sparkling Red  and crawling with  Panthers 

The Winter Holidays  are a most important time for merchants.  See how some French luxury brands  staged their store displays to entice tasteful and generous gift givers.

Dior on East 57th St. NYC juxtaposes glowing acrylic 18th century rococo and neoclassicist elements  with contemporary minimalist elegance
Cinderella's Carriage was lent by Disney, and on view at Paris' Galerie Lafayette in honor of their 100th Anniversary.


 
 And we leave you with a visual and link to a Style Bistro slideshow of Paris' splendid Printemps Dior windows, wishing you joy and peace this holiday season and a Golden Nouvelle An.
