It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…

Some of my fave festive window schemes from the high street this year:

Above: Zara Oxford St West puts on 3 different shows, from puppets to demonic horns to sparkly chic

Above: Zara Oxford Circus puts on a gothic & beautiful still-life piece of theatre, like a mysterious scene from Hansel & Gretal.

Above: John Lewis creates minimal elegance with a Scandinavian feel, even down to the detail of the pricing signs being framed in wood and nailed onto a tree.

Above: Topshop Oxford Circus goes for a simple White Christmas, with the real drama being in the styling.

Above: H&M also goes for a White Christmas. I’m hoping this scheme will develop over the coming weeks.

Above: Not especially festive but I just love Oasis on Argyll Street. The styling’s great, the mannequins are beautiful, the scheme is striking. Can’t wait to see what they do next!

My Christmas Wish List

I’ve started asking it, you’ve probably started asking it and most importantly people have started asking you. And when they ask, you need to be able to give them precise instructions. So, what do you want for Christmas? Here is my preliminary Wish List; some items are more realistic than others but it’s always worth putting it out there!

The Department Store by J. Whitaker from Amazon, The Rules of Civility by A. Towles from Amazon, Lady Gaga by Terry Richardson book at WH Smith, Round frame sunglasses from ASOS, Benefit ‘The Porefessionsal’ Pore Minimising Primer from House of Fraser, Polaroid 300 Instant Camera, Pink Flask by Thermos, new Amy Winehouse CD from HMV, and Chanel earmuffs…
