Bottega Veneta ..... Best Xmas Windows in Beirut!!!!

January 10, 2012 8:30 AM

Inspired designer "accessorations" take a variety of forms!!!!!

The Christmas window "accessorations" at Beirut's

Bottega Veneta

were extravagant, entertaining, & brilliant!!!!

Imagine every classic Bottega handbag shape ......

as a white candle!!!!

And, if that's not enough "fabulocity" ........

the candle wax was pressed

into the classic woven leather texture

of these fabulous Bottega bags!!!!!

I tried to beg, borrow, or steal them ........

they were the perfect gift for my chic Lebanese hostess!!!!

But, I was told "absolutely not"!!!!!

Oh well, I guess it's the thought that counts!!!

Why is this Giant Stiletto In Front of Bergdorf's???

November 22, 2011 8:30 AM

The strangest "street accessorations" are always in NYC .....

& this week's weirdest is this divine red stiletto,

emerging from the sidewalk in front of

Bergdorf Goodman!!!!!

Maybe it's a very chic Fifth Avenue bike rack ????

Nah, I don't think so!!!

What else could it be ....

Do you have any other ideas????

#3 Museum of Everything's "Windows of Everything"!

October 19, 2011 8:00 AM

James Brett's Museum of Everything pop-up is extraordinary,

the "Store of Everything" is fantastic .......

but Selfridges "Windows of Everything" are the best!!!!!

Imagine devoting every window on Oxford Street,

a gigantic city block in London,

spanning the front of one of the world's greatest stores,

to "everything" that can't be sold!!!!

This is a phenomenal design installation,

and I applaud the Selfridges team for being sooooo brave!!!

This is a major tribute to the arts ....

but I can't help wondering,

who in NYC would ever be this brave?????

The Museum of Everything 4.0 is spectacular ....

but the "Shop of Everything" is incredible!!!

Imagine James Brett and Selfridges collaborating

to create this amazing "shopping mecca of everything" ....

thinking of soooo much fabulous "everythingness"!!!!

I bought tons of great "everything gifts" ....

to take back to NYC!!!!

Remember ...... Christmas is coming!!!!

This window full of antique sewing machines .....

I loved the Christian Louboutin Mount Street windows in London!!!!!

Another enchanting tidbit from my London Design Spy!!!

It's time to forget the winter doldrums .....

spells out the brand's name in neon lettering!!!

The powder coated letters are color-corordinated ..........
