16 holiday vitrines from the London department store
Comments
These are all very glamorous window decorations, but knowing that it is Christmas time, they look like somebody wanted to avoid at all costs a reference to Christmas, er, the holiday, besides gifts and glitter.
I'll take the red chucks and bike! Sigh. Wish I were in London with you. Merci d'envoyer la belle carte de Noël. (Sorry if this is not correct, used www.dictionary.com) Thank you! I have a lot of catching up to do. Been so busy. Merry Merry Christmas Tara. xoxo
The blue spiral stairs and the blue sleigh...sigh.
All of it! The red phone booth.
Your name on the car's license plate!!! Too cute.
If anyone deserves a little bling this season, it's you Tara!

how cool would it be to have a loft apartment and some of those bejeweled objects in there just for the heck of it? I absolutely love the sleigh.. and the phone booth - just think if that's where you kept your phone!!!
sigh.
thank you for taking the pics and sharing. you're so lucky!! and we're lucky to have you.
As I kept scrolling, I kept thinking "that's my favorite, the sleigh! No the TV! No the phone booth!...My internal dialog went on and on like that. Till i realized that they are all brilliant!
So not only do you get to live in Paris (the dream of so many!), but you apparently also manage to zip over to London for a wander or two past the beautifully-decorated shops there. Ah well, at least you're the sharing kind, so we get to gawk as well. Thanks Tara.
I've got a question..... what do the stores do with all of the holiday props and decor when Christmas is over? It obviously took a lot to think it up, set it up, etc....but what happens with the items when they're all taken down? Hopefully all of the stuffed teddy bears/foxes in one of your other photos are donated to Children's Charities or something like that......? :)

Firstly I love the personalised number plate on the Mini and do you think I should glitter my spiral staircase?
