Holiday Windows...

"Holly: Sure. Sure. He's okay. Aren't you, Cat? Poor old Cat.Poor slob. Poor slob without a name. I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is, but I know what it's like. It's like Tiffany's.
Paul: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store?
Holly: That's right. I'm crazy about Tiffany's. Listen. You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul: The "mean reds?" You mean, like the blues?
Holly: No. The blues are because you're getting fat or it's been raining too long. You're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid, and you don't know what you're afraid of. Don't you ever get that feeling?
Paul: Sure. Some people call it angst.
Holly: When I get it, what does any good is to jump into a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness, the proud look. Nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany's, then... then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name...I'm sorry. You wanted something. Oh, the telephone."

Ohhh..I do't know what it is exactly but this is the feeling I've been having. Ms. Golightly couldn't have said it better. Lately I've been upset, afraid, sad and for what...I don't know. Well the cure for me isn't Tiffany's (though I do love staring at the place). It's Manhattan-yup...New York City. I know this sounds weird since I live in the city (well...Brooklyn). But there's something about the city that I can't help but love...the busy streets, the fast pace...the stores! While Holly Golightly had Tiffany's, I have Victoria's Secret, Juicy Couture, and SoHo (okay that's not a sore but, gotta love the environment!)

Anywhoo...as I walked aimlessly around Manhattan i started to notice something that I haven't really paid attention to before. THE STORE WINDOWS ARE ABSOLUTELY FAB! All my fave stroes has such ornate displays that I'm actually shocked that I haven't paid attention to this before.

Macy's:
The theme for the Macy's window was the movie "Miracle on 34th Street". It's really cool seeing how realistic the window displays are. They replicate some scenes which I think is really cute.







Looks like I'm not the only one feelin' the green movement. I was passing Barney's New York, it's obvious that they've caught on to the whole green thing. Their window displays are all made of recycled goods.




This window had things made out of MetroCards..that's right- Metrocards!

















A second window display was created from cans and bottle caps. These people are wonderful artists to come up with these things. Check out Rudolph!


















And lastly, this window is made out of acorns. One can't ever be too surprised in NYC anymore. There also a tree with the names/pics of celebs who are part of the cause to help the environment...and all that jazz.


















Bloomingdales:
Bloomingdales partnered up with the Children's Museum of Art (or something like that...I just know it was for kids)for their windows. And since there were sooo many parents taking pics of their kids in front of the windows, it was hard to actually get a good picture. But just know that it was full of colours and made me wish I was a kid again (sorry, I felt the need for a cheesy line). =)
















And lastly...I just got camera happy and started snapping pics of random things. Hey I'm documenting New York City!




Anyways, after walking around for a bit and spending a few dollars (I'm still trying to find a way to enter Victoria's Secret without walking out with a bag) I must say I feel a bit better!
