Festive Windows
December is upon us and christmas shopping season well underway.
Wandering the streets of London during the christmas season is a wonderful experience.
Every year the big department stores go all out with creativity. Showcasing the most fantastic products, often specially commissioned by the store, in a theme chosen at least a year in advance with major planning and hard work.
Inspirations are collected from fashion, theatre, arts and currents affairs.
Music, layout, displays and scents play a big role in enticing customers into these magical stores and, of course, to part with our hard earned cash.
Selfridges London has chosen to celebrate storytelling as their theme this year, with each window embracing a fairytale or a classic children's story. Truly stunning!

Not forgetting all the sparkling light displays around town from Bond Street to Regent Street. A fantastic feast to the eye.
