Proud of Prada: Some Like It Hot...

Prada, Soho/NYC

Have you ever noticed how much New Yorkers like 'window shopping'?
It's even more fun - [once, in a while, on a poor cash 'diet'] - to shop windows, especially in a city that prides itself in 'window' displays.

My favorite, of course, 'season' to 'window shop' is Christmas! The most amazing decorations one can see in NYC - in Soho and 5th Ave - they're the most creative displays I've found in the city, which, after 5 years of absence from NYC, I'm looking forward to seeing this year!

Bergdoff Goodman, Saks 5th Ave, Barney's NY, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany's... - as I recall, the way they handle 'window' decorations is to actually hiring professionals in 'window decorations' industry- [a.k.a. seasonal employees] - if not available in-house. How do I know?

Back in the days, when I worked for Cardinal of Canada Canadian label on 56th and 6th Ave., I used to communicate with all the department stores and boutiques on a regular basis and knew ins-and-outs of the clothing industry...[Yes, I did the swatches too and the showroom's showings and the trade/fashion shows as well, and somewhere in my closet I still have my very first cashmere coat, made in Italy by Cardinal of Canada...And, still, after 10 years, it looks fashionable!]

Couldn't help myself from checking the 'windows' in Soho the other day, especially my favorite one - Prada...Always surprise me with their window 'set-up'...This month, they are featuring a rather 'ala Doctor Zhivago' and 'Czarist Time' women in fab furs, winter white long coats, knit-hats and long leather gloves...The details of the clothes and accessories are immaculate - as always...

(Can't get enough of fabulous, absolutely gorgeous Julie Christie, as Lara, in the film "Dr. Zhivago"...)

And the 'baggage scene' reminds me a bit of Some Like It Hot...It really made me to look forward to the winter!



What's your 'winter' must-haves?

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
