2013 BG Window Reveal

Tonight is the night! I have a slight obsession with holiday window displays in NYC, and no one does it quite like Bergdorf Goodman. I went to Bergdorfs for the first time when I was in the city touring Columbia University with my sweet dad. I begged (and begged and begged and begged), and he finally relented, allowing me to drag him from the Plaza to Bergdorfs...and then up and down all of 5th Ave. (Love you, Daddy!)




{ I fell in love with these amazing platform heels that day...aaand pretty much every other shoe in the department }

This year's 'Holidays on Ice' windows were revealed to 5th Avenue at 6pm tonight with Bravo's Andy Cohen emceeing. Here are a few fun facts about #BGWindows that I found on Bergdorf Goodman's addictive blog, 5th/58th.


 2,521 — Times #BGWindows has been used on Instagram (I'm sure that has changed since 6pm tonight...)

365  — Days spent preparing, brainstorming and creating our Holiday Windows, at least

34 — Windows total, including Fifth Avenue (10), 58th Street (4), 57th Street (9), Men’s Fifth Avenue (4) and Men’s 58th Street (7)

15 — Days spent installing the mannequins, props and pieces into the actual Fifth Avenue windows

9 — Feet is the tallest mannequin featured in window

5 — Holidays are re-imagined covered in ice: 4th of July, Arbor Day, April Fools, Valentine’s Day and Halloween

3 — Boroughs in which artisans hand-create our holiday windows props (Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens)

Here are some photos I found on Instagram and online of the window reveal...enjoy!




{ Stunning. Truly stunning. I wouldn't mind getting trapped in that spiderweb. }



{ This reminds me of a set during Taylor Swift's Fearless tour...does anyone else see it? }



 {That gown is almost as divine as the Venus de Milo... }


{ My idea of a winter wonderland }



{ The dogs in this display are such a perfect touch! }



{ Impeccable detailing, especially the pearls }


{ There is such an ethereal quality to this window display. }


{ so.much.pink. }


{ Are there calories in #BGWindows? }

Now the holiday season can officially begin!
