Fifth Avenue in December
Posted by bellastraniera - 17/12/09 at 03:12 pm Perhaps no other city outside of Germany gets as decked out as New York does for the holidays, which makes it a beautiful time of year to shop and look at the elaborate window displays – though unfortunately, the rest of the world seems to have figured that out too, because they’re all here. Monday was relatively quiet on Fifth Avenue outside of Bergdorf’s, with a few well-dressed shoppers mixing with the crowds stopped in their tracks by the ingenious displays.
One of the most exciting developments was color – and not just holiday colors, but all the colors of the rainbow. Scandanavian chic: Her skirt is from the Pendleton Meets Opening Ceremony collection.

Big headphones are still big in the world of accessories.
Flat black boots and plaid.

Here’s more of that color: a lavender coat with leopard print cuffs and a green bag.
Knitwear and a colorful pom pom necklace.
A menswear-style jacket with skinny jeans. Note: her boots are actually clogs!
Plaid jacket.
A year ago I wouldn’t have liked the combination of leopard with other patterns, but now it looks just right.
Similarly, the unexpectedness of combining a brown tweed cap with a hot pink coat makes it cool.

Black, white and red all over. Note: I suspect that she may be a he.
All black is all business.

Why go for something as pedestrian as red and green when you can wear leopard?
