Selfridges Windows

I do love a Christmas window, and these were very bright and very simple, but fabulous fun.

I once made the mistake of leaving my window gazing until Christmas Eve by which time all the windows were stuffed with Sale signs and little else, it was quite a shock to someone who has always harboured quite romantic notions of the shopping experience at Christmas.

Now I make sure I hit the town the first week in December, and better still I have done it without the need to shop, Christmas is more fun looking than spending, though I was very tempted by a lovely tweed coat in Banana Republic, but it is snowing in Germany and this was just not warm enough and so with a heavy heart I put it back.
