Wintery Windows

Okay so they aren't THAT "wintery" per say but they are Christmas-y and they look like little portals into a much more fun world! While in London, I walked down Oxford Street at night, of course, to see the lights and the window displays at their best! I was OVERLY impressed with Selfridges window displays and really, they're toy department was incredible! I have to share some of the amazing finds I saw there and if you ask me, I want some of these "Ugly Dolls" for myself, they are incredible... especially the one that's made to look like Karl Lagerfeld! Hilarious!

Okay, quick digression... posting this photo inspired me to Google Image Karl Lagerfeld as he is a pretty interesting individual (as a photo subject I mean) and can I just take a moment to "awe" at the photograph below...Photo courtesy of frillr.com. Who can look this cool while jumping in the air? Answer: No one! Have you ever zoomed in on the face of someone doing a Jump-in-the-air photo (you've all done one, admit it!)? It's impossible to make a normal face... unless you're Karl Lagerfeld apparently... maybe if you could see his eyes, it would give his smoothness away but I doubt it.

Back to the dolls, aren't they so fun?

Thank you Selfridges Toy Shop! 


Back outdoors I "oo'd" and "aw'd" at the window displays which were brimming with fantasy settings. It's really interesting to see how window displays can become forms of artistic expression... this first one is a particular favorite. I love all the little camper vans...here's a personal tid-bit, I want to own a camper van like those ones some day.. full size of course!

It was such a riot just to walk around Selfridges and it was highlight (amongst many) of my mini-break to London! 


Big Hugs!

PS. Here is one last photo from Selfridges that I have to share! Have a look at these amazing sunnies I found... You'd definitely be making a statement sporting any of these...
