What I Got For Christmas 2017


Since my biggest present was our Disneyland Resort Paris trip a few days before christmas, I didn't expect to get more presents on Christmas Eve. Nonetheless I had some gifts to unwrap, which I will show in the following.

 

First of all I got the tickets, flights, and what not on the 22nd, the day of our flight. A recap with my highlights will soon be up on the blog. On the right side is a 25 anniversary Disneyland Resort Paris Bowl that I got from my neighbours who travelled with us. This will forever remind me of our wonderful trip.
Next to it is my beloved Audrey Hepburn Rubin Collection, which I talked about in this blogpost. 


My two new Filofax planner pages I get every single christmas because I basically can not live without them, haha.
A Lucie Kaas Karl Lagerfeld Kokeshi Doll I first saw at Illum Bolighus in Copenhagen and had on my wish list ever since.
A lovely  Henri Bendel Vanity Tray.


And last but not least, three new books! 
The first book is New York Christmas Baking, which is a new addition to the New York Christmas cookbooks. I am planning on test baking in the new year.
Then I got Vogue On - Manolo Blahnik from my sister. I'm very excited to read it, especially because we once met Manolo Blahnik himself at Bergdorf Goodman in New York a few years ago. I believe the book is a mixture of interviews, backstage stories, and Pictures from his design featured in Vogue and sketches like the one on the cover.
And finally: Paris Through A Fashion Eye by Megan Hess. I skipped through the pages and already saw her beautiful sketches and interesting tips for Museums in and around Paris.

What did you get for christmas?

I hope you had lovely festive days and will dance through the night to welcome the new year.
Love, Laura

When In ... New York -Christmas Edition-

Hello! This year, me and my family spent christmas time in New York City. Even though I was sick in our hotel room most of the time, I would like to share my favorite things to see in NYC during christmas season. 

As you may know, the city that never sleeps goes all out with christmas decoration. You can see beautiful trees and fairy lights in nearly every hotel lobby and around every corner.

For all Gossip Girl fans: the christmas tree in front of the Lotte New York Palace Hotel.
The Kidrobot and Paul Smith Tree at Brookfield Place.

The Christmas Tree at the Beekman Hotel.
The Henri Bendel Christmas Tree.
To finish it all off, the most famous tree of them all.

A must-see in New York is the Christmas Spectacular Show featuring the Rockettes at the Radio City Music Hall. It is an annual musical holiday stage show and a New York Tradition.

                                             



My last tip would be the massive christmas decoration all over the city but especially at Fifth Avenue.

                                                      
Cartier

 Saks Fifth Avenue

                                                                                                    Henri Bendel
 Lord & Taylor

 Tommy Hilfiger
 Tiffany & Co.

Christmas Bulbs and Lights near Radio City Music Hall

Some windows and decorations are that popular that people queue in front of them. Sadly, New York around christmas time is probably fuller and fuller each year.

I hope you all had a pleasant christmas season and I wish you a happy New Year!

Love, Laura
