Browse the Holiday Windows at Bergdorf’s, Bendel’s, Barneys’ and More
No one does holiday windows like the NYC department stores. In most cases teams of 30-100 people start planning and conceptualizing the windows a full year in advance.

Post-Sandy Retail Report: Stores Take a Financial Hit, Barneys Reopens and Looting In the South Street Seaport
As Hurricane Sandy moves on and New Yorkers are left to clean up the city, the full extent of the damage is becoming increasingly clear. One particularly hard hit area, at least fiscally, was retail, both in the city and beyond as stores were forced to close their doors to brace for the storm. And now reports of looting are starting to surface.

Gift Guide: The Best Beauty Sets To Give And Get This Holiday Season
We’ve had arguments with people who say that beauty gifts are boring and impersonal. This can be true if you just buy some random fragrance set in a tacky basket at your corner drugstore on Christmas Eve. If, however, you put a bit of thought into it, you can get some gorgeous, thoughtful things.
This year there is an absolute flood of gift sets available at all price points (though we decided not to include a $1,600 fragrance basket we found). So we’ve pulled the best scent, color, and spa sets, with an eye towards originality. They’re guaranteed to get you a kiss under the mistletoe, or at the very least, a delighted squeal. Happy Cyber Monday!

How I’m Making It: DANNIJO
For the second installment of our new feature, “How I’m Making It,” we present Jodie and Danielle Snyder, the sisters behind DANNIJO jewelry. Jodie, 28, and Danielle, 25, quit their jobs to launch their line in December 2007, and Bergdorf Goodman picked up DANNIJO in March of 2008. Today, Dannoji is sold everywhere from Henri Bendel’s to Harvey Nichols Hong Kong, and has found fans in Natalie Portman, Blake Lively and Beyonce.
Why jewelry?
Danielle: When my sister and I were teenagers we found our dad’s medical tool kit and taught ourselves how to do wire work with them and started making jewelry for all our friends.
Jodie: When I was in college we had opened a boutique in Jacksonville, Florida–where we’re from–to sell our jewelry. We noticed that we had a following and that it was well received.
