the holiday season is just zooming by so today i’m heading out with the winterns to check out the holiday decorations in manhattan- the city is always so pretty when the lights are up and everything seems to glow. in addition to holiday decorations, ny is full of great holiday sales this weekend. so if you’re in the area head over to my neighborhood on saturday to check out the designer holiday trunk sale at the bell house (lotta, hable, deadly squire and much more). also, there’s a fantastic holiday sale taking place at lorena barrezueta’s studio in williamsburg- click here for more details. and of course there’s gifted at the brooklyn flea and a new artisan show in ditmas park to see. i’m off to soak up some holiday cheer before the season is over so i hope you all have a wonderful weekend. i’ll be back on monday with more sneak peeks and some great new podcasts from our winter interns.
