London Spring Window Displays

Paris and London may be very different, 

but they sure have one thing in common. 

  

Gorgeous window displays 

that  make passersby pause to take a look. 

I have fond memories of my French grandmother taking us  

to see the Grands Magasins displays in Paris 

and saying, 'It costs nothing to look'. 

Yes, as long as you don't go in! 

Fortnum & Mason 

It's advisable not to look at Fortnum's displays 

if you are hungry. 

Filled with tiny macarons, fine chocolates 

exquisite hampers and divine porcelain cups, 

 this is a foodie's heaven. 

Favourite bit: the fragile piles of plates and cups 

to create mini towers of loveliness.

Liberty London

If you're looking for London's most artistic displays,  

then head to Liberty. 

May's window displays get inspired 

by Henri Matisse's Cut-Outs 

(currently exhibited at the Tate Modern) 

and fill your eyes with a generous dose of colour & art. 

Favourite bit: the paper jellyfish.

John Lewis 

John Lewis celebrates 150 years 

and has dressed up all the windows with a retro feel. 

You'll see history unravelling through vintage products, 

panels and a wallpaper highlighting all the important events 

in the brand's history. 

Favourite bit: the cartoon-style wallpaper 

with all the scribbles. 

Selfridges 

You can always count on Selfridges windows 

to clog up the busy Oxford Street pavement. 

This spring, Selfridges statement-windows 

deliver messages about true beauty 

{the one that come from inside} 

in a way that doesn't go unnoticed. 

Favourite bit: the mirror which prompts a smile 

by asking 'When was the last time you smiled back?'
