Countdown to Christmas - Windows


As you would expect from this gorgeous city, Rome's Christmas windows are fabulously stylish too.



Last year Babbington's, at the foot of the Spanish Steps, was all twinkly green foliage with a centrepiece of a very English red postbox.
Dior filled its window with purple, green & gold baubles which was surprisingly effective.


Moncler transported us to the ski slopes but my favourite windows of all were Valentinos, probably because I love the song and film of the same name.


As well as the windows, Valentino also transform Palazzo Mignanelli into a sparkling facade, lit by thousands of tiny lights.
