It is absolutely magical. I thoroughly enjoyed  viewing all the window displays, especially at Lord and Taylor’s, Bloomingdales, and Saks. The interior of Bergdorf Goodman was a breathtaking winter wonderland.

I had made an appointment at  Bergdorf’s Bridal Salon.  The designer gowns were exquisite and shown in an intimate setting. I also had fun checking out several hotel venues for weddings.

One of my most cherished moments  was a meeting I had with Cathie Black, President of Hearst Corporation and author of  Basic Black. This is an excellent book for any young woman in the business world. Cathie and my mom  were close friends growing up together in Chicago. She was excited that I had launched my own company and offered sound business advice. Cathie was the person who encouraged Oprah to start a magazine and Cathie worked with her to make it happen,

I had wanted to be there for the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting ceremony which was amazing.  Above is a picture  of the tree at Rockefeller Center for all of you to see. The Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes is a must see. I also enjoyed the Broadway musical, “Billy Elliot. ” Of course, I managed some time for  shopping!

Later I will share with you my exciting visit to Kleinfelds.
