New York City Holiday Windows – Lord & Taylor

This is part of a series on New York City holiday windows for 2014. You can also see posts for Barney’s windows, Macy’s windows, Sak’s windows, Bergdorf-Goodman’s windows and Bloomingdale’s windows.

See the 2015 Lord & Taylor windows here.

For Lord & Taylor’s 2014 holiday windows, they chose a journey through the imagination, and mansions filled with creatures like mice, cardinals and other animals – plus an enchanted fairytale garden. Check it out.

The small windows had a series of lovely vignettes featuring cardinals and jewelry, as well as some people made out of newsprint (adorable) and jewelry. Worth a look.

This was the corner window, a magical little ballet scene with puppets. Unfortunately there was a lot of glare so it was tough to get a good photo.
