Bergdorf Goodman is like the Harvard of department stores. The price of admission is very high. You can sort of buy something down in the cosmetics department, but most of the stuff there, the prices are insane.

I’m kind of Gucci but on a TJ Maxx budget. Although I think if I did have Gucci money, I’d still shop at TJ Maxx.
Now there is something at Bergdorf’s that is totally free and it doesn’t involve a potential arrest for grand larceny. Every year the people who arrange the Bergdorf’s windows into the most insanely fantastical displays that it boggles the mind.

For example, the cats become large and start to glow:
And snakes appear. On the sides of buildings. And they glow too:
