Merry Christmas from Fifth Avenue!

Christmas is a special time in New York City.  Although overrun with tourists flocking to see the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, it’s difficult not to get caught up in the spirit of the holiday season.  From street signs to souvenir shops, stores on Fifth Avenue didn’t spare any expense in welcoming the holiday season.

Cartier was the most impressive shop on Fifth Avenue though.  Cartier wrapped itself in a big bright bow and let the panthers loose.  Even the Christmas trees dazzled with Cartier boxes.

Hi, I'm Koren! I started this blog back in 2012, when I was an unhappy lawyer living in New York City. I needed a creative outlet, and I've always loved writing, photography, and travel. Little did I know, this blog would end up changing my life! Since then, I've moved to California and done a total life and career transformation. After a five-year hiatus, I'm excited to share recent photography here.
