Bergdorf Goodman: 111 Years of Extraordinary

Bergdorf Goodman is one of my favorite stores. It's the only store I've been to that has the abundance of goodies of a department store with the ambiance of a quaint but illustrious boutique. Their windows are designed with the utmost creative perfection and showcase the objects of fantasies. Inside, with every step and every glance, a connoisseur is delighted by the most exquisite couture in the world.

In honor of 111 years of extravagance and style, over a dozen designers--from J Brand to Jimmy Choo--have created items exclusively for BG. The 111th Anniversary Collection includes pieces for women, men, and the home. At the top of my list are the knockout Christian Louboutin pumps and the idyllic Charlotte Olympia wedges that channel the Bergdorf spirit.

Bergdorf Goodman is constantly involved in philanthropy, from supporting the Humane Society of NY to Joan Hornig Jewelry, which donates 100% of profits to the customer's charity of choice. BG is truly a paragon of luxury retail.
