From when I was a little girl, my Mother and I took the Christmas Walk...which is down 5th Ave to see the New York City Window Displays.....and I still continue to this day.
If you didn't have time or don't live near, here is a snippet of NY City Lit UP for the Holidays.
Black Belt Shopper Arlene came early to Harlem for the Holidays and snagged some key items from a few vendor.
Arlene loves fashion and although she says we trap her by making everything to fit HER, we can't help it that she looks good in everything.
