Something wicked this way comes! Ladies, Halloween is fast approaching and you haven’t picked a costume yet?!? Why not go with a classic this year – Witches!

This is my summertime/maritime window: A posh yacht club of powerful ladies out on the open sea enjoying the luxuries available to them. It’s a classic nautical color scheme of red, white, and navy blue with gold thrown in as an accent. Before the window was put together I knew I wanted an appealing swimsuit window that was both classic and at the same time...

    When I was putting together this display, I was really feelin’ on Steven Klein’s recent spread in VOGUE with Raquel Zimmerman. Set in a manor home, Klein makes great use of both sumptuous indoor salons and gorgeous garden spaces.  We’ve been getting so much AMAZING vintage in recently at Red Light that I wanted to be sure to...
