Here are a few pics of the most recent windows I've seen. These first ones belong to Crabtree + Evelyn. I'm always interested to see how shops display small products and I like the botanical theme with this one - especially the small figures planting up.</div>

This is an effective in store display in Habitat on Tottenham Court Road. It shows off the wooden toy buses in a fun way. It would have been cool to have done an outline of the London skyline and maybe include a bit more colour.<br />

I love this joyful Louis Vuitton window. The stripes starting off quite thinly and getting wider create a false sense of distance and movement and this works well with the cluster of balloons becoming fewer and far between. The bags stand out because of the different colour ways and the fact that there are only two bags in the window make them look exclusive.<br />

I last reported on Paperchase visual merchandising back for their Christmas windows in 2009 and spoke about how I loved the colour blocking and use of large neon stars to emphasise the starry backdrop. Well after an absence since the Borders concession closed Paperchase is back in Glasgow on Buchanen Street along with the trademark neon shapes! This time the neon is in the form of circles - very cool in the evening and they really make the store stand out.<br />

<br />
This Lakeland window doesn't sit right with me as my eye doesn't flow well over it. They're trying to promote their Cake Pops and I think the back drop image is strong but gets disrupted by the plinths and yellow house outline - a bit of rearrangement would help.<br />
<br />

<br />
This Oasis window is great, I just think it needs a backdrop - maybe a landscape outlined in black.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These windows come from the Greyfriars Art Shop in Edinburgh. Their windows always interest me as they change regularly and have a handmade feel which sits well with the nature of the shop. I spend a while looking at them as they're always full but sometimes I think it's a bit too much. A bit of streamlining and repetition would help this.<br />

The Marks and Spencers in Manchester has really upped it's game. I love the simplicity of the illuminated logo with the casual stance of the mannequins.<br />

This window has an advertising screen for all of the M + S products - I think this will become more and more common in the windows of high street retailers.<br />
<br />
I also like the simplicity of these fellow windows with a bold choice of colour on the back walls, the futuristic design of the aluminium clothes rails and the placement of the mannequins giving the window depth.<br />

These are the Selfridges Christmas windows. I think the yellow gift card window has some impact but I the other windows are lacking in focal points and a cohesive theme. On the other hand the Anya Hindmarsh windows are quite fun with the movement of the cogs, conveyor belt and sweets. </div>

This window is another example of encouraging customer interaction - you can add a snowflake by tweeting a wish. Also, the movement of the flakes by the fan catches people attention - clever.</div>

The visual merchandising is messy here but I loved the idea of having the products arranged in a bath - it's fun, would attract children to rifle through and shows the rubber ducks etc in their natural place in the home.</div>

I was impressed with the display to introduce a basic range to Marks + Spencers - it was clean and simple and filled with bulk amounts of the same product - all the hallmarks of low value product merchandising. I also liked the ripped off shopping list posters interspersed between the shelves.</div>

They've got so many windows so I've only got a selection of some of them but they are definitely something to feast your eyes on!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">These are the side windows:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><img style="display:block;

The Wonder Woman vinyls are really striking and I love how the scene spreads across all the windows and how the eye is lead to the door by the flying lipsticks and compact cases which appear to be Wonder Woman's weapon of choice! </div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg57o_VUKVHlz6qScx4-AtDnL4a07h5hnC6D9-VS3FnW59amba8kltskaz6cmPfEHPB9DgW_XwQ0TKa32ikXyGUDh4-1eW5YwuEcSjmf1fuGC3TCTxpA4L5jK4uCQmn2DfXdBaPp0woQUj9/s1600/CIMG6119.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg57o_VUKVHlz6qScx4-AtDnL4a07h5hnC6D9-VS3FnW59amba8kltskaz6cmPfEHPB9DgW_XwQ0TKa32ikXyGUDh4-1eW5YwuEcSjmf1fuGC3TCTxpA4L5jK4uCQmn2DfXdBaPp0woQUj9/s400/CIMG6119.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591461632351271714" /></a><div>The next window along has a window length Wonder Woman comic strip which draws customers to the window so they can read the story of Wonder Woman's struggle. </div><div>Hopefully these fun graphics should inspire customers to go inside the store to try the Wonder Woman themed range of cosmetics - I definitely would have but unfortunately it was a Sunday and the store was closed! </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQ5k4IbDK8yol8Jk5bFPfXtDC_BQqX7CDxJEHGamPOZrygclTp5Tl-bQ2GeBTahvpqLrrEU7Ys3YT-AsUVL6TVDaaUCA2HsWSQT_hDaJk2QQ_uxW9cVQBd0qe6_CSjJusp02UApROflzh/s1600/CIMG6118.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQ5k4IbDK8yol8Jk5bFPfXtDC_BQqX7CDxJEHGamPOZrygclTp5Tl-bQ2GeBTahvpqLrrEU7Ys3YT-AsUVL6TVDaaUCA2HsWSQT_hDaJk2QQ_uxW9cVQBd0qe6_CSjJusp02UApROflzh/s400/CIMG6118.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591461625896072530" /></a></div><div>I took these photos of what I think is a posture clinic. I'm not a big fan of these windows - my eyes were drawn to the random bunches of hanging flowers instead of the products. Really eye catching displays could be done with the trainers (a good example I spotted was the Foot Locker display in my last update) and fun things could be done with the exercise balls and weights - maybe you could have lots of colourful foamex circles along with the balls and weights going up in an arch across the window. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgujPn52ol0c5761CJqFHytSVFovbgrGYPv5C3zIcdLVNses6yEeamNsY3gl6BDBU2oJ00GJED400uIczmeWrD1iugkAvDzIoWtAJJv0hr2rChJiFtTtz955EvTym8vc3tJaOHIb5oaC6yj/s1600/CIMG6108.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgujPn52ol0c5761CJqFHytSVFovbgrGYPv5C3zIcdLVNses6yEeamNsY3gl6BDBU2oJ00GJED400uIczmeWrD1iugkAvDzIoWtAJJv0hr2rChJiFtTtz955EvTym8vc3tJaOHIb5oaC6yj/s400/CIMG6108.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591461623058019346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPsQW0c5QdasUIPfAPOqDgy52S4Rx144uwsYrMMg8MJfgJXIqku6tLumCH-hj0YOywCHlbh3kZkNiWw2geIvkJPgurxgA9s3609uU8FncRwj3IW0nx9S9bCtJt-uppdwrkQiZCVO3Eo1Kg/s1600/CIMG6107.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPsQW0c5QdasUIPfAPOqDgy52S4Rx144uwsYrMMg8MJfgJXIqku6tLumCH-hj0YOywCHlbh3kZkNiWw2geIvkJPgurxgA9s3609uU8FncRwj3IW0nx9S9bCtJt-uppdwrkQiZCVO3Eo1Kg/s400/CIMG6107.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591457970073945602" /></a></div><div>These are windows of the Galeria Kaufhof department store in the centre of Berlin. I loved them as they just oozed Springtime! The massive blown up flowers that are layered front to back and bottom to top through each window feel fresh and enticing and they compliment the products chosen for each window. I especially love the dandelion window with the dandelion seeds floating around and framing the mannequins.</div><div>I didn't manage to take pictures inside but they carried the theme throughout the store by having mannequin sized flowers stood next to the mannequins themselves which looked really effective as the eye went straight to these huge bright flowers and then fell on the mannequin next to them.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVvjXrO_bPMWqBb-fg4_2yZEm24u76xxCOwSf0aJ8luQZY72ZSGbkZK3cy6n9pD1M_4DIyeeMID745pZQleFy3EieFxhSrE6hz17sSh8ElJQ2shGh3zcCpNoQYH1_Hgp46fcDVBJC3UBs_/s1600/CIMG6099.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

I think using an enlarged element of the product you are displaying is really effective and the different heights of the trainers add interest.
