Feeling Twinkly-Eyed

Carolina Herrera Fall 2012 RTW.

It is hard to remain untouched by the change in the air this time of year, as more white lights and red ribbons are added each day to the exterior of businesses, apartment buildings, restaurants and shops around the city... I can't help but feel twinkly-eyed...

... And these designs manifest that same mood.
