Fashion's Holiday 2016 Short Films & Campaigns

Christmas is a great time for family, friends and festive holiday ad campaigns

It's time to celebrate the holiday season with fashion-forward film shorts! I am in love with H&M's collaboration with Wes Anderson, but there are also a few other campaigns that are worth watching for a spoonful of Christmas cheer.

Il Neige Rive Gauche, Le Bon Marche Rive Gauche

It is only fitting that the Parisian department store has a commercial that is absolutely and unabashedly exudes the artistic, playful French spirit.

The British fashion house always delights their followers with beautiful film content and this year's holiday short is no exception. The film is directed by Academy Award winning director Asif Kapadia and features a star-studded cast.

Putting together the holiday window displays in New York City is a fascinating process that is as remarkable and complex as the fashion supply chain. A glimpse at Barneys' creative direction for this year's displays—love, peace and joy—reflects the expression and sentiment felt by many New Yorkers hoping for a better world.

Come Together, H&M

This is it. This is the reason why I am excited about the holiday season. Wonderful film short by Wes Anderson, I hope there's another one next year!

A Very Private Affair, Victoria's Secret

The lingerie brand is all about Paris this year—not only is Victoria's Secret holding their annual fashion show in the City of Light, but they also filmed at their extended holiday commercial at the famous Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte located outside Paris.

Wilton: Some Retail Therapy and Eating Real Food

Today was amazing for several reasons. The first being that my chipmunk cheeks have nearly disappeared, which made me socially presentable. The second was the realization I could lightly chew French toast, which meant that I could start eating real food. The third was knowing my parents and I were going to the mall in the afternoon.

I remembered the emotional benefits of retail therapy--it truly does wonders to lift up spirits.

To my father's dismay, my mom and I spent more time shopping than he would have liked, but my mom and I scored great deals at Bare Escentuals, Victoria's Secret, and Forever 21. I am currently obsessing over the red jacket from Forever 21.

We ate lunch at Brio, an Italian restaurant next to The Cheesecake Factory. It was a perfect day to sit outside and enjoy the last days of summer. I ordered salmon and angel hair pasta for an entree. For dessert, my mom and I split a small creme brulee.

Needless to say, I was happy to have a nice meal with my parents outside of the house. Eating Ramen noodles and organic applesauce in bed can only sustain a girl with a fierce appetite for food and adventure for so long.

I want to try to get a head start reading some novels for school--Madame Bovary has been on my reading list for a few years--but whether or not I actually will is debateable.

One of the reasons why I love Victoria's Secret, because of all of the freebies and discounts. I received a free pair of underwear, a $10.00 discount off a bra, and a free T shirt with the bra. Not bad.

Wilton: Wisdom Teeth Recuperation (cont.)

After holding bags of ice to my newly formed "chipmunk cheeks" and watching Netflix films, I survived the first full day post-wisdom teeth surgery!

My boyfriend, who brought over my favorite Robeks smoothie last night, visited again this afternoon. We watched Capote (2005) and he helped me make chicken noodle soup. After he left, I watched Sarah's Key (2010), which is about a journalist who exposes the truth behind her in-laws past and their connection to a French Jewish family who suffered from the "Vel d'Hiv" events during World War II.

Another triumph of the day included my parents bringing home the September Issue of Vogue--a huge win, I am proud to say.

I also played around with the Victoria's Secret Pink iPhone app and "PINK-ified" some of photos.

Even though my face is incredibly puffy, my spirits are high thanks to my family and friends who have wished me a good recovery--thank you for the love!
