Prepare to be dazzled. This year, the most spectacular holiday shopping spots transport and delight—from a fantastical tropical treasure hunt to a whimsical candyland for grownups. So who better than Girls O’Clock founder Trang Trinh to take us on a whirlwind tour of Fifth Avenue eye candy? The New York City-based fashion editor’s love for a beautiful object—and a beauty touch-up!— is well-documented on Instagram.
With a swoosh of Eye Want You Mascara and a dusting of Eye Pods, Trang is off! Her first stop: Cartier, where the celestial gems come to life in the decor and the Christmas trees illuminating every room. (Bonus: the floor-to-ceiling mirrors make for an easy Baby Cheeks refresh.) Pure bliss!
From there, Trang discovers the outsized confections at Swarovski, relishes the snow-dusted vignettes (including a mechanical bird with a gobsmacking diamond in its beak!) inside Tiffany’s, then stops for a holiday cookie at Van Cleef. “There are ships, there are jungles, there are treasures to be found!” says Trang of the jeweler’s Treasure Island theme. “They nailed it.”
Finally, Trang hits the Beauty Level at Bergdorf Goodman and beelines it to Westman Atelier (of course!) in search of a gift for her sister. She obsesses over Eye Pods Eye Shadows before snapping up a glimmering rosy statement piece with Super Loaded Tinted Highlight. “It's just this heavenly glowy product!” Sometimes, a little beauty bling is all it takes.
