Amsterdam

Hello Amsterdam

. July 23, 2015 .

One thing about Amsterdam I didn't expect was how pretty it would be. Each street more gorgeous than the next, with a cute café or boutique on every corner, add that to the hundreds of canals lined with flowers and bicycles and it really is like walking in a post card. Holly and I shot this look in the neighbourhood of Jordaan, the old working district which was my favourite part of the city and where our apartment was.

Our first day consisted mainly of exploring the city, we spent hours discovering Amsteram's quirks and charms, and we're blessed with some gorgeous sunshine too! During the afternoon we had a shopping experience with Sacha Shoes on the main shopping street in Amsterdam. As beautiful as all the independent boutiques are, it's great to also have H&M and Zara around the corner too.

At Sacha we spent the afternoon trying on shoe after shoe and, after much deliberation, I settled for these gorgeous blue suede lace up sandals. I know, my addiction to lace up shoes may be getting a little out of hand.

We then spent the evening at Avondmarkt, an event put on by Amsterdam Fashion Week that was essentially a big festival of fashion, food and a dance floor inside an enormous warehouse covered in fairy lights. You will have probably seen on my snapchat (lucia_grace) a hilarious clip of me trying my first oyster here (I actually quite liked it!). 

I can't wait to share more of my trip with you guys - my posts are a little sporadic at the moment. I'm writing this from my terrace in Mykonos and, as always she travelling, wifi issues are giving me grief! Stay tuned x
