New York.. New York.. Who doesn't love New York?! With its big and famous streets as Broadway, Wall Street and Fifth Avenue, the beautiful bridges (my favourite is the Brooklyn bridge), its beautiful buildings (hello Empire State and Flatiron) as well as its romantic Central park, its crazy Times Square, iconic Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller centre and Grand Central Terminal. But it is also the city that is famous...
Whooo..!! I turned 30 last Sunday! So bizarre to realise that I really joined the "third floor". Exciting though! And to celebrate this Dirty Thirty big here on the blog, this month will be with the theme of 30 things I love to...
There are a few typical Dutch things I miss now that I live the expat life in San Francisco. So when we were back in Amsterdam for Christmas I made sure I feed those cravings. Like eating 'bitterballen' (kind of fried meatballs) and 'ontbijtkoek' (kind of honey cake) as well as visiting my favourite places. Like the Museum of Bags and Pursus (Tassenmuseum Hendrikje). As I am a big baglover,...
For authentic cocktails, mouthwatering food and a great portion of romance, you should visit The Carlile Room in Seattle. As my husband and I are real foodies, we got the recommendation from several people to visit a Tom Douglas Restaurant, who is an icon in Seattle. He has 30 restaurants in total and a cooking school. As we love vibrant places with good food and a warm atmosphere, we picked this restaurant,...
Be careful now; you might get hungry after seeing these food shaped bags. We continue the quirky trend on a whole new level. We all love food, especially when it looks good. And this season you can actually carry some real #foodporn. Kate Spade teamed up with the famous Magnolia Bakery and created a very good looking cupcake clutch and a delicious slice of a big cake. And Betsey Johnson...

In the capital of Morocco are a lot of restaurants, but we really wanted to dine here on the first night of our trip. Because this place is more than...
Grab your bag and go to De Plantage in Amsterdam! When my boyfriend suggested to go and celebrate his birthday at De Plantage, I was not super excited. And I remember that when I entered the restaurant, I was overwhelmed by the size of this place which was emphasised by the high ceilings. But then the waitress showed us our romantic table for two and explained the menu in...
I have to confess that I love nothing more than grabbing my bag and visit the coolest hotspots in town. As I already have shared some of my favourite places with you I felt that it was a good time to give you this list of where you must go, sleep, eat, drink and shop. But first, when you should visit Amsterdam? When visit Amsterdam? Dutch weather is crazily unpredictable and seasons...
Grab your bag and go to Lisbon, specifically Restaurant Pharmacia. Maybe you remember, but last year we went to Lisbon, a city that is very much worth a visit (check out the Lisbon article here). I still have lovely memories of this trip. Besides the beauty of the city itself, the temperature is great, the surroundings are extraordinary and the food is delicious. And there is one place in...
Grab your bag and go to Ponte Arcari (Amsterdam)! Not to be qualified as a new, trendy or as a pop up place...
