Grab your bag and go to Riad Tawargit in Marrakesh! Once we had decided to go to Marrakesh, we directly knew that we wanted to stay in a Riad which is a traditional home in the middle of the old Medina. It is the best way to experience this magical city as it offers the perfect combination of modern comfort with the long-established and enchanting Moroccan culture. A friend told us about...
Last week we had the pleasure to enjoy the Old Masters Afternoon tea in the Conservatorium hotel in Amsterdam. In our beautiful Self Portrait dresses, we were welcomed in the Brasserie of this stunning hotel. After the sandwiches and apple raisin-scones with homemade clotted cream and jam, we were served a salmon terrine that not only tasted very good, but was also very Instagram-worthy. The little soup was also...
This article represents one of my favourite projects so far in my short blogger career. If you follow me on Snapchat, you have probably seen me last Friday dancing around in beautiful dresses in a truly exceptional place. Together with Marlieke - better known as the beautiful and stylish Mrs. CottonandCream - we were expected at the Conservatorium hotel and welcomed by Naya, the stylist, make-up artist and the photographer of...
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...
Grab your bag and go to Lavinia in Amsterdam. This is the perfect spot for a bon vivant with a healthy way of living. Because this is the place to be for a delicious and sound breakfast, brunch, lunch or coffee. I often meet here to catch up with friends while enjoying an extensive brunch or a coffee with something sweet. But I would also love bringing my boyfriend here one day because I...
Library's are for bookworms, old people or for nerds? Uh-uh, you are wrong. Totally wrong!! Now that LENA The Fashion Library has come to town, this bibliotheca is the place to be! This library offers a great collection of books of wisdom, including titles as 'Recycle or die', 'Sharing matters' and 'Fast Fashion is like Fast Food' but those books are not the main items you can borrow. Actually,...
Grab your bag and go tot 202 London! As London Fashion Week kicks of today, I thought it was a good idea to share my favourite hotspot in London! A few weeks ago I went to this wonderful city and when I passed by this restaurant on Saturday, I knew I had to have brunch there on Sunday. Because I saw the best pouched eggs ever being served on one...
Hurray! We have a new shopping hotspot in Amsterdam! And yes, that is a big reason to be excited. Ted Baker opened its brand new store in Amsterdam on Thursday. We already could buy the items online and at De Bijenkorf, but now we have our own flagshipstore located on the Leidsestraat. This fancy British fashion label is known for its bright colours, feminine designs and romantic prints. Ted Baker...
Grab your bag and go to Pick & Spend (Amsterdam)! Last Sunday I was totally prepared to enjoy a good day of pre-summer… However, unfortunately we were cheated out of that 22-degree-sunny-Sunday! I therefore thought it was a good idea to soften the pain and to cheer myself up with a short visit to De 9 Straatjes. As I parked my bike on the corner of the Keizersgracht and...
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...
