Ladies love..

Is it true that girls dress for girls..? And if so, do the men in our lives then even notice when we wear a floral pant in stead of jeans? Or have our hair cut? Or change our nail color? Probably not. So ladies, this is for you: I wore my floral pants for the first time this week, I painted my nails bright baby pink, my Zara obsession grew with giant leaps of love, I got new Starbucks attire, I'm addicted to pale pinks and lilac on my lips, skulls are my good luck charms and I now sleep with the most delicious silk and lavender filled velvet on my eyes. Thanks for noticing! ;) xx

Just my cup of coffee

Location: Starbucks 'The Bank', Amsterdam

In the Netherlands, we are getting used to the 'grab a coffee and go' mentality that clearly finds it's seed in the USA. And I know a lot of us Dutchies were more than thrilled to discover the first Starbucks at Schiphol airport, where we could pretend to be in NYC for a while and get our coffee-to-go in style.
But March 8 marked a special day for Amsterdam: Starbucks's new coffee experience laboratory opened it's doors and invited us in to come hang out in cute corners, read local newspapers, see local bands perform, enjoy poetry readings, eat fresh cookies straight out their own bakery and.. ow yeah, drink coffee.
Located in the vault of an old bank and decorated with contemporary Dutch designs makes getting your coffee here an event on itself. What I love about this store is that it pays tribute to the age-old coffee traditions that our country holds, an awesome 'tattooed' Delftware mural for instance tells the story about how the Dutch traders played a big role in exporting coffee around the world in the 17th century. So now the Americans can come to us for their hipster coffee experience, new style.
Ha, how 'bout that!
