Winter gear

Happy Monday everyone! In order to fight against coughs and colds, I have been upping my vitamin intake, wearing my pre- winter coats (the coats you want to wear in the winter, but simple are too thin), exchanged the fabrics of my scarfs and staying more in. Here are some of my favorites during the "inside season":

1) Tea (of course): at the moment the teas of Betjeman & Barton are equally appreciated as the Yogi teas.

2) Reading books: my fall list contains of thrillers, mindfulness and magazines (ok not really books, but some are quite huge).

3) Dinner and drinks with friends: the more the merrier. My favorite dishes are savory, filling and healthy dishes with loads of veggies. As for the drinks, I am a sucker for a nice glass of red or a cocktail.

4) Visiting museums: as the rain makes it less desirable to walk the street, it is nice to walk viewing art while chatting along with your favorite people.

5) Movies! Or series! Recently been visiting the theatre more often or simple watch a dvd from the home library and just relax.

6) Online shopping: never gets boring, is easy as it doesn't require facing the cold streets.

Dries de Paris

Happy Friday everyone! As I am enjoying my latest editions of magazines, I wish I could be there for Paris Fashion week. It is the combination of the city, the designers, the clothes...the food...everything. As I follow the bloggers that are lucky enough the be invited, I forget that we are connected until the real world slaps you in the face and you realize that you are by the internet closely connected, but still far away from the real deal. I feel lucky we have the opportunity to sneak peak and don't have to wait until it is out on paper :). Have a great weekend!

Some amazing looks from the Dries van Notes RTW Fall/Winter 2013 show:

Tripping!

Happy Friday everyone! Another week went by, another weekend to spend. I am taking an extra day to enjoy a long weekend trip! I´ll tell you more when I get back :).

 

Finally got my hands on CR Fashion book´s first issue!

Plans

Happy Friday everyone! It is time for weekend and am so excited as it means a few more hours of sleep and enjoy my days off! I have no particular plans (love it!), so I´ll be indulging in some magazines, start reading a new book and prepare for my upcoming trip :). What do you have planned? Enjoy! xoxo

Bring out the sun

As the summer feeling has (temporarily) left Amsterdam (read: wind, rain, 13 degrees), I try my best to pretend it is still warm and sunny by wearing bright colors and eating summer foods. I intend to eat watermelon,  read summer stories, shop summer clothes and drink summer tea no matter what! Hopefully the weather will change its mind. Enjoy the weekend!

Tasty delight

Sunday´s are the best when the sun is shining and you start your day with an incredible breakfast outside and a magazine at hand. My sister came back from Rome yesterday and surprised me with some lovely gifts, including the Italian Vogue and Elle Decor! I am currently looking for furniture for my new apartment and today (as the sun decided to not show its face) is perfect to be creative.
