Monday Update #45

Happy

Spring has officially arrived in London (which means some sunshine and some rain!) and I couldn’t be more excited to abandon my winter jacket! I’ve been sharing a lot of spring outfit inspiration with you guys on the blog already and I’ve linked to some of my most recent looks below. Don’t worry, there are so many more exciting things coming this week and I’m sharing a lot of fun Instagram content too! This past weekend I was away in Amsterdam, which was a much needed break! It was so nice to get away and have a little change of scene. I even got to visit this beautiful installation at one of my favourite museums there, I’ve linked to the image below! What did you do over the weekend?

The 4 Cutest Places To Shop In Amsterdam

It’s Shopping Time!

I love to travel, and I love to shop so combine the two and I can be pretty unstoppable! One of my favourite things about visiting new places is discovering new brands and those hidden gems that each city has to offer. Amsterdam is no different and on my recent trips to this amazing city, I discovered some super cute places to shop in Amsterdam! Each of these places has something different to offer but I’ve found some of my favourite pieces ever at each of them! So, if you’re a local or you’re planning on visiting, be sure to stop at each of these four stores!

Parisienne Amsterdam

This is a beautiful little store on the Negen Straatjes which stocks the most fabulous selection of jewellery. I always like to visit this store for its amazing collection of earrings. In fact, the tortoiseshell effect earrings that I wore in this post here, that you all went crazy for, are from this store! I highly recommend a visit, you’ll be sure to spend hours trying on all the amazing pairs! The owner of the store is also super lovely!

Pro Tip: The Negen Straatjes (nine streets) is a great area to discover super cute boutiques in Amsterdam! Really unique and stylish stores!

Catwalk Junkie

We stumbled across this adorable store while walking around. It was full of super soft jumpers, adorable accessories and very instagrammable corners. I mean can you ask for more than the triple threat? I highly recommend this for those off-duty pieces that you need for the weekends or for your travels! I guarantee you’ll find something you love or at least a super cute mirror selfie! Luckily, you can also shop them online here.

Mendo

Okay, I have an obsession with coffee table books. I want them all! So when I walked into Mendo I was ready to snuggle up with a pile of books and spend the day here! I actually saw a lot of amazing coffee table books here first, before I saw them at Selfridges or any other bookstore! If you’re a fashion and design lover like me, this is going to get your creative juices flowing for sure!

Anecdote

I am obsessed with Anecdote. They are a Dutch brand that makes the coolest hoodies that are also so comfortable! I travel in my Anecdote hoodie so often and I love the minimal cool girl style they have to offer. They have a lovely store in Amsterdam that is very much worth a visit! Check out their collection here!

The Best Spots To Eat In Amsterdam

The Cutest Spots For A Meal in Amsterdam

It’s no secret that Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities! I think that a lot of people sometimes have an impression that it’s all about drugs and alcohol but in fact, Amsterdam is full of beautiful art, cute shopping and amazing food! Although I am not always in the city itself, I’ve been able to try so many fun restaurants while I’ve been there that I just had to share my five favourites with you! If you’re a newsletter subscriber you’ve already heard about some of these spots when I shared my Amsterdam travel diary with you all! I always land up visiting at least one of these restaurants while I’m there and I would highly recommend all of them to you! So, if you’ve got a trip this beautiful city coming up or just have a case of wanderlust, here are five spots worthy of your tummy and your Instagram!

Cafe George

I love this place! They also have a sister restaurant called Cafe Georgette! The menu is full of Dutch classics, seafood and fabulous desserts. I love coming here even if it’s just for a coffee! I highly recommend the tartare, the croquettes and the oysters! For dessert, go for the chocolate cake!

Mr. Porter

Nope, this isn’t the menswear e-commerce. This is the best steakhouse in the city with the most fabulous view. Everything is made in their Josper grill and it has to be one of the best meals I had on my most recent trip to this city! The view is where this gorgeous photo was taken as well! So, if you are a steak fan, you HAVE to visit this restaurant at least once!

Momo

If you love Asian food like me, then Momo is your place! Super centrally located, super food and a super atmosphere. You really can’t go wrong here! Plus it’s very cute on your next Instagram!

The Duchess

One of my favourite spots in Amsterdam, and also a part of the W Hotel, the food at The Duchess always amazes. Try the duck, which literally melts in your mouth, and for the dessert, ask for the liquid nitrogen ice cream which is made at your table! How cool is that? If that’s not worth an Instagram story, then I don’t know what is.

The Seafood Bar

Right off the main shopping street of Amsterdam, you will find this adorable cafe. As the name suggests, their speciality is all things Sea Food! It’s a beautiful spot for a break in the summer, especially if you can get a seat outside!
