In studio 80

Did you ever wonder what people in Amsterdam wear when they are going out in the night? This picture underneath( made in studio 80, my favorite place after 12 o'clock) wil give you a little answer to that! On the left you see Anne-Maartje, a really darling girlfriend of mine and on the right you see me. Staring at the ceiling like crazy..

Do you like my new haircut?

It is a trend for shore, but it still is a scary thing to do... to shave a little part of your hair. But I did it anyway. Some people really love it, other (for example: my mum) dislike it. I absolutely adore it! But I'm really curious about your opinion about my new haircut. So let me know how you think about it!

Vintage in Paris

A long time ago I wrote a blog post about vintageshopping in Parise on a site I don't use anymore. But a lot of friends are going to Paris this summer and ask me for some good advice. So I thought, why not say something about it here.

I have been a couple of times in Paris and I really love the city with al the historical buildings an other things you get to see. But I don't want to see the eiffeltower over and over again. So the last time I went to this amazing old city I  did some research in vintage stores. And I can tell you now, based by my own experience  that the stores with secondhand clothes are so worth it there. Some of those are really cheap and has some really nice clothes as well. There are secondhand places where you pay just 10 Euro for a nice dress of a couple of  very lovely shoes or anything else. It is really different than in the Netherlands.


My favorite vintage stores in Paris are Free’P'Star, Come on Eileen and Coiffeur Vintage

Free’P'Star has a a lot of different cheap clothes. They have dresses of the 70’s, lots of military stuff and many, many more in three different stores!  And also a little sister  named Fripes Star. Which is also not expensive, that’s what we like! You can find it somewhere on the Rue de la Verrerie across the Megasun. I didn't know the exact number of the shop anymore. But isn't it so that you will understand it better if I give you the directions by shops than by street names ;). It is for me the only way I can’t get lost.

CoiffeurVintage isn't a big store, but a lot of people seems to know how to find it. There just one fitting room and it was so busy that people where trying the clothes outside of the room. That was  also what I did and during that time, my own jacket was almost token by someone who wanted to try it on! I bought 2 dresses and 1 sweater in that store. 

Then there is one important shop left, which is Come on Eileen. In this vintage shop you will find vintage Chanel, Dior and Lanvin but I didn't buy anything in there.

 

You can see on the map underneath that the most vintage stores are really close to each other. Even if you don't have anything with secondhand it is a really good place to shop. Because there are other nice shops as well. 

PS 1:If you are in Paris and want to have breakfeast or lunch in a really lovely place, you just need to visit Rose Bakery.

PS 2: The adresses of the stores:Coiffeur Vintage, 32 Rue de RosiersCome on Eileen, 16/18 rue des taillandiers 75011Free’P'Star, 8 rue Sainte-croix de la Bretonnerie
Free’P'Star, 61 rue de la Verrerie
Free’P'Star, 20 rue de Rivoli. 

PS 3: I made all the pictures myself, except the picture of Come on Eileen. The credits for that photo go to thattherevintage.blogspot.com.

I went to the Monki store and bought..

Yesterday I told you about the new arrivals of Monki. And ofcourse I went to the nearest Store. I find a lot of the clothes in the pictures but almost nothing suits that well. But it seems to me that is a thing of the label. They have good looking stuff but it almost never suits that well. However it was not for nothing that I went.

You will see at first a couple of pictures of me in the fittingroom and how strange the clothes are, its my profe to you that Monki can be a strange store in a bad way. But I will show you also something where I fell in loved with wearing it.

Above you see that I took a lot of clothes with me into the fittingroom, underneath you can see how

2 of the shirts fit... Not charming at all are my thoughts.

And 3 other things, the dresses didn't seem so worse but the thing I wear in the left picure is only perfect for a jungle party or something like that!

And than at least the things I bought, just a red sweater and a black blouse, nothing of the new arrivals I wanted in the first place, but very nice after all!  Do you like the sweater? The blouse will I show you later this week, the light wasn't good enough :(.

Love Monki

I'm in love with Monki, at least for a few ours. Did you saw the new arrivals? They are pretty awesome! I just saw them coming by on Facebook. When I'm done studying I go immidiatly near the Monki store in Amsterdam. Because if the items that I saw fitt nicely, (9 of 10 times they don't, it is such a crazy label) I'm going to spend some money there. If you want to know whitch one I like the most, take a look at the pictures underneath!

It are a lot of items, at least the socks will fit ;)

I'm going to let you know if some of the clothes looked good on me.

As always,
