I Amsterdam + VLOG

I could probably sum up our trip to Amsterdam in a few key words; pancakes, bicycles, canals and cheese, and I'm not sure what I loved the most. Three days in Amsterdam was the perfect amount of time to explore, and as Charlie and I burned off the calories from our extravagant breakfasts (more on that in my Amsterdam Guide coming soon!) we stumbled across countless welcoming boutiques and cafes dotted throughout the neighbourhoods, all easily discovered by foot or by tram. 

My outfit for day two was planned in advance of the trip, I'd packed thermal layers to cosy up beneath my Mustard Jumper and popped on a new favourite stripe suede skirt - dressing to match my autumnal surroundings! I added my Russell & Bromley boots before we hot footed it to the canals for our tour of the city (more of this on my Amsterdam Vlog!)

I know I'm keeping you waiting for my Amsterdam city guide, but not much longer - I promise, and it's worth the wait!

Thanks again to IceLolly for the opportunity to visit this fabulous city!

Autumn in Amsterdam

Last weekend, rather than hitting the shows at PFW, Charlie and I opted to go on a trip to Amsterdam to discover the city. Having met each other in the most exotic of destinations, travelling together is what Charlie and I do best, so when IceLolly.com invited us to discover Amsterdam, we jumped at the chance to visit a new place.

Amsterdam, and Holland in general, was a place I didn't know much about (aside from the fact that prostitutes and certain drugs are legal here!), so I had no preconceptions, and no idea what I'd discover when I got off the plane.

There was something very familiar about Amsterdam, from the cool boutiques in unpretentious neighbourhoods, the welcoming cafes that we stumbled across, and the way that the friendly locals dressed. It's easy to picture yourself living in Amsterdam, that's how homely and welcoming the city felt, each restaurant or cafe owner greeted us as though we were a 'regular', and after just one day exploring we felt as though we knew our way around the beautiful canals and cobbled streets.

A hefty neighbourhood guide is on it's way, but until then, here's the outfit that I wore on our first day of exploring!
