Last week’s trip to Amsterdam was a lifesaver: not only was it a much-needed break from busy working life, it also fueled me with inspiration for those busy days yet to come. I was kindly invited by Lola to stay at her place while she’s away on a trip around the world. She has the coolest apartment located in the Haarlemmerdijk in Amsterdam, a cosy street filled with unique shops, tasty bagel bars and hip spots. Together with partner in crime Marie-Lynn I enjoyed every second of our Amsterdam Adventure. So much so, that we made a short video for you. Hope you have fun watching.

Like what I’m wearing in the video? Shop everything at Scotch & Soda.

Oh and here’s a little note I wanted to leave to Lola.

Hi Lola

Thanks for letting us stay in your place while you where gone. I fell in love with it seconds after opening the front door: the cosy atmosphere, little trinkets that you brought from all over the world, the scented candles, big fluffy bed and enviable collection of cacti won me over immediately. Your closet is amazing too, you have great taste. I hope you don’t mind that we borrowed some of your things, it’s just that your clothes felt perfect to discover the city in.

I envy you for getting to see so much of the world, but am happy I got to stay in your cosy apartment while you were away. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love,

Elien & Marie-Lynn
