A little window into our brief stop in Amsterdam.

I could not zoom in more, but this man was so fantastically dressed in such a simple, chic, central european 'hip-city' way.

& the shop was filled with quirky arty pieces & books, filled with a more 'artistic' take on the subject matter of such things as the red light district. There were so many fantastic shops like this!

There was an incredible little shop filled with different coloured bow ties - & just down the road a vintage boutique where I acquired the most incredible black jumpsuit. I think I shall bring it out in paris. I cannot wait.
There were so many little bookshops & vintage dress up boutiques around the nine streets area.
& of course darling little bicycles parked outside every one!

After a day of exploring we stopped for a delicous coffee in this lovely little cafe overlooking the canals.

(who knew the netherlands knew how to create such a masterful cup of coffee, every single time!)

Refreshed we continued to explore & stumbled across this little junk/antique/retro pieces shop. Incredible.

had we not been attempting to hitch part of the way home, I would have purchased so many things here.

(it was, suitably, owned by a fantastic chic gentleman. Owning a boutique... I must.)

I fell in love with this little crooked house alongside the canals.
