Hotel Andaz
For me Hotel Andaz in Amsterdam is so beautiful and really hip.
Totally love the big bells. They make me feel like Alice in the Wonderland. The building which holds the Hotel is that of the former public Library and the interior design is by Marcel Wanders.
Really friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Also a nice place to have coffee or go for dinner.
Enjoy your weekend,
Kay
PS: Our holidays started today, we all need a nice little break.

House of Dots
You all know that I love the fifties. Not just furniture and home decor but also vintage clothing from that era makes my heart beat faster. So I was delighted to finally meet Hester and Marielle from House of Dots.
They create the perfect vintage look with their amazing dresses and some of them you could easily wear in daily life. I can't decide which dress is my favorite. My idea is to go to visit the girls in Haarlem in their studio.
How is your week going??
see you,
Kay

kringloopgeluk
Ingrid from Ingthings was hosting a book party for her new book Kringloopgeluk yesterday in Amsterdam. The afternoon could not have been better, I met some wonderful people, they are really lovely.
Lots of chatting was going on and I really enjoyed the homemade cakes, the carrot cake was amazing (not sure who made it, but it tasted like more).Now I'm the proud owner of a signed copy of Kringloopgeluk
see you,
Kay
PS: cool to see the new and larger shop of All the luck in the world.

Rijksmuseum
This morning I had a look a the new Rijksmuseum. It looks amazing and I just realised I missed that museum very much.
We also had a look at the new Marks and Spencer shop which opened yesterday... yeah after 10 years they are finally back in Amsterdam.
When I got home there was a nasty surprise waiting for me, the strong wind destroyed some parts of my garden. Let's hope Mister Kay has some ideas and can help me.
see you,
Kay
P.S: real beauty sketches by Dove.wonderful idea

Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village in Haarlem (NL) showcases furniture, lightning and homeware. Mariu the owner likes to keep the shop dynamic and her taste is amazing. Look at the amazing blue sofa, that would look wonderful in our living room.
I always find great little gifts there. So next time when you're in town have a look.
See you,
Kay
PS: I love Labour and Wait

orange fever
Only three weeks to go and Crown Prince Alexander will be the new king of the Netherlands on the 30th of April. Last weekend the first orange souvenirs turned up in the shops. I was looking for an orange T-shirt for Nila but ended up buying one from the Hema for myself, lol. Also I got a cookies tin for my mum but then we started to eat the orange cookies... ups.
If you are planing to come to Amsterdam at the
30th of April, here is some info
Now you know what I will be wearing... look out for me.

Through the keyhole
After a chaotic week.
