Get styled head to toe at Bubblekid

Meet and Eat: G&T’s really, really nice place
What’s in a name? Everything. G&T’s is by far the nicest place I’ve been to in a long while. Lots of exiting stuff happens here: from pop-up dinners to theme nights, to Sunday brunches and Mad Hatter’s Teaparties. Meeting new people, enjoying life and trying new things that will make you happy. All of these can be found in an old brown café, painted entirely white, in the hart of the Jordaan. (..more)

Japanese cuteness at Roppongi
Japan is hot. Japansese trends emerge on every streetcorner and sushi is the new hot dog. Roppongi, named after the famous entertainment district in Tokyo, sells every bit of Japan you can imagine, and more. From simple sushi gear (both to make and to eat) to Bento boxes, Furoshikis (a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth), Hello Kitty cutlery and toe-separating Jikitabi boots. Worn by construction workers in Japan, by local hipsters in Amsterdam. (..more)
Rooms dressed like models at The Exchange
Most Amsterdam locals would never take a stroll along Central Station’s main street, also known as the Damrak. And I can’t blame them. The street is designed for tourists: it’s filled with souvenir shops, kebab sheds and voluptuous girls serving drinks. Topless. But please take a minute to look bit closer. Right across the Beurs van Berlage you’ll find a tiny door with ‘Hotel’ written above it. Not very mind blowing at first sight. Look again. This is the gateway to a world where fashion meets architecture, design meets functionality and Amsterdam meets Europe. (..more)
