A Delightful Saturday in Amsterdam

Yesterday was definitely one of the days which makes me realise how LUCKY I am to be living in the wonderful city of Amsterdam! Truly, I haven't been enjoying Amsterdam that much in 2013. Just got back from Indonesia mid-January then off to London the weekend after, yesterday was truly my first ENJOYABLE saturday in Amsterdam. 

First of all... who can deny the Beauty of the canals especially when snow started to fall.. 

To start my out and about in the city... I went to my usual coffee spot De Koffie Salon whilst waiting for my hubby to finish up his meeting.
Spotted on me yesterday: 
Stepping out from De Koffie Salon, I cannot not stop by and check it out! It's my latest addiction and new eye candy.. MARCbyMARCJACOBS store at Utrechtsestraat.
Afterwards, we went to pick my parents in law who were in town yesterday to have a romantic weekend! I find it so sweet.. :) they are staying in The Floating Hotel. To make it better, I brought them to De Bakkerswinkel, my fave luncheon in Amsterdam.
I had a Quiche Lorraine and ofcourse, we had to order the amazing Scones! Yummm happy belly..... I definitely recommend De Bakkerswinkel if you stop by in Amsterdam and don't mind to wait a bit (unless you make reservation in advance) to do a high tea or just sit for a super nice lunch.

Missing out the 'alcohol', we all went straight to Wynand Fockink. Open in 1679, Wynand Fockink is one of the oldest liqueur tasting place in Holland. Never mind the busy tourists waiting in front of the bar not knowing what to order and not moving from their spot :), if you know what you want.. just walk straight and make your way through! It's one of the places you have to go for a liqueur try out in Amsterdam.
Being the good wife and a shopping advisor, I wouldn't miss the chance to go for a quick shop with my hubby who needed a new pair of pants badly. We went to Carhartt and he found such a good bargain!   He got himself a nice burgundy pants for only 44.50 euros.. 
To end our beautiful evening, we had a lovely dinner at Loetje. Though we had to wait for almost 40 minutes for a table (you can never reserve if it's under 6 people). It's SOOOO worthed! How can you not love the look of the steak :).
In overall, one successful weekend! And to end the amazing day.. we walked through Amstel at night. How can you not fall in love head over heels to Amsterdam.

Early Year Pick Up: Sarah Blasko

Found her through my Australian colleague, definitely THANKING him greatly!
Loving her and she'll be having a show on the 14th April at People's Place.

Starting Up the New Year

Made a promise to myself that I'll be better with my blog starting from this year! Have to get rid off my laziness... :D and best way to start my first post is in regards to my AMAZING NEW YEAR BARGAINS!
1. French Connection Sparkling Cardigan
2. Balenciaga Leather Bracelet
3. Won Hundred Loafers

The first hunt was my Balenciaga bracelet. I've been wanting a leather bracelet for SOOOO LONG (either Balenciaga or Mulberry) and it was just there, just there..standing there waiting for me to buy it with 40% off. How can I say no.. 
Then I went on a shopping spree to London last weekend with my best friend (Keita) for our 30th birthday gift! Went around Oxford and stopped by at French Connection! Found this amazing peach sparkling cardigan which was on sale from 175 pounds into 31 POUNDS. How can I say No to that..! It looks Perfect, SUPER PERFECT for my going out that night. Which was ofcourse an AMAZING night! We met with our dear friend Alise who is now living and working in London. 
Last but not least is my unexpected buying! After meeting up with some friends for dim sum, hubby and I went to check the new Marc by Marc Jacobs store (since I need to get iphone case for my iphone 5). Afterwards I made a quick stop at Centre Neuf to check their final sale before heading to one of my fave coffee place ..De Koffie Salon@Utrechtsestraat. There it was, such beautiful black loafers (I'm a sucker for black shoes .. and mostly MANLY shoes)! They are from WON HUNDRED and was on sale from 280 EUROS to 84 EUROS. Can you say No to that??? So though my feet are size 35 and the smallest is size 36, I don't care!! Put some paddings in.. and.. VOILA!
It's a good sign for a good year! and.. I'm back to the blogging life... :) :)
