A sarcastic hello...


I've discovered Anni B Sweet, a lovely girl from Malaga with an adorable voice that sings cute songs for people who likes the small things. She's made a lovely cover from Take on me by A-Ha, and has got some other cute songs... have a look at them, please!






This kind of artist makes me think that spanish music sometimes can be wonderful... even if they sings in english...

Today I've got to show you some cute things. First of all, my new vintage shoes:


They arrived yesterday from Chicago, aren't they lovely? Originally from the 60s, I'm in totally love with them! Thanks to Laia I've got them, because she was the one who saw them on Ebay! Thanks dear!

Polka dots shirt - H&M
Skirt - Vintage
Tights - H&M
Shoes - Vintage
Bag - Bought at Smsterdam
Sunglasses and butterfly ring - H&M
Necklace - Handmade by me

Yes, and that lovely skirt was bought on saturday at Encants, where you can find lovely things if you know where to look!

By the way, I want to show you what I bought at Amsterdam; only a few things, but really nice: 


The blue bag that you've met these days, from Van Gogh's museum; an eco-bag from Blond Shop and three lovely pieces of fabric for making ribbons. 


Wich one is your favourite?

The girl who came from Amsterdam (part II of a little Amsterdam's guide)

My second day at Amsterdam started really early in my bedroom... at 7 o'clock in the morning I woke up and dressed up for having a walk before breakfast!


I wish I would know that I didn't need my sunglasses...



It was raining that day, I think that's why I was smiling (you all know that I love rainy days!)

So I walked around Overtoom, and I discovered one great place in the number 301!
This was some kind of youth association where they practice their grafitti style and sells t-shirt, sprays and things like that... it was really great!!
And there was some more things I found that morning... 

After this lonely walk, I came back to the hotel and had breakfast with my classmates. That morning we were visiting the Fashion and Museum District and The Pijp, so we went there. First of all, the Fashion District, where I found MY vespa... 

And where we saw Chanel, Gucci, Hermés...


At Hermés I saw the most wonderful Birkin bag I've ever seen... gorgeous! And then... I amsterdam!

And the Pijp!


And later on, I visited Warterlooplane, the Flowermarket and Leidsestraat. 

The End and Time Machine, two vintage stores at Waterlooplane.
At Leidsestraat I met Robert, a guy who was trying to take some money for the animals who suffers violence... he was so kind and explained me about this and let me took some pictures to him!

So, from that day, I want you to recomend you these places: 

* De taart van m'n tante (Ferdinand Bolstraat 10).

A gorgeous place where you cand see great cackes... and eat them! So kitsch and lovely at the same time!! You must go!
* Burguermeester (there are various around Amsterdam, so enter in any of them!!)
Delicious burguers, we had lunch there and I really liked it... best than McDonalds or anyone else!

* Blond (Gerard Doustraat 69)

One of the funniest shop I've ever seen... everything is made for blond girls... so, everything is cute... and of course, for all girls!! I'll show you what I bought there, of course!


* Art Unlimited Postcards (Leidsestraat 57)

A place where you can find any kind of postcards!


So, this was my trip to Amsterdam, I hope you all liked this little guide about the city!!
Next stop... (I hope!)... Stockholm!

Oh, and THANK YOU to all of you who has enter my first giveaway... finally, I'll announce the winner on Sunday... so keep an eye on my blog!!
