Another afternoon wondering the streets of Amsterdam with Claire, Sonia and Kim. Wore one of my favorite dresses from Paul & Joe Sister. Once fall starts to hit (and believe me it hit hard in Amsterdam) all I want to do is wear dresses and skirts Paul and Joe's fall collection are my perfect travel staples.
 After walking around the canals (and after a good nap) we all headed over to the Hanazuki store where we made our own leggings and met the amazing creators of Hanazuki. I can't believe I actually used a sewing machine and still have all my fingers, I've sewn before, but would always prick myself, so this is a huge step, the leggings are also very comfy and corky. Later that day Claire and I went vintage shopping, there are seriously so many amazing stores in this city!

Just got back from Amsterdam with some of my favorite people Sonia, Claire and Kim.  We all worked on a very special project that I can't wait to share with you. Amazing time exploring the canals and a lot of me posing in front of coffee shops and oddly named disco's. It wasn't my first time in Amsterdam so there were a few streets I remembered, unless you count the time Claire and I got VERY lost for almost two hours, turned out we were literally walking in circles and made an enormous loupe de loupe around our hotel. 
I'm so happy to have brought my red coat I wanted something to keep me warm and I also tend to wander so it's a good color for the girls to find me in, blood red...you can't miss me

Top: random store in Amsterdam, Dress: Cynthia Vincent (smilar), Pink Blouse: Lucca Couture, Coat: She inside, Necklace, JewelMint, bag: Rebecca Minkoff, shoes: Ecco

Decided to go bare..the weather was sorta permitting and I also figured that layering cropped black shirts over anything really works. This Cynthia Vincent dress is strait off the racks from Summer 2012, could not wait till may to wear this so I made sure to pack it with me. Along with my new JewelMint
necklace that gives me a chocker effect when tied too tight.

Natalie and I decided to venture around on our own walking around just the two of us checking out the canals. This is such a beautiful city full of small winding streets and bikes...so many bikes! We joked about wanting to get some bikes and ride around, but never actually got a chance to do so, maybe next time.

After a super short flight Natalie and I have finally arrived in Amsterdam! So excited to be here working with Ecco. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I tried downloading an app to help me with easy words I could say to people...but I'm not very good at remembering them. Haha. The peeps from Ecco took us on a walking tour, which consisted of just fun mindless walking down different streets. You all know my love for mindless walking, so I loved every minute of it, even if it is pretty chilly.
I ended up being super touristy and bought a very tacky red light inspired mug for my dad, and then walked into a pole (don't ask i don't know how) and broke the handle....craft time.
We walked around for hours and even after all that my feet felt amazing! Tomorrow we leave for Copenhagen for the Ecco "Walk in Style". I can't believe I'm leaving Amsterdam already!!

More photos are coming, in the meantime you guys should follow me on Twitter and Tumblr for randoms!
