Best bagels in town

Whenever it is lazy sunday again, bagels and I get along very well. I mean, who doesn't adore bagels? So, for all the ones who do, here come my three favourite bagel-spots in Amsterdam.

1. Village Bagels
Vijzelstraat 137 Amsterdam


2. Bagel Nash
Olympiaplein 148 Amsterdam

3. Bagels & Beans ( I know it is not exactly unknown, but still, their bagels are really good!)
My favourite location is: Zeilstraat 64 Amsterdam

Spotted in PS van de Week

Yay!
Last weekend my interview + pictures appeared in Parool's PS van de week, and I am so so so excited about it! I was asked to do an interview and here it is; my own little piece about why I started my blog, where the roots of my love for clothing lie and who I am as an eighteen year old girl.
I hope you like it, check it out and don't forget: comments are always more than welcome!
Love,
noor

The 8 most magical tips

There it was again. That feeling inside of me that keeps me from writing whatever it is I am thinking about. Even when drinking coffee after coffee, the ideas weren't making their appearance. This is the moment where I grab my laptop (or Ipad,which is too complicated for me to handle by the way) and take a visit to whowhatwear.com. I am the worst liar in this entire world,so let me just be honest by saying the tips below come from this addictive site. Read them,understand them,try them and love them! 

1. Break up noir pieces with neon trousers.
2. Style a midi dress with an oversized,furry vest.
3. Layer your outerwear for a stylish cold-weather outfit.
4. Elevate a turtleneck with a silky maxi skirt.
5. Freshen up your look with crisp,white separates.
6. Finish a sleek outfit with a boyfriend coat.
7. Pair a long tank dress with leather boots for a cool,90s look.
8. Swap your dark coat for a chic,white style.

FOAM: Joel Sternfeld Color Photographs since 1970

Foam is the one place you can escape to whenever you feel the need to do so. Whenever you lost your motto 'sunny side up'; get your ass down there immediately. Besides, now is the time,  because Joel Sternfeld is now 'exhibiting'. In case you are wondering if this isn't too arty farty for you or you want to go there 'prepared': Sternfelds' two trademarks are COLOUR and the USA (and its history). Two things that make me very happy indeed.

Brandy Melville

Oops I did it again! It was two summers ago when I fell in love (again) with the brand Brandy Melville. Never a dull moment when my friend in Los Angeles and I go shopping in LA, and this was our very first stop. It was like going shopping for groceries while you're hungry as hell. It's the kind of store that holds woollen and cashmere clothing só soft, you just want to smudge your face in them. And yes, it keeps getting better: Brandy Melville has now opened a store in Amsterdam, Leidsestraat! So if you want to spend your summer as the california kinda girl, you're at the right address. Are you already on your way? I know I am.
