Go Find It

I’ve never been to Amsterdam but I’ve heard it’s supposed to be quite a place. I was actually looking for something else on the map today when I decided just to have a quick look on Amsterdam. I was stunned; Amsterdam is filled with cool places.

I know that Sergi’s friends were going to Amsterdam not long ago and he listed a few cool places already but I felt the need to write a post about Amsterdam myself. Not because I have a specific place to tell you about but because there’s so much places pinned out on the map that I don’t even know where to start if I ever visit Amsterdam.

However, I know I’d love to go to this café that’s only open on Sundays, but most of all I’d love to visit Red light fashion district. Surely the Red light district is known for other things than fashion, but the transformation that has been made after designers was allowed to borrow some of the red lit windows, is supposedly amazing. Reading about it I’m convinced that this is one of the trendiest places you can visit in Europe at the moment.  What do you think?

Although I’m London based, I’m lucky enough to live with people from other countries such as Portugal and Greece. The house is a big melting pot and I really enjoy it. To us, it is indeed one more way to share and discover things we don’t know in London but also things from our respective countries and cultures.

One of my flatmates has recently come back from holidays in Greece (Athens to be exact) where he heard about a collective of artists and designers called White Box.

What I really like about the White Box concept is its double-objective: first, they have a showroom to both promote craft industry and organise exhibitions by artists and designers from Greece and, then, they try to facilitate the communication between up-and-coming designers and the public. To do so, some of them contribute to the blog Athenwears.

They always have great collection of bags, clothes and jewelleries that you can be sure you will never see on anyone else but you, as the Moldy Peaches used to say.

I really fancy to go to Athens now. Who’s coming?
