New column on Your Little Black Book!
Remember when I shared my weekly hotspot and lifestyle updates every Monday on the blog? This year I will start sharing my weekly adventures again. I never stopped sharing my latest hotspot discoveries and persinal notes on Instagram. And I have good news! I will start sharing them again on Your Little Black Book. Thanks for all the emails asking me to start blogging about my personal life again now the team of @yourlbb is growing. So from now on I will share a glimpse into my life with the Instagram Weekly. And since it’s already mid January I’ll share my first two weeks combined in this blog ;-). My god… time flies!!
Instagram Weekly #1
Doesn’t January 1 seems long ago already? I started the new year with the perfect anti-hangover brunch on the beach :-)
One of my fav ‘new’ places in De Pijp for drinks and an easy dinner with friends is Volt. So the first weekend of the new year we went for dinner with friends and talked the night away about festivals we want to hit this year and one day. Can’t wait for summer to return!
Getting ready for dinner with friends at Volt! Love this neighbourhood gem in #Amsterdam :) #yourlbb #hotspot #restaurant #interior #photooftheday #photo #instadaily #blogger Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
SOOOOOOOO COOL!! January 4 we hosted our first pop-up event – ever. A brunch with 40 followers at Beter & Leuk in Amsterdam East. With super healthy food. If you want to get a note about our next event, subscribe to the newsletter for the updates.

Instagram Weekly #2
What a perfect start of the week! Lunch with The Lion Kitchen. Talking about our blogger lifes and girl stuff. I have very cool news to announce. We’ll be sharing a delicious recipe of The Lion Kitchen on Your Little Black Book every week this year! YUM :-)
New year’s lunch with @thelionkitchen at #hotspot #Kessens in #Amsterdam! Exciting plans for 2015 :) #foodporn #food #foodies #blogger #cityguide #travel Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
Unpacking this gift box last week made my heart go faster. I can’t help it… I just LOVE beautiful bags ;-). Items like these complete my wardrobe which is 80% high street and 20% high fashion, lol. The YSL bag I dreamed of all 2014!
Wow! Christmas came late this year <3!! What a great start of the new year :) @ysl @netaporter #ysl #iconbag #saintlaurent #monogramme #black #fashion #happy #blogger Een video die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
One of the things I like most about being a full time entrepreneur is that I can work from my new home office. Every week Yourlbb’s editor Ellis and I meet to work on new items for the blog. It’s so great to be surrounded with inspiring people with the same interests in life! Eating delicious chocolate of Stach!
In the meanwhile at the office… the @stach_food dark #chocolate is irresistable ;) #food #foodies #blogger #amsterdam #tea #photooftheday #instadaily Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
I have to admit I have a weakness for everything with antlers. So when I discovered WILD! at the Gerard Doustraat in Amsterdam I just HAD to do in. Can’t wait to go back for one of their wine tastings with my lover :-)
New #food #hotspot in #Amsterdam! At Wild! it’s all about game meat. From workshops to cookbooks! #cityguide #photooftheday #blogger #instadaily #interior Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
YEAH!! The first trip of the new year… to one of my fav cities in Europe. London baby! You all know how much I love firsts… I flew with Garuda Indonesia for the first time and absolutely loved it. They serve you a meal during the flight, it’s a super comfortable airplane and you can bring over 30kg of luggage for only € 99,-.
First flight of the year! Going to #London baby :) @garuda.indonesia @schiphol #privium #travel #photooftheday #girl #blogger #style #nevernottravelling Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
Always wanted to stay at The Hoxton in East London! And now we finally did. Of course I will share a full blog about it soon. When you’re at The Hoxton make sure to taste that super juicy and delish burger at the Hoxton Grill!
Weekend in #London! Late lunch at classic @HoxtonGrill at the cool @hoxtonhotel. #interior #design #hoxton #eastlondon #travel #blogger #nevernottravelling Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op

I’m a HUGE street art fan. Or maybe I should say addict… just as much as I love hotspots is my love for street art. And then especially when it’s from my fav artists like ROA or Banksy. Shoreditch is street art heaven. Some of the pieces I photographed this weekend:

Nom nom nom! All day breakfast at The Breakfast Club in Hoxton. You HAVE to check this place on your next trip. One of my favs for breakfast and brunch :-)
All day #breakfast at the #BreakfastClub in #London #Hoxton. Try the breakfast #burrito! #yourlbbinlondon #cityguide #foodporn #food #instafood #instayum #blogger Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
Or check out one of the other many great coffee bars in Shoreditch. It’s so inspiring to see how many indie coffee bars open up. So many new spots to discover while enjoying my morning cappuccino :-)
Enjoying the #London life! Morning #coffee for a lazy #Sunday :) #hoxton #eastlondon #yourlbbinlondon #girl #blogger #photooftheday | wearing @zoekarssen Een foto die is geplaatst door Anne de Buck from Amsterdam (@yourlbb) op
Last Saturday we had dinner at St. John in London. Finally! The restaurant reminded me of Rijsel a bit. The menu is less culinary though but really good. Pure British traditional food made with the best local produce. I had the braised octopus and I almost wanted to lick my plate…. so delicious!
One of my favourite Indian restaurants is Dishoom in Shoreditch. A great place for a delicious brunch with cocktails or shared dinner with friends. The next morning we went back home again with Garuda Indonesia! I’m going to miss you London :-).
Hope that your first weeks of 2015 were just as fun as mine. Keep you posted in these personal blogs! xx
