Is your Netflix running overtime as well at the moment? With these gray skies, hard winds and rain drops binge watching is the best there is. Unless… super cool pop-ups are popping up un the city, then the temptation to go outside is hard to resist. I mean, how satisfying is it when you score a super exclusive item for a bargain price, jus before the holidays? Exactly, that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity if you’d ask me ;-) And I didn’t even mention the many sample sales, such as the one of Fabienne Chapot or LaDress– this weekend. Oh my, who was talking about Netflix again? Discover the six pop-up stores that you don’t want to miss, the very best sample sales and all the other fun to do’s in this Amsterdam Weekend Guide >> Enjoy!
