The brand Your Little Black Book

Your Little Black Book is free to visit online. New content is posted (almost) daily on topics selected by founder Anne de Buck and her team. These are tips, articles, and lists about travel and lifestyle topics that we personally find interesting at the moment and therefore enjoy sharing with our visitors. Your Little Black Book is compiled from a specific taste and feeling. The editors will never argue about why a specific piece of content is or isn't appropriate.

Social Media 
In addition to the blog, Your Little Black Book can be followed online for free via Instagram, Facebook, Youtube en PinterestWhile Anne tries to personally answer all DMs and messages received through these social media platforms, we primarily view these inboxes as a way to stay in closer contact with our followers, not as a communication tool for advertisers and brands. This is simply because, during busy periods, it's impossible to guarantee that all messages will be read in a timely manner.

Amsterdam City Guide app for iOS
Your Little Black Book also sells products for both offline and online use. “The Amsterdam City Guide – app” can be downloaded from the iOS App Store for $2,99. Maintenance and availability of this app are subject to a fee. Therefore, the English-language app, which now includes over 900 addresses in Amsterdam, is not offered for free. It is a distinct product from the blog, free of third-party advertising, and contains only tips about Amsterdam. The app receives a content update every quarter, or when sufficient new interesting addresses are added.

Books on travel and lifestyle
Anne has enjoyed publishing several books over the past few years. These books can be ordered online from, among others, Bol.com and are sold at concept stores and selected bookstores throughout the Netherlands.

Yourlittleblackbook.me therefore accepts no liability for any direct or indirect damage of any kind arising from or in any way related to the use of the site or the (in)accessibility of the site, as well as the associated social media channels, apps, and books.

The address tips are carefully selected and (almost always) personally tested, but it's possible your experience may differ from ours.

The information on the website, in the app, and in the books is regularly updated or revised with a new edition.

How to recognize collaborations

Your Little Black Book strives to be as transparent as possible about collaborations. Advertorials can always be recognized by the phrase "In collaboration with" below my signature. On Instagram, collaborations can be recognized by the hashtag #yourlbbcollab. You can also look for hashtags like #prgifted #invited #presstrip #ambassador or #received to indicate a collaboration, even if no monetary reward is paid.

By collaborating with advertisers, offering our own products such as (e)books, and expanding affiliate partnerships, our dream is to keep Your Little Black Book operating as an independent entrepreneur and completely independent for you for a very long time to come.
