Amsterdam

Report from: Vogue Fashion’s Night Out. Shopping in Amsterdam!

15 September 2012

Bubbels, fashion en modemeisjes!
Samen met mijn vriendin Meike was ik deze week op de Vogue Fashion\’s Night Out in Amsterdam. Wat een shopping feest in de PC Hoofstraat winkels en de Van Baerlestraat! In iedere winkel, van Vanilia tot Burberry, werden we verwend met een glas bubbels en de lekkerste hapjes. Zelfs het Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam was alleen deze avond alvast geopend voor een heuse fotoshoot met

Victor & Rolf. Fashionista\’s moesten onder het genot van een glas champie wel even twee uur wachten tot de heren arriveerden, maar ach… modemeisjesonder elkaar vermaken zich wel!

Speciaal voor de Vogue Fashion´s Night Out waren de straten prachtig aangekleed met rozen en rode lopers. I LOOOOOOVE het Vogue logo met de rozen.

Na het shoppen hebben we nog lekker gegeten bij brasserie George W.P.A. Een leuk restaurant in Amsterdam Oud Zuid!

Volgend jaar zelfde tijd zelfde plaats?
