Amsterdam Fashion Week

July 12, 2016

Location: Gashouder Fabriek Amsterdam

Back in Amsterdam, straight to Fashion Week. Life is good right? To be honest, We didn't even plan to attend this year, basically because Emiel and I have been really busy preparing for our move to Indonesia in October. Still, I could not resist swinging by after receiving an invitation by one of my favorite Dutch designers: Dennis Diem

We met up with this year's winner of Holland Next Top Model Loiza Lamers. This beauty is  just the sweetest, down to earth girl you can imagine. I am already pretty tall around 5 ft 7, but without heels and wearing flats, I felt like a dwarf next to this long legged stunner lol.

I walked out the house wearing silver metallic heels but ran back to change into these comfy flat sandals I bought on Kei Kecil islands a few months ago. I was looking for a casual, "I am not trying too hard look" and most important I wanted to be comfortable all night. I have always, and I mean ALWAYS worn high heels to Fashion Week, but remembered feeling miserable the last time I went.  I did not want that, and guess what? I had the most fun I've ever had during a fashion week event. Yay for the flat shoes trend this season!

The show

Dennis Diem a very well established Dutch designer kicked some serious rock and roll ass with his new collection: Sweet Rebel.  Dennis was inspired by the cult movie: Cry baby by John Waters and partnered with designer Jos Jacobs for a "sexy good girl, bad boy" contrast, while presenting Sweet Rebel with a great spectacle that screamed: absolutely fabulous!

After a great show, it was party time with Dutch DJ Carita La Nina spinning some funky tunes!

Our new favorite icecream cocktail is a Scroppino. It is so deliciousssss. I just had to share the recipe with you guys

Scroppino ingredients

120 gramms Italian lemon ice cream
15 ml vodka
30 ml of prosecco
1 scroppino tool (consists of a basin, garde and jug)
1 lemon

Preparation

- Add the lemon ice cream along with the vodka in the basin.
- Beat with the whisk the vodka through the ice cream untill a smooth emulsion.
