Kitchens on Wheels

Yesterday we went to "Rollende Keukens" which is a food festival with kitchens on wheels. There are different cuisine's, coffee specialists, creperies, tapas bars, a foodies heaven! Also awesome live music and a great atmosphere. It runs till Sunday may 12th, so if you are in Amsterdam it's definitely worth to go there, and remember; Don't eat before you go!

 I believe they serve horse burgers here.... which is the new meat just ask UFC fighter Alistair Overeem. The cutest little Italian coffee car-bar on the picture below.

Stripes & Florals

Finally got to wear a pair of shorts this weekend, besides the wind it was a gorgeous day. We spent the day roaming a flea market and having drinks at a place called "Pllek" and "Noorderlicht" These are two cool places on the other side of the water overlooking the city of Amsterdam. If you are in Amsterdam this summer, make sure to take a ay to relax at either one of these places!

Cinco de Mayo!

For those who think Cinco de Mayo is just a holiday or an excuse to sip margaritas or shot tequila, it is actually a day to celebrate the Mexican culture. 

It is celebrated in the US but originates from Mexico. It used to be a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy and now it is a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. So here's a toast to the Mexican culture for being so colorful and ardent.

Salud!

Get Crafty This Weekend

 After yesterdays post I wanted to share a little of my jewelry making tips. Above you see my latest creations of necklaces and bracelets. below you see how it usually starts off (one big pile of crafties). I like to get all of it out so I can see what I have and see which colors or textures fit nice together and ofcourse I like to clash colors; neons with black and whites, opposites attract instead of keeping it safe in the same color pallet.

 The first and third necklace (see pictures above) I braided. The first was braided, including the bolts as you go along. 

With the second necklace I wrapped multiple ropes together.

*Tip; Stick your rope down with washi tape

 If wrapping other twine or so around the rope, secure it by melting the ends or by superglueing them. 

(superglue = my friend)

Last step is to attach a clasp (use your pliers for this) 

*Tip; find clasps at a arts & crafts store or reuse one from an old necklace!

Black 'n White Crop Top

 I have been collecting ropes, string and other materials that I'm attracted to over the past few months and I have never actually done anything with them until this necklace. Rope items are this springs and summers hottest accessories and it is really cool to be able to say; "I did it myself".

Get inspired this weekend and make your own rope necklace!

Amsterdam; Neighborhood Food Market

Yesterday we went to the Amsterdam Neighborhood Food Market. It was a very nice atmosphere and delicious smells of fresh foods everywhere. From baked goods to hot meals from all over the world; Lebanese falafels, Mexican taquitos and also savory sandwiches like ba-pao and grilled cheeses. Enough yummies to satisfy your taste buds! If you ever get the chance, you should definitely stop by!
