Florence by night

 

Florence is a beautiful city, but by night it's magical! Especially when you talk a walk on the Ponte Vecchio, sit down and admire the view from Piazzale Michelangelo or from San Miniato al Monte.
And while some of you might think Florence is all about Italian food... they have some pretty good Japanese restaurants as well. Oh and the nightlife....

Photos -from top to bottom- taken at San Miniato al Monte, Ponte Vecchio, il Nuovo Teatro dell'Opera, Cantinetta dei Verrazzano (appetizers), The Fusion Bar (sushi and cheesecake), Piazza Santo Spirito, San Miniato al Monte, Piazza della Passera, Piazza Santa Trinità, The Fusion Bar (cocktails).

ByDanie Designer Vintage store, Amsterdam

Sometimes magic happens... You walk into a store and you want to have it all. The Missoni dress, the Chanel jacket, the Dior top, the Hermès bag, the Louboutins, the cute friendship bracelets, even the flowers and the furniture... that's what happened when I entered the ByDanie Designer Vintage store in Amsterdam.

It's a tiny little shop in one of the nicest neighbourhoods in town. So it was no surprise to run into local celebrities, as well as old friends. And guess what? I walked out with a very nice purchase: a silk leopard print top by Christian Dior!!! And a couple of those lovely bracelets of course... irresistible!

Foreign visitors might not know Danie Bles, but when I tell you that she dresses almost all the Dutch it-girls, TV personalities, models, etc... I'm sure you'll want to be part of the clan. You might just buy one of their pre-owned items. And believe me, that's a good thing. (They won't wear that sexy dress again after they've been in all the tabloids...)

By the way, you can break the bank if you choose to do so, but it's not necessary. ByDanie sells high street fashion brands alongside couture. Next time you're in Amsterdam, make sure you stop by!
