Amsterdam, part 1

Firstly, I have to apologise for dropping off the blogosphere this past month! Life has been a little crazy, so let's start back at the beginning...

Mr Porter and I spent a glorious weekend in Amsterdam at the end of March when we all thought Europe was being blessed with an early summer. To be honest, we didn't really see any of the tourist sights - not even some of the museums we wanted to visit. When you've only got two days to explore, lining up in a queue for any long period of time seems a waste, and the weather was simply too good to be indoors!

Instead, armed with Amsterdam: Made By Hand by Australian stylist Pia Jane Bijkerk, we quite simply got lost in Amsterdam's backstreets.

How do you prefer to travel? Do you like to tick off the sights or do you prefer to wander? NHG x

Outfit details: Trench coat, APC; sunglasses, Chanel; denim shirt, pink jeans, floral top, all Topshop.

  1. Your APC trench looks gorgeous on, perfect for this rainy weather and for weekends in Amsterdam. I lived in Strasbourg for a year and so, being so central, I spent almost every weekend jumping on the train and discovering a new European city. Wandering is always best because you never know what you mind stumble upon :)
