December 30, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

This city, full of colorful homes, canals and bridges, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals. Must-sees on any visitor's itinerary include the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum and the world's only floating flower market. Rent a bike and join thousands of locals navigating Amsterdam's labyrinthine streets, or just take in the sights on foot. For an unusual and memorable alternative to hotels, consider staying in a houseboat.

Below Van Nie Antiquairs, down a short set of narrow stairs, you will find La Doyenne, a lovely vintage couture boutique and real find for whoever appreciates elegant couture pieces including couture jewelry and handbags. The selection is stunning: many are runway pieces and invariably in excellent condition. They vigilantly scrutinize and painstakingly investigate their pieces for forgeries, that too often are found and sold to naive customers in other vintage stores. At La Doyenne, you know what you get. I stumbled upon a stunning Chanel solid silver bracelet with a different and intricate link, that I cherish and much enjoy wearing. Love browsing their new finds, which, thanks to their high requirements and trusted name, come in often.

Socks We Love

Reviewed By Magilune-travels

I stumbled across this shop and found a wonderland of hosiery dreams come true. Good quality items, lots of choices (bonus points for all of the dog socks, especially non pug ones) and the most wonderful customer service from the owner who spoke great English and was so easy to talk to. She told me I wasn't obliged to buy anything but I took no notice of that because I was on a mission to find some great pairs of socks. Prices for most of the items seems expensive but then take into account that most of the stock are not ones you will find on the high street and they are made in France. You are paying for quality and you can spend a long time browsing with people or just on your own. So worth visiting if you're a hosiery obsessive and so worth buying even 1 pair of socks from this place
