Similar to that of everyday we spent in Amsterdam, we begun the day with brunch. This time at one of my favourite spots, Metropolitian located on Rokin.
The interior is an utter dream. Enclosed within brick walls, and filled to the brim with leafy green plants, you can't help but feel at home with a coffee on your slouchy leather sofa.
We wetted our appetite with the best acai bowls around (complete with many cups of coffee), and headed out into the city centre.
Having explored the main shopping district of Amsterdam yesterday, we headed further afield firstly stopping by the flower market, a canal strip aligned with many stalls all selling a whole host of flowers, bulbs and souvenirs.
Yet again we found ourselves wandering the endless canals of Amsterdam, finding a whole host of hidden gems. One being the most amazing vintage store with a rail of the dreamiest fur coats.
Having known that I was visiting Amsterdam, I made it a priority to track down the Fred Perry store and take a visit, as currently we are working with the iconic brand for a brief this term. My main of the visit was to speak to one of the employees and gain an insight into the Dutch market, and also compare the retail space of this store to our British stores.
The interior itself was far less tailored to the brand, and looked rather like a retail space that was created as a pop up store for Fred Perry rather than it's own store.
The items stocked visibly in store were their iconic and most popular pieces such as the polo, and barrel bag.
Having left the store and found nearby shelter from the rain in a cafe, the sun finally decided to make an appearance for the afternoon.
We decided to hop on a rickshaw bike, and head to the MOCO.
Currently showing at the Modern Contemporary Museum, are Banksy and Warhol.
Warhol's exhibition focusing upon his love of for celebrities and royals, whilst Banksy his most famous works.
Overall I couldn't help but feel slightly underwhelmed by the exhibition as a whole, having expected the museum to be far bigger and hold far more art than there happened to be. However, I did thoroughly enjoy the works of Banksy in particular.
After the MOCO we headed back to our hotel and finished our last night at the only place we know how, The Sky Lounge.
Amsterdam, you truly stole my heart yet again. And all of my money.
Until next time!
