Earring earring on the wall...

It has to be somewhere.. I got one here, but where is the other one? Lost an earring (again!)? Such a pity! This is a dilemma I can't have any more since my earrings are neatly organized on an earring board. However, it looks like chaos ;)... Mine is already old but I made some new ones for friends :). However, I think that there are more bell-addicts in this world tired of losing their beloved ones so I made some extra boards. Pictures of those available will follow soon. Please let me know if you're interested by writing me a letter (Netherlands and Belgium only) and we'll be in touch!

This is one I made for friends. The size is 30x40 cm. The inside is white striped fabric with two tones of silver/grey lining. There is space for different sizes of earrings. The maximum number of pairs is ca. 65.

The price range is €30-€40.

Discovering Haarlem!

Last week I went shopping in Haarlem for the first time. My mission: work clothes! Of course it is very easy to visit H&M, Vero Moda, Only, Vila, etc. But there is no point in going to an undiscovered shop city if that is what you want... same collection everywhere! Boooring! Haarlem is a perfect city for such mission :D! Lovely boutiques in the streets surrounding the main shopping street. So... if you are planning a shopping trip to Haarlem, please do not forget these lovely findings :)...

AMANZIO

Located at the Kruisstraat 40, you will find a modern shop Amanzio. Quality clothes from designers from different countries for reasonable prices. I bought this cute blazer from Attentif, a French label. Next to clothes they sell shoes (high-higher-highest heels!), bags (birkin style) and other accessories. Visit www.amanzio.nl for further information... :)!

IT

Located at the Barteljorisstraat (north end), is a luxuary boutique named IT. They also have a shop at the Gedempte Oude Gracht 91. Not cheap, but oh so nice! They sell labels like Ted Baker, Supertrash, mbyM and jet more to come! I bought this high waisted skirt from mbyM with an all-the-way-down zip at the back :). For more information visit www.ithaarlem.nl. They even have a fish spa! Enjoy!

The best kept secret/ Jutka&Riska Located at Gierstraat 45 you will find the English style shop The Best Kept Secret. Run by an English mother and daughter. They have unique items! Really really really a must go!! They travel back to England every other week to come back with 500 new items. Most of them are posted on their facebook wall. I bought this dress and blue pants. But if I would have had the money.... oh! Almost forgot to mention the accessories they sell! I am in love! Fall in love to at www.facebook.com/bestkeptsecretfashion

Another lovely boutique is situated at Kruisstraat 15, Jutka&Riska. They sell vintage items, own design, new collections, items by young designers and customized items. They also sell accessories to match :). It was the last shop I visited before I went home, next time it will be the first ;)! Visit www.jutkaenriska.nl for more information.
