TRIED & TESTED: VICO ROTTERDAM

January 25th, 2012

Most striking feature:

The best sneakers ever. For men though. Last week they opened their first store in Mini Mall Rotterdam – on the Katshoek side (you can park your car in front of the shop).

The best way to present the shoes because the colors – especially the baby blue one – are really popping out. One of the owners told me that there Read the rest of this entry »

TRIED & TESTED: DEPOT ROTTERDAM

January 23rd, 2012

Most striking feature:

I live almost next door to Depot Rotterdam and everytime I walk past it I stop and stare. Depot Rotterdam is a huge inspiration for my interior. From the Ferm Living cushions to this very cute radio. Ofcourse they changed the windows/interior of the store in the four years I live there, but everytime I wished it was my living room. They have the ability to make design suitable for everyone. Not just for Read the rest of this entry »
