This is one of my favorite stores and really on top of the fashion trends. The prices are fine for what you get. Most is black, grey and white colors but they have very special fits for all kind of woman clothes. When I visit I always buy something. They are very populair in Amsterdam and we used like their bags a lot....

This is one of the oldest and biggest markets of Amsterdam in the open air. Here you can find everything. From clothes, to cheeses and from bikes to make up. They will sell big stroopwafels warm on the streets, which is a typical Dutch specialty. A lot of tourist will go here, not even to buy stuff but for the experience.
