FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM
Thursday, January 26, 2012This weekend, we’ll leave Amsterdam for another big city: Rotterdam. Until the 5th of February, the International Film Festival Rotterdam will take place. Apart from the newest films and documentaries, there will also be music, talk shows and parties.
We’re looking forward to the Tiger Awards in particular, where new talents from all over the world show their film in hopes to win the award. Fifteen films have been nominated and eight of them will have their world premiere at the festival. Expect great films from all over the world, from directors who might be the next Nanni Moretti or Lars von Trier.

HOTSPOT: SKINS AMSTERDAM
This post is for all the beauty-lovers amongst us. If you like to pamper yourself with luxurious products, we know just the perfect spot for you: Skins Cosmetics, with not only a store in Amsterdam but also in Rotterdam, Breda and Groningen.
Skins is the ultimate go-to for unique and exclusive perfumes, skincare and make-up. They import stuff from the most beautiful brands from all over the world, such as Laura Mercier, Aqua di Parma and E. Coudray. We love to go here on a Saturday, glance at all these amazing fragrances and lotions and eventually spend way more than we wanted to. And if we’re really in the mood for it, we spoil ourselves with a special beauty treatment in their salon.
You can find Skins Amsterdam in the Runstraat in the 9 Streets area, click here for more info, other addresses and their webshop.
FAVOURITE OF THE WEEK(END)
The weather is still a bit unpredictable in Amsterdam, so a practical (yet good-looking) jacket is essential. This week, we chose this stylish Maison Scotch raincoat as our Favourite of the Week.
It is the perfect throw-on-and-go jacket for the weeekend, no matter what the occasion is. Whether you’re running errands in the city, spending the day at the park or actually going on a little nautical trip. It will add a classic twist to your outfit and protect you from some accidental raindrops, while its colour matches pretty much everything. And for those of you not really into the nautical theme; check out our other Maison Scotch jackets here!
FOOD FESTIVITIES
Thanks to the national ‘Hemelvaart’ holiday tomorrow, we’ll have an extra long weekend. There are quite some nice events during this holiday, one of them ‘Het Weekend van de Rollende Keukens’ (which means ‘rolling kitchens’) at the Westergasfabriek. Dozens of mobile restaurants will gather here to create one big open-air restaurant, cooking the most delicious things for you.
Expect gastronomic pizza wagons, eccentric barbeque campers and soup carts, as well as drinks and music. What’s not to like? You can easily spend the entire weekend there, all we have to do is keep our fingers crossed for the weather!
‘Het Weekend van de Rollende Keukens’ takes place Thursday 17th – Sunday 20th from 13-23hr.
