Rotterdam has a lot to offer, there’s something in it for everyone. From shops, parks, restaurants to entertainment, high-tech architecture and a subway. Many hot spots are located in the city center, on walking distance from each other. I especially love the places where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee and a tasty sandwich.

Markee recreates the fun & quirky style of silent film starlet Clara Bow.
Clara Bow was the original 'it' girl, and has been inspiring fashion for generations. She seemed to just throw fun and quirky stuff together with ease, and had the confidence to pull it off every time. She was one of the first movie stars to wear men's clothing, and loved adorning her hair with stars and scarves. She was a huge animal lover as well. I've always been inspired by her fashion, because she manages to use it to allow her unique and fabulous personality shine through it.

Julie recreates the Edwardian rustic style kitchen from Downton Abbey.
In the Edwardian era, inspiration was borrowed from the Victorian era and what 'modern' should be. This recreated the early 20th century. Downton abbey is no different. The love of useful yet pretty objects is seen in its copper wares, decoration, and even the aprons. Canning jars, canisters of all sorts, porcelain, and wood tables and shelving make up this kitchen. I have compiled a list of tutorials that will help you get this look.
