In between biking along the canals, musuem-hopping and consuming our body weight in stroopwafels, my sister and I somehow managed to squeeze in some shopping. Not a lot--just the bare minimum packed with most essential stops. First up: Love Stories, the beloved Amsterdam-based lingerie and loungewear brand that perfectly captures Dutch cool—relaxed and light-hearted, but with an edgy wink, pics below. Since bras are no longer considered underwear (see Prada Spring 2026, Miu Miu, and Khaite making them a legit going-out top, or in my case, a peek-a-boo one), this stop felt more urgent than all the rest. Obviously, we scored, with black sequin and lace/leopard print options, along with a double-breasted cardigan and beaded skirt. We popped into Arket and decided to buy/share this perfect pair of blue corduroys and the red polo, below. Of course, we brought and shared our own fall favorites from home, including my embellished TWP blouse, last pic. Off to Paris now!
