I really enjoyed this ! What a treat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-315108 Wed, 16 Mar 2011 06:48:03 +0000 HeleenH 315108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@CocoLion, I agree, it seems to be only the props that are American. I guess the dress in picture 8 could be considered a hippy dress and thus American, although the hippies were influenced by India... I went to their website and apparently the youth collection is inspired by 'the Californian dream', swimming clothes 'sunset beach', so you should totally relate to these clothes When you browse this part of the site with the arrows on the left and right, you can see clips of the C&amp;A runways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314832 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:51:54 +0000 CocoLion 314832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Heleen I really enjoyed these pictures!</p> <p>Some observations:</p> <p>The only thing American to me about the C&amp;A window is the traffic signs and the reds whites and blues. The styling looks very European to me!</p> <p>The maternity shop clothes look fab and cool, it makes me want to be pregnant!</p> <p>I am in San Francisco at the moment (short vacation). The windows and shops look more European to me than those in Los Angeles, where I was last week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314793 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 21:35:55 +0000 Aida 314793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic, I'd like to say thanks as well! It is a treat to see these </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314725 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:01:33 +0000 HeleenH 314725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Patty, I was thinking the same thing, wouldn't it be fun to go window shopping around the world together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314724 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:00:51 +0000 Jonesy 314724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful and what fun! When I see neutrals like beige and cream like this (all layered, with lots of different textures and slight shade variations to keep it interesting) then the push for these colors makes some sense. But these sorts of layered looks are hard to pull off if you are real and not a mannequin, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314709 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:46:32 +0000 Laura 314709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the most fun I've had in a long time! Feels like I've seen Euro fashion through your eyes - brilliant! My overall impression is soft colors, lots of neutrals, longer, softer skirts, lots of skinnies. Lots of cream! Looks very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314708 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:46:12 +0000 Anonymous 314708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heleen, this was such fun! I'm amazed at the amount of beigy tones. Thank you for taking us window shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314707 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:35:09 +0000 JayS 314707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that a Mulberry Alexa bag I spy from Warmer in pic #3??

Thanks so much for taking all these pictures! I even enjoyed the glimpses of the public (boots and scarves- yay).</p> <p>Isn't YLF's international reach wonderful? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314572 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:03:19 +0000 HeleenH 314572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find that I often am sorry after buying C&amp;A clothes... Jeans have something in it that irritates my skin, winter tops are made of a synthetic fabric that makes me smell horrible even with the best deodorant.<br /> HEMA is great for basics. I also like Expresso, although the fuchsia pink knitted dress I bought there lost its shape in my washing machine, so it is home-only now...<br /> H&amp;M is great for sizes under 122. Between 128 and 15/16 year old they have very little. It is a pain to find clothes for my 12 year old in our shopping centre: clothes are either too childish or too large... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314569 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:58:56 +0000 Queen Mum 314569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just have to pop in and say I just love the term "window shopping" For some reason it reminds me of my childhood... probably just because it is a term I remember my mom using alot. You don't hear that much anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314568 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:57:22 +0000 Angie 314568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Bootcuts and skinnies it is" - I am Dutch at heart :)</p> <p>Both higher end and lower end shops in the Netherlands are fab. De Hema is always worth a look, as is V&amp;D, H&amp;M and C&amp;A. (Hilarious that they are marketing an American look!)</p> <p>I am most happy that you had fun doing this, Heleen. That's YLF's only rule that can't be broken. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314560 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:50:35 +0000 HeleenH 314560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it funny that C&amp;A (a big clothes store in the cheaper price range) is marketing its clothes as 'American' while I am showing you a tiny bit of European fashion?<br /> I enjoyed doing it for you Angie. Some of these shops I would never go in to but now I have looked at their clothes a little bit closer and I can see myself using some of their items.<br /> You are right, no flared trousers. Boot cut and skinnies it is. I found it very difficult to find pants to suit my wide hips (fortunately they are less wide now so it is not that much of a problem any more).<br /> There are many more clothes shops in our little mall, but they have inside windows and in the shopping centre, there are no camera's allowed. And since I have a large camera and an ancient mobile phone, no way of sneaking a picture here or there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314552 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:39:35 +0000 Mo 314552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed 'strolling along' with you, as well. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314550 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:38:50 +0000 MsMary 314550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what fun!! Thanks so much for bringing a bit of Europe to the rest of us!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314548 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:37:41 +0000 HeleenH 314548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Gingko, some of it is red (matching the white-and-red patterned skirts), some of it is an autumny-orange (Claudia Sträter). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314546 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:36:04 +0000 rute 314546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work Heleen!<br /> Love to see the the windows! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314545 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:35:11 +0000 Angie 314545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!!! Heleen!!! THANK YOU. Your efforts are astounding and you have made my day!! I am absolutely tickled that you did this for YLF. You did a brilliant job window shopping for me :)</p> <p>I know most of the shops. Looks like soft colours are big at the moment, but brights are on their way. Nautical themes are there too, as is black and white. I have always been a big Claudia Sträter fan, and you know that the Bijenkorf has my heart. </p> <p>I will study the pictures further and deeper, but no flared trousers I see? Skinnies and longer skirts rule the roost. And scarves and crossbody bags are always big in the Netherlands because people commute on foot and on their bikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314536 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 15:25:27 +0000 Ginkgo 314536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, I enjoyed strolling along, checking out the shop windows! Was that sort of a red/orange color I was seeing quite a bit of on cardis? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314484 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:53:34 +0000 HeleenH 314484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pictures were taken at the shops with outside windows of the main shopping centre in a suburb just south of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. A picture tells a thousand words, especially since I am not so familiar (yet?) with the nuances of fashion in English. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie-come-windowshopping-with-me#post-314478 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 13:50:15 +0000 nicoleb 314478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*invites herself along on the window shopping trip* :D</p> <p>Wow!

Only one shop owner came out to ask what I was doing. I told her my Dutch friend who now is a stylist in Vancouver wanted to know what the fashion was over here and I didn't know how to tell better than with pictures and that was fine with her. I will start with these 3 shops and see how it works with the pictures that I pasted together. More will follow! I have kept the originals so if you want me to send you the originals via e-mail, send me a message.<br /> 1. La Ligna<br /> 2. Next Issue<br /> 3 Bandolera </p>
