HOT NEWS: NEW STORE HEEMSTEDE!

JUTKA & RISKA store number 4 is a fact!
If you want to experience our latest prodigy, please come over to Heemstede (NL), Binnenweg 4 (what a coincidence?!) and check out our new store. As soon as the photocamera can survive the snow, I'll put up some pics on the blog. Untill then, best thing you can do is take a dull afternoon to go to Heemstede and check it out yourself!

Yana loves Kenzo

While I'll be counting your votes, you can munch on these beautiful pics of our lovely and loyal customer Yana. This time she shows off her latest favorite item in the Antwerp store: this great colorful vintage Kenzo jacket (€250,-). To match the jacket, she's wearing a handmade Manjewell hairpiece (bird €15,-) and a faux fur headband/ear warmer (€29,-). Also the bracelets look awfully familiar, I guess she'd already bought the bracelets in our store a while ago. Big up for our Yana; thanks for sharing your great modeling skills!

Winter competition: please vote

Last week after writing my Sinterklaas poem and feeling sick of the sweets and chocolate letters I ate, I came up with the following idea: Let's have the 3 stores battle in a little frosty competition for the most creative, the most fun, the most warm and layered winter-proof look to match the slippery and snowy landscape outside. And hell, these stores reacted FAST. All striving to become this championship's winner, they went crazy layering their poor colleagues until they would suffocate. But you got to suffer to look fabulous, right? Now it's time for you to get your voting cards out and tell us which one of the contestants you like best.

Sinterklaas Wishlist

Sinterklaas is back! This Sunday night we will sit around the chimney sipping on bishops wine and munching peppernoten and other sweets. I hope you all remember the songs and hopefully you've been nice, however a free trip to Spain does not sound bad to me at all at the moment. To make sure Sinterklaas will just come as well prepared as we will be ourselves and to help him out a little (the old man is not getting any younger), Veerle photographed her wishlist(s). So Sinterklaas, if you or one of your helper Pieten read this, remember, Veerle was not too naughty, but nice. She deserves this ;-) And so do all the other readers of this blog... right?

Haarlem represent! Olga Nunnink

The weather these last few days just turned incredible! Global warming: YEAH right.... Freezing toes, haircuts that don't stand these low temperatures, have you also tried to lock your bike with your poor frozen fingers? Nevertheless there's one great thing about the polar climate entering our continent: we can finally show off our big, furry, warm winterproof coats! Just do like Olga: this way you will look just as gorgeous and fashionable while shuffling through the slippery snow covered streets coming week. Olga is a 23 year old stylist from Amsterdam and has a great fashion/style blog of her own which is definitely worth checking out while warming up with a hot cup of cocoa.

And while hiding behind the laundry baskets, you promise yourself never to let this happen again, next time: dress to impress? Well, Daphne sure came prepared...Let the hot guys come on in!

And can you imagine my face when my mom told me she used to own a pair of these Christian Dior sunnies in green, but she threw them away years ago because she didn't like them anymore?!?!? So here's a little proposition for all of you fashion loving ladies reading this. Let's take a pledge for the generation ahead of us, making sure we won't have to deal with sad faces of our future daughters. Please repeat after me: I, (your name), solemnly swear, that I will safely store all extraordinary items I currently own for years to come. As soon as you have to start renting a Citybox, feel free to make a new selection ;-) Why didn't anyone come up with this 30 years ago?!
