Bijenkorf

The Bijenkorf (Beehive in Dutch) is the oldest and most high-end luxury department store in The Netherlands. One year ago they added a premium service: shopping with personal assistance. It was long overdue and about time for Mimi Berlin Blogger Team to finally shop with one of the personal shoppers at The Bijenkorf in Amsterdam.

Maybe that camera dangling from her arm is hint towards the package being photo camera accessories? Photo’s by Ralph Crane, Sacramento, California. © Time Inc.

Adventure #22: Tosti has a Change of Hair

Posted on 13/08/2013 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

As we all know Tosti is a little Diva, and he likes to dress up. The other day he just had enough of his curly locks, they had to be changed. He decided upon being a blonde.
It took ages at the doggy parlour, but the result was stunning: A blonde beehive for Tosti!
We hope he can maintain this new hairdo!!
