“I went to a visual arts high school and focused on film photography. Ever since, I’ve loved capturing my life. My husband is also into film cameras. We are adventurers and travelers, and part of the fun for us is capturing our journey as we live it!”

3 Days in Amsterdam

by Ricarda Schernus of Cats & Dogs • October 8, 2014

As Europe’s most 17-century city, Amsterdam exudes the spirit of “live and let live.” It’s glistening canals and winding pathways make for travel by boat or bike an idyllic experience, rivaling that of Venice, Italy. Although for such an aged city, Amsterdam is remarkably progressive – built upon the concept of fine living, good food and an appreciation for tasteful art and street corner jazz. 

This also happens to be the city where Ricarda Schernus of Cats & Dogs spent a few days while celebrating the launch of a friend’s new website. She was generous enough to share with us some of her favorite discoveries about this cozy, yet forward-thinking, destination!

“I don’t even think words can describe the beauty that is Amsterdam during the springtime. Despite the cold weather and grim wind, I had a great time, met some wonderful new people, and discovered little spots downtown that I didn’t even know before.”

“Please excuse my face, I couldn’t even smile or talk anymore because it was freezing so badly! I felt alright again after a couple of hot teas.”

“Although I think discovering your own little spots in the city is an adventure in itself, here are a few hotspots I would highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Amsterdam sometime soon.”

“For breakfast and coffee – or lunch – try De Wasserette on Erste van der Helstraat 27”

“AMATØR x IVY & LIV temporary (located on Herengracht 296) is the best for boutique shopping.”

“Finally, Cottoncake concept store is a must (located on Erste van der Helstraat 76). They even have a real cotton plant!”

It’s the ultimate paradigm of New York’s infectious energy and optimism. New Tiffany Tby Tiffany & Co. captures, with effortless precision, the unique essence of one of the most creatively influential cities in the world. 

The collection celebrates the interdependence, open-mindedness and unapologetically modern culture that defines the fashion, art and design communities of New York and beyond – serving as a source of courage, strength and reinvention for its wearers. 

“I wanted to create a symbol for modern life and its relentless energy that flows through New York and drives art and culture around the world,” says the new design director Francesca Amfitheatrof. “This is just the beginning of what I hope to accomplish.” 

Dedicated to the world’s greatest cities and the global travelers who gravitate to the edge – where creativity sparks change – we’re thrilled to share with you our latest lookbook featuring multiple sides of Tiffany T, styled and worn by fashion influencersLisa Dengler of Just Another Fashion Blog and Kiara Schwartz of Tobruck Ave.

“In the days leading up to New York Fashion Week, I try to be as easygoing as I can in what I’m wearing. Tiffany T allows me to be just that while still standing out. Being graphic, bold and closely tied to the architecture of New York City, the collection truly resonates with me. It’s always a great talking point when meeting with other like-minded individuals.”

The Tiffany T wire bracelet is stunning on its own, yet simple enough to stack with other bracelets from the collection.

Not unlike the bold character of New York itself, Tiffany T’s American-fueled ethos of design both harnesses and releases the forces of liberty, freedom and creative ingenuity into the world.

“Here I am, wearing a simple white boyfriend shirt with silk trousers and black heels - perfect for a day of pre-NYFW meetings, showroom visits – you name it.” – Lisa Dengler

KIARA SCHWARTZ | TOBRUCK AVE

“Fashion Week is upon us in new York City, preparing to see into the future through the visions of my favorite designers of what street style could look like in 2015 is incredibly exhilarating. This season’s new collection from Tiffany & Co. is an ideal representation of the New York spark I have come to thrive off of. It’s effortlessly cool and elevates every look to the perfect amount of edge I am looking for this season.”

For Kiara, Tiffany T exudes lightness, clarity and freedom, epitomizing the pinnacle American design.

The collection is upscale, yet versatile – traveling with ease from uptown to downtown.

“The design pays tribute to the Tiffany name,” says Amfitheatrof. “But there’s also a verticality and intensity to the letter that I associate with the energy and optimism of New York. And there is a lot of New York in Tiffany T.” 

Tiffany T comes in 18 karat gold – rose, yellow and white – and sterling silver. The strong, graphic letter T is simplified, deconstructed and bent into jewelry that expresses an extraordinarily beautiful clarity. There are monumental hinged cuffs, minimal bracelets, chains of varied lengths and pendants, and rings and earrings lean and confident in their sensuality. 

We’re excited to see what our bloggers have in store with Tiffany T as they embark on New York Fashion Week. Stay tuned for more coverage to come.
