Back when I was fifteen I got my first job in a local shoe shop. I can remember getting my first pay check like it was yesterday. At the time I wasn't living in Amsterdam like today, but I knew that was were I wanted to spent my first self earned money. I took the train to Amsterdam and found myself wondering and looking for something I had my eye on for a while. It was then that pointed heels were totally knew, and I found the perfect pair. Before heading home I visited De Bijenkorf (Dutch department store). I loved looking at all the chic looking makeup counters. One that was very different from the rest was the beauty counter by Calvin Klein. Designed all white and spacious I couldn't help myself from having a quick look. That visit resulted in buying my first lipstick. I remember that I wanted a classic red, with a brown and natural looking undertone. And that's what I found. The next thing I knew I was sitting in the train, on my way back home, feeling all grown up. Not only did I buy the most fashionable (kitten) black pointed heels and a classic red lipstick to match, but I purchased everything with my own money. And that was a feeling I absolutely loved.
