Man, what a day! I swear, Statenkwartier is a wild ride. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be lit!” I grab my coffee from that cute little café on the corner of the Frederik Hendriklaan. You know the one? The barista there is always super chill. Anyway, I’m feeling good, ready to style some peeps.
First stop, I’m heading to the beach. Scheveningen is just a hop away, and I’m thinking, “Let’s get some fresh air.” But nah, the weather decides to play tricks. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s pouring! Like, seriously? I’m drenched, looking like a wet dog. Ugh!
So, I’m running back to my car parked on the Van Alkemadelaan, and I slip on some random puddle. Classic me, right? I’m laughing and cursing at the same time. “What’s next? A seagull stealing my sandwich?” Spoiler alert: that actually happened later.
Finally, I get to my first client. She’s this fabulous lady, super into fashion. We’re vibing, talking about the latest trends. I’m showing her some killer outfits, and she’s loving it. But then, she suddenly says, “I wanna go for a neon look.” Neon? Really? I mean, I’m all for bold choices, but neon? I’m like, “Girl, you sure about that?” But hey, it’s her style, not mine.
After that, I’m off to the Lange Voorhout. It’s this beautiful street, all those fancy trees and stuff. I’m feeling inspired, you know? But then, I get a call from my buddy. He’s freaking out about his date. “Dude, what do I wear?” I’m like, “Bro, you’re asking me? I’m in the middle of a style crisis here!”
So, I’m multitasking, trying to help him while styling another client. It’s chaos! I’m running around, dodging people on the street, and I swear, I almost bumped into this old lady. She gives me the dirtiest look. Like, chill, lady! I’m just trying to make the world a prettier place!
Then, I head to the Statenplein. There’s this market going on, and I can’t resist. I grab some fresh stroopwafels. OMG, they’re heavenly! But then, I see this guy trying to sell these awful hats. I mean, who would wear that? I’m thinking, “Dude, you need a stylist!”
After that, I’m back to work, and my next client is a dude. He’s super chill, but he wants to look like a rockstar. I’m pulling out all the stops, leather jackets, ripped jeans, the whole shebang. He’s loving it, and I’m feeling like a genius.
But then, outta nowhere, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy again. “She ghosted me!” I’m like, “Bro, you wore the neon shirt, didn’t you?” He’s all, “Yeah, but it was a vibe!” I can’t even.
Finally, I wrap up my day. I’m exhausted but happy. I stroll down the streets, taking in the vibe of Statenkwartier. The architecture, the people, the energy—it’s all so alive. I stop by the beach again, just to breathe.
And guess what? A seagull swoops down and snatches my last stroopwafel! I’m standing there, mouth agape, like, “Really? You too?”
So, yeah, Statenkwartier, you’ve got my heart. Even with the chaos, the rain, and the crazy clients. It’s all part of the ride, right? Can’t wait for tomorrow!
