Berlin Inspires // City Guide – Summer Edition

Berlin in summer is a must. Once the city awakes from its winter hibernation, it is more vibrant and intoxicating than ever before: cozy summer spots on lakes or in the park, inspiring museums and galleries, new and trendy places for lunch & dinner, or night clubs where you can party until dawn – Berlin is the whole world in a single city.



Out now, the Berlin Inspires City Guide Summer Edition shows every facet of summer in Berlin. Apart from hot newcomer places and Berlin classics, it has interviews with locals who reveal their personal “hidden champions.”

Bread & Butter 2013 // Berlin // ReCap

I'm back from Berlin for more than a week now, and still didn't manage it to post some pictures on here.

The "Bread & Butter" was crazy. Busy. Exhausting. It was a wonderful experience, but those 3 days plus all the stress that was waiting for me back at the office, made me officially ready for 24 hours of sleep. Straight.

I took a few pics at the convention. I will stop writing now, and let the photos do the rest:

Berlin

I've spent the whole weekend in Berlin.

Fashion week was awesome!

But I also did some sightseeing and celebrated one of my best friends 40 birthday at the nhow hotel Saturday night.

I had a blast!

But I'm happy to be back home anyway ;o) - Anni and Berlin will never be good friends I guess!

Berlin

On my way to Berlin

This train ride is sooooooo boring... But I'm less than 1 hour I will be in Berlin. Finally!

I took a book I'm trying to finish for months now...

But it's so hard since I don't like it at all! Everybody is like "wow, long way down is a great book!" but I don't like any of the characters plus they are pretty annoying. Here goes my problem: I can't start reading a book and them just stop and never touch it again if I didn't finish it. Guess that's the Mr Monk inside of me.
So I'm taking this challenge, read page after page and just want it to be over so I can finally start a new one.
One I like.

My traveling outfit? Here we go:
- my fave leather boots // hallhuber
- gray leggings // Tally weijl
- black jersey skirt // H&M
- gray shirt // H&M
- striped cardigan // vero moda
- scarf // latest H&M fashion against aids collection

Shopping // Bag packing // BERLIN

Howdy!!

Just a quick post to show you what I´ve bought downtown today.... It´s getting colder and colder over here. Gray rocks! So here we go:

Tomorrow morning I´ll leave for Berlin. I´ll just stay 24 hrs but I hope I can take a few pics to show you guys. I visit my friend; she´s gonna have her house warming plus early bday party :) I don´t really like Berlin, but I´m looking forward to spend time with my friend! Oh AND: what a coincidence! My brother is gonna be there, too! He´s visiting his girlfriend who´s staying in Berlin for 3 months. So I´ll meet them, too. It´s kinda crazy - I live in southern germany, my brother in the wild west... and we all meet in Berlin :)
The only part about Berlin that I like? The bands & their music! Here goes a lil video (or2):
