BERLIN pt.3; WALKING AROUND X-BERG AND THEN HOME



I bought a couple of vintage dresses, this is one of them.

And Eddi bought a pair of vintage shoes. From Made in Berlin/Kledermarkt. (I liked the one on Friedrichstraße better, although I suppose the one on Neuer Schönhauser Str. is "cooler").



Contrasts.

Cola.

Nice sunset when flying home over the archipelago.

And I spotted a heart-shaped cloud!

BERLIN pt.2; MOSTLY MITTE

(Random window stuff.)

I met up with Frollein von Sofa for lunch and then we stopped by the boutique she works in.


They sell items form a couple of designers but you can get her hats there too! Apart from the accessories I liked their mens' clothing the most. (Here.)



Frollein's dog Woody is a really good poser.


Mirror shot-1.



Eddi and I stopped for random beers at a courtyard on Oranienburger Strasse. There was an kind of outdoor gallery/exhibition around the corner too. All rather hippie-ish and full of curious tourists.



Quite the contrast to another courtyard a bit further down the street - green and calm like in a little town. We had some wine by the fountain there.


And visited Sterling Gold, a vintage gown paradise that recommended by Frollein von Sofa. Not exactly for everyday shopping though, mostly eye candy.

We went for dinner and ended up at Cafe V by Lausitzer Platz back in Kreutzberg - great food, worth a visit. But as I have no pictures of that this mirror-shot 2 (why does one take pictures like this and why does one also force poor boyfriend into it?) will have to do.

BERLIN pt.1; IN A RATHER RAINY BERLIN

In Kreuzerg. I've always stayed in Kreuzberg when in Berlin, since my friends live there.



Dinner at Izu's place. She moved to Berlin a couple of years ago. She's a painter and just had her first solo exhibition over there, still running for a couple of days from now. (Here.)


Getting blurry at Maria Pelegro later on.


Vegan burgers for breakfast the day after. (Here.)


This litte birdie ate out of my hand. I know some find that disgusting but I find it cute.


And look! I was actually wearing flats. Hell might have frozen over a little bit or so...


Hiding from the rain, Kreutzberg edition. (Here.)



In Prenzlauer Berg.


Waffles at Kauf Dich Glücklih. There are two of them, one on Oderberger Str. and another on Kastanien Allee. You can shop at the later one too.


Hiding from the rain, Prenzlauer Berg edition.


Hell froze over again! Eddi actually did more shopping than I! (Well, I actually did none the first days so he didn't really go that bazookas either.)


Back in Kreutzberg.
