Bikini Berlin

Bikini Berlin is a shopping center of another kind, a so-called concept mall. It features young, independent, critically chosen brands who should suit customers who are longing for a different experience from high-street brands. The salesrooms predominantly offer fashion and design items as well as some cafés and bars. The Bikini Berlin boxes are twenty shops that can be rented for the maximum duration of one year, in order to surprise the customer with a new experience every once in a while. Brands who are brave and flexible enough are welcome to test new retail concepts for a comparatively short period. Parker – IQ Berlin Jeans – Noisy May Shoes – H&M Blouse – Zara

Drinks in Berlin: Monkey Berlin

The Monkey Bar is another hotspot situated in the west of Berlin. It has a gorgeous view through all it’s wide glass windows and is aptly named “Monkey Bar”, since you are able to observe the monkeys of the Berlin Zoo from up there. The Monkey bar serves delicious drinks (try the Gin Basil Smash or the homemade lemonade) and some bar snacks like sweet potato fries or Caesar salad. However, here’s a fair warning: the Monkey Bar has been recommended in many travel guides thus it tends to be really crowded on weekends and nights in general. So either decide to go early or schedule a bit of waiting time – the view and atmosphere is worth it.

Eugene Onegin

We both are hopeless lovers of classical Ballet and try to see a performance whenever we get the opportunity. Recently, we saw the interpretation of “Onegin” by the Berliner Staatsballett (choreography by John Cranko) and we both agreed that it was one of the best performances we ever saw in Berlin. The characters were very well danced and also played with an expressiveness that has been unmatched so far. As far as we know there is still another performance taking place in April, so if you are interested in dancing, we can only warmly recommend not to miss it.

Pale Pink Trench Coat

Sometimes, a comfy boyfriend jeans and a nice pastel trench coat (this one is from Mint&Berry) is all you need for a perfect spring time outfit. And besides that: this trench coat is perfect for an Easter stroll on a nice sunny day. Trenchcoat – Mint&Berry Jeans – Zara Sunglasses – D&G Jewelry – Sense Copenhagen Shirt – Massimo Dutti

A day at the museum

A sunny day in Berlin’s museum district but still with a little chill due to low temperatures. We are longing for summer now! If you visit Berlin make sure to head to the Gemäldegalerie. Its one of those calm places where you can enjoy a lovely morning. Best time to visit? Tuesday morning around 10am – much more relaxed than other big museums in Europe.

Coffee in Berlin: Café Neundrei

A couple of days ago I attended the opening of the Café Neundrei a place where you will find delicious coffee and vegan treats. Since more people are becoming aware of their daily nutrition we love to share this location with you. For your coffee you can choose between normal milk, soya milk, lactose-free milk and almond milk (coasting 50cents extra). Also, next to the normal coffee treats, you will be able to find Matcha Latte (€ 3.80), Chai Latte (€ 3.20) and some Superfood Smoothies (€ 4.50). Along with a delicious coffee you should definitely enjoy a vegan bread with fresh filling such as avocado, spinach leaves and cress (starting at € 3.90). Also their vegan apple cake or their banana bread is worth a try – a freshly baked by themselves.

Porcelain Flower Dress

Home sweet home. There is no place like Berlin and no better thing than being home for a few days to spend quality time with my favorite blog partner. Some days ago, we finally managed to visit the Mario Testing “In Your Face” exhibition in Berlin. Mario Testino is definitely the pop star of fashion photography and his shots always capture extraordinary moments in the sparkling world of celebrities.

Superfoods

Nowadays, healthy food has become a trend. You are overwhelmed by the media with buzzwords like “detox”, “superfood”, “gluten free” or “vegan”. However, what does this even mean? And how to find the right balance in your life when it comes to food? Because, in my opinion, it’s all about balance. You’ll never be happy in life without a little treat sometimes and without a cheat day during your week. Sticking to a strict diet plan is not only unhealthy, it can also lead to serious eating disorders. With this post, we do not want to tell you what is right or wrong in eating – we are surely no experts in the field. We just informed ourselves a little about those so-called superfoods and wanted to share the knowledge with you. So, what is superfood? Superfood first of all is a marketing term, created to promote healthy food. However, there is something true about the term: superfood basically describes food that contains much nutrition thus is supposed to be good for your body. Nevertheless, eating as …

Takeaway in Werder (Havel): Rostbratwurstgrill

This is probably not your typical go-to place but the burgers taste delicious which is why we would like to recommend this takeaway place.

Coffee in Amsterdam: Papeneiland

I am just gonna say it: Café Papeneiland serves (in my opinion) the best apple pie in the whole world. I have never tried any comparable apple pie in my life. The café is the most earthy and comfy place I know in Amsterdam so far and it is perfect to spend a sunny day, watching the boats running through the canals, drinking coffee and chatting with your friends.
