Parlez-vous Français?

 

In answer to my post title: no! Maybe two words: merci and au revoir. Does that count as three?

Apologies for not being able to reply to all the comments yet, my work has been super busy and I have a few projects running on the side that have been swallowing up a lot of my free time.

Thanks to a reader, Lena, I came across the menswear label Brooklyn We Go Hard (BWGH), and after googling where I could snap up this sexy jumper, I found it at Soto, which is just down the street from my work and also happens to be one of my favourite shops in Bärlin. If I were a man, which wardrobe-wise I am quickly turning into, I would most likely move in there and Band of Outsiders would become my sleepwear of choice.

Needless to say, my lunchbreak turned into a Soto pit stop, the result of which was this jumper gracing my shoulders.

Neon pumps, a pair of boyfriend jeans (I don't even remember what a pair of normal jeans fits like) and a little bit of collar swag sealed the deal.

I am wearing a BWGH jumper, a vintage shirt, Zara jeans and Christian Louboutin pumps (similar here).

Truthfully

 

Boston was so damn perfect. I just arrived back in Berlin after a long bus ride back to NYC followed by a very interesting cab experience to the airport. I'm still gutted I didn't manage to very quickly squeeze in that final meal of pig trotters and lotus root in China Town. Next time. Being greeted with blossoms and amazing weather makes coming home feel almost like an extended holiday.

I found this ghetto Hermes style bomber in the vintage store Artifaktori I spoke about in my last post. I combined it with the latest addition to my frightening collection of sports jerseys that I found in Bodega, the most insane shop I have ever been to. Imagine entering a small, run-down covenient store with a giant Snapple vending machine, which in reality is an electric door leading to the store itself. Bodega specialises in street-wear and special collaborations such as Nike x Missoni. Thanks America for an amazing time. I'll be seeing you soon.

I am wearing a vintage bomber, a Mark McNairy top, a Henri Bendel necklace, Current/Elliot jeans and Balenciaga boots.

Treasure Hunting in Boston


I've completely fallen head over heels for Boston. The city is incredibly beautiful, very laid back and surprisingly quirky. I've done a lot of thrifting and vintage shopping since I've been here and managed to find some incredible pieces such as this Western shirt and the perfectly worn-in leather jacket you see above. While browsing the vintage store Artifaktori's racks, I met the store's manager Amanda and I couldn't leave before snapping a photo of her and her amazing style. She does vintage tours throughout Boston, writes and photographs for her blog redbirdvintage, likes to hangout with her boyfriend and cats and is on a total other level of coolness. Thank you Amanda for all your insider tips! I will most certainly return to Berlin bankrupt....and very happy.

Conversation Starter

 

The most conversation-starter-friendly cap known to man and the perfect item to run around New York City with. No need to talk, just let your clothes do that for you. I'm now in Boston until Saturday visiting my sister and will be eating buttermilk pancakes in around 5 minutes. I'll leave you with my last impressions of the big bad apple, fully in bloom.

I am wearing a customised vintage Wrangler denim jacket, a Tribe Called Quest jumper, Current/Elliot jeans, Chloé boots, a Givenchy bag and a cap from the Hat Shop in Soho.

 

March of the Penguins

 

Not my skateboard (found it leaning against a wall), not my shoes (Lea's). Unfortunately. But both are awesome. Is it weird that I take great enjoyment in the fact that the soles of the shoes match the wheels?

My kindergarten jumper has not received the seriously high amount of adoration it is due. Penguins, bow ties and pastel colours – how could I not have worn it more often?! My inner child goes into hibernation during the winter months and now that Spring has finally won the battle, it's busting through and making me take out my most childish pieces. Next destination: the playground.

I am wearing an Acne leather jacket, a vintage jumper and shirt underneath, Current/Elliot jeans (similar here and here), Lea's Isabel Marant trainers and a Céline wallet.
