A city that never sleeps (NYC Day & Night)

Tweet

Here's my last post with photos from New York. I spent the last day at MoMA and in Central Park to relax from all the shopping :D
During our stay in NYC, we also spent two evenings with the lovely Alina fom "The Style Socialite". We had dinner and drinks on a rooftop garden with a breathtaking view of the Chrysler and Empire State Building and the other night, we enjoyed some Dim Sum in Chinatown and went clubbing at Marquee.
We also met up with Barblin from "Babo in the City" for drinks at a very cool bar in Chinatown called Apothéke. As you can guess from the name, the interior of the bar looks like an old pharmacy with old medicine bottles lined up behind the counter and the cocktails are made with exotic herbs and fruits. Delicious!
On my last day, I was also lucky to finally meet a "celebrity" - erh, well, no Ed Westwick or Chace Crawford, but at least someone from a US Morning Show ;)
I already miss New York and hope to come back soon!

Let them eat cupcakes!

Tweet As promised, here are some more New York moments. I can't believe how lucky we were to have so many warm and sunny days. And I was happy that I travelled with light luggage, so I was actually forced to go shopping and wear my new purchases right away ;) I snatched the last pair of the black Isabel Marant Dicker boots at Bergdorf Goodman on Sunday and did some serious shopping at Victoria's Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch. But sightseeing was also on our list, so on this sunny day, we took the Staten Island Ferry, watched the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty and then walked past Ground Zero and the protesters on Wall street - I took so many photos there, but the one I picked for this post ironically fits what came next: A trip to the famous Magnolia Bakery I bet most of you know from SATC. We walked all the way from SoHo to Greenwich Village and as you can see it was definitely worth it - although I must admit, that the cupcakes from the Hummingbird Bakery in London are still my favorites :D

Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge

Tweet We had so much fun crossing the Brooklyn Bridge walking towards the skyline of Manhattan. If you ever come to New York and the weather is nice, you just have to do it. It was pretty windy actually, so it was double the fun ;) Today is our last day and right now I'm sitting in Starbucks on Park Avenue writing the last post from the Big Apple :D

I still have so many photos to share with you guys, but for now I have to go - so sad to leave NYC, but also looking forward to coming home :)

Brooklyn

Tweet On Monday, we went to Brooklyn's Bedford Avenue and walked over the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan. I still have to show you the photos from the Brooklyn Bridge, it was so amazing. Brooklyn is an awesome place, very artistic and hip and so close to Manhattan. I bet living here is pretty great...

More from the Big Apple...

Tweet On Sunday, we did some serious shopping on Fifth and Madison Ave :)

The weather is so nice and sunny and it's so much fun to walk around the city. Yesterday, we took so many photos, so a new post is coming up soon. Ciao!

New York state of mind

Tweet

Hallo from New York!

Yesterday afternoon, my friend Valerie and I landed in the Big Apple. Now, we're enjoying one week of sightseeing, meeting friends and shopping. Here's the first look and the first impressions from the city. We walked down Fifth Avenue and had so much fun trying on Halloween masks at Urban Outfitters :D After the shopping tour, we went to have dinner in Little Italy and since we both had a little jetlag, we went straight back to the hotel. I am so excited to be in NYC and there is still so much to do and see. Talk to you soon :)

Miami Horror Concert at the HUGO Store

Tweet

The reason for my little trip to Berlin was a very exciting event at the HUGO Store. On Tuesday night, the Australian band Miami Horror was playing a live gig at the store. The concert was so much fun and I'm now really into their music :)

HUGO has recently started to cooperate with newcomer bands for the creative project HUGO Tracks and if you like music as much as I do then I highly recommend you check out the HUGO Blog on a regular basis with the latest songs, news from the bands and free downloads.

At the concert, I also met Camilla from the Blog Some Kind of Style, who is such a lovely person. It's always great to meet bloggers and followers in real life :)

Quick trip to Berlin

Tweet

Came back from Berlin yesterday. I was in town for a very special event, but before I tell you all about it, I wanted to share this little video tour with you that I made in my room at the Weinmeister hotel. I wish I could have stayed a little longer :)

Not the Jardin des Tuileries, but you get the feeling...

Tweet

Since I couldn't make it to Paris for Fashion Week, the least I could do was try and get the Jardin des Tuileries and Fashion Week feeling in my hometown ;)

Can you believe that these pictures were taken in October?! It's so warm and summery again!

New in!

Tweet Today I went shopping and picked up this jacket at Zara. It's just perfect!

I also cleaned out my closet and updated my sale blog, which you can find here. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend :)
