Window Shopping in Berlin

Ich bin ein Berliner.... This phrase took on another level of meaning as I toured Berlin last week. It felt like I was home.  Rich in history and packed with artistic and historical treasures, this city has a vibe that is young, modern and friendly. It was like being in Paris but without the attitude.

One thing I love to do is window shop and the windows of Berlin's couture shops did not disappoint. Like Paris, the prices are posted discretely within the window, giving you immediate feedback as to whether or not you can afford to go inside.

In Berlin, it was the cool, architectural vibe of the clothes that grabbed me. Sleek, streamlined silhouettes, it is the look that defines much of my closet....

Sorry I've been out of touch for a few days. I hope you had a brilliant time. It certainly looks as though you did. I've never been to Berlin, but your description rings true with others I've heard about it. Sounds like my kind of place!

I so love being in Berlin. Planning a visit next week.
Window shopping in Berlin is such a treat. Quite unlike Paris, but quite unique. Jil Sander knows how to dress windows;-)
Warmly hope you had a grand time in Berlin.xx

I adore the Prada window, the mannequins look as though they have somewhere very specific to head to, which makes me rather curious. I hope Ingrid, you managed to leave the street and enter into what's behind these gorgeous windows.
