Mulackstrasse became over the years my Nr.1 spot when it comes to shopping in Berlin Mitte. It’s surprisingly quiet and less touristic. I love it for the awesome line up of nice and original shops, such as the really cool vintage store “DAS NEUE SCHWARZ”. You will find a great selection of vintage treasures from Isabel Marant, Martin Margiela, Helmut Lang, Bless, Wood Wood … plus really cool decoration and a great atmosphere.

What a great weekend!
It’s officially Spring, the sun is shining and my friend Hanna turned 30th and throw a wonderful party.
A very Swedish one! … and let’s not talk about the singing and the snaps, I’m still suffering recovering!
Lately I’ve been crusing Berlin, to discover and capture new places for my new city guide NotQuiteBerlin. Next week I’ll share some more!

This has been one of the most decadent and original detail in an urban environment that I’ve came across for a loooong time. I love it!

Today I have bought this very cute and inspirational Ikea Family book, which has been styled by the creative girls Caroline & Sofie from Lokal 54. The book is loaded with plenty of adorable table decoration ideas for any occasion. What a good idea to add some recipes and the sweet postcards in the back of the book. Hello – look what I have found … my name on a pot!

After all the shopping in the creative Bermuda triangle of Rue Custine, you shouldn’t continue your Paris tour without a lunch at the wine shop “La Cave du Nansouty”. Great food, good wine and a very sympathetic waiter makes this little tour in the 18th arrondissement complete. All the three shops share a great sense of humor and a passion for the unexpected! Enjoy!

There is no trip to Paris without a quick stop at the “World’s first Atypyk store”. It’s always so much fun to discover new products and ideas. Since the Les Mauvaises Graines store has moved into the neighborhood it’s double worth it to discover the area on the bottom of Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre.

My passion for concept stores took me all the way to the less touristic part of Montmartre in Paris.
The urban gardening store Les Mauvaises Graines is a really cool and original place, run by two very sympathetic guys, who turned out to be the neighbors and lunch-mates of the Atypyk boys. What a nice surprise! We had a good lunch all together and I’ve been so happy about the new discovery.
