The little cafe Fleury at Weinbergsweg has been around for a while. But it only got to my attention when I moved to the Prenzlauer Berg - Mitte area last summer. Since then it has become one of my favorite places to have cake and coffee or breakfast. They really have one of the best breakfasts that you can get (for under 10 EUR). It’s my absolute standard. And in the summer (dreaming of it right now…) I love to get a rhubarb tarte and rhubarb spritzer and enjoy it on a blanket at the Weinbergspark around the corner (you could totally paint an impressionist picture of that…). Impressions and details after the jump.

While Indian Cobras are dying because of polluted water, Berlin is expecting a generous amount of snakes this week. Yes! Berlin Fashion Week is coming again and I guess you are all dying for the little guestlist places at the upcoming events. How to survive the poisonous looks and the evil remarks about your outfit which is always last season no matter what you do? Well I got myself an evil looking but sweet as honey bodyguard and some toxic outfits myself. If you prefer a more peaceful yet trendy way, I recommend you take a look at the Yoga collection from the new upcoming Berlin-based label Umasan. For more lookbook pictures and informations about their flagship store opening after the jump.

Oh, don’t you just love it, when something pops up? Like a message on Skype by someone you care for, or an ad in your browser that says you just won an iPhone, or an opportunity to make out with someone hot, or… the possibilities are endless.
In the case of this little story we are talking about the popping up of a temporary store, specifically one that sells Original Penguin clothing, hence its name: The Original Penguin Pop-up Store. Hurray! It will pop open its dolly little doors this Saturday at 18h next to/withinside the freshly opened Trüffelschwein menswear store at Rose-Luxemburg-Strasse that has recently moved into a new bigger place across the street and is therefore also worth a visit. Pop by for drinks and music and some silly handclapping! The invite after the jump.

“Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten” is a German proverb meaning “you better stick to what you’re best at”. In the case of this fine boutique at Rosenthaler Platz it is definately selecting cool brands and great shoes for our consuming pleasure. Hurrah! I have been walking past (and into) Shusta now quite frequently since it’s opening earlier this year. For some reason I never came around writing about it. But since a friend of mine bought this fabulous backpack there it popped back into my conscience and now up on this blog. Hurray! Brands featured in their selection include Royal RepubliQ, Striipe, Keds, Schmoove, Dico, Atelier do Sapato, as well as the bags of Waste and many more. The best thing, you can order everything online in their webshop. Yeay! More images and details after the shoe lace.

Two weeks ago Mercedes and I went to a welcome party of the brand new Amano Hotel at Auguststrasse corner of Rosenthaler. At the entrance we were greated with a handful of condomes which pretty much suited the theme “One Night Stand”. The invite came along with a little creative challange where we were supposed to write a sexy little story about who we would like to spent a night with in that hotel and what we would be doing. The 10 best stories would get a room on that evening to spend the night. Our impressions after the jump.

If you’ve been wondering what to do with that old pair of pumps you’ve worn just over 20,000 times and still can’t bear to throw away or how you wish your boring black pumps could magically give themselves a make-over, then click your heels because you’re in luck! The AVR Shop in Mitte will curate an installation made from worn and new pumps and they need your help! Point your heels after the jump for more details.

This Thursday, Filippa K and Stil in Berlin invite you to work it, flaunt it and own it! In celebration of their autumn collection you’re invited to drop by, style your look with selected pieces from Filippa’s K latest autumn collection and your own clothes and accessories, say cheese and if you make it to the top three with the most innovative styles, then you’ll get to keep it! And if not, fret not, stick around, strike a pose, pucker up and cam-whore for Dario. (We know you want to…) The hottest looks will get shot and featured. Details after the pose.

Two days ago I received an email that shocked me. The Belleville in Mitte which carries labels like Rozab del Mura, Bo Van Melskens, airbag and FIN among others is closing down. Having moved in there for a month in June during SUKA SUKA, I felt a * Thud * as I read Fredericke’s email.
Call it what you want and blame it on the rain or the ‘Financial Crisis’, the debateable bad location, or a store that after 5 years, simply wasn’t able to keep the Benjamin’s flowing, that jet-black bird is taking off (if you’ve been to the store, you’ll know what I mean). So starting September 1st til the 30th a ‘Last Days Clearance Sale‘ on pretty much everything in the store, allows you the chance to shop while you pay your last respects. As long as it doesn’t hold up the foundations of the store, then it’s for sale. Bye-bye Belleville, you’ll be missed. Details after the click.

Some of you might know the iconic illustrations of Dutch artist and designer Parra from his limited edition shirts and hoodies by Rockwell. This Thursday he will open his first solo show in Berlin at Pool Gallery in Mitte. If you prefer the t-shirts over his paintings you should drop by his pop-up shop at Wood Wood that will be open for the length of the exhibition starting this Saturday. The details after the jump.
