First thing to pop into your eyes are the subway maps of Berlin & Paris on their walls.

From Berlin With Love, wa! (Part 1)

Tachchen.

So I arrived in Berlin after having no sleep the night before, because we had to celebrate our first win of the season, and went with Simon, who now lives in Berlin, diiiiiirectly on the Touristenverarsche-Tour and to the Kurt Krömer Benefizgala in the evening.

On Monday, we made our way downtown again, but this time to check out some stores.

That’s the front. Unfortunately, it was already dark.

5181501338 bcbb8307e9 From Berlin With Love, wa! (Part 1)

The atmosphere in the store was cool and very laid-back, so you can feel really comfortable there.

You can also get some Japanese magazines there, while I got myself a new Stüssy beanie. And no, they don’t make ‘Gas-/Wasserinstallationen’, if some krayzie person on the street should tell you that LOL.

5180902739 19606824ef From Berlin With Love, wa! (Part 1)

Simon also found this book called ‘Take Ivy’ that contains photographs of men and their clothes shot on the Ivy campuses. It was originally published in Japan in 1965 and started the “Ivy Style” fashion among students in Tokyo. And as Simon told me not much has changed on the campuses fashionwise in all those years. And if somebody should know about that, it’s him, but I won’t drop the H-bomb now. :)

It went dowwwwwn…

So, this is my first post after we got back from New York and Boston. We had a great time, even though we only spent a couple of days in those cities. Part of it was shopping like mad krayzie (and after it getting lost in Harlem, but that’s another story…). The first thing I did after our arrival (and a night without sleep at the airport) was to put all this stuff on my bed. Maaaaan, I do like it!!! And big shout outs to German Customs, that were not present at the airport when we arrived. ;-)

dsc03992 1024x768 It went dowwwwwn...

I will highlight some things during the next days.

The Karmaloop Store

Hey to raise further awareness of the new destination of the Karmaloop Store I wanted to upload this post before everything else. The Karmaloop store is NOT on 160 Newbury anymore!!

img 30521 The Karmaloop Store

They got kicked out by the landlord just before we went to Boston and are now located at 331 Newbury.


And I already expected something like this haha =).
