I also took my Lomo camera to Berlin and it was quite a lovely to carry a camera around that was so light! I took my Lomo Diana F+ with an old 120 mm film I thrifted. I like how these pictures capture Berlin in a completely different way.
The first photo is my favorite, it’s the Hay store window display and through the glass you also see the building across the street.
Warning! To read this post, one must be able to imagine the vibrant neon colours yourself! (neon is such a bitch to photograph*)
Of course Berlin meant lots of walking around and also a wee bit of shopping! I finally got the beautiful Hay archive folder, which is so beautiful when you fold it open that I seriously doubt whether I’ll actually ever use it for storage. 
I also found the sweetest Little Elephant cup for Mini and some chocolates with awesome packaging. And of course there were also magazines and art books that simply had to be bought over at Do You Read Me?! Such a great trip and great finds too!

My Berlin trip with Anki, Cris, Iris, Marlous and Philomeen was like a little present that I didn’t expected to get (christmas is still a long way down the road). We had such a lovely time walking around Berlin and just taking it all in. The city has so many faces from stately to graffiti and back again, just beautiful!
Berlin was like the best host we could have asked for, we had great food, good cocktails, we laughed our asses off and ended up with some great/funny/good/hilarious memories.
And some cool stuff too, but that’s for later!

Tomorrow I’m leaving for a couple of days Berlin with some pretty awesome blogfriends. I’m super excited to go! Mostly because Berlin is definitely one of my favorite cities I’ve visited so far.
The photo above is from my last trip to Berlin, when I visited the beautiful museum of modern art the Hamburger Bahnhof which is literally in the old railway station. And last time I actually saw Yoko Ono there!
I guess that after this weekend there are going to be quite a lot of Berlin Blogposts so check out: Anki, Cristian, Iris, Marlous and Philomeen for more Berlin goodness. Especially check out this hilarious post of Philomeen, she turned our little group into lego figures and even matched the lego’s hair colours to ours!
Though Autumn has fully started here in the Netherlands, we played a little trick on Autumn and hopped over to Sardinia for a much needed holiday. The boyfriend, Mini and me had a blast. Great weather, great beaches, a lot of old stuff to visit (I really am a sucker for nifty archeological finds) and the colours! Not only the sea and the sky were the deepest blue, but the houses too were bold and colourful in pinks, blues, greens and even lilacs. This is what I saw…
And finally a thing rarely seen here, a picture of me having fun in the waves. This happened to be one of the few times I wasn’t holding the camera (wouldn’t have been a very good idea if I had!)

Light-years ago we went on a trip to Berlin. One thing I was particularly looking forward to was the hotel. We stayed at the Michelberger Hotel in East Berlin and just by looking at the site I wandered if I was even cool enough to stay there. It turned out to be an amazing place. What was the most amazing you ask? The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel! Whether it was de cool key card for our room or the custom designed wallpaper. Everything had such great detail and a lot of humour was incorporated everywhere. The thing that really impressed us the most was de 24/7 TV channel that aired nothing but The Big Lebowski. I just couldn’t believe that when I woke up, “The Dude” would still be there!
Here are some pictures of our room and cool Michelberger-stuff. (Some of the pictures are rather dark and blurry, we arrived in the evening and I took pictures straight away. Come morning, we had already messed the place up so much that pictures where out of the question!)
I’m heading to Berlin for a couple of days! Can’t wait to spend some time in this amazing city and celebrate my big B-day every so slightly… 
See you soon!
