Holiday 2011 - Day Six

We changed again our location and went to Berlin. I was there several times, but only for some hours. Our hotel was not so nice as the last one, but okay. First we visited the KaDeWe. This store is really huge and expensive. I think this was the first time I saw a real Chanel dress (and even touched it). Fortunately even expensive stores have sales, so I could buy myself a silk scarf with a nice flower and bird motif and a scarf for my Mom. I also got some tea, wich they do not sell anymore at home.

Afterwards we did a little sight-seeing. My boyfriend wanted to see the inside of the Ritz-Carlton hotel. I have to say it is impressive, but I am not sure if I want to stay there. We also went to the Alexander Platz and did a little more shopping. I wanted some shoes to wear to the museum the next day.

Holiday 2011 - Day Five

Finally we were at the fashion museum, our main reason to go to Meyenburg. It´s a private collection. The owner has many fashion objects and accessories from the 1900s to the 1970s. It was very interesting to see the change of style trough the decades on real things.

There was also shop with vintage clothing and accessories, but the prices were not my range. But I bought some nice pearls earrings. They have a little defect, but I think I can repair this. If you have the opportunity to visit this museum, do it. It´s really fascinating and quite charming.

For the occasion I wore my 40s dress. I made this for our trip to the opera two weeks ago. It´s a homage to the BBQ dress of Scarlett O´Hara. It´s my favorite dress from the movie.

I paired it with my vintage flower hat and added some red. I plan to make a green belt to make it more like "Gone with the wind". The belt, bag and shoes are also vintage.

Holiday 2011 - Day Four

Bye, bye Baltic Sea

hello Meyenburg

Meyenburg is a little city in Brandenburg. Here is a little castle with a fashion museum. Our hotel was really great. The rooms were so nice and comfortable and the food is so good. I could have stayed here only for the hotel. And the hotel was only a little distance from the museum.

In the afternoon we walked a bit in the park and took photos. I wore my 40s (house) dress. This too I finished right before our holiday. The weather was a dream. It was sunny and warm. I was a bit sad that we had to leave the seaside when there was the first warm day, but it was worth it for the hotel.

Holiday 2011 - Day Three

The weather was really nasty. It was cold and it rained a lot. But we were at the beach for some time. I wore my 30s beach pajama by Wearing History patterns. I made finished it the day before we went. Sewing it was not very difficult. And I really like the fabric. I got it for in the sale for only 3 EUR/m. It was much fun to stroll at the beach in this outfit. The sand was so nice and soft.

It´s sad that all the things you can visit here are very expensive. So we stayed indoors most of the day. My boyfriend made a segway tour. And we took a long walk at the beach and in the city. There was a huge shoe sale, but only my boyfriend bought some shoes. If it was not for the weather it was a nice day.

Holiday 2011 - Day Two

The weather was not better this day. So we went to the house that is upside down. It was advertised as a good place to make photos. The inside was very cool, but there were so many people that it was not so much fun. This was a general problem here. Everywhere were too many people.

We did take some pictures in and outside of the house. And we had quite some fun with the giant ant.

In the afternoon we visited the beach. It was a bit cold, so we didn´t stay there long. But I really liked the view of the ocean. It´s very impressive.

I wore my new vintage hat. It came right for the holiday. I really love this hat. You can wear this with many outfits. The rest of my clothes was quite new. The sun was unfortunately not impressed by my bright colors.

Holiday 2011 - Day One

Wednesday we started our holiday trip. First station was Ahlbeck at the Baltic Sea.

Our way was very relaxed. We were there really fast and without many problems. Our appartment was okay. Nothing fancy, but enough for the price.

After the arrival we bought some food nearby.

The rest of the day we relaxed. The weather was not very nice unfortunately, so we couldn´t go to the beach.

Shopping Trip

I went for a little shopping trip to buy some things for our holiday. First some fabric for these two cuties:





I hope to finish them till tomorrow.

Then I was at H&M to buy some underwear and maybe a cardigan. They had a huge sale and as you can see I got no cardigan.










The jacket and the bag I already admired when they were new. But almost 50 EUR for the jacket were way too much. Now they are mine. The top is a good basic. Then I also bought a brown belt and at least some underwear.
