November 2016 Berlin, Germany
With a population of approximately 3,6
million people, Berlin has the most convenient public transportation, holds the
second most populous city proper in the EU. Taking Air Berlin from Helsinki
only takes 2 hours to arrive, and the Hotel Haubach I book is only 5 kilometers
away from the Tegel Airport.
Berlin is known for its numerous cultural
institutions, especially the Museum Island. I bought a Berlin Museum Pass, which
allows each individual visiting more than 60 museums without any admission fee
within 72 hours. Together with the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum, the Bode
Museum, the Pergamon Museum, the Berlin Cathedral and the Lustgarten and the
Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery) make up the Museum Island complex
in Berlin. It is connected to the Pergamon Museum to the north, and to the
other museums to the south. The Building was designed by Friedrich August
Stüler and detailed by Carl Busse, in a style of mixed between late Classicism
and early Neo-Renaissance.
Since travelling alone, I enjoy the highest
quality of solitary. To discover the city by taking U-Bahn and S-Bahn, to study
the map to reach the destination, and to test my instinct to find the proper
delicious food at late night, that’s why I miss my good old solo backpacker
days and I don’t mind to fulfill this experience once again, as my birthday
gift presenting to myself before November 20th. But the most troublesome I
encounter as being a single flyer is, that the lack of the photographer to take
fashion fun pictures of my daily outfit. Very Luckily, at the front gate of
Alte Nationalgalerie, I met this open-minded Brazilian girl from Rio, we chat
and we pitch the slightly sunny moments to help each other nailing the photo
shoots.
The days I stay in Berlin is partly cloudy
and raining, the temperature is around 6-12 degrees, it’s quite perfect to me
since in Helsinki the snow has already piled up to knees high. I pack light, as
I only take ZARA and Samsøesamsøe wool long cardigans, Louis Vuitton midnight
blue/pure black cashmere short cardigans, Equipment and Tsumori Chisato silk
camisoles, 2 pairs of Gina Tricot black high-waist jeans, and only a pair of
MANGO ankle leather boots is good enough for me to walk around the whole
Berlin. Finally, for accessories, I take STELLA McCARTNEY acetate sunglasses,
MIU MIU Madras small leather bag, CHANEL logo crystal earrings, and my proud
purchase at Bicester Village in September, Gucci light grey long monogram scarf.
With size 70x200 cm, it’s practical to wrap around or dangle at the neck, the
material contains 70% wool and 30% silk, is both warm and light at any moment. I
especially love the double-side monogram design, that either way for darker
double G or lighter touch, I can adjust it with any outwear. Accompanying with VIVIENNE WESTWOOD wool scarf, the windy moments are not harsh while walking in the rain. My mix and match
materials are mulberry silk, virgin wool and cotton fabric; while the colour
tone are light pink sunglasses, grey scarf, blue cardigan and black boots,
jeans and leather shoulder bag, and finally, Chanel shining earrings complete
the autumn look.
The Alte Nationalgalerie collects
Neoclassical, Romantic, Niedermeier, Impressionist and early Modernist artworks.
At rainy grey days, let’s have some fashion fun and enjoy the moments of
masterpieces.
