MY BERLIN DIARY + Behind The Scene of #TOPOFTHEBLOGS
•••
Berlin was the destination for the chosen ones: Matthias
Geerts, Elien Migalski, Sophie Ismail and Me. The 4 most stylish Belgian
fashion bloggers on a flight to the Zalando headquarters for a professional
photo shoot with the creative team of Zalando. Super cool people for the record.
DAY 1: Berlin By Night
At our arrival at the Berlin Airport our designated driver drove us to our hotel first , where we got to meet Meike from Zalando. Once we arrived at our hotel, The Weinmeister Hotel in Berlin Mitte, we left our bags and went straight to the city to explore B-Town. Because Berlin has a lot to offer.
DAY 2: SHOOTING DAY + BERLIN BY DAY
After a good night rest I was ready for the big shoot. My king size bed was very good to me if you must know. I woke up on time and put on my outfit of the day. Which was a simple black & white outfit with my favorite Raf Simons vintage trouser from 1999. And since the Belgian airport security had taken all of my liquid stuff ( deodorant, hair products, body lotion ) I was afraid my hair would lack of fleekness, but NO. The Weinmeister hotel had everything for a young Afro-haired boy. GO GO WEINMEISTER, you saved my day.

| My Zalando-Selfie Wall of Fame |
In the ME Collectors Room there was a big exhibition going on, besides the coffee room they had. Until 30.08.2015 you can visit their exhibition: Queensize – Female Artists from the Olbricht Collection. With close to 60 artists, the exhibition
represents a third of all women artists featured in the collection.
ROOM #2: The WUNDERKAMMER Olbricht
The quality of the objects, numbering in excess of 200 from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, is unique and makes the Wunderkammer Olbricht one of the most important private collections of its kind. It's in this part of the art-exhibition that I met the wunderbar Isabelle. As we caught each others eyes at the entrance, we couldn't resist art-seeing together. After that we went eating a burger and drank a beer at Shisho Burger, not far from the exhibition still on the Auguststraße.
