Fashion Week in Berlin kicked off today–EXCITING! Since I’ve been anxiously waiting 4 months since my arrival, I’m totally pumped to be covering BFW! In true #ALT fashion I wasn’t even going to attend any shows or parties tonight–after all, even though it is opening night, it’s almost better to be too cool to bother going to the mainstream stuff. Instead of making my way down to the defunct airplane hangar playing host to the international trade fair Bread & Butter, I decided to walk around Kreuzberg (read: hipster’s playground) and see what came my way.

It turned out that right around the corner after having a sushi dinner was an awesome photography exhibition party starring the edgy fashion photographer Tea Xuxu Nanuti happening at Galleria Butterfly Summit, a multi purpose gallery & store for design, art and photography.

Took a few snaps, had a few shots, all and all it was a great little warm up for what’s to come this week.

Auf wiedersehen for now my lieblings…

PS. If you guys are tired of using Instagram you should check out EYEEM, a social photo sharing app which I used for the cool effects you see on the photos. & I made the gif on Loopcam, both of which you can download for free. Made in Berlin baby! This city is not just the capital of Germany but it is pretty much the startup capital of Europe right now. On fiyaaaa!

Had this song stuck in my had all day. You’re welcome.

Plank like ‘errrrrrrrry day.

New shoes @ Get Outside. I replaced my white canvas Converse (like those words together) every summer. I love summer.

Went to a beautiful Dermaglow event at the TIFF Lightbox.

The team is fab. Thank you for all the products. I can’t wait to wash my face & moist it in a few mins.

I’m excited for Film Fest this year. If you & your company wanna chat about doing something cool together email TIFF@casiestewart.com. 10 days of pure awesome fun.

Sometimes when Keri & I hang out it’s like, so meta. So funny too. Keri taking photo to blog and me taking her photo & blogging it. Oooh hehe haha. I kill me.

Ate a meat pie. I love meat pies. Wasn’t as good as NZ meat pie though.  Say meat pie again.

Mince meat w/ potato top are my most fav. I also like patio lunches.

Got some jazz in the mail from China I ordered from Etsy. I freaking love Etsy now. I have a bad memory (reason I started this blog) so I forget things often. I didn’t know what was in the package before I opened it. Self gifting FTW.

Keri got mail too. Look how happy.

Tonight I have three events, Steamwhistle, Yelp, Molson Sublime. Excited to see friends. I love summer. Gah!

LIFE’S A BEACH & THIS IS MY LIFE! BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Goodies.

Lauren, Raymi, Anna

Windows 7 presentation (didn’t pay much attention, was busy talking shop aka internet)

Photos. Blogging. Meta.

Food at Windsor Arms – tres fantastique. I indulged.

A fair bit…

Rolled sandwiches – genius!

Got into these too. So yum.

Lookin’ good ladies. Out table was full of cutie pies.

Thanks Jen for the invite. It was lovely to see all the ladies together and gab over high tea. See the whole set of photos from She Does the City on Facebook here.

Ta-ta for now!
