I am back from my petite vacation. Paris has been the highlight of my 3 weeks! They had quality boulangerie, desserts & bonbons, beef & fraise… There were concept shops aplenty, foire à la brocante, quaint window displays, a beautiful language, centuries of culture, great mannerism, people and architecture.
Brocante in St Paul(Le Marais)
Berlin was inspiring with home grown labels(eg: Starstyling) and has amazing food: Currywrust was everywhere and to die for but otherwise, pork, potatoes & apples were staples. This city is a believer of big fluffy pillows, almost a constant in all the hotels I have been and this time we lived in the Michelberger. Lovely and affordable, reinvited from an old factory with interiors styled by movie set designers. Berliners love their stationery, M+R sharpeners and fallbleistift are my picks. This trip have appeared to be lackluster from my previous 2 visits… but it’s still good.
R.S.V.P in Mulackstraße Berlin and its fine curation of stationery.
London for me was bonding over cider, bagels, hummus, home-cooked dinner, tapas, tea… Off my beaten track, I made first visits to the Natural History Museum, with its intriguing taxidermy and brilliant typography found label for exhibits, the Geffrye Musuem, for interiors throughout the century, and the Greenwich market which offered good finds and some nice tea time.
A pretty corner in the Geffrye Musuem.
