Lovely Freebies from (capsule)

Every fashion tradeshow has some lovely freebies, from the free cakes sampled yesterday, to printed tote bags to carry heavy trend books, shows have it all.

This morning however, a visit to (capsule) resulted in returning to the hotel armed with free magazines, trend bibles, 3 bars of green and blacks chocolate and a tin of sardines. Not what I was expecting from fashion week, but I'm really looking forward to fashion sardines on toast when I get back home!

Show and Order

First trade show of the week was the stunning Show and Order. Located in a semi converted power station, Show offered a fascinating collection of women's, men's, jewellery, dog and hat designs...little something for everyone!

Immensely enjoyed all of the freebies too, mini cupcakes courtesy of Pastry, lots of cool tote bags and beautiful look books :) there're will be follow up posts on individual brands very soon! Right now it's time for bed!

BFW Day One

Early early start after a full day at work did not go well. Currently on 4 hours sleep and ready to pass out, hence why it is 9pm, I'm in my fleecy pyjamas and ready for bed.

Today, despite two busses and a plane, has been just gorgeous. Berlin in the snow is lovely :) you do however need at least 2 pairs of thermal leggings on to ensure your legs don't drop off.

First afternoon included a walk to the Brandenberg Gate, a Bratwurst sausage, and kangaroo salad for tea :)

Me and Beth stumbled across the lovely Lego giraffe in Potsdamer platz too. A very unfashiony day, especially in these socks, but welcome relax after a night of no sleep. Bring on the shows tomorrow!!

6 Days to Go

The weather in Berlin next week is cold. Very very cold. Highs of -3 degrees on our first proper day there! Thermals, snow boots and MASSIVE fur coats will most definitely be crammed into my suitcase.

In preparation however, I have been downloading apps to ease my week with regards to travel and shops! From this app, one shop has caught my creative eye! Oddly named 'who killed bambi?' It promises to offer one off pieces, on trend garments and unique twists. Definitely one to visit!
