Ich Liebe Dich: My Berlin

-
 

There's no doubt Marlene Dietrich had a soft spot for Berlin.

As a matter of fact, even after she moved to Hollywood, she's never forgotten that she was ein Deutsche frau.

She once said:
“Ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin.” 
Which means:
"I still have a suitcase in Berlin". 
She's never really left Germany; she flew it because she was against the Nazi regime. But she never really wanted to live in Hollywood. Well, and I can't blame her.
Last August I finally re-visited Berlin, almost twenty years after my first visit to the city. This time experience was nothing in comparison to the one I had, when I was a teenager, sightseeing the city with my parents...

Seriously, how can you NOT fall in love with the modern, progressive, hip, artistic, Bohemian city with so much diversity - from the many fashion styles to the many cuisine choices?


This is why I fell in love...more on what I've discovered in Berlin here.

Ah, the cool footwear they have... [mind the fact, it's relatively expensive, taken that it's by up-and-coming shoe designers]. The footwear by Trippen.


Ah, the artsy Berlin...
Ah, the sexy German women...

Ah, The Bauhaus...

Ah, the Berlin's sweet potato soup with dark rye bread...

Ah, the Berlin bikers...

Ah, liebe, liebe, liebe...

Ah, a chicken salad the Berlin way...@ Bar 103

Ah, the history...
Ah, the graffiti...

Ah, the street fashion...
 

Ah, the Berlin's meatball!...

Ah, the open cafes that look like your apartment building's front-yard...

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:
