While we stayed only a couple of days over the weekend, it was a rather nice and memorable trip.
6 minutes before we boarded the plane, we read news of the shootings in Munich and I was honestly a little worried. Nonetheless, Berlin turned out to be a nice little town and the people are friendly. I love the architecture in Berlin. On the first day, we cycled around the city, visiting castles and eating wild blackberries from the bushes. Germany has a really rich history, but it's tinged with sadness too.
Had curry wurst for dinner ; a dish James had been raving about. We had some difficulties finding our hostel as the street signs were written in old German and their 's's looked like 'f's. So, Wasselstraße ended up looking like Waffel street at first glance.
On day 2, we checked out of our hostel at the latest time possible but were still too early for the lolita event. We ended up roaming around Spandau Zitadelle, doing our own little photoshoot. The fort is really pretty. James agreed to dress up with me for the event and I was really thankful that he agreed to put up with the thick jacket and all in that sunny weather. His coord is fully from Fanplusfriend + shoes from Singapore. Here's a breakdown of my coord:
OP : BTSSB La Robe Vert Clair
Necklace : BTSSB
Gloves : F+F
Parasol : Innocent World (was elated to get this retractable version in Japan which fits in my luggage!)
Leggings : Metamorphose
Hat & Shoes : Taobao
The event felt rather cosy, and a little less lavish compared to the HK lolita event (considering the restaurant buffet spread at the HK event). However, there were definitely a lot more shops featured. There was a catwalk show by BTSSB and some indie designers. I really liked the last two dresses and an Ouji outfit featured in the BTSSB catwalk but couldn't really catch the names of them. Managed to meet up with Jazlyn as well =) Unfortunately, we didn't manage to stay throughout the entire event as we had to catch our plane. After all my purchases in Japan, I decided not to splurge at the Urban Fairytale event afterall.
Hoping to pop by other lolita events while I'm in Europe. Will be meeting some lolitas in Luzern this weekend. I'm really excited! Will update when the time comes, till then!
