My Fashionable Life
Mary Scherpe
Founder of Stilinberlin.com, the city’s top fashion blog.

I SHOP AT Best Shop (6 Alte Schönhauser Strasse). Up-andcoming designers present their streetwear here.

I EAT AT Bandol sur Mer (167 Torstrasse). It serves the best entrecôte in Berlin and seats only 20 people.

I PARTY AT Picknick (90 Dorotheenstrasse). Features indy pop and twisted electro.

Don’t miss

Look out for hot new designs from Joop!, Zac Posen and Unrath & Strano.
