I ran out of time to go to Oska. A few things I'd liked online from COS didn't really fit in person, and another sweater&nbsp;seemed too expensive for an impulse buy. I might swing back by there later, but today is museums and such.</p> <p>I'm sad that my guy isn't taking the opportunity to find cool Euro clothes. He's very slim and European men's clothing is cut much better for him. Plus much more stylish, and I know he cares about that. He doesn't have patience for shopping, but he cares about clothes.</p> <p>Today's wardrobe realization: I really should have brought my converse. I can walk in them all day.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1372745 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:12:19 +0000 Ornella 1372745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's 22h and I expect you scored something today... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1372701 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 18:41:09 +0000 Astrid 1372701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1372688 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 18:27:17 +0000 Sveta 1372688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1372524 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 13:09:48 +0000 bj1111 1372524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shopping is anthropological...just sayin' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1372520 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:54:41 +0000 Greyscale 1372520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. I just finally put all these places on a map and realized our hotel is a few blocks from COS, Trippen, OSKA, and everywhere else I want to shop. Boyfriend and I agree that shopping will be&nbsp;this afternoon's activity as soon as we arrive,&nbsp;because that will leave the rest of our trip for more cultural experiences. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1372517 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:51:22 +0000 Greyscale 1372517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the train from Heidelberg to Berlin. Thanks for all the advice and ideas!</p> <p>So far: yes, I definitely definitely brought one or even two&nbsp;more jeans than I need. Also, my straight-leg jeans are too tight to zip right now. I don't know how that happened. And I should have left the leather jacket at home. The denim jacket is so great for travel because I can shove it under a plane seat or whatever without trouble.</p> <p>Shoes - very happy that I brought three, but my new flats are causing some weird problems with my toes / ball of foot. So I'll be wearing the boots - which have supportive insoles - a lot now that the professional part is done.</p> <p>I love Trippen shoes! I am definitely going to the store in Berlin! There's one boutique in San Francisco that carries them but they are out of my price range. I'm sure the selection is much bigger at the Berlin flagship store.&nbsp;I will look at them anyway in case I fall in love with something.</p> <p>And my wallet is Liebeskind - I should check their store for a small purse. I've been searching for something light and minimal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1371569 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 23:06:03 +0000 rachylou 1371569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You seem pretty set to me, altho I admit that seems like a lot of jeans to me. Jeans are heavy.

I think for boots it depends on your feet. I can't wear the same shoe two days in a row because my feet are fussy that way so the amount of shoes looks good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369625 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 10:46:11 +0000 Lynne 1369625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://http://www.picard-lederwaren.de/en/home/" rel="nofollow">http://http//www.picard-lederwaren.de/en/home/</a> </p> <p>Have fun, Berlin is a beautiful city!&nbsp; I love Picard handbag and wallet, they are made in Oberhausen and are beautiful quality.&nbsp; Have a look at the link and see what you think :).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369620 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 09:54:06 +0000 Astrid 1369620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had looked OSKA up when Ornella wrote about her dress and they have a store in Oranienburger Straße in Mitte. Unfortunately I don't have any great tips, I'm not an edgy dresser and have a small budget - so not conductive to shopping small hip boutiques. You might like to have a look at the Liebeskind Berlin store, maybe you know them already? They are at Neue Schönhauser Straße 8, not far from the OSKA store&nbsp; actually. I there are other stores that could interest you in that corner. The Dr Martens store is around there as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369613 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 07:45:47 +0000 Ornella 1369613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check the brand called OSKA. There should be a shop in Berlin.&nbsp;I've discovered them only this spring and now I wish I hadn't Interesting designs, excellent make and fabrics.&nbsp;</p> <p>Best of luck in Heidelberg and&nbsp;enjoy Berlin. If you have any time left, I'd highly recommend visiting Cologne. I think you'd love it. </p> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/"></a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369611 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 07:19:37 +0000 Deb 1369611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your selections, which will mix, match and layer well. I tend to think that one boot will suffice, probably the ankle boot. You could wear the gorgeous leather jacket and booties to travel and keep your luggage lighter. Berlin is über cool, artistic and intellectual and these clothes will fit the vibe. All the best with your presentation, have a great time and stay safe.

I prefer the leather jacket if you have room for only 1. I wonder if you need both the short sleeve sweater and the sonar wool top--i would swap the denim jacket for one of these? Or the tall boot AND the ankle booties--of course i once brought 7 pairs to a 7 day mtg? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369429 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:57:33 +0000 Astrid 1369429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't need a rain jacket. It's supposed to stay fairly warm and there might be rain, but I never wear a rain jacket in everyday life besides days when I go trekking. Just be sure to take an umbrella with you when you're out and about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369425 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:51:12 +0000 Greyscale 1369425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh. Rain. I'm bringing an umbrella and the tall boots, but no waterproof jacket... California has been in an awful drought for years. It rained once or twice last winter, but it's really been over two years since I had to think about rain. (I miss it a lot.) I *think* I'll be ok with the jean jacket and an umbrella, but maybe not... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-berlin#post-1369420 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:36:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1369420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your collection of items and they look like they will work well for your needs. Those R13 black jeans look very tempting.

The first few days are a conference in Heidelberg&nbsp;(at which I am giving a talk) and the second half is tourism in Berlin. I think I can manage with a single carry-on. I collected everything I might bring into a pinterest board:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/monochro/travel-capsule/">http://www.pinterest.com/monochro/travel-capsule/</a></p> <p>Items:<br />shoes: flats, ankle boots, tall boots (comfortable for walking, good for rain)<br />bottoms: 3-4 pairs of jeans, knit skirt, leather shorts<br />dresses: shirtdress, t-shirt dress?, drapey knit dress<br />tops: assorted<br />warmth: lightweight wool cardigan<br />jackets: denim, leather?</p> <p>Scenarios:<br />wandering the city: jeans with tall boots, basic top<br />low-key nightclubs: leather shorts, silk blouse&nbsp;or wool top, ankle boots<br />giving my talk: white button-down tunic, black straight jeans, flats<br />hanging out with scientists: assorted<br /><span>restaurants: assorted<br /></span><br />I love everything in my list right now, but I worry that I'm overlooking something. E.g., will I be too cold? (Probably not. I run hot.) Will my ripped boyfriend jeans be inappropriate? (Again, probably not - Berlin is full of young hipster types.) Will I fit into my jeans? (A good question but I am ignoring that problem.) Am I bringing too much? (Probably.) Will I be underdressed for clubs?</p> <p>If anyone has favorite edgy boutiques, etc, in Berlin, let me know! I'm looking forward to visiting COS in person, and I also noticed that Zara prices are much lower there than here. But those are both&nbsp;chains I can get here... </p>
