The Selvática Karina Buhr – Music, Feminism, Activism and Brazilian Punk

berlin-loves-you-karina-buhr-priscila-buhr-featured

For those who don’t know, Brazilian music has a long tradition of female singers. I like the MPB (Popular Brazilian Music) from the ’70s, with the likes of Maria Bethânia and Gal Costa. Karina Buhr is a modern addition to this list of great names, and does not disappoint when it comes to keeping our … Read more The Selvática Karina Buhr – Music, Feminism, Activism and Brazilian Punk

Brazilian Rapper Emicida Blasts the Politically Corrupt

BERLIN LOVES YOU Emicida_2015_–_Jose_de_Holanda-3854

I must say I never was such a huge fan of rap, but to me Brazilian rap is different. It was born from the class struggle that’s still very much present in Brazil, and shows a reality of Brazil that we don’t get to see in the media (especially not the foreign media). Emicida is … Read more Brazilian Rapper Emicida Blasts the Politically Corrupt

Back to the roots with natural wine at JAJA Berlin

jaja berlin

First of May was a small glimpse into what summer will offer us (kids take your sunblock with you, I totally underestimated German sun last Sunday!), and for those who enjoy a sunny afternoon with an Apéritif in hands, newly open JAJA Berlin is a good choice. Founded by French-German crowd Julia and Etienne, the … Read more Back to the roots with natural wine at JAJA Berlin

Abyme Vodka: Designed with Berlin Nightlife in Mind

Abyme Moscow Mule

What comes to your mind when you think about vodka? I’ll bet it’s Russia, Gorbatschow and, well, a monstrous hangover (or at least a slightly annoying headache). For me, it was such a pleasant surprise to have affordable Russian vodka here in Berlin. I mean, compared to the ones we have in Brazil, even Berlin’s … Read more Abyme Vodka: Designed with Berlin Nightlife in Mind

5 Minutes with Sophie Auster

Blake press

I met singer Sophie Auster in a rented AirBnb flat next to Boddinstrasse, Neukölln. Not the place I would expect to meet the upcoming singer, who’s now releasing her third album, Dogs and Men. Young and petite, Sophie has a 1960s flare (that she swears doesn’t sum up her whole style) that gravitates between well-known … Read more 5 Minutes with Sophie Auster

Dining experiences in Berlin – Blind Dinner at Entretempo Kitchen Gallery

BlindDinner_026

I always find it interesting how, in Berlin, people experiment with everything. Literally EVERYTHING. And, of course, why not to try something new when it comes to dining? We have so many blog posts about eating the best burger (thanks, Andrew!), the best Mexican style restaurant or even grilled cheese, so why not to have … Read more Dining experiences in Berlin – Blind Dinner at Entretempo Kitchen Gallery

You don’t need much to be pretty – get to know organic make up Und Gretel

11760112_498068457013365_5812231668698206336_n

Here in Berlin I have the feeling that women are much more free to walk around how they want. No need to put yourself under 10 kilos of make up, foundation, eye-liner and so on. And it’s completely fine. Who cares? In Brazil I would say vanity is a big part of our lives. I cannot … Read more You don’t need much to be pretty – get to know organic make up Und Gretel

SEEK for Him – color trends for boys

rivieras

Better later than never… here comes some of my impressions from SEEK Berlin, a fashion fair which happens next to Berlin Fashion Week. Different from massive Premium (of which I will soon post about), SEEK is easier to walk around because it’s much smaller and located in Arena, a big square warehouse, what makes it … Read more SEEK for Him – color trends for boys
