The days in New York were really great and during the trips and actual postings in the past, I didn’t had the time to add more pictures from New York City to my blog. So taking today the chance for a few additional pictures (one more posting with Times Square by Night will follow…)
These pictures show you the world famous Chrysler Building and also Grand Central Station – the main railway station in New York with the imposive high ceiling. Grand Central Terminal (which is the official name of Grand Central Station) is the biggest railway station in the world with currently 67 tracks on two floors… and 21.600.00 people using the station every year.
Different fashion and electronic stores are located at Grand Central Station and in their lower levels and also on the main course is a real special store – the new Apple Store in New York. When reading about it some time ago, I won’t believe that they got this premium marketing piece for their company – but it really is… – get your electronic items before getting the train. The ticket booth are often replaced by automatic machines and the clock in the middle of the information booth has a value of approx. 20 million US$.
If you visit New York – you have to make a stop on Grand Central Station just for a few minutes, to see all these people on a rush… More pictures of NYC and my trips are also online at PINTEREST. (follow me if you like…)

During the ITB (International Tourism Show) in Berlin I also looked for a great hotel to stay and decided to visit the world famous Westin Grand Hotel Berlin again. I knew the hotel from the past, but after their renovations, it is a real great spot again and the perfect starting point for Berlin. The Westin Grand Hotel is located on Friedrichstrasse (famous for shopping…) and “Unter den Linden” which will connnect the famous Brandenburg Gate with Berlin Cathedrale, TV-Tower and is really close to the German Parliament on the one hand and Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz on the other hand.
I arrived an hour earlier than expected, but the greeting during checkin was really friendly and they recognized me with a nice welcome back. The requested room was already prepared and they gave me a wonderful upgrade to a suite on second floor, located to the famous Boulevard “Unter den Linden”. The new rooms / suites are really friendly decorated and I personally appreciate it, if everything is ready (no asking for internet access, complementary water on the room, small welcome greeting, etc.) the relaxing starts much quicker.
They had a nice welcome amenity for me prepared with a little bit of fruits, something to drink, a small piece of cake and the living room was perfect – not very often that I spent so much time in the hotelroom in the living room or on working desk to write for you… but here it is quite comfortable. The view from my windows was gorgeous… where a lot of tourists start their tour – I just had to open my windows… :) Two flatscreens, large and comfortable bath room and a great wellness-area also on this hotel with a big pool and great massages…
The hotel is also famous for their architecture and great stair and Atrium – you might have seen the hotel already on movies (e.g. “The Bourne Identity”) and this is one of the only hotels worldwide with the real historic “Grand Hotel feeling”…
You have different dining options in the hotel or you walk outside for the famous restaurants around. I decided to eat outside the hotel and just took breakfast in the morning (and I remembered they had a great breakfast which is still true.)
Prepared for checkout – everything was ready again, my car was in front of the hotel waiting for me, luggage assistance was really quick and helpful, checkout without any problems and bell captain asked if I need driving directions for Berlin to go home. Result: “A perfect spot in Berlin and I am sure, I know where I will stay when I will be back in Berlin in the next months…”
Time for my new look of the day. As I had to go to the city of Munich yesterday, I took the chance for a few additional pictures. The first real day with sunshine after winter and temperatures of 15-20°C and sunshine everywhere, it was time to leave the winter coat behind me.
These pictures are taken on famous Munich Marienplatz and it is always great to go to the city. Most people go there, a bit better styled, from shortest miniskirt to winter coats – everything is still possible in Munich – driving with convertible car – or with winter gloves – all on the same place. One of the things which made Munich really special.
I selected a comfortable outfit, high heels, dark jeans, stylish white shirt and leopard scarf (both Hugo Boss), leather jacket and Michael Kors bag and a grey/blue hat (also Hugo Boss)

Okay for most it might be only a hype – for me is the IPAD3/IPad-HD a really useful accessoire and electronic gadget to stay online and work and blog during my trips. I started with the first IPAD 2 days after it was launched and really love the idea to have a small, but comfortable information box with me.
So the timing was perfect, as I had meetings in Munich in the morning, to stop at the Apple Store at Rosenstrasse and try to get my copy of the Ipad. I write most of my postings for this blog with my MacBooks (Air and Pro) and use the IPAD for first ideas or commenting on postings.
I prefer to check pictures taken online and to read magazines during flights, in hotelroom, without having all the weight with me. The new display is unbeliavable, I never expected the much higher HD-quality and the quicker handling of apps. For me it was really easy to get the backup of my older IPAD2 to the new IPAD3, so I could start working after 30 minutes with my Ipad… for blogging it is the perfect add-on… from time to time I will continue sharing you news about my Ipad, what kind of items I use or which fashion blogs and fashion magazines I read online…
More information about my outfit will follow tomorrow with the new Look of the day.
