Keeping to my ethnic roots, Germany is up next on our street style adventure. My grandma on my Mom’s side was an Altenbach, and her great-grandfather (born in France but of German decent) came to settle in Ohio in the mid 1800s. My sister had the privilege of visiting Berlin for her German class in high school, and I remember being enamored by the beautiful architect, interesting food, and intricate steins she brought back. I also found the fashion to be utterly cool, if not a little dark. These images are found on StilInBerlin.blogspot.com, a great blog to stop by to check out more German style. Enjoy!
Are you inspired by the Germans? Which look is your favorite? What street styles do you enjoy? Let me know!

I’ll admit I was pretty impressed. I’ve never heard of Germany really being a “hot spot” for fashion, so I wasn’t sure what I’d find. But I actually am quite drawn to it!

Being from German dissent, I am particularly drawn to these pictures. My favorite is the one with the beige trench coat and rope belt. I also love what she is wearing on her head. I really enjoy seeing what people are wearing from around the world. Keep giving us more, Maria!

These are so interesting–much different than most of the stuff you see in the states. I love that orange dress!
