hug-you

Hamburg Weekend Impressions.

2013-05-12T11:02:00.000-07:00

First of all, it's time to say it loud; to all the great mommies out there HAPPY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY and especially to my mum, I love you! I recognized that there are more outfit publications actually on the blog than my personal imagery which I guess was greatly missed by some readers. Reasonable for this is this newest impression post on hug-you. Hope you like it people. News I need to tell you, my brother Tommy is a newbie on Instagram and it would be cool if you could check out his profile by clicking here. Thank you, thank you!

My look: Headhunter Cashmere Sweater, Salsa Skinny Pants, Topshop Boots, & Other Stories Sunglasses, Hallhuber Bag.

MSGM Stamped Lace Sleeveless Dress

2013-05-07T13:05:00.001-07:00

The italian fashion label MSGM by Massimo Giorgetti is THE current fav brand in the blogosphere and fashion industry. Shapes, lines and the passionate, artistic color mix and match became a typical trademark of MSGM. Actually, it is one of the most intriguing brands of the moment. The elegance of the stamped lace dress is in my opinion unique, dreamy, romantic and contemporary. The love to the detail tailoring of the fabric attracts the ease and comfortableness of the dress right away.

My total look: MSGM Stamped Lace Sleeveless Dress, Zara Bag, Chatelles Slipper, Warehouse / Helmut Lang Leather Jacket.

Missoni Fringed Poncho

2013-05-04T03:08:00.001-07:00

The fringed poncho by Missoni is the ideal slipping on best friend for the spring/summer season whether combined with a bikini for the ultimate beach vibes or elegant and classy for shopping occasions, you will definitely not regret the purchase. I promise to show you another outfit wearing the Missoni poncho probably in combination with short pants for an uncomplicated boho look. Totally obsessed with that zig-zag bluish multi colored piece and it's matching my Yves Saint Laurent arty ring so perfectly. J' adore!

My look: Missoni Fringed Poncho, Chatelles Slipper, Hallhuber Slim Pants, Yves Saint Laurent Arty Ring, Iconemesis Iphone 4S Case, H&M rings.

Chatelles Paris

2013-05-01T12:09:00.000-07:00

I am truly happy to announce that finally spring came by and the sun has also decided to shine bright like a 'diamond'. Oh my, a dream comes true. So, my latest spring obsession are these beautiful slippers from Chatelles Paris. You should definitely check out the 'about' section to get to know how Francois, the creator of Chatelles started his own brand of slippers. I had the pleasure to choose my favorite pair and got the model 'Roméo' with neon coral tassels. I ask you to excuse that I haven't posted these images quiet earlier, my week was really busy and Julia and I had to arrange several shootings for the next few blog contributions for our blogs. I am leaving for Berlin tomorrow and Julia (you should stalk her blog N°93) is packing her bags for her London weekend. Furthermore, I am grateful for all the numerous votes on the Patrizia Pepe x Fashiolista Blogger Battle. Thanks to everyone who already voted for my look! You rock!

Spotted: Karl Lagerfeld & Christiane Arp

2013-04-23T15:05:00.000-07:00

Here you are looking at some artistic snaps I shot while working with my lovely birthday girl Julia to shoot the images for her upcoming blog collaboration in Hamburg. We shooted exactly in the same place as Karl Lagerfeld, Vogue Chief Editor Christiane Arp and their team used their photo and I guess video productions yesterday. Honestly, I felt like a Paparazzi stalking what they were doing at the shooting. Always good to have a zoom lens... And now all the photos....

That's what I call a big crew...

Karl Lagerfeld and Christiane Arp

Hi Karl!

The Helmut Lang Sweater

2013-04-19T15:47:00.000-07:00

When it comes to cozy looks than my first choice would be ever and ever the Helmut Lang jumper combined with 'Avedon' COH pants, leopard studded sneakers (current lovelies) and the Anya Hindmarch Bag which just match the color of my pants perfectly. The grey melange cotton sweater with a round neck contrast color stitching surround, cable knit and ribbed sheer front panel, black marl contrast full length sleeves and an uneven hem - this was love at first sight. I promise that we will start the new week with the great collaboration with Fashiolista and Patritzia Pepe.

My look: Anya Hindmarch Bag, Citizens of Humanity Jeans, Zara Sneakers, Monki Sunglasses, Helmut Lang Sweater, Hallhuber Coat.

Tibi Graphic Panelled Shift Dress

2013-04-11T09:42:00.000-07:00

The floral printed Tibi graphic dress is definitely an alternate story for the workwear and weekend wardrobe. One of the most comfortable and pleasant dresses I wore in the last time. These graphics are refreshing and wearable, especially if they come in a bright color mixed and matched with black. It's an idealistic mix of classicism and refreshing pop up color that makes me more than ready for spring and summer vibes.

My never ending love story, the YSL - Belle Du Jour Clutch

My total look: Hallhuber Coat, Tibi Graphic Dress, Steve Madden Heels, Yves Saint Laurent Clutch

Oh, Celiné Paris!

2013-04-06T10:56:00.003-07:00

I am probably in love ... yes, with the repeatedly seen Celiné shirt. And as you see I am back to short hair. I am actually thinking about to fill it a bit with extensions. Honestly, I haven't decided what I am going to create for now. But one thing is pretty sure, I will try to vary my hair stylings for more sophisticated looks on the blog. I was totally bored of my over long hair. Aww and a big bacciii to my lovely sister Julia for the great photos and super fun time at today's shoot. You are looking at the 'bathurst bow soft satchel' in grey capra by Anya Hindmarch (newest obsession) which can be worn over the shoulder or across the body. The yellow blazer gives the complete outfit the perfect dose of color otherwise it would look a little sad. Statement necklace and sequin skirt are color-matched and blend perfectly together. I am out lovelies! Happy Weekend.

My total look: Zara Blazer, Celiné Shirt, Zara Statement Necklace, Zara Sequin Skirt, Christian Louboutin Heels, Anya Hindmarch Bag.

Closed: Find your favorite fit

2013-04-02T08:06:00.000-07:00

As I already mentioned in my previous posts, the german fashion brand Closed came up with a great collaboration, Leonie & I were able to choose our favorite denim fits. We realized the styling and had the chance to shoot with the great photographer Max Liebenstein last saturday morning in Hamburg. The thoughtful input of our collaboration is to bring you dearest readership back to the classics and never dying out Closed Denim Wear. Let me feature and explain why I picked these favorite Closed denim pieces and why I chose exactly these cuts you are looking at in this post - in the first picture I am wearing the all time Biker Jacket must-have wardrobe addiction, of course washed in one of my beloved colors blue. The suede biker was so comfortable at the shoot so that I never wanted to take it off again. Honestly I had to, but if you get the chance to try it on - go for it. I am telling you that you will feel the same obsession. Underneath I chose to wear a Closed basic cotton longsleeve in a similar bluish color to create a daily mature look with very casual and classic pants the 'united straight-leg denim pants' which fitted perfectly. It's one of the most important aspects to feel absolutely comfortable in your clothes. Exactly for this reason you are able to attend the Find you Perfect Fit Shopping Event in your area ....Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Muenster, Munich, Timmendorfer Strand or Sylt Keitum. You will be supervised to find your best fit. I am pretty sure that once you found the best, you will rely on it.

So, my second look choice was reconsidered as the typical relaxed weekend stylization, here the following items; the Closed 'fine-knit cardigan' made of cashmere, the printed tank in white/blue and the 'Denim Pedal Star' with the extra slim leg is made of soft and light stretch, my personal must-have pants which would immediately become my all time fav. You should visit La Leonella to see how Leonie combined her Closed head-to-toe looks. My third all denim look below is a typical easy to wear outfit that I tuned up with a statement necklace, I love to keep the stylings minimalistic. I must say that mostly simplicity is the key, I styled myself in two different blue tones, the dark washed 'Juli Skinny-Leg Denim Jeans' and created a mix and match with a basic Chambray Shirt with short sleeves. These two toned wearable classics depict versatility. The Closed over-sized denim shirt made it to my personal layering denim story, a daily denim dream we should own, because denim is not dead and it never will be. Be sure that this touchable trend will come up over and over again.

Once again, I tried out three different but personal chosen stylings for you. I recommend to take your time and try out the versatile denim assortment at the 'Find your favorite Fit' Event because it totally depends on your body type. Hopefully you liked the introduction and now tell me how would you wear these jeans?

Behind the Scene

2013-03-31T13:07:00.002-07:00

It's one of those Closed collaborations which I found most exciting, teamed up with Max Liebenstein who is a really really great photographer (you should check out his portfolio), Leonie from La Leonella, also working as a stylist and Conleys editor, Henrike who did our hair and make up, Isabelle our Closed Online Marketing Manager who organized the cooperation and my sister Julia who shot our backstage photos. I decided to upload just one picture, because I didn't want to show you to much of the upcoming looks and photos. More is soon to come ...

What I´ve been to...

2013-03-28T16:47:00.001-07:00

I have been sick for the last two weeks and we couldn't shoot because of the cold and snowy winter conditions. Now the positive things that happend to me, I am featured in the Instyle Germany April Magazine Issue, I finally received my super stylish Chanel Iphone Case after almost four weeks, we reached + 6.000 followers on Facebook and + 6.000 followers on my Fashiolista profile - Thank you people for all your support. And I finally spent some quality time with my beloved ones. In these snaps you are looking at some of my personal Instagram updates. The Iris von Arnim a/w 2013 press day was held on tuesday, I included my fav sweaters here, you know the brand from my IvA 'Knit loving' post. The cozy heart pullover got my attention. I LIKE! On wednesday we've attended the Grazia x H&M shopping event which offered us 20% discount on the whole assortment. And I am currently in love with Chanel flats, yes or no? I would love to read your opinion. It seems that the blogosphere is totally into these ones. Promising that I am going to shoot new outfits this weekend. We are going to realize the secret Closed project I told you about on saturday morning. And huge thanks to Tom Tailor for the lovely easter suprise. To all that are not connected with my Instagram, just type in: @sylviahaghjoo to follow my livetime pictures. Happy Easter, Sylvia

Instagram News

2013-03-20T06:32:00.000-07:00

Hello again, as I mentioned on Facebook and Instagram you are going to see a really great colla with of course myself and Leonie from La Leonella in cooperation with the german brand Closed and fashion photographer Max Liebenstein. Yesterday was the fitting at the Closed Headquarter for our upcoming shoot and honestly I am really excited to tell and show you very very soon more about it. Everything is just in the process. And now the bad news, I am feeling sick so please don't expect a lot of posts in the next days on the blog. Bisou bisou, Sylvia

Topshop Mini Skirt

2013-03-18T05:55:00.000-07:00

I am owning the Topshop bodycon mini skirt now for a longer while and I must say that I could have it in all different colors, from classy black to flashy neon shades for shopping looks or night out occassions. It's an affordable basic that I don't want to miss anymore in my closet. Unfortunately it was a way to cold to wear the skirt without tights. Especially in this look I am totally into the blue and pink combo, the multi colored chunky knit by See by Chloé goes great with the Hulme tote which I wore this time various; just simply folded as a clutch. I decided to wear my make up discreetly and naturally. A few of you asked me which products I use daily, so I am thinking about to show you my daily routine and favorites soon on the blog. Hope you like the outfit and now have a wonderful start of the new week.

I want you so much!

2013-03-15T11:45:00.000-07:00

Wearing here the 'I want you so much' tank by Saint Noir, which I combined with classic skinny jeans for off-duty chic, adding neon arm candy to brighten up the monochrome styling and a playful pop of color, finishing the look with the Balmain look-a-like blazer by Strenesse and the patent python Michael Kors evening clutch. I will be able to talk very soon about the secret project I told you about in my 'Berlin Fashion Week' Diary. I am getting really nervous and super happy to finally let you know what I did in Berlin. But for now, enjoy your weekend to the fullest. Bisou, Sylvia

My look:

Saint Noir shirt, Strenesse blazer, Michael Kors Clutch, J Brand Jeans, Topshop Boots, Beka&Bell arm candy.

Timeless chic

2013-03-07T14:48:00.000-08:00

As promised in 'Red Valentino Brocade Coat' here is the stylization as a dress. I am truly obsessed with the Red Valentino gem embellished brocade coat, it is such a breathtaking piece of art. I could spend hours staring at the material and the so much love to the detail design. The patent python 'antonia' clutch by Michael Kors goes wonderfully with the very classic and timeless look, its the perfect basic clutch which can be used for many different occassions. Versatile and affordable - Two decisive aspects which might be worth the investment. Happy Woman's Day!

Red Valentino Coat, Michael Kors Clutch, Zara Shoes.

Sweet as Cupcake

2013-03-06T09:37:00.003-08:00

'Sweet as cupcake' - Headhunter known for it's playful new and always fun attitude. Neon colors on finest, made in Germany cashmere, yes this relaxed sweater is all I need to brighten up my weekend wardrobe. It is truly the sweetest addition in combination with the simple shoes and the super soft black washed leather jacket. I am loving classic dark skinny jeans, as always my favorite, without applications and of course no brand name on it.

Usually I try to keep my outfits minimalistic, but this time I felt like putting lots of bracelets on my wrist to create the most flashy arm candy. The make up stronger than usual and my hair styled tied closely. I know it is completely different. As you can see in this pictures, we had incredible lighting yesterday. The sun finally decided to come over. I totally forgot how it feels when the sun shines on your skin and even the blue sky was extraneous.

Headhunter Cashmere Sweater, Yves Saint Laurent Clutch, Beka&Bell Arm Candy, Topshop Booties, Warehouse Leather Jacket, J Brand skinny pants.

Red Valentino Brocade Coat

2013-03-03T16:08:00.000-08:00

The last two weeks were absolutely confusing and I had to focus on my studies, so please please excuse the silence on the blog. I spend my half life in the library, but thank god with the best fellow students on earth. So happy that I finished all the projects and exams which means that I am know able to pursue my passion, taking toooons of photos.

These pictures were shot yesterday in the 'Speicherstadt' of Hamburg and myself standing around in the freezing cold. Hopefully it will get warmer now and I am really longing for a blue sky and some breathtaking sunsets for my upcoming and already planned works. I am waiting for you, no more excuses...

In this post you are looking at me wearing a glamorous

Red Valentino brocade coat which can be worn as a dress (I will show you a similar combination in the next days) or as the indispensable finish, the must-have coat for spring evenings. I am especially loving the collar details of the coat, playful and romantic ornaments make the whole styling look feminine and classy but at the same time it has this edgy touch of though rocker chicness. I used the Michael Kors patent python clutch, this matching bag is in my opinion the faithful companion and addition to my black head-to-toe outfit. Shoes are Christian Louboutin. And now the best wishes for the new week to everyone.

Electric Blue

2013-02-19T08:41:00.000-08:00

I have received a good resonance to the last 'Closed Biker Jacket' look contribution. Thanks a lot for your mails readers. So, here is the answer why you couldn´t find the jacket in the Closed online store, unger-fashion is the only retailer who ordered it in electric blue, please contact them in case you are still interested. This time I am featuring the leather jacket in a delicate mint shade matching my pants (perfect for spring) and in contrast to the electric blue Yves Saint Laurent 'Malibu' sneakers, I am still so happy that I purchased them last spring,

See by Chloé jumper and Sophie Hulme Bag which you know from my last outfit post, both pieces are

from my-wardrobe.com! I must emphasize hereby that I may not be able to publish constantly in the next two weeks. My exams have now priority, but I promise to be fully yours in March again.

Street Style3 / Printed Skinny Pants

2013-02-15T14:32:00.000-08:00

Sorry for this delayed Street Style contribution. I met lovely Maria some time ago at the Alster in Hamburg. The printed skinny strechty pants (she told me that these are from H&M) are varied and stylish and elevate every day looks, quiet interesting how she combined the edgy jeans with the black/white timeless striped sweater, basic black booties + black Ray Ban sunnies and what I really liked is her grey fur parka, well done pretty lady. Like the look a lot. How do you feel about her outfit?

See by Chloé Sweater + Sophie Hulme Bag

2013-02-10T10:05:00.002-08:00

I am totally addicted to this stunning leather tote by Sophie Hulme. The perfect must-have shopper for SS2013 - design, color and quality - these three key facts were executed perfectly. It has the perfect size to accomodate all the woman needs, it also looks unbelievably beautiful and its functional, so I guess that we all realized that this one is THE BAG we all need in our wardrobe. Multi coloured See by Chloé pullover and my arm party work great together and even better in combination with the fierce eyecatcher blue of the Sophie Hulme It-bag. I decided to wear dark blue J Brand bell bottom denim to calm the look a bit down and keep the focus on the bag which plays the main character here in my cozy stylization. The knit colors pink, turquoise, blue and black give the option to combine it to many different pieces. I list a few potential options for you, wear it with a black leather peplum skirt, colorful denim shorts or over a bikini on cooler beach days.

And now the amazing news for you readers, you can win a 150 € my-wardrobe.com voucher on my blog.

Frl.Schumacher

2013-02-08T00:10:00.000-08:00

The most important aspect for me when I visit a fashion store is to feel absolutely comfortable and of course the main point when it comes to shopping is a fine and nice assortment of clothing and shoes. Frl. Schumacher has achieved to combine both criteria, the sales are friendly and really professional which I think makes quiet 60% of the shopping experience but also a matching interior is important for a great atmosphere which was well adapted to the clientele, range and location of Frl. Schumacher. I am here to introduce you the the cute store I´ve visited last friday, exactly one week ago in the Hegestraße 17 in Hamburg. I enjoyed my shop visit with a cup of coffee, an incredible insight of the delicate and timeless fashion jewelry selection by Vanrycke and Arena Copenhagen, super cool sneaker, actually I have to confess I am totally into Nike Air Max after I was trying them on at Frl. Schumacher. You can find a picture below, those Nike´s are truly convenient and I am thinking about to purchase a pair. I spotted Fiorentini + Baker boots, new in the Nike sneakers, Aigle rubber boots of course very useful for the rainy north damp weather in Hamburg, "Walk in the park" shoes can be seen in the first picture above - super cool a bit firmer style which I like, kittenish Buttero floral and uni colored sneakers, IHEART women´s wear and also new in the assortment the fashion label 'unfleur', the green leather jacket is for example one of their newbies.

All eyes on the bust which was decorated with the newest arrival the green leather jacket by 'unfleur' and lavender colored IHEART scarf.

The first spring/summer 2013 arrivals, fine blouses and sweaters placed on the clothing rail, by the way I was wearing one of the newest grey IHEART fine sweaters in these pictures which can be seen in the image below where I am holding my camera in front of my face.

My personal favorite and must-have are definitely these white/blue Nike Air Max.

Fiorentini + Baker suede booties.

Uni colored Buttero sneaker to the right.

The back garden of the Frl. Schumacher store, must be cool in summer for coffee break.

Chan Luu Bracelet.

Black smooth leather Fiorentini + Baker Boots also available in suede.

The Sneaker corner.

Stunning accessories to complement any existing arm party. I love the ones on the left and the ones from Chan Luu to the right.

Closed Biker Jacket

2013-02-04T10:48:00.000-08:00

Since I saw the Closed biker jacket at the SS2013 presentation... I knew that this jacket and I belong together. Firstly, because of the blue leather as you all know my favorite color and secondly I think that I don´t need to explain. Its a fierce leather jacket that will enhance and revamp any outfit. I combined it with my Closed print shirt which was painted by myself and limited edition, still proud of this collaboration, blue pants also from Closed and my YSL arty ring, Rayban aviator sunnies and Topshop booties.
