She is cooler than ice. She is the rock chick with a capital R and always with a genuine sense of style. Maria Andersson, the lead singer and guitarist from the coolest girl band on the planet, Sahara Hotnights, is this weeks Haku hero. 

We love how she manages to mix feminine with maskulin and rough with pretty. She walks the red carpets of Stockholm always looking different from all the other fashion clones while still being true to herself. She has attitued without being rude and takes on fashion without too much effort, probably not being aware of how fashion forward she really is.

These are our favourite Maria Andersson fashion moments:

(press play on the player to hear "visit to vienna" by Sahara Hotnights while getting inspired)

Discover Sahara Hotnights!

Cool t-shirt styled with an even cooler jacket. Oh my... we just gotta love this.

Extremly fashionable! WE LOVE those sunglasses.

Dressed in a pair of her signature highwaisted jeans and with a slim leather jacket it's a winner.

Very feminine but still true to herself with the highwaisted skirt and the block printed top.

Keep rocking our world :)

Love

Online shopping

You will be amazed how easy it is to shop online these days. You can get fabolous fashion without even leave the comfort of your own home. HH discovered that while lying in bed with a cold, we still could feed our fashion needs online. Dangerous? yes... But who doesn't like dangerous? You just have to watch out for getting financially ruined. It's as easy as that!

These are the best online shopping sites according to HH:

www.asos.com

This is where to shop if you want to get that celeb look instantly. We love the "in the style of.." comments to the clothes to help you copy that favourite celebrity of yours. The catwalk feature is also cool. Who would want to see how the clothes look on the runway before shopping? The site also has major sales every season.

 

www.forever21.com

If you live outside the US and don't have a forever 21 store near you this is how to get the clothes you can't live without. And it's a bargain. All europeans will be surprised how much you can get for 100 dollars. Go nuts girls!

www.net-a-porter.com

This is where to easily get all those designer items you see in magazines. Let's face it, not all of us live in N.Y, Paris or Milan. But this site brings all that juicy desiger fashion into your wardrobe just one click on the "add to shopping bag" button away. Ok, you have to bee rich or just stupid - to spend two months of grocary money on a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. But who said we weren't stupid?

Love,

week 42/08

She is mean sometimes. But most of the times she is a cutie. Original dresses styled with an attitued. Lily Allen is our Haku hero this week. Maybe she's not the best role model for all the young girls out there, but she never asked to be a role model. She is just herself. And we love the way she dresses: careless.. why? because she actually doesn't care what people think! And that is in true Haku hero spirit. We wish more people could be like her. The fact that she was the one who started to wear fancy dresses casual with sneakers and made it work, makes her a fashion icon. We bet there are not many who could pull that one off while getting admired world wide.

Are favourite Lily-dresses:

 

This whole provocative look is fantastic. She showed up to an event in this bambi-slaughter cocktail dress and went all the way with the neon pink hairdo.

Here she tries the goth look but still sweet with the floral print. Very nice mix of styles.

This is what made her famous - dresses and sneakers. Why should we always torture our feet in high heels just because we love dresses? Lily Allen made it work.

Love, HH

week 41/08

Justin Timberlake brings casual to a new level. He mixes tailored garments with t-shirts and jeans in a completly never seen before way. Before Mr. Timberlake went solo, popstars dressed tacky and untasteful. Maybe he got an extremly good stylist or he just developed an own sense of style. With his own fashionable label "William Rast" we are almost sure that he dresses himself in the morning. He started the label with his best friend and namned it after his grandfather. It is so inspirational to see someone going after his dreams. It was something he always wanted to do and when he could, he did it. He sings, he dances and he acts. And on top of all that he beatboxes... That makes him this weeks Haku Hero. :)

Our favourite Justin outfits:

Very fresh and cool at a Mtv award show. The dark purple tie makes the outfit.

A perfect fitting suit on a night out with his darling.

An example when he mixes causal with tailoring. The dark denim pants makes the outfit different and cool.

Justin is a fan of hats and it fits him very well. Here he combines the hat with a fabolous coat.

Love,

HH

H&M heart Comme des garcons

Week 40/08

We have a crush on Alexa Chung. She is the fresh looking english/chinease model and tv hostess with a fine sense of style. She has her own personal style always looking extremly fresh and modern. It must be the simplicity of her outfits that make them stand out and look new. 

After suffering from very low self-esteem from modelling she took a break for a while and explained “I’ve used up all that neurosis – there’s none left. I’d rather have a bigger brain than smaller bones.” We see her as an inspiration to others that have gone through the same thing and seeing her glow on pictures now and feeling secure about herself shows that she took responsibility of her own life when she needed to do so, and that makes her a real Haku Hero. 

This is Alexa in her fiercest outfits:

Princess pink ruffle dress that fits her like a glove. She brings it to a different level with fierce rock chick high heel ankle boots and a black belt. It gives the outfit a little more edge to it.

Stunning on the red carpet with a dressy dress and a casual hair do and simple black pumps. It's all about the perfect mix of elegance and simlicity.

Going hippie style on a photo shoot. We predict those cat-like glasses will be the next big thing.

Alexa is a genious when it comes to mixing vintage with new clothing. Somehow she manages to always make an understated fashion statement.

Keep working it girl :)
