That’s what cool looks like, and it’s not only due to Maria’s and her daughter Iris’ (6) sunglasses. The squarish look that Maria creates with her cardigan and the knee-length skirt reveals a keen sense of style. Individual and sexy with ankle strap pumps. Plus: the apricot colored blouse for a flirt with spring. Maria is a textile designer and moved with her family from Israel to Berlin six years ago. “We had always wanted to do that, [...]
The kid in Xuan’s arms is not her own. It’s her niece that was just not willing at all to break away from her aunt. Was that due to Xuan’s classic-cool look? By all means imaginable. Especially in case that the niece is just as crazy for fashion as Xuan’s daughter Hoa Hien (5), standing on the right. “She’s quite a little fashionista”, Xuan says. We should have guessed, looking at this great red skirt! We met Xuan’s entire clan (amongst others her 14-year-old son Bach) in front of the [...]
With a blanket under her arm and daughter Josefine (3 months old) in a wrap Melanie strolled to Volkspark Friedrichshain for a picnic. Whatever goodies were dished up there … did they look as enticing as Melanie? Like a Spring fairy she floated through the streets on her sandals, her skirt streaming out behind her. “I can’t stop walking”, she told us. “Josefine would just not be fond of that at all. So I keep strolling through the streets of Berlin.” There are worst things in the [...]
We met Jing in the middle of crowning her style: At the Akkesoir shop in Berlin Mitte she bought this gorgeous bag that brought pants, shirt and scarf to the colorful point. Jing was born in China and is a corporate consultant. With her former fellow students she founded the Chimosa studio in Mitte close to Oranienburger Tor, where stressed out Berliners find physical and spiritual well-being with the help of tea and martial arts. The results are excellent, at least with Jing: She seems to be [...]
Nora’s motto: something new, over and over again. This also and specifically applies to her style: “It isn’t so much about a particular designer”, she says. “More important is to individually pick the best out of every trend and mix and create. I change my likings regularly and am eager to try out new things for my life and my style.” We met the marketing expert and blogger in Mitte in Café Fleury, and this name fit Nora perfectly: She was so beautiful, open, witty and charming. She has been interested in fashion since [...]
We met Anja and Marlen on their supposedly most important daily mission: getting ice cream. And they do it with a sense of style, as look-alikes. Anja’s style is so hot in Marlen’s eyes, that it’s hard to get the little one out of the house if she doesn’t look exactly like her mom. Who could hold it against her, looking at this coat? Now the only question is whose sweater makes for the better color contrast to the beige. Anja is a social education worker and a mediator and is enjoying the spirit of [...]

Leggings from L.A., boots from Tokyo, hat from husband: Yuka gets about a lot, and her style (thankfully that great colored T-Shirt found its way from underneath the sweater) expresses every bit of nonchalance that leads Yuka through her life. A year ago her husband got a job in Berlin, and they didn’t think long but packed the bags. Then they got a daughter (now 1,5 years old) and started to deal with a new challenging everyday life, where everyone [...]
Look at these great boots with their little yellow flying objects attached! We are not surprised at all, Anne is a flight attendant after all. And the fact that T-Shirt, pants and bag back the yellow in terms of color by every trick in the styling book, makes us fall in love with the cute appendices even more. Anne is enjoying her maternal leave with her 15-month-old son these days and is – look out, here comes another totally needless pun – ready for take [...]
So the bright skirt did win after all! All morning long Katrin had mulled over the red and the light blue one. That’s because she was looking forward to a special day: For the first time after the birth of her daughter (2 months old) she was going to meet her friend for some serious girl talk. And that with ice cream. “I hope she is not going to be bored”, says the industrial engineer from Prenzlauer Berg. “Two girls and a baby are somewhat different than just two girls after all.” No worries, Katrin was [...]
Dorina calls herself a Super Mom. And may we add: a Super Accessoirista. A hat, glasses, and an eye-catching sweater for the classic look of skinny pants and leather jacket show a heart full of love for solid styling. We met Dorina on the playground at Mauerpark, an she had gone on quite a journey to get there. She has been living in Zehlendorf with her husband and her two sons (1,5 and 2,5 years old) [...]
Spring on a skirt! What a very appropriate outfit for a Sunday walk in Mauerpark, where we met Valentina. The Colombian has been living in Berlin for only a short while now and is looking forward to her acceptance test for cinematography studies at the DFFB. “I hope I pass, get to study there and live in Berlin”, says the video artist. Other than that and above all she wishes to meet other moms. Friend needed, anyone?

We met Julia with her three-year-old daughter and a huge bag full of shoes in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. Shoe enthusiast? These boots definitely speak for a great sense of style. Moreover we love her combination of colors in hat, sweater and jeans. However, it turned out that Julia was just on her way to the shoe repairman. It was time for proper soles again, since Julia leads a turbulent life. She is an actress and a [...]
We encountered Christian buttoned up in this awesome suit of a different kind. This has got to be the most comfortable combination of pants and vest anyone has ever seen. Accentuated with these black and white boots … we can’t get enough of the picture of this stylish dad. This surgeon from Graz in Austria was roaming around in the shops and cafés of Prenzlauer Berg with his girlfriend and his one-year-old son. “It was the little one’s first flight, and we enjoy the atmosphere [...]
Forever amazing, what a scarf can do for an outfit! Or for two bloggers: We just could not let this colorful look pass by without commenting on it. The scarf is from Regina’s own collection, with her husband she runs the label Tiedeken. In addition she is a costume designer, a mom of a five-year-old daughter and therefore always busy. What brings us back to the scarf, cause this simple accessory instantly upgrades any outfit – if Regina is going to the supermarket or to the Echo [...]
It’s easy to see that Didem and Olivia are as thick as thieves. They even got pregnant around the same time. Didem’s daughter is eight months old, Olivia’s son six months. Now both are trying to be good moms while not forgetting about their other dreams. The two friends founded the Love Circus that realizes individual and creative weddings. “There are just too many weddings planned according to catalogues”, they say. To show what a special wedding can be all about, they will stage a big event this weekend: the Love Circus Bash. And [...]
Well, that’s what we call an outfit! An outfit per definition is a set of clothes that typically serves a special occasion or purpose. The purpose of this one is obvious: providing the beholder with lots of interesting finds. We love the wild impression left by the mix of color and structure of Zuzu’s shirt and scarf. Cap and jacket in brown and shoes and belt in red, however, bring back the harmony in Zuzu’s look. Just as terrific: the elegant [...]
Saskia could not live without fashion, and anyone could tell. She even beat that first sunny Sunday in March with her glorious aura. However, these pants could also beat any hideous winter’s sorrow. Biker jacket and furry vest complete the playful look between coolness and girlishness. The born Berliner is lucky to have her whole family and all of her friends living in the city and keeping her grounded. “I love Berlin and everything that’s moving in and with it”, Saskia says. After giving birth [...]
Sometimes it’s the simple things that knock your socks off. Like the colors of this outfit. We love Albena’s combination of blue jeans, mustard yellow sweater and brownish-red hat, framed by a coat and shoes in beige. Sober colors that pop when working as a team. We met the mother of a six-month-old son on Dresdner Straße in Berlin Kreuzberg, where she told us that she is obsessing about furnishing her apartment these days. When it comes to her son, the native Bulgarian, who [...]
Linda sewed the fur collar on her military vintage jacket herself. But that is not the only reason why we take our stylish hats off to her. Who can make a winter outfit look hot like that, deserves a place of honor in our Hauptstadtmutti blog. We love the red Docs combined with the blue jacket and jeans hot pants! Linda has a three-year-old daughter who is “the most beautiful and also the most demanding” aspect of her life. She does however [...]
Luise won the photo shooting of our Valentine’s Day competition, and when she showed up at Café Blume in Hasenheide park in her cool jeans-blouse-look once more it was clear that classic outfits never go out of style. Even less when the look is finished with a cute scarf like that. Luise is a goldsmith and a jewelry designer, and is able to pursue her creative passion thanks to a well working network of [...]
