Edited by Nicole Vardo

Clearly fashion is all about image, but it’s  not always easy to keep up, with all the running  back and forth from each awesome show during this fashion week season! After the last show I attended I swore to always be prepared with whatever came my way, after all the beauty of it all is to make it seem that you’re not trying hard at all. Let’s just say travel sized items have never been so loved!

Alexander McQueen Black leather Flats, $580;; your nail polish color of the day (chipping isn’t cute);; Fujifilm Polaroid camera from Lomography, $70;; Stress away Johnson&Johnson lavender baby lotion, $2;; Nexxus Travel-sized Hairspray, $7;; Moisturizing Hand sanitizer, $3;; Cherry Chapstick (for both tint and shine) $2;; Colgate Wisps, $3;; Citrus 5 Hour Energy Shot, $3;; travel sized eau de parfume bottle;; phone charger ( & come to the LOOKBOOKS lounge to recharge!

Trendspark: Wire Frames

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Dork glasses have been the eye-wear of choice since Chloe Sevigny rocked them out back in 2004. The trend may still reign supreme, but thick plastic frames are a thing of the past! Seen in all their glory during Stockholm Fashion Week, the up-and-coming frame of fame is the double-bridged  aviator, wire frame!  They’re quirky, cute and people can actually see your face! Two thumbs up! 

Thanks Pipeline!

Runway: Acne Jeans, Spring/Summer 09

Edited by Corey Moran

Everyone knows how great Acne Jeans are so there was no suprise when they rolled out another solid line of denim. However, the true suprise for me were the amazing leather items. The big leather duffles and colored leather boots (I need them!) are what caused me to drool on my laptop. Inspired by the 1950′s, the subtle grays and navys create an elegant stylish feel.

Thanks to our friends at WeAreTheMarket for the images.

Runway: J. Lindeberg, Spring/Summer 09

Edited by Corey Moran

Here is another feature from Fashion Week Stockholm. J. Lindeberg’s SS 09 looks are evry conservative and classy. The larger pieces are somewhat unimpressive to me, but the accessories rock. I love the white wingtip shoes and the driving gloves. As a whole I would say slightly disappointing, but J. Lindeberg definately produced some items that will catch the eye of an aquintance.

Runway: Cheap Monday, Spring/Summer 09

Edited by Corey Moran

Stockholm Fashion Week featured some amazing designers this year, and one that seemed to really be stepping up its name was Cheap Monday. Since they moved into the United States they have been known for their $65 jeans and pants, but now Cheap Monday is trying to move into more high fashion full looks. Although there is nothing like being able to get a full runway look for under $200, I am a bit disappointed with Cheap Monday’s attempt. I love their jeans, but find nothing attractive about the rest of the line.

Thank you WeAreTheMarket for the pictures!
