(my fav pic)

Stockholm Fashion Week.

Instead of stretching out a series of runway shows, presentations, and parties over a drawn-out week, packs a wallop of well-edited Swedish designers into a manageable three-day schedule.
 
 
Highlights include Carin Wester; who sent out a ‘70s inspired collection (above) of lace pieces, sheer dresses, and cropped tops that would be perfect for frolicking in the fields of the Swedish summer.
 
 
Cheap Monday's show was held at a dramatic location right on Stockholm harbor.
The show opened with the signature call of Shabba Ranks' "SHABBA!" and continued with more Jamaican dancehall, as models emerged in the latest denim trends and clear plastic boots.
 (above)
 
 
Dagmar, put together a nice presentation in a Stockholm courtyard. 
The line displayed their favela-inspired collection of neon knits and pastels tied up on a clothesline, with a Brazilian band providing entertainment, and weak Caipirinhas for calories. 
 
I indulge in FASHION & TRENDS, I love all three!

Front Cover: Blake Lively x Interview.


The beautiful Blake Lively graces September's 2010 issue of Interview.
The blue-eyed, blond bombshell certainly turns up the heat from her alter-ego, Serena van der Woodsen (a feat we though impossible), with Craig McDean shots captured "on video"—look for the regal in a jail cell, come-and-get-me in a police waiting room, and a little pissed-off posing against some bars.



 

Fashion Radar.

I spy NotCouture and their new line of necklaces.
Silly Rabbit these necklaces are not just for the kids!
Designed by German/British artist Tina Lilienthal.
On her website,  part of Lilienthal's "dead cute jewelry" collection, the bunnies (cast in glass, metal, and plastic) come strung on gold strands, ball chains, or silk threads.  
"There are tiny bunny heads, big bunny heads, and extra-creepy bunny heads with rhinestones inserted for eyes."
These necklaces are affordable and not over $100.
Make your purchases HERE
