A need for Swede

A need for Swede



If it’s made in Sweden, sign us up. Aside from the staples IKEA and H&M, fashion-y types can’t get enough of Acne and Cheap Monday. Leave it to Achilles Project (283 Summer Street, Boston, 617.423.2257) to nab the next soon-to-be cult favorite from the land of tasty little meatballs. In the tradition of Swedish design, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair’s spring collection contains no-brainer pieces that are the perfect mix of impeccably tailored structure and just the right amount of avant-garde. Put more simply: wearable items that will yield unlimited compliments from strangers. Think paper-thin
draped jersey knits, super trendy drop-crotch trousers, and breezy chiffon and jersey dresses that are essentials for hot city days. Great craftsmanship doesn’t come cheap, but these pieces will pay for themselves in the times you wear them this season alone. Those gaps in your spring wardrobe? Consider them repaired.

ANNA CHESHIRE LEVITAN
WRITER/EDITOR/PRODUCER
We spotted her at
the WANT IT! party, presented by Saks Fifth Avenue and the Esplanade Association.
She caught our eye because looked like she just came from chic beachside lunch.
She looked perfectly proportioned in a Tibi pink paisley shirt (Anna grew up with Tibi designer Amy Wallin Smilovic on St. Simons Island, Georgia), YaYa high-waisted bell bottoms, Prada shoes, and a Free People bag.
She can’t live without spring coats, particularly a black-andwhite houndstooth coat and a bright pink coat with gold stitching.
Her must-stop shops: Saks and Calypso


FRANCES RIVERA
7NEWS AND CW56 ANCHOR AND EVENT MC
We spotted her at
the WANT IT! party, presented by Saks Fifth Avenue and the Esplanade Association.
People lined up to meet her because she’s just as beautiful person as she is on TV.
She almost outdid the models in a Black Halo dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, and jewelry from street vendors in NYC’s SoHo.
What’s not seen on TV? A rebel real life, Frances likes to shake up her style when off camera.
She’s completely entranced by Wilhelmina Slater’s style on Ugly Betty.
Right now, she’s absolutely obsessed with Black Halo.


JUSTIN BURKE
EXTERNAL AFFAIRS COORDINATOR FOR THE ESPLANADE ASSOCIATION
We spotted him at
the WANT IT! party, presented by Saks Fifth Avenue and the Esplanade Association.
We had to grab his attention because he was the most stylish man in the room.
He showed his family pride by mixing his H&M pieces with his grandfather’s shirt.
Playing it West Coast casual, this Cali native substitutes beautiful cufflinks or vests for ties.
He takes style cues from laidback rockers like Jason Mraz and Adam Levine.
What he wants for spring: navy blue loafers and plaid pants with whales or lobsters within the print

 KRISTEN CALDON
MANAGER AND BUYER FOR MOXIE
We spotted her at
the WANT IT! party, presented by Saks Fifth Avenue and the Esplanade Association.
We’re a fan because the girl knows how to accessorize.
She paired her Foley & Carina bag with a Joie dress from Crush, a BCBG blazer, and Marc Jacobs shoes.
She describes her style as vintage chic.
Aside from shopping standards like Neiman Marcus and Saks, she shops at Crush, Holiday, and Achilles Project.
She completes her looks like a pro with platforms, wedges, oversized bags, exotic skins, and printed scarves.
