Cheap Monday is a label that, seemingly, can do little wrong; many a fashioniser has indulged in their denim, and few have any negatives the level against the brand. Having met people's expectations thus far, the Swedish brand is looking to raise the bar. Enter London based designer Ann-Sofie Back whose Spring/Summer 2010 runway collection is her debut for the brand.

And what a debut it is! Street fashion in every sense, the collection features both men's and women's pieces that simply ooze fashion trends.

Jessica Alba has the great fortune of a mocha complexion that suits either light or dark hair colours. She stepped out a few days ago in a pair of ripped jeans, sporting a new blonde hairstyle. But while peroxide blonde has been a hair trend in 2009, Alba's shade is more a natural blonde that won't quickly date.

Lingering in the space between fetish, biker, and rock-chic, model Abbey Lee Kershaw dons a variety of leather getups and thigh-high boots for Vogue Nippon, July 2009. The shoot - titled Sweet Child of Mine - was snapped by Terry Richardson but sticks to polished editorial style rather than Richardson's trademark rawness.

You can't look past Herve Leger when it comes to the cut-away bikini trend, and Lindsay Lohan seems to know it. She wore Leger's red bandage bikini at her 23rd birthday celebration last week. But while fringing as a summer shoe trend is still going strong, Lindsay was way off with her black fringed heels - the shoes looking far too heavy for her otherwise light and beachy ensemble.

Picking up a piece that is hand-crafted or individualised in some way is always an extra special shopping experience. We love S.LOVE's debut collection for its gorgeous dresses and scarves - in which each piece is hand-painted. The overall effect is of soft, sophisticated pieces with an edge, that ultimately tie sweetness and sexiness together.

As far as the thigh-high boots trend goes, I can't say that Louis Vuitton's version are the most practical as a long-term investment. That won't stop them being featured in plenty of magazine editorials and photo-shoots though. We most recently spotted them on Madonna in her latest campaign for Louis Vuitton.

The July 2009 issue of Numero Korea includes a shoot featuring Maryna Linchuk in lingerie, LV boots, and sometimes no clothes at all.

As the Men's 2010 Spring/Summer runways continue, John Galliano brings an eclectic and highly ethnic inspired set of outfits with his Spring/Sumer 2010 collection.

From the far reaches of the Middle East to the distant history of British India, Galliano takes global inspirations and does what he does best: costumery. Galliano's man starts off in turbans, sandals, and earthy tones of brown, mustard and burnt orange; before traversing more tailored looks that bear to mind Imperial Britain. As with his previous collection, Galliano also dabbles in some military detailing. Modern sneakers and combat gear in some cases snap the looks back to present day reality; but the overall feeling of historical costume remains.

I've put off writing this post for a while, partly because I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, mostly because I didn't really want to have to acknowledge that I'd be ending the blog for good.

Last month I announced that I would be hanging up my blogging hat. Writing this blog and interacting with its amazing readers has been one of the most exciting and personally fulfilling things I've ever done in my life. FGB has opened my world up in ways I'd never have expected and led to opportunities I've only dreamed of.

These past few weeks I've dramatically cut down on my posting and I've begun to get a feel for what my life will be like after today when I stop blogging. There's a lot I'm going to miss about this incredible community and the enjoyment I gained from writing and expressing my thoughts on this page. But it also feels so refreshing to regain the freedom I had before I began dedicating 30+ hours a week to managing the blog. I've been able to relax and really enjoy my final semester of college in a way that I couldn't when I was up at dawn writing every morning, every week.

Because I don't know of any better way to express my gratitude to those of you who've contributed to FGB through your comments and e-mails, I want to simply thank you. Though I will probably never meet most of you, you mean a great deal to me and I appreciate the support and encouragement you've given me in the past year and a half.

Thank you.

I'm going to leave the blog up online, though there won't be any new posts after this. In a week or so I'm going to shut down the comments section though, not because I don't want to hear from you, but because I don't want to delete spam comments every day for the rest of my life. If you want to contact me, I'll keep fakinggoodbreeding@gmail.com running and I'll try my best to respond to your e-mail. If you're visiting FGB for the first time and are totally confused by this post, I encourage you to read through the archives or just check out my page of favorite posts.

Again, thank you.
