Style Swoon: From the bag line Lupita Nyong'o keeps carrying, to the star-studded launch of Amazon's first dedicated skincare line, FEMAIL rounds up the week's style highs

  • Lupita Nyong'o carried Brahmin handbags three times in one week
  • CHI launched the Lava Dryer, for a healthier, faster, smoother blow dry

  • The Daily Front Row hosted its star-studded 5th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards with Sunglass Hut

When it comes to fashion, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a super stylish every-day passerby.

As fashion editors, we're moved by all of the above, and then some. We're exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we're tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop - a lot.

To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this Friday series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for the clotheshorses and fashion fanatics alike.
