Can you even handle all the exciting retail news this week? The latest comes from Swedish brand Acne, which pretty much defines cool when it comes to fashion. Our LA counterparts were stoked when they discovered the brand was opening a 5,000 square-foot retail location in their locale this fall—it will be the brand's second U.S. brick and mortar spot after New York. And now it's our turn to get psyched: Acne has its sights set on San Francisco and Miami for the third and fourth (not necessarily in that order, but fingers crossed) Acne locations according to WWD.

How cool is Acne? The brand is a favorite of star Euro bloggers Hanneli Mustaparta and Elin Kling—that's how cool. We'll keep you posted as we learn details on location and timing.
