YOU GUYS

i know this was announced earlier this year (i.e. april/may, before i started working there..)

but how did i not know that this line (Divided Exclusive) existed?

i almost lost my mind and bought the leather jacket today, before i was slapped back to my senses by the $200 price tag.

most of these pieces minus the bodysuit and the .... foamish looking dress are at the h&m in the eaton centre.

there were also some shorts and leggings there that i saw were part of the line but don't have pictures of.

also, i almost bought a crushed velvet dress with cross-back detailing today... but i feel like it's way too high fashion for my life. opinions?

Cascade House

The Cascade house is located in the Forest Hill neighbourhood in Toronto and was designed by the Paul Raff Studio.

Who wants to be creepy and cruise by this house with me? It's so pretty!

Chanel

I've been dying all day waiting for images from Chanel to show up on style.com.
That being said.. Chanel was... very Chanel. So kudos to Lagerfeld for keeping it that way.
I'm not too big of a fan of any of the looks. They seemed kind of lolita-esque, which kind of creeps me out.
BUT, let me tell you how much I love the looks that were on Freja and Baptiste, and how they came out together (especially the last image!).

Freja is SUCH a babe. I have such a girl crush on her.

chloe 2010

I kind of really enjoy these looks from Chloe.

Not so much a fan of the other lighter, more girly looks (minus the dress right at the top), so I didn't include them but the ones here are pretty perfect.

there's been a change in music.

Balmain s/s 2010

Everybody's talking about Balmain.
And for good reason.
They always do the best jackets, especially the ones on Daria (who opened and closed the show, the only one she walked this season...).
