A TOAST to style
August 27th 2008 12:25
This morning the postman really delivered.
Waiting in the mailbox for me was the Toast Autumn/Winter 2008 catalogue. As a consequence, I am about to launch into a fashion rave of gigantic proportion here, so those of you who are not interested in hearing about gorgeous clothes, spectacular imagery and classy classics click away now. For those remaining, sit back and feast your eyes....
Toast is a UK fashion company catering for customers online as well as from bricks and mortar. If you are currently around the districts of Bath, Harrogate, Oxford, Notting Hill and Islington, all I can say is - lucky you. You will be able to see this collection in the flesh. However, all is not lost for the rest of us, as a browse through this current catalogue is a lovely experience - even the paper smells nice!
To put this collection in a descriptive nutshell, I would have to say it embodies a utilitarian, yet elegant pared down look, which simultaneously incorporates the key elements of current fashion trend. (do you know how long it took me to create that sentence?)
I can visualise myself wearing everything in this range, which either means the stylists are very clever or I need a reality check (close friends, please do not email a response to this).
The themes running through the catalogue are earthy, vintage and chic with subtle country overtones - all of which will win me everytime. While I am as easily seduced by the big glamour model look as the next girl, there is something that really speaks to me from an image of a girl slicing apples in the the kitchen, a la:
And for god's sake, they've even photographed a model consumed in my favorite pastime:
After seeing this page, the children are definitely getting scones for their playlunch tommorrow.
This is 147 pages of utter eye candy and if you want your own copy just go here and fill in your details.
Now can't you imagine how beautifully our lockets we discussed yesterday would go with all of these outfits?
I must say, it has made me a bit of a wanty-want now, and here are the three things on the top of my wish list. (You can order online, but as I've mentioned in the past, make sure you understand the exchange rate of British pounds - this is not cheap fashion, but it is classic.)
So with all of that off my chest, I'm off to spend some quality time here:
