toast a/w 2012...

the always inspiring lookbook from toast, for the autumn/winter 2012 season.  seriously, could the photography and styling be any more gorgeous?

it is currently eighty two degrees, here in atlanta... i'm desperately trying to make boot and sweater season happen. i thought that if i just paired them with shorts that i could make it work?  and then i went to run errands and almost collapsed from heat exhaustion... in the first thirty seconds. 

we did have one rainy day this week with temps in the upper sixties!  so, obviously, i gleefully zipped on a pair of boots and skipped off to buy a pumpkin, with a giant grin plastered across my face.  

sadly, while reaching for that one perfectly shaped pumpkin in the center of the mound, i caused a domino effect of rolling, runaway pumpkins everywhere.  some nice people helped me to collect and return them .... some people bundled in coats. and gloves. with hoods wrapped tightly around their heads. who complained bitterly of the freezing temps. and looked utterly miserable.  where do i live?

anyway, back to dreaming of more such weather, and outfits like these...

happy friday

toast...

the beautiful stylings of toast.  these photos seem to adequately sum up the perfect summer... i'm ready to dive right in and picnic, and frolic, and splash, and bike, and meander down the lovely avenues

a little about their fashion:

"WE DO NOT MAKE THROW-AWAY FASHION.

Our design and technical teams work together closely and tirelessly, and without compromise, to ensure that our products are constructed from high quality raw materials (often from UK sources) and using construction details which will ensure longevity. The design phase is followed by thorough auditing of the production process to ensure production compliance with our high standards and corrective action when occasionally problems arise.

All this makes for a product which is well designed and durable and will last much longer than cheap high street versions. It is better for the world and for you that they do." 

happy wednesday
