Toast & Sparkle

Winter for me is all about the combination of jewel tones, wooly tweeds and sequins and beads. The unexpected spangle, the warmth of opaque tights, the layers of interesting textures…

Toast has always summed up my ideal wintery layers perfectly… And their party collection is simply scrumptious…

I have already been inspired by this to make this…(doesn’t look great here, but trust me that I’m delighted with it!!)

P1050364

The attendent sparkly in their pre-holiday collection is stunning – check it out!

Stunning Alessia Dress, but not quite sure how it’s £395… Oh, maybe cos it’s silk and is detailed as Elegant dress in an opulent silk jacquard woven on a traditional narrow loom and painstakingly finished by hand.

Wool devore Lina dress for £185

Wool Aida coat comes in at £495 – probably cos all that embroidery on the STUNNING collar is done by hand. Blimey.

Scrummy Silk Velvet Tunic for £129…

imageThere’s obviously a ‘relaxed velvet top’ trend going around…

(this one from Boden is £49)

Good thing I’ve got some teal silk velvet left over from a ballgown below that is simply DYING to be brought out over the winter. Watch this space…

Yum, Yum and once again, Yum.
