It’s the first of December so let’s get this party started! I’ve already teased you last week with some simple and stylish Christmas DIYs and a beautiful modern rustic home full of Christmas scents in Denmark but today I’m going to get you in shopping mood.

These beautiful dark and moody Christmas shots are from one of my favourite brands, Toast UK. I’ve featured their clothes a few times on the blog but I’m equally in love with their house and home range.

Comfy and luxurious, sexy and rustic – their loungewear is made for an elegant yet relaxed Christmas, blissfully without any garish battery-powered toys or sticky fingers in sight. [I know the grass is always greener…]

I adore the styling of these shots which represent a welcome contrast to all the crisp, clean and mostly white festive decoration that is so on trend at the moment.

Toast UK have done it again for me this AW! I’m just drooling over their latest photo series shot in Iceland and titled ‘black sand and ice’.

The stark contrast of soft winter fabrics against black sand and ice in the eerie Icelandic landscape is just beautiful and I love the choice of model. The colours and textures conjure up a sophisticated, calm and reflective mood for me that makes me want to go out and buy their whole collection.

Cue evil laugh by the Toast marketing department but I’ve got to hand it to Nick Seaton and the team. A great campaign and wonderful AW14 collection. For more inspiration check out their look book online.

To satisfy my shopping urge I’ve selected a few pieces below that would be just perfect for me – and Christmas is just around the corner.

ENGLISH COUNTRY LIVING MOODBOARD

19 November 2013

It’s a lovely sunny cold and crisp autumn day in London and I’m wearing a cozy grey polo neck sweater, hugging my morning tea and think I might even make myself a hot water bottle for my feet. Brrr… is it cold where you are?

These autumnal days always make me want to go for long country walks in wellies, woolly coat and with a huge scarf I can pull up to my ears. Getting ever so slightly lost on the way and usually stuck in the mud or having my jeans ripped when climbing a fence.

Somehow having the cobwebs blown away and battling the elements makes me feel that I’ve earned my seat next to the roaring fire as well as my second helping to some decadently rich pudding. On a day like today, english country living can be very rewarding and make you feel utterly wholesome – rosy cheeks and halo included.

After this preamble I feel the need for a mood board to give my humble writing some context and to bring autumnal living in the gorgeous english countryside to life.

All to be enjoyed with the customary Stylejuicer cup of tea.

TOAST MENSWEAR IS NOURISHING YOU THIS AUTUMN WINTER

14 November 2013

A double helping of Toast this week on Stylejuicer and it’s menswear’s turn today.

Food is hip, right!? Jamie Oliver’s passion has resonated with the most listless person and by now we all get it: We are what we eat!

Nutrition is important and has become a conversation point along with house prices and choice of schools. We read more cook books than ever and cooking shows like The Great British Bake Off are no longer a guilty pleasure but something to be watched with friends and celebrated. We care about food miles and strive to buy local produce, ideally organic or fair trade and enjoy our Saturday mornings at farmers markets.

Going out to dinner has never been this exciting with new places opening up every week and an endless choice from swanky Michelin star to authentic seasonal cuisine to rustic pub food and organic cafes. We are obsessed with food and we love it!

What a great angle therefore for a fashion brand who are equally enthusiastic about their garments to associate the two – which is exactly what Toast has done with their menswear AW2013 collection. The chosen twelve models are not professional models at all but people like you and me photographed by the marvellous Neil Gavin and styled by David Lamb.

Not exactly a new idea you might say, but they are also UK-based and involved with food in one way or another. They are not just achingly cool but passionate about their work and each individual story gives the collection an added sense of credibility and authenticity.

I love the fact that Toast has chosen to include women in their menswear catalogue which works surprisingly well as you’re absorbed by the individual stories and don’t even notice this oddity.

Enjoy and support these incredibly hard working individuals below representing the classic and stylish collection in a simple and unpretentious way. Authenticity rocks right now!
