I've been in love with the Toast catalogues for ages now, and wouldn't you know it: there's a Toast store five minutes from my house. I keep popping in there to run my hands over the scarves and choose the things I'd buy for my fantasy home. The term eye candy was invented for their catalogue, always shot in such a way as to make you want to live in Paris or the highlands, or wherever they are, wearing cashmere socks, babouches and floaty nighties. I love the way they blend traditional styles with vintage finishes and that lovely chic simplicity that's so popular right now. Check out their video from the last catalogue shoot, and order your copy here. (It's always printed on such nice paper too.)
I recently found the website of the stylist who worked on their home catalogue for winter 2007: Twig Hutchinson. Don't you just want her to style your entire world?
The photos in their catalog are amazing!

Wow! Those pots of paint are incredible - the whole thing is lovely, but the paint is my fave. TFS :)

I'm a huge Toast fan so thanks for sharing the link to their stylist. I loved the recent catalog (shot in Wales, I think). So evocative. I'm so jealous you have a store so close to you!
