Ted Baker

On Thursday I popped in to check out the new Summer season at Ted Baker at their media fashion showcase, where the lovely store manager Tash talked us through the ranges. I especially liked that Ted Baker is part of BCI, Better Cotton Initiative, a charity ensuring ethical cotton use in the fashion industry. So many beautiful things! There’s the famous floral prints and bows, of course, but also luxe embroidery, marbled prints, hummingbirds, ornate sneakers, and something for everyone, from Race Day to weddings to workwear. Pictured:  Tash of Ted Baker Britomart, Michiko Hylands, and I.

What a Friday! Wine and cheese arriving separately, to make the perfect platter combo. The fabulous fruit juice brand Barkers of Geraldine have released Fruit For Cheese pastes using their quality fruits just in time for summertime parties. Rockburn Wines of Central Otago Stolen Kiss rose is the ideal accompaniment to my summer platters. Cheese by artisan cheese producers, Whitestone Cheese Co. Marble cheeseboard by Citta.
