It's Kim's fault

I'm sure many of you read Kim's blog for the recipes, or the photos of her sweet boys, or her dry wit, but I read many blogs for shopping tips.
Last week, buried in all of the above, was a wee link to my new favorite place.
TOAST.
It even has a good name, don't you think? All warm and comfortable and much easier to type than Anthropologie.
Unfortunately, there is no TOAST store in Tuvalu.
Fortunately, there is the internet.
And so, I embarked upon an imaginary shopping trip. (insert dreamy music and soft focus here)


First, I'd buy a pair of these -



you can never have enough fingerless gloves, I say.



I THINK I want a pair of these. Do I want a pair of these?
Can they be worn in snow and slush?



These are beautiful. I don't think I could wear them in snow or slush - but I still love them.



On a positive note: this is the kind of coat I like.
On a negative note: this type of coat rarely looks good on me.



A good party dress. I have no invitations, and, as my mother would say, I'm not especially comfortable with my upper arms.



This scarf goes with everything I own. Unless it itches.



This is a great cardi. I have two or three big cardis like this and I wear them all winter but they've gotten ratty looking.



YES YES YES. It's so ME ME ME.



Our towels are ratty too. I'd like to try a couple of these linen basket weave towels. If we re-take our wedding vows, do people bring us wedding gifts? (we would NEVER)



My off-white flannel bathrobe is much more off than white at this point.



Very pretty. I would like to switch my decor to be all Japanese zakka-like. Don't hold your breath.



I still hate my slippers-which-will-not-die. I'll take a pair of these.

So that's it.
I need some toast.
