It flew out of the stores in spring summer, but now our striking butterfly cluster print is back. More beautiful than ever; a soft grey base highlighted with splashes of orange, purple and blue is simply stunning for autumn winter.
Calipso was one of our bestsellers from spring summer and you’ll be glad to hear that maxi dresses continue to be effortlessly elegant and comfortably chic for the coming season.
On its own or teamed with any of our lovely leggings, Celat, is a cute little skirt that will keep your look fresh whilst being a piece you’ll wear for years to come.
Whilst Mileurs, our rather dynamic playsuit, will ensure all you social butterflies stand out from the crowd in our insect inspired print.
It’s usually out with the old and in with the new, but what do you think? Which is the best butterfly?
Recently, you may think we’ve been concentrating on making Ted even bigger and better across the pond in the US of A.
Well Ted’s been busy over on the continent too. This August alone, we’ve launched 5 new concession stores across the breadth of Italy in their national department store, Coin.
Housing our latest menswear and womenswear collections, you might say this is the best of British fashion fuelled with Italian passion.

With an extra day this weekend, you’ve even more reason to get out and do something. If you’re struggling for ideas, we’ve heard about a little thing going on over in West London called The Notting Hill Carnival.
Held every year since 1966, this carnival features 20 miles worth of sumptuous smells, sounds and colours. As one of London’s most exciting annual events, you can expect every inch of those miles to be filled with revellers.
It may have started back in the 60s but this carnival certainly isn’t over the hill. Hopefully the sun will be shining, but even if it isn’t, this carnival will definitely brighten up your bank holiday.
Is it a tunic? Is it a top? Is it a dress? Well to be honest, Tuta is all three.
With frilled sleeves and a length that’ll really let you mix up your look, this versatile piece is a great investment for girls on the go.
Plus when things turn truly chilly, don’t let it get you down this year. Every cloud has a silver lining after all, and without such weather we’d have never found the inspiration for the simply stunning tree graphic.
In the past couple of years, cardigans have become a staple in every man’s wardrobe for the whole year round. Well this smart casual number, Joono, is the perfect piece to get your knitwear off to a stylish start this season.
This particular cardigan has a fashionable high break, button-through placket and contrast colour tipping stitching. Wear it with a smarter shirt or dress it down with jeans and a graphic tee.
In one corner is Ted’s favourite band of the moment, The Boxer Rebellion, and in the other, Drew Barrymore. Adam and Nath from the band were once part of Ted’s Floral St team and we were pleased as punch they made their ‘red’ carpet debut decked out in Ted at the premier of ‘Going The Distance’ in Leicester Square last night, alongside the beautiful Barrymore.
Definitely one to watch this weekend; The Boxer Rebellion lads looked smashing dressed Ted to toe and looked even better on the big screen. Check out their Facebook and MySpace now.

What’s better than a day at the beach with a good book for company? How about one that’s only a tube trip away?
This Sunday sees the Whitechapel Gallery in east London inviting holidaymakers to its very own pop-up beach for an afternoon of the three Rs – reading, writing and relaxation.
Hopefully it’ll be held in Altab Ali Park, just across the road from the gallery, but if the weather’s miserable, the ‘beach’ will be relocated to their creative studio.
Everything’s literary themed for an extra bit of fun, but don’t worry, there’s no need to book.
There’s no smoke, just mirrors with this week’s key piece, Efran.
A favourite from our AW10 collection; our striking mirror print is the perfect complement to the cut of this top. The contemporary monochrome pattern combined with exaggerated shoulders and a higher neckline will elegantly see you through the whole season.
It’s a great style to update your workwear, sitting well with any of our tailored pieces. As well as being just as striking on more dressy occasions. If you like this, don’t miss our mirror print featured on knitted wrap, Oranja, and scarf, Vardy.
Try not to be too sad that summer’s almost over – as this means we can finally herald the arrival of our autumn winter 2010 collection online and in store. Hurrah.
At first glance it may appear the epitome of sartorial simplicity, but a closer inspection offers an explosion of playful detailing, exquisite cuts and unwavering attention-to-detail. It all combines together to create a collection that’s Ted Baker through and through.
You can check out our lookbook now and don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter at Ted Baker to receive a weekly email highlighting the latest pieces of the season.
At times the names of our products may appear nonsensical, but sometimes they can sum up a style perfectly.
More than just a pair of black trousers; Cheans are our latest chinos that offer a stylish alternative to your everyday jeans – you see what we did there?
Now everyone may be in natural colour chinos at the minute, but the edgy yet versatile black of this pair mean they’re perfect for autumn winter and can easily be dressed up or down.

Looking for something to do this weekend? How about a game of ping pong?
For the past few weeks, you may have noticed plenty of table tennis tables around the capital. Well it’s all part of an initiative from Ping! to bring ping pong to the people.
Sadly tomorrow’s the last day. So head to Carnaby Street for The Ping Pong Parlour, where there’ll be tables of all different sizes, as well as coaching for those that need to hone their ball skills. It’s just one ping after another in this city.
Find out more about all things ping pong here.
Tailoring is a huge trend right now and our new blazer, Chippa, is a great way to boost your femininely functional wardrobe.
Its black chintz finish and mirror print lining create a luxury, timeless feel. While sharp, defined edges give a contemporary twist to the piece.
Separate suiting allows you a variety of looks from just a few key pieces, so feel free to mix and match what you wear it with. Alternatively, for full on girl power dressing, try it with our trousers, Grasie and waistcoat, Evret.
