Whatever the weather, summer is coming. No, really, it is. Ted promises.
When it does finally get here, you best be ready. Naturally, Ted’s got you covered: be it barbeque, wedding or beach.
For a casual afternoon in the sun, Ted recommends the LUSTIE t-shirt paired with a casual WINCHIN chino. An afternoon enjoying G&Ts by the Thames calls for an altogether more dapper approach: try the NIPANI shirt for something casual yet smart that’ll take you from sun to soiree with ease.
The look that shows no sign of abating is the preppy trend: chinos, striped nautical shirts and deck shoes, we’re not sure when it became the official uniform of summer, all we know is that we like it.
So what are you waiting for? Summer’s on it’s way; the question is, are you ready for it?
Drum roll please…Ted has selected a winner for his fantastic Rate & Review competition. The lucky writer will receive a £250 gift card, courtesy of Ted.You can read this award-winning review below. Why not join in the fun and write a review of your own online?
I bought this scarf in grey as I thought the neutral colour would go with everything and although it does, I’m tempted to go back and get another colour too… The hardest decision is which one, and with a matching tote available I will have to choose well. It’s a beautifully soft cotton scarf, the perfect length to wind round the neck for extra warmth in this weather but just as perfect in the early spring as a loose cover-up. The animal print pattern can be seen slightly paler on the reverse side and still looks good and the red trim gives a splash of colour to the grey print. I love it, would buy more and definitely recommend it.

Long days, warm weather and balmy evenings. Yes, summer is nearly here and Ted, for one, cannot wait.
Summer is a time for relaxing, enjoying the finer things in life and, of course, turning up the heat. It’s also a season littered with parties and get-togethers: be it barbeque, garden party or wedding, Ted’s summer collection is teeming with beautiful ensembles just waiting to come out and play.
Without further ado, Ted is proud to present Sunset Stripe: a print that likes to sip Pimms in the garden and enjoy ice creams on the pier. What better way to welcome the sun than to invest in some delicious brights that will illuminate even the cloudiest of days?
With its cheery ink-effect stripes and sorbet palette (boasting orange, pink and mouth-watering lemon), Sunset Stripe captures the very essence of Summer. Available across a range of midi and maxi styles, Ted’s got something to whet everyone’s appetite this season.

Whether you’re planning a country retreat, a city break or some festival fun, Ted knows that Summer is all about what you wear. That’s why it’s time to start planning not only your trip, but your wardrobe as well.
In light of the currently glorious Spring we are enjoying, Ted’s put together some suitcase essentials that’ll see you through Spring, Summer and beyond, whatever your plans.
Heading to the beach? Be sure to pack a sizzling piece of swimwear like Ted’s CALIOP printed bikini top and matching ERIO bottoms.
If you’re searching for that quirky spin on festival chic, try a pair of Ted’s scallop-edged SASKEA shorts. Accessorise with wellies and you’ll be ready for the inevitably unpredictable British elements.
The ANJANIA cork sandal is the flip-flop’s sophisticated older sister: versatile and chic, it’s that staple shoe your Summer wardrobe’s been lacking.
So what are you waiting for? Ted’s ready for summer…are you?
Roll up, roll up…it’s that time of year again and Ted’s getting ready to make it the most exciting Easter yet.
Be it an egg hunt, roast lamb or simply the long weekend, Easter is full of treats that we wait all year long for. One of Ted’s favourite annual indulgences is delicious hot cross buns. Traditionally only eaten on Good Friday, the humble hot cross bun was introduced by the Anglo-Saxons and has been growing in popularity ever since.
So what have hot cross buns got to do with Ted’s upcoming Easter Competition, we hear you cry? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see…

Ted filmed and streamed the event live on his UK & US Facebook pages, but for those of you who missed out or simply wish to reminisce check out the edit of Ted’s Drawing Room here.
