Toffee is one of the longest loves of my life. It's been there for me on the rainy days, through good times and has even turned on me when it's viciously sharp edges have lacerated my tongue. Nonetheless, like a co-dependent couple we always reconcile and resume our love affair. There is just something about the creamy, sweet, crunchy treat that makes me heart melt and my shoulders drop in a relaxed and satisfied stance. 

When I saw the Spring 2011 RTW collection for <a href="http://cushnieetochs.com/">Cushnie et Ochs</a> I was instantly drawn to this jacket and shorts combo. The hue is distinctly toffee like and the fabric appears to be a waxed linen or cotton..just slightly shiny but not enough to give you a Gary Glitter vibe. If clothing could melt in your mouth, may you try with this outfit. The sharp angles of the lapel smartly mimic the sharp edges of broken toffee - I wonder if this was an intentional nod to the confection? If so, it certainly succeeded in taking my mind there.

What else could I pair this outfit with than my favourite tv chef, Chuck Hughes <a href="http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/chuck-hughes/sponge-toffee-recipe/index.html">Sponge Toffee recipe</a>. The new season of Chuck's Day off is in full swing on the Cooking Channel { tune in Sundays at 11am }, and this recipe is a nice topping for ice cream, cakes or perfect all on it's own. Much like those shorts or that jacket.
