Candle Light

Here are some little candles currently on sale. Tied with neat as blue and red ribbon and the mother of all matches.....SWAN!

Anyone who knows me well knows that swan matches are the only matches for me and like the packaging suggests, "The Original ." It's something about the smell that is different from other matches, and maybe the nostalgia of my Dad smoking a pipe when i was growing up?

Anyway they're the flipping best.

Treat yourself or someone you love to some well earned relaxation this weekend and put those feet up by candle light.

Introducing The New and Improved Miss Ruby Blue.

RB November/December 2007

With changes only a week away i've been revisiting some old photographs of the store in order to get some old inspiration.

The following images were taken in the process of dressing ruby for the very first time back in 2007.

(New pics of miss blue to follow next week).

Summer Stock Launch Party

From Monday 19th Miss Ruby will shut her doors for the week while she gets filled up with lots of new goodies and has a little shift around.

So head on down on Friday 23rd from 4pm to be the first to check out and purchase all the new wears. SWIFT!

Hope to see you there x

PS. Thank You to good friend of RB Lydia Leith for the completely delicious poster.

Summer Holiday

Check these little beach babes in their 1940s swimming costumes. I think i might ditch the other lady previously blogged about and fall in love with the little lady above instead.

If she says yes i'll probably take her on holiday so her fabulous swim wear doesn't go to waste.

Wish me luck, hope you're out enjoying the sunshine.

Father's Day

The day for which we celebrate the greatness of our Fathers is fast approaching. A week on sunday (20th June).

If you haven't been super organised and already got your card, below is this years Ruby Blue hand made selection.

They're a bit of fun this year; as you can see from the last image.

So if your dad is your hero, like mine is, write it down in one of these cheeky cards.

Love

I could just be sick about how much i love all the things photographed in this post. I don't really know where to begin describing it all, so i don't think i will.

Why was the 1950s/1960s so perfect?

This weekend is about sophistication i think. If you're going out at all i think you should spend hours getting ready. Pamper yourself, glass of wine, some sweet jazz blasting, resulting in elegant and classy dress.

I'm off to a wedding tonight so that's just what i'm going to do.

Also i think i might fancy that hot little toot pictured above, she get's my vote, maybe i'll ask her to dinner?
