DRESS LIKE SINCERELY JULES IN RUBY+ED


Here at Ruby+Ed HQ we are great fans of Julie Sariñana aka Sincerely Jules of both her style and photography, therefore we decided to have a street style photo shoot of our own where we have used her blog for inspiration.

Pictured below are a select few of our sporty canvas and pastel suede lace ups from our SS12 collection which proved vital in achieving her unique look.

RUBY+ED CELEBRATE THE DIAMOND JUBILEE

Being a British brand here at Ruby+Ed HQ we are all getting very excited for the Diamond Jubilee weekend which is fast approaching. Seeing as we are all going to be with our friends and family during the weekend we decided that we would hold a tea party which everyone contributed to with decorations, food and drinks so that we could celebrate together in true Ruby+Ed style. The Ruby+Ed team all wore their favourite pieces from the SS12 collection and we partook in numerous party games and a great British quiz created by Hollie our Trade Manager.




Being loyal to tradition Megan made some delicious coronation chicken sandwiches, and Laura baked some British themed cupcakes which were to die for! 


Above you can see Hollie wearing the elegant Esha Tunic whilst cutting into our Union Jack cake after we had devoured all of the wonderful sandwiches and snacks. 



Above you can see Laura who is also wearing the Esha Tunic being crowned Queen of the Diamond Jubilee quiz, and all of us playing a game of 'guess who' around the table. 

Below is Claire and Megan pictured modelling two of our silk blouses from the SS12 capsule clothing collection. 


Here is Olivia and Suzy wearing their novelty masks! Olivia is wearing the Surya teared dress and Suzy is supporting our Neha chemise dress.



As you can see from the pictures the afternoon was a great success and we hope that it inspires you to create your very own Diamond Jubilee tea party.  To view all of the pictures from the afternoon please visit the Ruby+Ed Facebook page, and don't forget to ‘like’ us :) 

Keep an eye on our blog as we will be posting a story soon of how you can create some of your very own home made Jubilee bunting.

SAM'S HOLIDAY TO MOROCCO




As you may have noticed we have been writing our ‘Around the world diaries’ for quite some time now and we are thoroughly enjoying telling you all about our adventures. One customer has enjoyed the series so much that she has decided to contribute with her own story. It was so lovely to read and she kindly agreed to allow us to use it on the blog. Here is Sam’s story of what she did when she went to Morocco.

‘I have just returned from the gorgeous country of Morocco where I wore my new lovely Ruby+Ed purchases that I got from their website a few weeks ago in preparation for my holiday. Being a fan of the Ruby+Ed Blog and your Ruby+Ed Facebook page I have been captivated by your lovely ‘Around the world diaries’, so It gave me some inspiration to share my trip with you.

Sam at the beach in Agadir wearing the Aruna Dusty Rose dress

I stayed by the beach in Agadir in south west Morocco. My Ruby+Ed Aruna dress in Dusty Rose was perfect for walking along the beach which went on for miles! Whilst walking along the beach one day we came across this lovely man and his camel where I asked for a photo. Below you can see a photo of me on a camel wearing my Aruna Dusty Rose dress.

Agadir was a nice quiet resort, quite modern due to it being rebuilt after it was nearly all destroyed by an earthquake in 1960. However to see more traditional Morocco we headed for Marrakech....

The main square in Marrakech is full of performers, such as snake charmers and acrobats, it was like another world. The souks were like a maze of market stalls of locals selling their handmade crafts and locally produced products. During a tour of the souks we passed through an area where you could see the local people making everything from leather bags to lanterns all by hand.


Roof top restaurant where we had lunch

I also visited the Bahia Palace (pictures below) where I wore my Ruby+Ed hand printed Bela tunic which made me feel very at home among the decorative tiles and paintings. Afterwards we stopped off for lunch on a roof top restaurant (pictured above) with fantastic views over the city for some traditional Moroccan food.

Marrakech was a magical city and I would love to go back to one day. ‘

We hope you have been inspired by Sam’s travel diary and we encourage you all to send yours into us either via our contact form on our on-line site or simply sending an email to info@rubyanded.co.uk  FAO Chris Hughes.
