HOLIDAY SEASON

Sun kissed and back with a tan, Holly our PR and Marketing girl has just returned from Dalyan in Turkey. We asked her to share her holiday highlights and tips:

• Enjoy the sunshine and head to Iztuzu beach, 3 miles long with gorgeous clear sandy waters. Make sure you take the water taxi from the riverside for a beautiful boat trip!

• Don’t forget your flip flops! Ruby + Ed Golden Shimmer Sandals were great for walking along the hot sand.

• Enjoy the Turkish food, Houmous and Halloumi to die for! And also great ice cream...be warned, the cheeky vendors are likely to put on a bit of a show for you… don’t be surprised if you walk away with ice cream on your nose!
• Head into town for some shopping of course! Turkish towels and handmade soap were among the goodies brought home. Don’t forget to barter, the locals are friendly and fun and you should expect to pay about 3/4s of the original asking price.

If you’re travelling this summer, let us know your top tips!  FB or Tweet us @Rubyanded #RubyandEdsummer #holidayhighlights

HOLIDAY MUST HAVES

Holiday season is fast approaching, here’s our guide on must have items for a perfectly packed suitcase:

• Prepare your outfits for travelling. A key item is the Mazu Parka in Bark it’s light weight so can be worn on top of a t-shirt to keep you cool and dry, and the multiple pockets come in handy for your passport, guide books, and sunnies. With a drawstring travel bag it’s easy to stow when the sun is shining.
• The Leopard Shimmer & Dove Tote is fashionably practical hand-luggage whether on the plane or the beach.
• If you’re a touristy tourist and love having a wander, the Aruna Cerise Dress teamed with the Golden Shimmer Sandals can take you through from beach to bar.
• Or if you’re sightseeing our Chambray Lace Up Pumps are perfect for pounding city pavements.
• Need a cover up for the beach or a wrap for the evening? The Wandering Elephant Scarf is stylish and versatile.
• Make up! – Some of us get away with a bare face but here at HQ we like to take a few essentials (our picks include tinted moisturiser, waterproof mascara, eye liner, blusher and two lipsticks (one nude and one bright)).  Oh and don’t forget a protective SPF lip balm for the beach. The Orchid Pink Filigree Make Up Bag is great for keeping all these bits together amongst all of your clothes and accessories.
• Slippers for around your hotel are great for the room to spa dash. Make a statement with the Impressions Bow Mule.
