Here comes the summer...

Wahey I have just signed up up to do a National Life Guard award at my local pool this summer which I am very excited about (as well as a little bit nervous) so to get me into the swimming/summer/hopefully sunshine mood I thought I would do an image dump of a post with some lovely life guard related photos I have on my hard drive to share with you all.

I doubt I will look like any of the models do, seeing as I will be in my black speedo swimming costume complete with "go faster!" stripes and even less like some kind of Pamela Anderson doing the legendary Bay Watch slow motion running in red short shorts. But I don't think that the red short shorts are compulsory life guard attire so I'll be ok.

Happy Easter Sunday Everyone :)

I am very happy right now eating chocolate eggs for breakfast, listening to Paulo Nutini on the radio and after I've watched Gossip Girl I'm going to go and visit my grandparents. Lovely day :)
What are you up to?

Purple Haze

This gorgeous photoshoot from Marie Claire, based around my favourite colour perfectly evokes Spring, (which officially start tomorrow) with the blossom, the sunshine and the styling.

What are you most looking forward to about Spring?
Mine has to be my birthday, the 15th of May- don't forget!

Oh and here are some quick updates:
-I HAVE A TUMBLR! Check it out here and I intend to fill it with lots of pretty photographs.
-I have a new post up on Velvet (the trend that is dividing opinion, similarly to Simon Cowell and Marmite it seems you either love it or you hate it)

-And finally another guest post up on the Shopaholic Blog on Lace (which admittedly can be a hard trend to pull off)

Hope you all have had a great weekend,

Beth Ruby xoxo

Merry Christmas!

Hello just a quick post to wish everyone a fab Christmas tomorrow!

I hope your Christmas wishes come true and you have an amazing day.

Oh and it just started the snow where I am, how perfect.

So here are some pretty photos to look at from British Vogues December's issue with Lara Stone shot by Mario Testino.

(It actually really annoys me that the tiny corsetted ball gowns are too small for her normal sized boobs- see the last photo especially- but Christmas cheer and festivities and all that so I won't complain about them any more)

Hugs and kisses

Latest Obsession: Where The Wild Things Are

Along with pretty much everyone else I am feeling total Where The Wild Things Are nostalgia.
These photographs from this months Dazed and Confused just sum up my current love of all things wild. And Abbey Lee Kershaw looks stunning, her baby-like face is perfect for this shoot inspired by the original childrens book.
Photographs by Daniel Jackson:

Oh and on one of my recent Amazon online Christmas present binges I bought a copy of 'The Wild Things' by Dave Eggers. I read a preview of it in the Guardian the other week which was fantastic and if 'A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius' which I read earlier this year by him is anything to go by this too will be heatbreaking and genius as well. Can't wait for it to arrive on my doorstep!

Oh and I cannot wait to see the film with my little sister. It looks brilliant.
