summertime clothes

Ruby has just released their Summer 2010 look book, Bedrock. It makes me think of Elaine Robinson, or The Beatles video of "Another Girl" from Help. This is exactly what I want to wear in summer (indeed, what I want to wear right now). The collection also brings to mind early sixties beach party movies where everyone does the mashed potato in bikinis while The Monkees or Beach Boys or Wonders (not the on-e-dors) perform in sailor outfits. I tried to find pictures of this but it was suprisingly difficult.

I know that I often wax lyrical about Ruby. It's mostly because I think that with each new collection they have become more ambitious, while still remaining within the realm of affordability, which is a very important realm.

Yeah, I know, that's why I play the drums - it's me active compensatory factor.

Sorry, the post title is one of the only Ringo lines that I can remember from a Hard Day's Night which was meant to be my segueway into saying that ringohaveabanana has put up some photos of NZ and Melbourne and it filled me with civic/antipodian pride!

In celebration, my favourite scene from the aforementioned film. I want this on DvD, dammit.
