Must have beach essentials
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010
It’s that time of year again ladies, holiday time! So whether you’re staying at home this summer or jetting abroad, you’ll want to make sure you spend plenty of time enjoying the beach. Make the most of your time on the beach with our suggested beach holiday essentials from Viva La Diva.
Of course, the first and most important thing you need for a trip to the beach is a large beach bag like a beach tote bag below, this will have all the space you’ll need to keep those beach essentials and this Naveh Milo bag is just perfect.
They’re everyone’s summer footwear of choice and you can never have too many pairs of flip flops, a pair of jewelled or beaded flip flops like these from Nine West are the perfect versatile flip flops to wear from a day at the beach to beach party (and they come in lots of colours!)
Next you need a great pair of sunglasses, oversize sunglasses are the perfect fashionable choice and they come in so many colours too. These ones are great to wear with any colour and are a bargain too!
As any diva will know, it’s the little touches that matter so why not add a few pieces of beaded jewellery for a boho chic look? This beaded necklace is just enough to look pretty on the beach.
Ok, so you’ve got your look sorted out, now it’s time to think about those must have accessories to occupy your sunbathing time. Listen to your favourite tunes while catching the rays with an MP3 player like this cute pink iPod Nano that has a built in camera.
But if you’d rather capture those priceless moments on a digital camera, this gorgeous pink digital camera is small enough to slip into your bag and will certainly save those memories.
If you start to get a little bored of sunbathing then why not take along a fun handheld games console like a DSi console that’s such a great way to occupy your time and have some fun.

Glastonbury 2010 fashion – celeb spotting
Monday, June 28th, 2010
So Glastonbury is over for another year and Viva La Diva thought you’d love to see our favourite celebrities’ Glastonbury fashion choices from festival footwear to accessories.
Kate Hudson - she went for a feminine bohemian look with some delicate multi-coloured gladiator sandals. We love these Carvela Koo Classic Sandals, not quite so strappy up the leg as Kate’s, but they’re ever so colourful.
Kelly Osbourne - keeping in with her individual style she went for a more grunge look with black wellies and chunky black boots. I think these Biker Boot Wellies are just perfect for their quirky look.
Pixie Geldof – looking as glam grunge as her friend Kelly, she went for some chunky biker low rise boots like these.
Emma Watson - she also wore black wellies but teamed them with something less grunge like these Pineapple wellies.
Kate Moss – another grunge look from the supermodel, it seems like it was all about glamorous grunge this year and I think she’d love these Red Or Dead Countess boots.
Kate Nash – in all the colours of the rainbow, she wore some cute retro hi-top sneakers. Not quite the same design but these Converse All Star hi-top trainers are perfect.
Sienna Miller – another grunge look with biker boots but worn with a slouchy bag and cute accessories. These brown boots from Schuh are very similar to Sienna’s.
Beautiful beach bags
Friday, June 25th, 2010

There are so many essentials that you’ll need for a day at the beach including sun cream, sunglasses, MP3 player, a good book and so much more, which means you need a beach bag to put it all on.
You’re best going for a large beach bag so there’s plenty of room to keep all your bits and bobs, and that’s why a beach tote bag is the perfect option. Here’s a selection of beach bags we have at Viva La Diva.

Shoes, glorious shoes!
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
We all know how much The Diva loves designer shoes and that’s why she wanted to share all her favouite types of shoes with you all! There are so many different types of shoes on the Viva La Diva website with many new trends popping up all the time, so here’s a useful guide to all the different types of shoes.
Ankle strap shoes – a recent shoe fashion trend that features a strap around the ankle for fashion and comfort, making the shoe or sandals fit much better. Lots of strappy sandals are ankle strap shoes, but there are also now many sandals with cuffs and court shoes with ankle straps.

Court shoes – typically a full shoe with a closed back, some court shoes have a rounded toe, others a pointy toes, while lots have cute peep toe. A great versatile shoe in lots of styles.

Flat shoes – pretty simple, but flat shoes do come in all shapes and sizes including ballet pumps, ladies’ brogues, loafers, slip on shoes and much more. Flats are certainly back.

Flip flops – they’re the perfect summer footwear for the beach or out and about, and flip flops aren’t just flip flops anymore, they’re bedazzled with diamantes, jewels and sequins!

Mules – basically a style of slip on shoes that don’t have any straps around the sides or back of the shoes, come in lots of styles from flat to high heeled mules.

Platform shoes – a popular style of shoe that first made it big in the 70s with the boho look, platform shoes have a thick sole that is typically approximately 1in although there are more extreme styles.

Sandals – sandals come in all shapes and sizes from gladiator sandals and summer sandals to strappy sandals and flip flops. One of the most popular and wide ranging shoe types.

Shoe boots – one of this year’s hottest shoe trends, shoe boots also known as shooties and booties are taller than a shoe but shorter than an ankle boot and are oh so perfect.

Slingbacks – a really comfortable and well fitting style of shoe, slingbacks feature a strap around the back of the foot that firmly holds it in place, they come in strappy and full shoe designs.

Stilettos – they’re the ultimate sexy shoe design with a tall pointy heel that tapers towards the end, they generally come in court shoe or peep toe designs but also sandals.

Wedges – it seems like ladies’ wedges are everywhere right now and it’s no wonder why, they give extra height with their chunky sole and they’re really comfortable to walk in.

Get Posh’s look with thigh high boots
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
She’s the ultimate glamour puss, perfectly preened and always looking oh so fabulous, and that’s why The Diva adores Victoria Beckham’s fashion sense. And it was no different when Posh was spotted wearing some utterly amazing thigh high boots recently.
With their pointy toes, tall heels and stretching all the way up to her thighs, over the knee boots are just perfect with Posh’s beautifully toned pins.
If you loved Victoria Beckham’s look then why not take a look at Viva La Diva’s collection of high heeled over the knee boots? We have such a great range of thigh high boots from Moda in Pelle and Pleaser that you’ll be spoilt for choice.
