You really couldn’t get any more diva-licious than Ravel shoes, they’re the ultimate diva shoe and everything The Diva dreams of with their fabulous shades, adorned with diamantes and in this season’s hottest styles. That’s why we thought we’d boast about the amazing collection of Ravel shoes we have on the Viva La Diva website.

Ravel high heels

They’re the perfect party shoes whether you’re looking for a pair for a night on the town or some wedding party shoes, Ravel shoes like high heels and platforms come in so many vibrant shades including gold, pink and turqouise. And that’s not all, Ravel shoes are also often decorated with beads, jewels and diamantes, so you’ll look every inch a diva.

Ravel flat shoes

As Ravel shoes are oh so glamorous they also make their flat shoes just as fabulous! Gorgeous little ballet pumps and slip ons are just perfect for the office or out shopping, or you could even wear them for a special occasion if you just can’t face wearing heels because we have lots of jewelled ballet pumps from Ravel. And remember, flats are so in right now too.

Ravel sandals

Well it’s summer so what better way to celebrate than with a pair of sandals from Ravel? Oh so perfect and oh so fashionable, Ravel sandals are always in the latest shoe styles so you’ll certainly set the shoe fashions. From simple leather and summer sandals to beaded sandals and cuffed sandals, you’ll find so many different designs.

Ok, so we’ve already given you inspiration on everything you’ll need for your beach holiday, but you’ve got to get there first! Waiting around in the airport for your flight can be a little boring, as can the flight itself, especially if it’s a long one and so The Diva has put together a travel survival kit for all you divas out there from the Viva La Diva website.

One of the most important things when travelling abroad is to make sure you have a good quality and practical bag but a diva will also still want to look stylish. A large tote bag is probably your best choice of bag here but remember, it needs to be no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. This Fiorelli Tutti Frutti Flight Bag is the perfect size and comes in some sizzling shades, but it also has a useful front zip pocket for your passport and tickets and the lockable zips are safe and practical.

You can never guarantee the weather and while it might be pouring it down in England you might be heading somewhere hot, so when it comes to choosing your footwear to travel in it can be quite a conundrum and you also want to make sure you wear comfortable shoes. So why not take a pair of folding pumps to stick in your bag? These Redfoot folding pump shoes are so practical while being gorgeous at the same time, simply fold them up and keep them in your bag. They come in so many colours, some plain and others with embellishments, these silver folding pumps are probably the most versatile.

Some of us just love to get our heads down on plane but it can sometimes get a little chilly so why not take a cute and comfortable pashmina with you? It’s so versatile, wear it as a scarf or wrap before you jet off to keep warm, snuggle into it on the plane or use it to accessorise while on holiday, there are so many uses for a pashmina and they come in so many colours too.

If you’re heading somewhere hot then you’ll certainly need a pair of sunglasses for when you land. But sunglasses are also great if you’ve got an early start and bags under your eyes, and you can also use them if you want to catch a few hours of sleep on the plane. We have a brilliant choice of oversize sunglasses on our website in so many styles and colours. These white sunglasses are very glam and very versatile.

Or you could simply buy a face mask and you’ll get plenty of sleep!

Make sure you stay fresh on long plane journeys and take some essential beauty products with you, but remember each item needs to be under 100ml to take on the plane. Some moisturiser will keep your skin hydrated like this Oil Olay Rehydrating Lotion and some perfume will keep you smelling fresh. We even have the Aroma Therapeutics Flight Box Kit, designed for use on a flight to keep you relaxed and care for your skin.

You can even make your passport look stylish with these Ciccia Leather Passport Holders in black and pink.

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.
