What a year! 1 year on ~ we had to bring back our favourite Rubette, Riley, for our favourite annual catch up... RUBY Creative Director, Deanna Didovich, unpacks Riley's dream wedding, upcoming summer plans + fav pieces from the collection.
Deanna: So one year ago today we were shooting our Resort collection at Langs Beach, and today we’ve taken it from the beach to the baths. And we’re here again with our favourite Rubette Rylie.
Riley: Hi! I actually can’t believe it was this day a year ago.
Deanna: I know, it’s crazy.
Riley: And that wasn’t planned, hey?
Deanna: No, that just happened.
Riley: That’s crazy. Iconic.
Deanna: We’re here at the beautiful Wylie’s Baths in Sydney. We just thought, you know, this year we’ll come over to Oz.
Riley: It’s so cool here. I’ve actually never been to Wylie’s Baths, but I’m glad you chose it as the location because it’s so cool. Also a bit Euro summer, I feel like, with the concrete.
Deanna: So far, any standouts from the collection that you’ll be adding to your wardrobe?
Riley: I really love the swim, like the orange with the little lace trim. Oh, the stripey mini. So cool, so nice for summer. I feel like everything’s also just really comfy as well. You look cool but you’re comfy. What else did I say?
Deanna: The Christmas Day top!
Riley: Oh yeah, the Christmas Day top! Okay guys, lock in. Everyone needs this top for Christmas Day. It’s got the crochet bow situation on the front. You look cool, again comfy, iconic, love.
Deanna: So tell us about your year. What’s happened?
Riley: So much, guys. I’m married.
Deanna: And the most iconic wedding, by the way.
Riley: Thank you, it was the best day. This has been a big year of doing things that are kind of life-changing, I feel. But yeah, I’m excited for summer. I live on the Gold Coast, but I’m really gonna lock into summer this year, really lean in. I don’t go to the beach all that often even though I live on the Gold Coast, but this year I’m just gonna really lean in, I think.
Deanna: Things that can’t compete with the New Zealand summer? Take it away.
Riley: I have a big long list. I love when it gets colder at night and you’ve been at the beach, you’re all salty, and you just chuck on a little layer. I feel like we take that for granted when we live there. Love that so much. Dairy! Going to the dairy, getting your [longest shake in town?]. What’s it called? Yep, the big giraffe thing. Great fish and chips on the beach, and you’re not sweating to buggery.
Deanna: I also think, for me, I just love the Coromandel. It’s one of my favourite places in New Zealand, and there’s a feeling there that you cannot compare or compete with anything.
Riley: Yeah, so good.
Deann: What’s one in for summer and one out for summer? That’s a thinker. What’s out is not wearing your SPF.
Riley: Oh yeah, that’s a big one. Yeah. But here’s your reminder: SPF always. I’ve been saying this for years and it’s always been in my books, but just embrace everything about yourself and get out there. Wear the bikini, get involved. I also think no makeup, just out of the ocean.
Deanna: I love the no makeup. Yeah.
So cool to have you here again, Rylie, and we can’t wait for you all to see the magic that we’re making.
