Bank Holiday Boston Terrier

The three day weekend means we wont be posting for a few days, but in the meantime here's Lucille, the canine star of our AW12 campaign.

What Happens in Ibiza, Stays in Ibiza

Our competition with Ibiza Rocks and Selfridges ends this weekend – so if you fancy winning a three night stay in the luxury hotel Pikes at Ibiza Rocks, plus flights, closing party tickets and a Religion shopping spree, head to one of our Selfridges concessions to enter. There’s still time to see an Ibiza Rocks DJ performing live in the Selfridges concession in London too – so if you’re at a loose end this Bank Holiday get down to Oxford Circus!

Our Garment Technician and resident Ibiza goer Anna just got back from a holiday there and she’s given us the insider info. What ever happened to what happens in Ibiza, stays in Ibiza?

What is the biggest Ibiza anthem this year?

There are so many! Apparat – Song of Los reminds me of Ibiza sunsets. Todd Terje – inspector Norse is my favourite and a lot of fun to mess around to.

What is the best outfit for a night out on the White Isle?

I like to dance, so flat sandals or plimsoles, Religion Holes vest with a bikini top and ripped denim shorts got a lot of action.

Which club was everyone talking about this summer?

Ushuaia

What is the key to Ibiza style?

Free spirited – as long as you can dance, and can’t be worried about what you will look like when the sun rises. Sunnies are essential!

We recommend our round lense perspex sunnies for cool Ibiza style

Which is your favourite club for good music and good times?

DC10, or Ibiza Rocks if you need a break from ravin.

You’re heading to the beach for a day of recuperation – what’s the best Ibiza hangover cure?

Large bottle of Desperado tequila beer and topless sunbathing.

Cara Kilbey's Holiday Essentials

Our competition giving away a Religion shopping spree and an amazing 3 night stay in Ibiza thanks to Ibiza Rocks is well under way, and it's got us thinking of holidays and dreaming of the White Isle. If like us you'd rather be on a beach than the bus, or if you're preparing for a holiday, read on to see the holiday packing and summer dressing tips from TOWIE's Cara Kilbey.

What’s your favourite thing about summer dressing?

It’s got to be wearing shorts with bare legs. I don’t like the shorts and tights look so summer is my only chance to wear my favourite shorts.

What do you think can make or break an outfit?

I always like to make sure I've got a nice bag and a great pair of shoes - that definitely makes an outfit for me. I'm not a massive fan of accessories but sometimes statement jewellery can really turn an outfit from dull to wow.

The Essex look is taking over the nation – what’s your top tip for Essex style?

Make sure you’re always glowing with a nice tan and a big and bouncy blow dry.

What are your top three tunes for summer?

My top three tunes this summer are: Rita Ora - RIP, Azealia Banks - 212, Emile Sande - Heaven.

You’re about to jet off on holiday – what are your holiday essentials?

A nice big pair of sunglasses are great for hiding your holiday hangover and at the same time protecting your eyes. I'm currently fronting a new charity initiative called 'Shade Aid' which is to encourage people to donate their old sunglasses so the children in Africa can stay safe from the effects of UV Rays. And of course my other essential is an amazing pair of wedges. My Missoni wedges have travelled all over the world with me.

For eyewear with flair try our Cat Eye sunglasses

What’s your favourite Religion piece this season?

My favourite Religion piece this summer has to be the Prayer shorts. They’re glam and rock chic at the same time. I wore my black pair to Lovebox Festival and my white pair to Wireless - everyone commented on them.

Whose wardrobe would you love to raid?

I would love to raid Kim Kardashian’s wardrobe. Every outfit is spot on and she always looks amazing.

Describe your ideal night out...

My ideal night out has to be with the girls. There's nothing I enjoy more than all my friends getting together and starting early with a few cocktails on a roof terrace bar followed by dinner and lots of dancing.

Tell us your guilty pleasure...

Oreo Biscuits! I just can't help but make a nice cup of tea and indulge in a pack of Oreos… but at 53 calories per biscuit they're not always ideal.

Olympic Spirit

A santa hat at Christmas or bunny ears at Easter, we love an excuse to dress up our Praying Skeleton. This week we've transformed him in Olympic games style. Turns out he is a multi-talented sportsman - from the pool to cycling, from fencing to the boxing ring - is there nothing this skeleton can't do?!
