How to Stop Yourself Looking Older….

Wouldn’t we all like to look a little younger?

OK, so we all know there are five tricks to remaining youthful…

  1. 8 hours of sleep
  2. 5 portions of veggies everyday
  3. A session at the gym
  4. 2 litres of water
  5. Meditation

…but let’s face it – for those of us who juggle working, family and a social life, that’s just not going to happen every day!

I can normally tick two or three off the hit list, but never them all… and even if I did,  I am sure a bottle of shiraz and a bar of Green and Blacks has probably set me back!!

Now, we love a short cut at Ruby Slippers Styling! So for those of you who would like to retain the youthful vibe and don’t have the time/energy to tick off the magic 5 listen up….

Secret to looking younger….Ditch the granny cardigans!

This is what we think we look like in our cardigans:

The reality is really more like this:

In movies we see cardigans being used to make actresses look older and more frumpy…

 The weather has hit that point, where it is not quite cold enough for jackets and coats, but we need something and the stores are filled with beautiful, soft, cosy cardigans. But, buy with caution!!! They can swamp frames, cover up curves and make you look far bigger than you are.

Don’t worry, we are not suggesting you freeze all winter….here are our picks of some fabulous cardigans that will keep you warm, without looking frumpy and piling on the years.

Give the winter neutrals a lift with this awesome cardigan from Alannah Hill, $189.

This is amazing for the pear shaped ladies amongst us , and looks fabulous with a little belt for those Hourglass girls.

 The belt is absolutely key here, not only does it create a waist and gives you shape, but the faux leather adds an interesting bit of detail. Seed, $189.95

The faux fur lapels take this cardigan from dulls-ville to glam-ville! River Island at Asos, $108

This is perfect for apple or pear shaped girls. The buckle adds a bit of extra detail and the drape of the knit covers up any bits we’d rather be covered!! BARGAIN ALERT – Target, $59

Fitted, cropped, pop of colour, reasonable price – it’s ticking a lot of boxes!!! Review, $99.95

Curving from the neckline towards the hips with a wide collar,  this is great for those who are straight up and down, or bigger on the top than the bottom. Wear with skinny jeans, or a fitted skirt. The Iconic, $89.95

Khaki is the New Black!!

Step aside black there is a new winter colour in town!!

We are going absolutely mad about khaki, it is adding a little bit of spice to the usual black/grey of winter clothes on offer.

It is best suited to those with warm skin tones (think Beyonce, Jessica Alba or Julia Roberts), if you have fair hair and skin don’t wear this right next to your face or it will wash you out…fear not, just put your khaki colour in your skirt, pants or jeans.

We have put some HOT looks together with our new fav colour…for prices and brands follow the links above the pictures:
