Style Makeover in Sydney

May 13, 2016/0 Comments/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Styling Events /by Rachel Worden

We had THE best day, giving 3 lucky Ruby Slippers prize winners a Style Makeover!

Joanna, Rose and Michelle won our Style Transformation competition and joined us in Sydney at Miranda Westfield to be pampered and styled. It was the VIP treatment all round, as the girls got their hair, make up and styling session. They had a private changing room and were given Myer vouchers so they could purchase their favourite pieces….wait till you see the transformation below….

Michelle our yummy mummy, has a gorgeous 7month old little boy. She lived in blue jeans and wanted to feel a little less mummsy, and have a more ‘put together’casual look.

Joanna, was looking for some style inspiration and some smarter clothes for work.

Rose, a care worker, wanted to feel a little more glam and to get a better idea of what suited her.

Our 3 lovely prize winners…

Let the pampering begin!!

You can never have too many pairs of shoes….

The styling begins…

And the big reveal….

The Gorgeous Michelle:

The Gorgeous Joanna:

The Gorgeous Rose:

Don’t they all look stunning?

Big thanks to Myer Miranda for making us feel so welcome and doing such a wonderful job of the ladies make up.

We offer personal styling packages in Sydney and Melbourne and can help you get the before and after you want! Ask about adding on hair and make up treatments to give you the VIP treatment the girls had!

Can you be forced to wear heels for work?

May 12, 2016/0 Comments/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Office Style, Shoes /by Rachel Worden

The Guardian has reported that a UK receptionist at accountancy firm PWC, has been sacked after refusing to wear heels for work. Did someone say it was 2016…they must have missed that!

Check out the story here. It’s worth a read!

At Ruby Slippers, we love a heel, but we are totally backing Nicola (the poor receptionist) in her campaign #myheelsmychoice. No women should be forced to wear heels for work….seriously, even SJP wears flats, and no one bought into that crazy chick in Jurassic World out running a T-REX in heels?!?

There is nothing unprofessional about wearing flat shoes, the key is choosing the right pair. If you are wearing a suit or channeling a smart, corporate look we would always recommend a pointed toe flat, so your shoes don’t look out of place.

Here’s our top pic of flats perfect for the office:
