Met Gala Madness: the highs and lows

Last night was one of the most exciting nights of fashion in the entire year. The night where the fashion set pull out all the stops and the invitations are highly coveted (selfie queen Kimmy K couldn’t even get an invitation until a couple years ago). It’s been known as ‘Fashion’s Prom’, a prom with […]

Skirting into Spring

I can’t help but smile as the amount of light each day gets longer, and the sun starts to shine and heat up, because I know that winter is now (only just) behind us! As we creep into a new season, I wanted to delve into one of the key pieces for a great Spring […]

These boots were made for walking…. and showing off!

Now that the seasons are changing, and it is officially too cold to be wearing open toe shoes without feeling like a frostbite victim, we wanted to turn your attention to one of our FAVOURITE autumn/winter wardrobe items… BOOTS! As soon as that cold chill creeps in to the wind, ladies everywhere starting to bring out […]

For the Love of Leather

One of the best fabrics to incorporate into any wardrobe (particularly in autumn and winter) is… you guessed it… LEATHER. Something about the texture, the versatility and the edginess it brings to a look is both classic and modern. It is quickly becoming a favourite medium for high and low street designers alike. Now, I […]

Bringing Oscars Glam into your Everyday!

I’m sure you all, like me, were drooling over the couture on the Oscars red carpet yesterday. But, something I always wonder is how to take that glamour and translate it into something a bit more.. wearable. Something we ladies can rock on at home, out on the town or just into the office tomorrow. […]

Don’t let Swimwear Shopping get you down!!

At Ruby Slippers we know most people rate shopping for swimwear somewhere between a bikini wax and root canal surgery. But, it doesn’t have to be this way! If you know what you’re looking for before you find yourself in the changing room knee deep in discarded options, then the process can be much less painful. […]

H&M…Preparing to open their doors down under

First Zara, then Topshop and now H&M are making their way down under.  The Swedish retailer plans on opening its Melbourne flagship store in the GPO Building on Bourke Street early 2014. It is inevitable that the retail giant will follow its rival’s footsteps by opening a second Australian store in Sydney shortly after….we patiently […]

Stylish Flats….it’s NOT a Myth!

At Ruby Slippers there is nothing we like more than a beautiful pair of heels…we’d wear them all day…and night, but lets be honest, it’s not always practical. We realise Carrie Bradshaw wears nothing else, but girls you HAVE to remember it’s a TV programme! Finding a balance between stylish and comfortable seems about as […]

Stop…..it’s Jelly Time!!!

Now, I think the time has come to address a trend that people either love or hate. One that’s worn by celebs across the globe and has become increasingly popular over the last few years. It’s the trend that you thought you would never see again, at least not after you graduated primary school.  Yes, I’m […]

Packing Like a Pro for a Weekend Away!

Packing is an art, which can be difficult to master! We all pack too much when going on holiday, who doesn’t?  The last minute panic where we throw in three extra pairs of shoes “just in case” is all too familiar.  With an increasing number of airlines charging fees for overweight and oversized luggage we would […]
