Bargain hunters, tomorrow is your day!

A massive National online sale starts tomorrow. Myer, Westfield, Saba, Peeptoe, Target, Sportscraft and LOADS more stores have signed up to the online store ‘Click Frenzy’, and from 7pm on the 20^th November the fun begins.

150 retailers will slash their prices by up to 90%, on the online store, hoping to attract pre-Christmas shoppers. Based on the success of America’s ‘Cyber Monday’, which saw over a billion dollars spent in 24hours, we should be getting our fingers ready to click away!

For those who can’t cope with the online madness, every David Jones store is having an all-day Christmas sale tomorrow AND opening late till 10pm – no need to bunk off work early or spend lunchtime in a queue!

Christmas sorted:-)

Is your wardrobe is starting to resemble the racks in Vinnie’s?  Are you wearing the same outfits day in, day out even though the closet is full to burst…. then it’s time for a clear out!

Spring is finally here and it’s a great excuse to give your wardrobe a refresh and brighten up your look.  So, plan some ‘you’ time and follow Ruby Slipper’s simple guide for rejuvenating your wardrobe:

• Pack up winter clothes into air tight containers and store them away.
• Mend damaged items or get rid of them.
• If clothes don’t fit you anymore, give them to charity. We hear lots of people saying…’when I lose weight or when I put weight back on, I’ll need these again’.  Mmm, that might be the case, but if they don’t fit you now, then get them out of your cupboard space!
• Don’t just throw items out because you haven’t warn them for a while, try them on and see what they look like. You might spark a comeback!
• Items looking faded and worn – either dye them or throw them.

If the clear out job is too big or you don’t know what looks good and what doesn’t, drop us a line and we can organise a ‘wardrobe refresh’ session.

Do you remember that part in the Sex in the City Movie, where Jennifer Hudson’s character Louise, tells Carrie that her Louis Vuitton handbag is hired?  If you do, and remember thinking what an awesome idea it was, then we’ve found something for you!

‘Something borrowed’ is an Australian company hiring out designer handbags. They carry a range of different designers, shapes and sizes, so something for all needs and tastes. All are guaranteed to be genuine, no fakes here!   We love the idea of hiring a designer clutch when you need something special for a swanky do, the totes and day bags are brilliant if you want to impress or just want to treat yourself to some hot arm candy!

You can hire for 2 weeks or longer if required. Prices start at $20 for a fortnight hire, but vary depending on the size and make of the bag.  This lush Alexander McQueen is $120 for a fortnight, it would set you back over $2000 to buy new.

I borrowed a bag for a couple of weeks (purely for research purposes!), the process is really simple, the bag arrived quickly all nicely packaged and I got to carry a lovely Marc Jacob’s bag around for 2 weeks.   The downside is definitely having to give it back!

Something borrowed are offering all Ruby Slippers clients 20% off bag hire. Simply put ‘rubyslippers20’ as the discount code when you check out (offer for Australian residents only).

Enjoy!
