Spring has Sprung, here’s what to buy now!!

August 16, 2016/0 Comments/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Spring Dressing, Spring Fashion, Spring Styling /by Rachel Worden

Back off Winter, Spring is almost here and we are ready for some sun, and some new clothes!!!

Check out our Stylist’s top picks of what is hot for Spring 2016, and we’ll make sure you are rocking the latest trends that will last you all the way through till Summer.

The Slip Dress – We honestly didn’t think there was that much of 90’s fashion that would come back, but we forgot the slip dress! How can Queen Kate and Nicole be wrong?

Team with a t-shirt and denim jacket to dress it down, or just add some delicate jewelry to glam up. So feminine, and so pretty. We love.

ASOS, $57, Silk Laundry, $189 , Maurie & Eve, at David Jones, $189

Frayed jeans – Don’t fall into the ‘trend’ pit, and just pick out a pair because they have frayed bottoms. Make sure you get the fit of the jeans perfect for your shape…and the fraying is just an added extra….and those shoes lust, lust, lust!

AG at ShopBop, $276.59, Ksubi at General Pants, $189.95, Nobody Denim at Myer, $239

Pleated Skirts – Step up your skirt game this spring, with a pretty pleated skirt. Toughen the look with boots, go casual with mules or add strappy heels for your evening look. Double bonus they cover a multitude of sins, begone cellulite!

ASOS, $91, Warehouse at The Iconic, $119.95, Next Direct, $79

The Mules – Drop everything and get yourself a pair of mules! They are super versatile, can be worn with almost everything and don’t cause the same loathing reaction as wedges (why do men hate them so much?!)

Tony Bianco at Wanted, $189.95, Seed, $159.95, Next Direct, $94

The Bomber Jacket – We are totally smitten! Check out our blog ‘da bomb‘ for our top picks:

If you need some help finding your Spring/Summer style, we can help you nail it in one of our 3hour Personal Styling Sessions (in Sydney and Melbourne). You won’t believe what we can achieve in the time! Read what others are staying about their sessions here.

Da Bomb!!

July 27, 2016/1 Comment/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Winter Styling /by Rachel Worden

Never one to fall at the feet of a ‘trend’, we like to think we are a little more picky when it comes to making selections for ourselves and our clients! Think more George Clooney picking a wife, than Henry VIII!

The newest item to excite our stylists is the Bomber Jacket…and we have fallen quite hard!

They are versatile…you know when you don’t want to wear your denim jacket because its too casual, but winter coat is too warm, and you are wearing a leather skirt so you can’t wear your leather jacket…well problem solved! They also look great with shorts, jeans, pants, dresses…gush, gush.

So, here are our Stylist’s top picks of our favourite jackets…and don’t think these are jacket for the teens, they look stylish at any age:

New Look at Asos, $65

MissGuided, $90

G Star, $138

Topshop, $85

BooHoo, $30

Oasis, $105

If you need some help finding your perfect style, a special occasion outfit or some help giving your wardrobe a face lift, we offer 3hour Personal Styling Sessions in Sydney and Melbourne.

What To Wear On A First Date

July 12, 2016/1 Comment/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Featured Fashion Style Tips, Style Tips /by Rachel Worden

We were super excited to help ‘Married at First Sight’ Star Christie Jordee, with her wardrobe…and even more excited to co write a blog with her!

And, what better subject to help with than……

What to wear on a first date, so you catch yourself a keeper!

So, here you have it, Ruby Slippers Styling and Christie’s top tips for dressing for that first date:

Watch your ‘walkability’ factor! We love a sexy heel, but there is nothing more unsexy than a pair of heels you can’t walk in. No guy wants to have to carry you to a cab or see you walk home with heels in your hand. The general rule is if you can’t walk in them in the shop then don’t buy them!

Christie picked these from Nude at Wanted, $199.95. The chunky heel is easy to walk in, the grey is super versatile and you can easily change the look with a sweep of nail polish!

Be true to your own personality. Pointless dressing up as Sporty Spice because you know he likes soccer, when inside you know you are really a Posh Spice. If you are going to keep your keeper, don’t dress up like someone else. Be yourself.
If in doubt always dress up not down. We don’t mean wear a ball gown to the bar, but as you would expect your date to, make a little bit of extra effort.

4. Find the middle ground between sex siren and little miss straight……Always leave him wanting more, but not feeling like he’s just spent an hour at a librarian’s convention. For example, avoid teaming a short skirt with a low cut top, it’s too much. If you are wearing one ditch the other. Also watch your clothes aren’t expressing your nerves and saying ‘I am not interested’.

5. Do your 3 step face check. No lipstick on teeth, no mascara under eyes, eyeliner where it is supposed to be. Don’t make his only thought for the first half an hour be ‘how do I say you’re wearing more lipstick on your teeth than your lips’.

Our top 6 knitwear picks, that don’t leave you looking like Yogi Bear!

June 9, 2016/0 Comments/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Winter Fashion, Winter Styling /by Rachel Worden

We love a chunky knit at Ruby Slippers.

That romantic vision of sitting in front of a fire, wrapped up in a cosy sweater…or prancing through the airport in an oversized cardigan .

The reality seems to be less like:

And more like:

Ok, maybe not that bad…but, big boobs, big shoulders and just generally being human leaves most of us looking 3 sizes bigger in a sweater. Think more Yogi bear than sexy knit wear.

So, our team of super stylists have tried on 27 sweater and 14 cardigans (oh the static hair) and have pulled together their top picks of this seasons knitwear.

AJE at MYER, reduced to $210:

ASOS, $65

Marcs, $119

The Iconic, $69.95

Seed Heritage, $149.95

Veronika Maine, $189

What to Wear to Work

June 6, 2016/0 Comments/in Featured Fashion Blog News, Office Style, Style Tips, Styling Tips /by Rachel Worden

As PWC announce they are ditching their dress code for staff in Australia*, they join so many other companies who realise we don’t need to dress so formally to look smart. But, as the dress codes ties are loosened and employees are welcomed to dress as they think appropriate …does this cause more problems than it fixes?

If you were one of the many who quite enjoyed throwing on your ‘uniform’ of a suit, top and heels…and are now left wondering what the hell you are supposed to wear to work, you are not alone.

At Ruby Slippers we are receiving plenty of distress calls from professional gals in need of help, too busy to spend hours trawling the shops, needing to look professional, but not too formal or outdated.

We can help girls, don’t worry!

Here are some of our favourite corporate looks to inspire you:

We love a jumpsuit!

Forget boring work pants, go wide leg or cigarette:

Make your skirts a little more interesting:

Add a hint of animal print:

Don’t be afraid of pattern and prints:

Nail your look with a killer dress:

All these looks and more can be found on our Corporate Style Pinterest page.

We can put together a stylish, work wardrobe for you in a 3hr Personal Styling Session (yes, we can nail it in 3 hours!!) for $375.

Available 7 days a week in Sydney and Melbourne.
