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.

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:
Charles and Keith, $69
Marc Jacobs, at Barney New York, $400.95
Shoes of Prey at David Jones, $219
Witchery, $129.95
Wittner, $179.95
Nine West, $129.95
So ditch the heels, get some super sexy flats!

At Ruby Slippers we know getting the basics right are the building blocks to every perfect work wardrobe, cost per wear your office clothes need to be really earning their keep.
So, buy the right key pieces, and spend wisely.
To help – follow our Stylists picks to the 5 key pieces every corporate girl needs in their wardrobe!
1.The Shirt. It doesn’t need to be classic white, and it definitely doesn’t need to be a standard button up. Play around with a style, pattern and fabric that works for you. We love:
Witchery, $99.95. The Iconic, $59.95. Marcs, $179
2. The Blazer. How to smarten up an outfit in the blink of an eye…don’t underestimate the power of a blazer! Match the appropriate level of tailoring to your style and workplace, we love the grey jersey for a more casual look, right up to the structured suit jacket for super corporate style.
David Lawrence, $299. H&M, $39.95. Review, $159 (on sale)
3. The Bottoms. You may be thinking that’s a little vague…but at Ruby Slippers, we don’t believe in one size fits all..there is a bottom style for everyone, it’s just finding yours. Match the style to your body shape and opt for a neutral in navy, black or grey.
Great for inverted triangles…Ted Baker, $170 (on sale). Perfect for the hourglass, Sheike, $119.95. Great for pears, Veronika Maine, $219.
Pears – these are your pants, Carla Zampatti, $469. Apples, – these side fastening pants are fab, City Chic, $79.95, We LOVE these David Lawrence pants, perfect for rectangles, inverted triangles, hourglasses…any of our petite friends too, $129.
4. The Shoe. Opt for a heel height you can actually walk around the office all day in…your toes will thank you! Flats are totally fine for work, but opt for a pointy toe, and a patent design to ensure they look smart enough. For heel lovers, nude or black are great choices. If you want something a little different, opt for a colour that goes with most of the clothes in your wardrobe, so you get the most wear out of them.
Karen Millen, $225. Charles and Keith, $99. Shoes of Prey at DJ’s, $264. ASOS, $42.
5. The Bag. More is definitely more when it comes to your work bag. Cost per wear, you are going to get your money’s worth, you are ‘wearing’ this everyday, so spend the most you can afford…we give you our total permission!!
Shopbop, $595.94. Trenary, $149.25 (on sale). Sophie Hulme, $1038 Kate Spade, $298.

Since bringing a little person into this world, I’ve constantly questioned what the hell I did with all my time before I had kids?!
Did it really take me an hour to get ready for work? What was I doing? How did I not know I could shower, brush my teeth and shave my legs at the same time?
I never knew the true meaning of organised, tired, efficient or most importantly unconditional love, before having my bubba…I could potentially be running the country right now, if I had worked as efficiently pre kids as I do now!!!
One of the challenges that seems to go unnoticed is the gauntlet of getting to work, with a daycare/school stop on the way.
The SAS, Navy Seals et al need to listen up, because if they are looking to introduce a new training challenge I’d suggest a morning in the life of a working mum (or dad).
How about getting up at 5am (when you’ve had the obligatory nightly wake up from a small person), getting kids ready for school, lunches made, washing on, dishwasher on, out the door and sitting at your desk for 7.30am. With hair and make up done. It’s hardcore.
At Ruby Slippers we want to help make this mission as simple as possible, so here’s our Stylists guide to getting you out of the house and at your desk looking effortlessly chic.
Our top tips for busy, working Mums:
If you still need some help give us a call. We can help organise your wardrobe, photograph all your outfits and efficiently shop for what you really need. Packages start from $225, find out more here.
We know it’s a tough gig, so remember to high 5 all the other mumma’s struggle with the morning gauntlet.
