Need some help finding the perfect pair of boots for Winter?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

They are the must purchase item for Autumn/Winter, you know you’ll wear them to death, so picking the right pair is a high pressured decision!

Do you go black or brown? Ankle boot, knee or over knee. Then there’s heel height!! Looking at the wall of choice in the store can be a little daunting, so let Ruby Slippers Stylist’s help you pick the perfect pair!

Our team of Stylist’s, have selected their boot of choice for this Autumn Winter:

Before making your important winter purchase…remember the key points to think about:

  • What do you want them for? Casual, work, going out?
  • What kind of heel height are you realistically looking for?
  • Looking at your winter wardrobe, will you wear them more with black coloured clothing or blues/greys?

Like a good game of  ‘Guess Who’, this should lead you to your perfect pair!

Happy boot shopping, and if you need our assistance we offer personal shopping and styling sessions in Sydney and Melbourne and can help find you the perfect pair, and the perfect winter wardrobe.

Christmas day is a marathon, not a sprint! One minute you’re drinking Prosecco at 6am (it’s socially acceptable on Christmas day) and watching children idyllically tearing open presents….. the next minute there is a queue for the bathroom, the turkey needs to go in the oven and for the 97th time, no, ‘I don’t know where the batteries are’!!

Maybe it’s the early morning drink, but suddenly time seems to go at light speed and before you know it, guests start arriving and you are still wearing your pajamas. Then someone breezes in looking like this…

What the Frock?

300-300Race fever is at an all time high….forget the horses, it’s all about the outfits.

Even the most low key affairs seem to be ramping up their style stakes! Maybe you were feeling blasé about the whole affair and were planning on pulling an old faithful from your wardrobe, but with Derby Day up first and Melbourne Cup less than a week away, suddenly ‘what to wear’ panic mode has kicked in.

The usual conundrum is do you want to spend $$ on an outfit you’ll wear once….maybe twice (if no one posts a picture of you in it on facebook!) Probably not, well fear not, we’ve got our Stylists top picks of gorgeous outfits under $100.

Brace yourself for bargain central……

The Monster that is Macy’s NYC!

/in /by

Question….what do you get if you cross a million square feet of retail space, two coffee shops, a bar, a pizza restaurant and a Ben & Jerry’s…apparently, the World’s largest department store, the hallowed ground that is Macy’s.

I recently found myself shopping in their enormous original flagship store in New York – it really is a marathon just getting round, but lived up to the hype. If you get a chance then definitely schedule a trip, even if it’s just to soak up the experience.  Top tip – head to the Visitors Centre for an International Shopper discount card (11% off everything) to make things even cheaper.

There really is something for every shape, budget, age… they even have a husband day care on the ground floor!  The downside is the lack of changing rooms – it’s always busy, even mid-week, so get there early, take food and water… and if you start hallucinating put the shopping down and put your feet up!!

If New York isn’t on the holiday list this year fear not, the American icon/ tourist destination that is Macy’s has now opened its doors much wider as it ships to Australia.

Just as the store makes it super easy to spend money, the web site works the same. They show prices in Australian dollars, have really reasonable shipping prices and each item has an option to leave feedback, so you can see what other people thought of it, we love this feature. Aussie retailers take note!

Enjoy shopping fans 🙂

Fashion Week hits Sydney

/0 Comments/in , /by

bw girlSydney has been whipped into a fashion frenzy this week as designers showcase their Summer 2012/2013 collections at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

The exciting outlook for our wardrobes is lots of bright neon colours, tuxedo style ladies suits & prints galore. The peplum dress seems to be sticking around for another season too – although anyone who reads trashy mags could have foreseen that as Kate Middleton seems to love this look and what she wears is what is hot at the moment!

Ruby Slippers was lucky enough to sit runway side and watch the We Are Handsome show. Their sexy, photo print swimming costumes looked just gorgeous and made me want to go home and throw away every piece of swim wear I own.

The shows continue until the end of the week, but the great news is the fashion doors open for everyone next week as Fashion Weekend starts in Sydney. There are LOADS of stands bursting with clothes, shoes, and accessories all at discounted prices. There is also a catwalk show, Beauty Hub and most importantly a bar….after a hectic day’s shopping you’ll need this!

You can get tickets online at the website.
