Tootsie Treat.. This seasons shoe style for Prom,Weddings or Girl’s Night Out

The sun has definitely made a break through this week so I think it’s a good idea to put “spring” in your step ! How do we do that I hear you ask ? It’s easy, over the last few days the WRUW team have been busy scouring the assortments of shoes on offer for S/S ‘10.

Wedges, Clogs, brightly coloured strappy high heeled sandals and flower finished evening shoes are massive this season and if your not ready to brave it with bare tootsie’s then team your wedges with silky spun socks for that geek glam feel seen on many a model during the catwalk parade..

Who bombed & Who bloomed on the red carpet at this year’s Oscars?

So I hear that the goodie bags alone are worth £80k.. their dresses on average worth near enough the same if not more and the jewellery well we won’t even go there.. so why is it some stylists and their celebs still get it wrong surely it’s not for the PR coverage ? First up the ones that wobbled on the carpet….

OK so Mariah Carey’s not known as a fashion front runner but this navy Valentino number looks too small for her and the brooch makes it look dated

Dated

Charlize Theron is the face of Dior and in previous years looks absolutely stunning on the red carpet but this Dior dress did nothing for her.. the colour is all wrong and those weird swirls on the bust?

Not on the money this year

I think the biggest surprise was our very own Sex in the City favourite Sarah Jessica Parker aka style guru. SJP knows how to work with her figure so why did she opt for the shapeless Channel dress that would be better suited more to statuesque with a fuller figure than skinny and small. Beautiful dress just not on Sarah..

SJP

The bloom..

On the other end of the style spectrum was Kate Winslet who looked classy in Yves Saint Laurent, the bodice was simple, cut beautifully and complemented her figure. The accessories kept to a minimum with a matching clutch and Tiffany & Co jewellery worth a couple of million. Wow !

YSL

Cameron Diaz delivered too, wearing a show stopping full length Oscar De La Renta gown encrusted in swarovski. Finished with a simple clutch, red lips and diamond drop earrings..

Red Carpet Princess

We loved Demi Moore’s fantastic thrill frill dress. It was youthful, fun and the fact that the Atelier Versace dress was the same colour as her glowing LA tan made her glow even “Moore” ..

A glow of ruffles

North West Women in Business Awards

It was an absolute pleasure to attend this year’s Northwest Women in Business Awards. It is a night that brings together the women that are behind some of the region’s most innovative and successful companies.

The awards help encourage more female entrepreneurs and WRUW were thrilled to be part of this exciting occasion. Set in the picturesque Ribby Village this black tie event was filled with sparkle and glitter, the dresses were truly fabulous !

The categories varied from Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award ( sponsored by John Lewis ) to the Northwest Business of the Year (sponsored by Barclay’s Wealth ). Even though the nominees had varied backgrounds they all shared stories of inspiration.
