All the pieces I am lusting after this week ( & you will too!) #FiFiapproved.

This season is FiFi approved !
Sometimes there are seasons and fashion trends I am not keen on at all. It can be a struggle to find anything I really love and want to buy ( Those winters of hot pink, bright colours, pesky prints and frumpy florals, that Gucci crazy style eeek !).
But this year I am beside myself with excitement as there are so many chic, grown up and modern pieces to buy.
The shops are bursting with so many updated classics in all my favourite colours : Fabulous.
Life so much easier when you have a choice of lovely clothes to choose at any price for me.
But for some of you I bet you find it confusing right ?
Sometimes it makes it harder when you are overwhelmed with choice.
What to buy ? Will you get the mileage? What to invest in?
Never Fear FiFi is here : My philosophy is about building a wardrobe and get great cost per wear.
Keeping that in mind here are the pieces that have caught my eye this week in no particular order : why you want it and how to wear it.

A barn jacket :
This one from Mango is for those who might not want so oversized.I would not spend a lot on a Barn jacket so this one is good as is the one from Uniqlo. Go for a big size. Wear with as you would a blazer so with a chic pencil skirt like this fabulous one from Henne or with leather pants. Barn jackets need heels and sophisticated pieces around them to look edgy not sloane rangerereeee. ! Oh and at Mango it 30% off so check it out !

A pleather jacket
I bought it ! Can’t wait to wear it. So while you’re in Mango and it’s 30% off you better nab this pleather short jacket :
It looks expensive ( like leather) it’s a great cut: like a crop trench or peacoat. You wear it undone and it still sits across hiding the ‘situation” muffin. ( I should know). It’s the best style of leather jacket.  Wear with jeans ( duh!) but also with flared skirts and baggy camel chinos. It’s just chicer than a tough biker jacket .

A beige blazer
If you have a camel blazer already and you want something a little more refined and chicer , darker then this one at H&M is a great buy . Double breasted. Great fabric. Chic colour , not camel, not brown, but just as versatile. I’d wear with leather pants or white jeans with loafers and a knit ! Obviously with a flirty skirt and barrel jeans. 

A brown coat
Loving the idea of a dark brown long coat. Love this one I nabbed from Netaporter . It’s just a little different from a camel coat ( and I have a camel cape!), extra long with big shoulder pads and the coolest thing you ever saw. Talk about instant wardrobe updater. Just throw it over everything and you will look super fab. It’s a great price now 15% off at Net a porter . As an alternative I spied this fabulous coat in DJ’s from Assembly label and a great price and the chicest colour . BUY XL so it looks more fashion

A black skirt.
It’s a winner. In that fabulous fabric that holds you in but doesn’t cling. Flattering cut ( slimming is not the end game but this is a good shape). It’s fit n flare. So it skims over the bumps but creates a waist. A black skirt is pivotal to your wardrobe. Why ? It’s a hard worker. Goes with everything. IT’s table top dressing at its best ! Keep the attention on top and your simple key pieces like black skirts on the bottom  ( hidden under the table !). Wear with knee high boots. With white pumps, with loafers. Go up a size so it doesn’t dig in the waist. Or buy here at Scanlan Theodore

Chinos
You need cotton wide leg chinos. They are the go anywhere pants ! With a knit and sneakers. With a lace top and heels for evening. With a white tee and long coat. These are on sale at Oroton. The best cut, great fabric. Go up a size.
While you’re in Oroton you had better buy this bag as well.  Such a winner! It’s a great colour and it’s big! Remember this season is about big everything : Bags, coats, sweater and jeans!

Rib knit
This rib knit is fabulous : I have it from a few years ago in black and the brown. The perfect underneath layering knit. Because it’s ribbed it means it doesn’t cling as you would imagine. But buy XL as I did. Wear under all jackets and coats. And grab this bag while you’re there Uniqlo quilted bag.( No I did not choose that pink but scroll to the other colours under it. (Pink + FiFi = non!).

Brown suede flats:
Yes, I am loving brown suede. Best in bags and jackets but how fabulous are these flats in this gorgeous chocolate? Love them with cropped barrel jeans or chinos. They will works with white jeans, barrel jeans, your new brown jeans and of course chic slouchy grey pants. The other shoes I am loving are these two tone loafers! Like white shoes …but not.

Bermuda shorts :
Shorts ! Yes, you wore them this summer with heels. You didn’t ? Oh …You will next summer ! But they also look great in winter with knee high boots too . With loafers while you can bare your legs. I’d nab these shorts now in black or brown. Love the suede blazer too at Dissh .
