Thought it was time ( & the weather !) for a skirt Thought it was time ( & the weather !) for a skirt. Nabbed this gorgeous camel pleat skirt @cosstores_au a couple of seasons ago. It’s one of those pieces that goes from summer to winter and just works across the seasons For this warm weather: I’ve styled it with my new camel knit Tee @uniqloau , the tones/colours are so right together and look fab with strappy brown suede mules. Styling trick : the white bucket bag adds a third colour & breaks up the camel neutral tones. Another way I’ve worn the knit tee is with my fav barrel jeans @zara and brown toe flat sandals @theiconicau . The point ? All these pieces work effortlessly and easily together whether new and old or from different seasons. That’s because I think carefully about every new piece I buy & stick to a very strict colour palette. Discipline baby !! It’s about classic versatile colours updated in modern shapes . You won’t see kooky colours, frumpy florals or pesky prints here ! Too tricky, too aging , too troublesome, dated and they never look expensive unless they are ! The FiFi philosophy: get dressed effortlessly and easily in 5 minutes flat with your eyes closed 😜 I’ll add links and similar pieces over on @ltk.australia And always more on FiFi.com.au ! #fififavfinds #fififavfinds #ltkaustralia
Is it a coat ? Is it a trench ?! The woven twill Is it a coat ? Is it a trench ?! The woven twill fabric has the look of a coat but the belted silhouette and epaulettes says TRENCH to me. Who cares 😜 it’s a fabulous piece On SALE from The Frankie Shop @netaporter & it’s so right to wear now & all the way into winter. The thing is I don’t have anything like it in my wardrobe. OK, mmm maybe I have a million taupe /beige trenchcoats but this one is different as it’s not a raincoat. And that’s my story and I am sticking to it ! Haha. All I know is that If I’m going to spend money it’s going to be on coats , blazers ( outerwear !) or a designer handbag. Why ? You get more bang for your buck. And when you buy quality it can take the thrashing and the repeat wear. Which is why I pounced on this coat. What appeals to me ; * The luxe twill fabric, which works across the seasons ( I.e it’s not a heavy winter coat). * The chic versatile colour slides effortlessly into my current wardrobe. * The big shoulders are so cool. * Love the fact that I can wear it now & into autumn with white jeans & a white tee ( hint: when in doubt default to all white under everything !) then into winter over a cream knit with brown jeans and my leather pants. Swipez vous 👉 I’m wearing XS as it’s a very big cut ! I’ll post links in stories and head over to #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia where you can find and all sorts of other fabulous FiFi Fav finds @netaporter #ad #ltkaustralia #fififavfinds

The missing link in your wardrobe ? The ‘easyfiv The missing link in your wardrobe ? The ‘easyfive low rise classic pants’ @lululemonanz Almost jeans, almost pants they seem to suit any occasion. Day to evening. Work to weekends. Versatile with a capital V . Once you put them on you won’t want to take them off !   What’s to love : The colour ! It’s that stone/cream/concrete colour that is so chic & versatile. (called downtown tan). Throw any colour at these pants & they’ll be happy to be there. From white to cream to neutrals, brown, black or khaki ✔️ The feel !
Soft and so comfortable, stretchy. In a cotton blend twill which means they are hold their shape with a little structure ( as opposed to floppy)( no thank you !). They skim but don’t cling. And look sophisticated ✔️ The wide leg !
It’s a modern, longer, looser cut with a cool wide leg. Also love the mid/low rise waist, they’re neat around the hips with volume in the leg✔️ Styling tips: I’ve layered a white tee under the dark brown tee. Both from @lululemonausnz . It’s a nifty layering trick ✔️ Roll up the sleeves so you can see the white peeking out ✔️ It’s a clever way to add a third colour & lightens up the look. Or grab the lightweight funnel neck jacket @lululemonausnz Which is almost sheer. Add heels or flats . Done ✔️ In the pants I’m a wearing a size 30, regular, length 31 In the brown t shirts size 12 M and large in the jacket Links in stories and all my picks from this month @lululemonausnz @ltkaustralia #ad #shopwithfifi #lululemon #ltkaustralia fififavfinds
Did you nab one of these fabulous knit tees @uniql Did you nab one of these fabulous knit tees @uniqloau ? Hope you did ! The best tops; Both brown & the white are on high rotation in my wardrobe. On repeat ! What’s not to love about a tee that doesn’t really need ironing ? Gotta love that. What’s not to love about a tee that’s roomy but structured ( doesn’t cling, holds its shape!). The sleeves? Perfect. They’re loose & wide and stop at the elbow. Look generous and therefore chic and effortless. ( the aim of the game !). And can we talk about the length of the tee? Soooo good as you don’t need to tuck it in, (tho you could ) and it just sits in the right spot. The other most worn and loved piece in my wardrobe this season are these barrel leg pants also @uniqloau - I’ve got in 5 colours ! One for almost every day of the week . Haha These barrel pants & the knit tees are the missing basics you need in your life: updated classics in totally modern shapes ! Cannot recommend highly enough and of course the prices @uniqloau are ridiculous! I’m wearing a size Xlarge in the knit tee @uniqloau A size large in the barrel pants @uniqloau size 30 in the JW Anderson jeans @uniqloau Size 3 to 4 in the black shorts @morrisonclothing I’ll add links to stories & as always you can find everything over on @ltk.australia #uniqloau #updateclassics
Tops tops tops ! I’m always looking for fabulous Tops tops tops ! I’m always looking for fabulous tops. And I know you are too … Because tops are the key to tabletop dressing : It’s about keeping all the attention on top of the body such as a statement top (where everyone is looking ), and keeping wardrobe staples like pants or shorts in plain colours (under the table!) ( no one is looking there or at your knees 😜) This white top is a winner from @morrisonclothing . Cap sleeves ( love a wide extended shoulder) ✔️ A wrap tie front so it can as tight or loose as you like. This is good. ✔️ 100% cotton ✔️ I’m wearing the top with those fabulous slouchy choc brown pants ( I nabbed last year @theiconicau )(now on sale ), it’s a bit of summer with winter. It’s a bit of loose with tight . Another way to wear the top : Obviously with jeans, but it also works with these chic black Bermuda shorts , also in a soft 100 % cotton @morrisonclothing . Swipez vous ! Black & white is never boring when you update it to new modern shapes right ?! I’m wearing : size 3/4 in the top Size 4 in the short Size 42 in the pants I’ll post links in stories and as always over on LTK where you can shop these pieces & similar ! #gifted #fififavfinds #fifireport #summerlooks
FiFi philosophy! Don’t compromise looking modern FiFi philosophy! Don’t compromise looking modern by trying to look slim. You’ll end up looking neither. Meaning ? Time and again I hear women say about slouchy clothes “I can’t wear that, it makes me look bigger”. So? Who cares if you look bigger ? Looking slim is not the end game! And when you think about it the word “ flattering” is really just another word for slim right ? Personally I’d rather look modern & chic than worry about whether something will make me look slimmer. This is what happens : when you try to style something in an effort to make it flattering /slimming quite often ( not always !) it will not look modern. And you won’t look smaller either. You end up in no man’s land looking neither slim nor modern. My advice : own it & just wear the damn fashion ! When you start trying new shapes & silhouettes your eye changes and suddenly you get used to new proportions. It’s about updating the classics and embracing the fashion & the new ways of styling. Whatever age or shape you are. The thing is : ALL those ridiculous rules about dressing for your shape are all based on the idea of looking slimmer ! And the problem with those so called “figure fixer” rules? They CHANGE. Because fashion changes. ( that’s why we love it) Please do not hold on to those old fashioned rules about what suits you ! They’re not set in stone. No wonder you’re struggling to get dressed! In my opinion looking slimmer is not the aim. Looking modern & chic is what I’m interested in. Right now it’s about : Baggy + baggy = Yes Baggy + neat = cool Neat + neat = wrong Of course getting dressed is about feeling great so please wear what you feel good in ! For me I FEEL great in Farshun & feel modern in new silhouettes whether they’re slimming or not . So please stop compromising looking modern by trying to look slim : you’ll end up looking neither. Let me know if that resonates with you ! #shopwithfifi #fifireport #updatebasics #buildawardrobe
It might be sunny out there but I am already think It might be sunny out there but I am already thinking about the next season ahead… There are a few standout pieces to invest in for winter. But the most important item for next season? A leather bomber jacket. In choc brown. Oooh la la I love it ! Talk about instant wardrobe updater. Nabbed this fabulous pleather jacket @netaporter and it’s a winner ! (It’s on sale , selling out so be quick). Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in shopping right now for any pieces for winter ?! What are you looking for ?! Or do you still want more summery ideas from me ?! Answers below please 👇 Why you want this fabulous jacket ; * It’s work to weekend : Looks casual with jeans & ballet flats but totally chic with a skirt & heels. * The cost per wear is super tremendous ! * The sleeves are major and give BIG shoulders & I am here for it. * The high strand up funnel neck collar is the chicest : always been my favourite ( it’s trending) (if that means anything?!) . * Love the rib knit detail on the collar, cuffs and hem. Gives it a sporty feel. * Fabulous colour : Olive brown is incredibly versatile and will go with all FiFi approved colours. Styling tips: * Style it with high waist pieces so they meet and have a party in the middle (high waist skirt, jeans and slouchy pants & jeans ). Shows off your waist , even when you don’t have one , creating shape in otherwise oversized pieces. * I’ve styled it over a white tee but in the chilly weather I will layer it over a knit . * Think three colours on the body so white, grey and choc for example. * Would I wear this jacket over a dress? Yes, probably with a fit n flare dress in the same tones , with knee high boots. I am wearing large, it’s big , could almost have got a medium ! I’ll post links in stories and of course as always you can shop my look and other similar pieces @netaporter @ltk.australia

Jeans & T shirt. Classics that you can wear forev Jeans & T shirt. Classics that you can wear forever. Wrong ! All classics - from jeans to T shirts, trenchcoats & blazers - actually date. They have a use by date. You can’t keep wearing them forever. The cut, the shoulder, lapel, collar, waist , the shape of the sleeve, the length : it all dates ! Solution ? Update these wardrobe staples into new, modern shapes. ( every few years !) That’s if you want to look modern. Chic. Cool. Effortless. Hint: you do ! What’s new in a white tee ? It’s loose, oversized, roomy with a square cut. The fabric can be quite structured ( doesn’t cling, holds its shape!). The sleeves are wide and long. This one is a fab length, you don’t need to tuck it in . This knit Tee is also in brown - swipe What’s new in jeans ? These jeans are the best cut ! I ordered them thinking “ I do not need another pair of jeans” But when I put them on ; fabulous! A straight leg is looking cool right now, with a neat high waist. Love this blue wash. Longer length. ( but don’t worry wide leg & baggy jeans are still so right ). Both these pieces are @uniqloau ( & the barrel leg pants !) and they are the missing basics you need in your life ! * Not a sponsored post, just great affordable pieces I found. I’m wearing a size large in the knit tee. And size 30 in the JW Anderson jeans in colour 63. I’ll add links to stories & as always you can find everything over on @ltk.australia #uniqloau #updateclassics
It’s that time of year. You are loving the warm It’s that time of year. You are loving the warm weather and hot summer days. And you have that wardrobe sorted. But you’re thinking about buying new things – gorgeous winter clothes – but it’s still months till you can start wearing them right? You have an itch to scratch and want to buy something new. You NEED something to lift your spirits, to spark some joy. ( God we sure do need a little of that in this crazy world 😳) I get it ! So what to buy now? It’s about buying something you can wear right now but also wear into autumn, into next season. You want something that will give you mileage, great cost per wear, and have some longevity. The trick : look for trans seasonal fabrics ( linen ? No ! Cotton, Yes! Satin yes ! Wool twill even better !. ) and easy wearable updated classics that will work all year ( almost). Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop the 10+keys pieces to buy now, wear now and into winter…all under $200. OMG 😜 ⬇ https://liketk.it/5QmY3
A puff sleeve top. A little bit dramatic, a littl A puff sleeve top. A little bit dramatic, a little bit laid-back Perfect to wear with white baggy jeans or A line skirt. When you want to be a little bit dressy but still low key.✔️ When you want to look a little bit fashiony, but still casual ✔️ When it’s too hot for a jacket but you still want to look polished ✔️ When you want to cover your arms but not look frumpy ✔️ Styling tips: * Beige + white = match made in heaven. * Make sure your white jeans updated into a new baggy shape so they look slouchy. And cool. These are old @zara * Brown suede sandals tone in, but don’t match * A brown shoulder bag with interesting texture will pull the outfit together and finish the look * it’s table top dressing at its best ! I nabbed this fabulous top last year @theiconicau ( did you nab it too? ) & there is good news: I’ve found lots of similar tops with puff sleeves from luxe to less & they’re all on my LTK page. Link in bio , in stories or shop straight from the app #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia #fifireport #tops
Black & white ! The trick with wearing plain bloc Black & white ! The trick with wearing plain block colours? With wearing black & white ? Exaggerated shapes! The silhouette is what’s making a statement. you’re getting your fashion edge from the styling and interesting cut. Because you sure ain’t getting it from kooky colours. I’m talking about a white blazer and black pants : two pieces that could be boring and a snoozefest if not updated into new modern shapes . The white jacket : has big sharp shoulders & a strong architectural cut. Anything with big shoulders is cool The pants : slouchy & balloon leg ( loving the sporty vibe of balloon pants atm) ( so this is NOT a tight short shrunken blazer , & NOT skinny short pants)( so out they will be back in soon)(joking not joking ) You can also wear the blazer casually with jeans and slouchy camel pants & mules. And the balloon pants can be dressed down & also look great with flat sandals and a sporty jacket. Swipez vous ! Invest in updated staples like this and you’ll double your outfits because they instantly joosh up everything you own ! These are both pieces from last year so I’ll post similar over on @ltkaustralia #fififavfinds #fifiphilosophy #fifireport
