Where is winter 😂 ?? I NEED to wear my new ch Where is winter 😂 ?? I NEED to wear my new choc brown knit @netaporter . It’s the matching knit to the fabulous long choc brown coat from The Frankie Shop ( the other piece I’m DYING to wear !) which I nabbed a few weeks ago also @netaporter Good news : this knit is 15% off @netaporter Just use code APAC15 at checkout. You’re welcome. Love this knit for a few reasons but what drew me to it apart from the colour of course was the fact it has shoulder pads ( & you know how I love a shoulder pad ). How cool is that. It’s one of those knits you can wear on its own with jeans, with a skirt or with slouchy pants: it doesn’t need a jacket to help it make a statement. You just throw it on and out the door . But when it does get cold it will be absolutely perfect under the choc brown coat : a colour match in heaven ! Swipez vous Styling tips: * Try a front tuck with high waist and/or barrel jeans ( this knit loves any shade of denim). * Or wear the knit long and loose and hanging out over a pleat skirt swipe 👉👉👉 * Love brown & grey together. The knit is perfect with my fav Frankie Shop slouchy grey pants, then pull on white shoes & any brown bag . * Try the sweater over a blue shirt - I pulled out the cuffs and it’s a sneaky trick pic #2 * It’s 90% merino & 10 % cashmere * I’m wearing a size small as it’s pretty big ! * I moved the shoulder pads a little so they sit higher on my shoulders. I’ll add the link to stories and as always everything is over @ltkaustralia #ad #collab #netaporter #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi
A FiFi philosophy: Update the classics. Quite oft A FiFi philosophy: Update the classics. Quite often the classics that are the first things to date. They never last forever. Sorry to break the news ! Your trench. Blazer. Jeans. White tee. Little black dress and white shirt - all these wardrobe staples that need updating. The cut, the arm hole, the length, the lapel and neckline ? They ALL change over the years. Suddenly they can look dated. (Yes, even a Chanel jacket & a Burberry trench will date!). That’s why when you put them on you FEEL daggy. You look in the mirror. You know something is wrong but can’t put your finger on it . These are classics right ? So what can it be? So you try to joosh up your wardrobe with frumpy florals, pesky prints, kooky colours, silly scarves & beads & belts & silly shit like that - WRONG! Aging, never versatile. Or chic. And you fluff around , wasting time & money every morning trying to work out what to wear. The solution? Build a wardrobe of pieces you love ! Invest in classic colours and wardrobe staples but UPDATED into new, modern shapes . Remember the fashion edge actually comes from dramatic shapes NOT crazy colors or frumpy florals 😎. Invest early in the trends and then get years of wear. That’s the secret to effortless dressing. You’ll buy fewer better things. Get serious mileage from your wardrobe. And get dressed in 5 minutes flat: with your eyes closed ! It’s FIFi approved : a philosophy that works. I should know , I practice what I preach 😎 Want to look best for your age? Yes, please ! Sign up to The FiFi Report , my weekly newsletter at www.FiFi.com.au and also don’t forget to follow me (username shopwithfifi ) on @ltk.australia. It’s easy, you can shop straight from the @ltk.australia app. Links are in the bio 👆 #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi #fifireport #fashionforcasting #agelessdressing #updateclassics #shopwithfifi
Let’s talk belts. Why? Because accessories can m Let’s talk belts. Why? Because accessories can make or break an outfit . And belts can be a sneaky secret weapon in effortless dressing. That’s because a belt can work just like jewelry. Can be glamorous but somehow a little more low key and minimal. Which I like. It’s like wearing jewelry but not too flashy or over top right ? A designer belt works wonders in your wardrobe: adds a farshun edge, pulls an outfit together & elevates the lewk. You can use it to add colour and texture and take your outfit to the next level. Oh and they can keep your pants up too ! Haha. The YSL hardware logo acts like a piece of jewellery. Sometimes that’s all you need. Not too dressed up. Or over accessorized. It’s a little hint of suede ( huge story right now in fashion ) ( if you didn’t know !) & the all important touch of designer luxe. I’ve been loving this @ysl tan suede belt because it jooshes up everything! From jeans to chinos, shorts to classic pants or even cinched in over a sweater . The best thing about investing in a designer belt : you can wear it ALL year, whatever the season , whatever the weather , wherever you’re going. Day to evening. Work to weekend. Summer to winter. And if that isn’t the definition of fabulous cost per wear I don’t know what is ! This fabulous YSL belt i nabbed last year from @netaporter and it’s back in stock ! I’ll post the link in stories & as always so much more at fifi.com.au #Shopwithfifi #ltkaustralia #yslbelt #fifireport
It’s Autumn ! As much as I love summer I’m dyi It’s Autumn ! As much as I love summer I’m dying to wear winter clothes. So I’m kind of mixing it up depending on the temperature. The best news is that it’s jeans & T shirt weather. (With the occasional crop trench & blazer !) It’s cool enough for jeans right now which is great because I love wearing barrel leg jeans especially in brown. (Did you manage to nab these ones before they sold out @hm . They’re so good !)( add yr name to be notified) And this fabulous white tee ? It’s a winner ! And finally back in stock @lululemonausnz It’s organic cotton with a tiny bit of elastane so it’s incredibly soft and easy to wear. The cut is sooo great : slouchy but not overwhelming. Skims but doesn’t cling. Easy to tuck in. The roomy sleeves give good arms. The neckline sits so well (FiFi approved!) It’s the perfect tee to wear right now on its own and then later as a layering piece under a blazer or coat. Styling tips: Roll up the sleeves a little of the tee, looks styled & polished . Add pointy white shoes for instant cool . A designer belt @ysl @netaporter elevates the lewk & adds a contrast to the jeans. Grab your favorite bag , couldn’t decide which was best , the brown @gucci bag or suede slouch @arketofficial Remember shoes & bags don’t need to match … Done ! I’m wearing a size large in the tee and size 42 in jeans I’ll post links in stories! #shopwithfifi #simplechic #fifireport #hmjeans #lululemonausnz #arketbag #yslbelt
A crop trench & wide leg jeans. What’s not to lo A crop trench & wide leg jeans. What’s not to love about those two pieces together ?! Easy, relaxed, low key dressing .. The crop trench ? It needs to be an exaggerated cut : you want big sleeves , an oversized cut , it is NOT a neat tight jacket. It should have swing or volume . Short is good, it works with high waist jeans & pants because they meet in the middle ! A self belt on the jacket is good but not compulsory. This is from @acnestudios about 5 years old and one of my favorites jackets ever! So versatile, can be casual on weekends but I also wear it out at night with a chic blouse, slouchy pants & heels. It’s a transeasonal piece so I’ll wear it over a white tee now but later in winter over a knit with leather pants & loafers. The jeans ? These are a few season old from @cosstores_au . Such a great buy. The side pockets & flat front make them more like denim pants - a bit dressier than your usual jeans. This is good. Day to evening in a flash ! Love the wide leg and the floppy light denim. Great while the weather is still warm. They work with both heels or flats. styling tips Think three colours on the body : denim, camel & white . Pull on your fav white tee and white mules, grab a tan bag and you’re good to go. I’ve been banging on about a crop trench and why you should buy one for years - and they’re still so right ! Good work if have already invested in one. If not keep calm : I’ve had a lovely time hunting down the best crop trenches at every price as well as the best wide leg jeans. Hit the link in bio to head to my #shopwithfifi page @ltk.australia to shop my picks of the best crop trench coats at every price. #croptrenchcoats #Ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi #luxetoless
It’s a barn jacket ! A mix between a peacoat , It’s a barn jacket ! A mix between a peacoat , utility jacket, parka and a Barbour. And it’s the coolest piece in your new season wardrobe… It’s not a blazer but just as versatile, it’s not a parka but just as casual. It feels new, looks low key & is totally practical too. I’m a sucker for anything utility, anything with pockets. Anything that you can just toss on. And instantly look cool. So you can’t afford @prada or @therow ? Please don’t cry : grab this fabulous men’s jacket @uniqloau . It is called a utility blouson and you need to get the colour “brown” ( surprise!) and in a size large. Yes, it’s menswear but it’s best to go big or go home . That’s because you need an exaggerated shape so it looks fashiony. So you don’t look like the Queen at Balmoral. Or you’re handing out prizes for best cakes at the local show. (Nothing wrong with either but my aim here is to help you look fabulously chic and cool). How to style it ? Over a white tee in autumn , over a knit in winter. Think about wearing it with heels and a pencil skirt: it’s the contrast and juxtaposition of looks that make it cool. I’ve also styled it with black barrel leg pants (thank you @lululemonausnz) and with wide leg jeans @cosstores_au . I’ll wear in winter with pleather pants & with a pleather skirt & knee high boots. Styling tips: Undo and then turn back the cuffs to show off the cord lining. Push up the sleeves . It has a khaki check lining so it’s a jacket that will work with all the colours of your wardrobe. Get a big size so it looks cools and slouchy. You could even belt it in over a pencil skirt. Prada showed it with sheer skirt and black pointy heels . Just sayin: it’s about wearing it in unexpected ways . I’ll post the link in stories! If you can’t see yourself wearing a barn jacket then head to FiFi.com.au where you can shop my picks of the best shorter jackets #shopwithfifi #uniqloau #barnjacket #fifireport
A choc brown suede jacket is PIVOTAL to your wardr A choc brown suede jacket is PIVOTAL to your wardrobe this season. And white jeans: of course !
Who said they were just for summer ?
Keep wearing them straight into chilly Autumn. 
They love grey knits and tees. They love a choc brown jacket ( especially in delicious suede) and they adore camel and black. Which is ALL the colours I have in my wardrobe. haha Styling tips: * Go for baggy or straight jeans, barrel or wide leg: both are right. Long is good. Crop jeans above the ankle are fine ( it’s the in-between non length that’s trouble!) * White shoes lighten the look and extend the white of the jeans. * Love the idea of a grey tee as it is NOT too matchy match with white jeans : A little bit of grey adds depth. * Tuck in your grey tee or knit. ( a white tee or choc brown knit though would both work here too). * Belt optional: Just because you have belt loops doesn’t mean you need to wear a belt. * Make sure your outerwear is making a statement: A divine choc brown jacket is the stand out piece. * Love the idea of matching your fabulous suede bag to your jacket …( but not your shoes)(it’s either bag OR shoe) * Add brown sunglasses to go back with the delicious brown  ( black sunglasses here? Not wrong but brown sunglasses take it to the next level and finish the lewk). * Stick to 3 colours on the body: grey, white and chocolate. All so chic together. * FiFi philosophy: Keep the styling simple, the only thing classic here are the colours : it’s modern updated shapes that make the fashion statement. Everybody keep calm; I tracked down lots of brown suede blazers ( plus jeans, bags & shoes ) at every price from luxe to less ! Head to my shop @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi
A fabulous winter coat to invest in right now ! ( A fabulous winter coat to invest in right now ! ( and it’s 15% off at @netaporter : see code below) Yes, I know it’s still warm and summery out there. But we need to think about these things. It’s called planning your wardrobe. Being a conscious consumer, thinking about what you need for the coming season. Working out the gaps. Working out what you’ll get the most wear from, the most mileage , the best cost per wear. When I spied this gorgeous coat @netaporter I knew it was a winner : * Love the fabulous rich chocolate brown colour . * Big wide shoulders - super big ! * Double breasted ( when you wear it open & undone - who wears a coat done up?)(except if you live in London!) * It’s extra long which I love (I can’t wear flats so I might get it taken up a fraction)( then I can wear with skirts the same length). * The fabric is a lovely soft wool blend. * It’s 15% off @Netaporter, how good is that ? Just apply code APAC15 at checkout . * I’m wearing a size Medium & it’s huge ! Go down a size. * Link in stories ! Styling tips: * wear with barrel jeans in every colour : grey, brown & white. Yes, blue jeans will look great too. In winter I’ll wear this coat with leather pants & skirts. * Layer the same colour knit under the coat for chic tonal dressing. * Just try a simple white tee or sweatshirt. * Think 3 colours on the body : so keep the tones of brown happening with a brown belt & any brown/tan/beige bag * And white shoes, always white shoes: done ! * Remember default to all white under everything and you can’t go wrong. 15% Off New Season with code APAC15 at checkout. Exclusions Apply - See T&Cs @netaporter I’ll add the link to stories !

Gotta love a wrap skirt! A wrap midi skirt . A wra Gotta love a wrap skirt! A wrap midi skirt . A wrap midi skirt in beige. With an elastic waist … Hellooo what more do you want ? ( apart from world peace !) This little number : It’s @lululemonausnz. It’s like the sister skirt to daydrift pants . Which we all loved right?! What’s to love : * The pockets : if god was a woman there’d be pockets in everything! * The cut ; it’s slightly Aline so it’s not straight up and down. * The wrap: makes it more casual. It sits neatly across so when you walk you don’t flash anything. They call it a ‘faux wrap’ as it’s stitched in place. * The length: it’s very long , chic length. * The colour: it’s FiFi approved . The beige will work with a black tank or a white tee swipe 👉👉👉 * The details: it has a little drawstring waist if you need to cinch it in. And it’s machine washable. Thank you 🙏 My other picks this month @lululemonausnz The crew neck white tee : tuck it in & roll up the sleeves for a bit of joosh. The sweatshirt : it’s really just a long sleeve tee for autumn . How good is that ? I’m wearing it with brown barrel jeans but also with the brown satin leggings. In winter I’ll just toss a big brown coat over the top and pull on white loafers. I’m wearing size large in the skirt & could easily fit into a medium. In the white tee I’m wearing a size 12 and the sweat shirt a size 10. Now you can steal my style : I’ll add the links in stories ! #shopwithfifi #lululemon #partner #shopwithfifi collab #ltkaustralia @ltk.australia @lululemonausnz
Loving a sleeveless vest at the moment. (Actually Loving a sleeveless vest at the moment. (Actually I think it should be called a sleeveless jacket 😜?!) It’s one of the pieces that works so well going into this autumn weather : it’s really a blazer without sleeves ! What to love? You get the structure ( hello shoulder pads !) and tailoring (longer length!) of a blazer but the cool & ease of a sleeveless top. You feel polished and pulled together but you’re not dying of heat exhaustion! This is good right ?! It’s chic and casual at the same time. Perfect to wear with white barrel jeans ( or any jeans !). I’ve also worn the vest layered over a white tank with grey slouchy pants , black pleather shorts and baggy camel pants. Swipe 👉👉👉 Styling tips: * Stick to classics colours but make it modern by choosing updated pieces in new shapes like a vest, barrel jeans , round toe mules. * white shoes are good here as they continue the colour of the jeans & lighten the lewk. * Turn up the cuffs of the jeans so you flash a bit of ankle - seems to work with the mules. * A black bag works back with the black vest and you can change your shoes from white to black. * The grey /camel pants add a third colour * Can’t wait to wear this vest into winter with a full midi skirt ( over a sweater) as I see on the runways of Milan & New York (last week!) that a long blazer over a floaty skirt is one of the silhouettes of the season.

It’s that time of year.
You’re not quite out It’s that time of year.
You’re not quite out of summer clothes yet not into cold weather dressing.
It’s that inbetween time when you are hankering for something new & exciting ( right ?!!) but not yet wearing seriously winter pieces. So it’s time for FiFi’s annual guide to denim and camel ! It’s a post I like to do around this time every year ( if you haven’t noticed!)
And why not?
A wardrobe of denim, navy and lots of camel and choc brown is what is so chic, so right & so right now. 
It’s what I personally want to wear : in fact it’s actually what I DO wear .
Trans seasonal. Lowkey. Chic. totally versatile.
 The trick ? As always is about updating the classics into modern shapes and trying new ways of styling. You might have a lot of these pieces so just invest in a pair of new shape jeans /baggy pants. one single item will update all your other pieces . Invest in camel or choc brown accessories, pull on denim , a neutral knit and maybe some navy and a stripe. Make sure you have three colours on the body (makes life so easy) two is too matchy match and more than three? Way too hard to pull off (who has the time?!). Choose a mix of trans-seasonal pieces you can wear now and then right into winter. Here’s my pick of the best denim, camel and chocolate pieces you need right now ! Check out the link in bio & just head to FiFi.com.au to find out why you need it and how to wear it !

Can you wear a chocolate brown suede bag in summer Can you wear a chocolate brown suede bag in summer ? Of course you can ! I snapped up this fabulous suede bag @arketofficial about a year ago when I first sniffed out the trend of chocolate brown suede. …good news : it’s now back in stock ! I needed a bag to take on my trip to Paris & Provence last May & as soon as I saw this one I knew it was perfect for my trip. And it was ! I also knew I needed a bag to wear all winter , into this summer and now of course this coming season . What’s to love ? The colour of course : the chicest chocolate brown. It works with everything in my wardrobe… summer to winter 👉Swipe The shape: casual yet chic great for every day. Slouchy shapes are so versatile because they look casual but the suede makes it sophisticated. The size : you can fit ALOT in there so it’s great for travel but also not too big for going out for dinner. The less you put in , the smaller it looks ! The strap : you can wear it across body as well as hanging from your shoulder. How much do we love hands free ?? Also wear it tucked under your arm. The zip: it’s imperative for travel right ? You need a bag that zips up for security. I love this bag so much I got it in black too! Tip: I sprayed it with waterproofing and brush every now and then to give it a joosh. I’m wearing : Frankie shop white tee @netaporter , khaki ( old) chinos @cosstores_au , white slides old @tonybianco I’ll add the link in my stories : but I’ve also found so many chic choc brown suede bags from luxe to less : skip over to @ltk.australia to shop my picks . So many good ones at all prices ! #shopwithfifi #ltkaustralia #fifireport #simplechic #chocbrownsuedebag #arket #luxetoless
