A little bit of colour ! A touch of orange goes a A little bit of colour ! A touch of orange goes a long way right ? So good with camel, neutrals & white. Feels fresh. Try layering an orange tank under a camel fleece lined jacket with white slouchy pants all @lululemonausnz Or swap out the white pants for brown leggins & sneakers for a more casual sporty look . Where would I wear this ? In Sydney (or Noosa !) when it’s chilly in the morning but then warms up in the day. When would I wear this ? When I want add a pop of colour to my neutrals. It’s a trans seasonal look ! Let’s talk about this fabulous jacket @lululemonausnz It’s so warm, fleece lined ✔️ Water resistant ✔️ Puff sleeves add a fashion edge ✔️ The funnel neck is chic AND warm✔️ Elastic hem & cuffs ✔️ Which means you can push up the sleeves,they stay put ✔️ I’m wearing a large in the jacket: it’s big so go down a size if you prefer neater look . I’m wearing a size large in the orange organic cotton tank @lululemonausnz and it’s very roomy & long : I’ve tucked it in: go down a size Shop these pieces @ltk.australia and #shopwithfifi all my favorite pieces this month @lululemonausnz #LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #lululemonauz
Black ! It’s always chic. And with so much brown Black ! It’s always chic. And with so much brown & camel around suddenly it feels cool again. And so easy ! The trick ? Update to new modern shapes. A high collar bomber jacket, leather midi skirt & barrel jeans. (You can’t just pull out any old black piece and think it’s right : Mais non ! Black can date so quickly ) Any black piece you buy this season needs to be in exaggerated , modern shape to make a statement (because you sure ain’t getting the fashion edge from the colour 😜) Also look for black with texture ! shine ! embellishment ! Something exciting happening: leather, satin or sequins. Head to toe all black works so well especially when there is something leather like this A line skirt with a sharp shoulder bomber jacket. And grey jeans are a perfect match with ( my favorite ) black blouson @uniqloau Accessories are key : black sock boots & I love this fabulous black shoulder bag I nabbed in the sale @davidjonesstore I’ll post links in stories of the available pieces to shop and you’ll find similar over at @ltkaustralia #LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #fififavfinds #shopwithfifi
It’s coat weather ! Only too happy to pull out my It’s coat weather ! Only too happy to pull out my winter clothes. Must be THE only good thing about this cold snap🥶right? Here’s a few of my favorite coats, some new, some old but all of them have one thing in common ; long & oversized . Ok that’s two but you get the idea 😜. If you are buying a new coat this season this is what to look; Go for camel, brown or grey. khaki is good too. Avoid black as your first choice. Outerwear needs to make a statement and black won’t give you bang for your buck. ( I have a few black coats that I still wear : not wrong just not worth spending money on IMO). Look for double breasted or single breasted , but make sure when it’s undone it sits across the body. You want good strong shoulders and a roomy loose cut. And make sure it’s longer in length (over the knee length) : in fact the longer the better. Hope this gives you some ideas on styling and how to wear a long coat this season . I’ll add links to the coats available now in stories plus lots of similar coats , all FiFi approved over on @ltk.australia

Can we talk about this fab quilted jacket @lululem Can we talk about this fab quilted jacket @lululemonausnz I absolutely love it ! * The colour : it’s a delicious olive khaki with a hint of brown that is soooo chic. * It’s lightweight but 900 down fill so it’s snug & warm but doesn’t weigh you down. * Light enough to layer easily under a coat if you need to. * It zips up to a cool funnel neck ( so right this season) ( and warm). * sleeves are curved & voluminous so gives it a fashion edge. * Love the elastic cuffs and hem ( you can tuck it under to sit on the waist) * The colour of the zip matches the jacket ( so irksome when it is brassy right?) * It’s so light it packs away into the cute little matching bag that clips in the pocket. Makes it perfect for travel ! How to wear it? For a casual look 👉👉throw the bomber jacket with brown Align leggins ( with pockets!)& track top @lululemonausnz For extra warmth I’ve layered it over a Nulu long sleeve tee ( incredibly soft and super warm !) @lululemonausnz BTW these @lululemonausnz running shoes are the MOST comfortable sneakers known to mankind (OMG soo incredibly spongy !) 
For a more elevated look the bomber is a match made in heaven with my slouchy olive pants & white heels. 
fashion tip: I’ve tossed an orange knit around my waist. It’s all the colour you need & adds a little fashion edge & breaks up the monotone Let me know in the comments if you want to see more casual pieces like this for winter ? And what you’re interested in seeing more of here ! I’ll add links in stories and as always everything is linked over on @ltlaustralia and on my blog head to link in bio #fififavfinds #lululemonanz #partner #ltkaustralia
Can we talk about this fabulous bag? (and all the Can we talk about this fabulous bag? (and all these pieces I really love wearing. On repeat.) It’s called the Sloane (large) tote cross body in choc brown @shopvestirsi & I love it 😍 It’s a fabulous rich chocolate colour ✔️ It’s a cool modern shape✔️ It has two different length straps - a shorter shoulder strap or you can wear it long ✔️ It squishes into a slouch style so it looks more casual rather than too “done” & structured ✔️ It’s roomy, fill with everything (!) but not toooo oversized ✔️ 100 % leather ✔️ Comes in a smaller size too if you prefer ✔️ I’m wearing ( links in stories) * The fabulous dark denim barrel neuw jeans @davidjonesstore in size 30/30 * Brown bomber jacket @aerelabel , it’s lined so it’s warmer than you think- in size 12 on sale! * Brown cashmere knit @assemblylabel - tones in so well with jacket , great cut , in size 12 👉Swipez vous * cream kitten Aeyde heels, sooo comfortable @netaporter * Cool brown oversized sunglasses @zara Styling tips: Surround your jeans or pants with different tones of the same colour so I’m wearing all the various tones of brown from knit to sunglasses ✔️ The white shoes add a third colour and lighten the lewk ✔️ A shorter jacket like a bomber looks modern, and a good way to create shape when pieces are feeling oversized ✔️ Note: this is a good length for barrel jeans - not too long, I’d err on shorter so you see ankle ✔️ FiFi philosophy: update the classics like jeans into a new shape such as a barrel leg ( you can’t wear the same old classics forever, they have a use by date !) ✔️ All links in stories and I’ll post these any similar over @ltk.australia #gifted #fififavfinds #vestirsi
A touch of red ! It’s something I’ve been talking A touch of red ! It’s something I’ve been talking about for a while now : a pop of colour that will easily & effortlessly slide into your current wardrobe . How so ? Because red looks great with chocolate brown ! It’s the new colour combination of the season. The best way to wear red : Accessories of course ! I nabbed this fabulous red wool scarf @netaporter : a stand out piece of colour that instantly updates your wardrobe. (And it might just keep you warm too!) But don’t just stop at a red scarf , you can also rock a red shoe, a red bag or try a red knit tied around your waist. Love red hosiery and the idea of a bright red lipstick ! The trick is to just have one single piece in red and keep it as the centre of attention. Then build a wardrobe around it that’s simple, easy & chic. From choc brown pants & white shoes to a leather skirt & boots . You can find this fabulous scarf @netaporter plus lots of other fantastic accessories on sale with another 15% off ; yes, please ! I’ll post links in stories and as always over on @ltkaustralia #fififavfinds #shopwithfifi #netaporter #partner #fifireport
Do you know the fabulous brand @binnywear ?
 Desig Do you know the fabulous brand @binnywear ?
 Designed in South Australia, every season she designs a limited-edition collection full of unique prints and cool little details.   Her brand is so original, full of colour, print & fun maximalism and I can always find something for minimalist moi ! This season I have nabbed:
The khaki trench: An oversized cut, a great length it’s one of those pieces that works just as easily with jeans & loafers or with heels. Love the cute details like the cord collar & coolest brown checked lining & big roll back cuffs. The brown cord blazer : A more tailored cut with sharp shoulders and a nipped in waist it’s the corduroy that gives it a casual edge , great for the weekend over a white tee and white jeans. Or dress it up with brown pleather pants and white pointy heels. The tie front denim shirt : A flattering cut: almost a shacket it’s in a sturdier denim so it skims and doesn’t cling and flop ( as I do under there !). The tie front gives it a more elevated look so it can be chic, smart casual . You can tuck it in but also wear it out & it looks put together. Double denim it : wear with your favourite jeans and heels. I’ll add links to stories and you can find everything as always linked over on @ltkaustralia @binnywear #binny #fifireport #gifted #partner #fifiapproved
Let’s talk about this gorgeous brown coat @assembl Let’s talk about this gorgeous brown coat @assemblylabel ! * It‘s the best cut:  slouchy with big shoulders and roomy dramatic sleeves ✔️ * Which means it looks more tailored and chic rather than unstructured and shapeless ✔️ * It’s the right longer length ✔️ * THE most beautiful soft luxurious wool fabric ✔️ * You can wear it belted or just casually hanging loose ✔️ * an incredible price for the quality : I LOVE it ✔️ How am I styling it : It is relaxed and casual over a white tee , with baggy jeans and loafers. Or for a more elevated dressier lewk I have tossed it over the matching @assemblylabel cashmere knit ( the best cut and so soft !) with (the low curve mid rise ) white jeans @assemblylabel and my white pointy heels. Hint /Styling tip: stick to the same colours on top of the body so a brown coat and knit, or grey coat and knit , or say a khaki jacket and green tee back with any of your jeans . The divine brown soft leather oversized tote @assemblylabel keeps it all chic and tonal : done. The winter wardrobe now sorted thx @assemblylabel 💯❤️ I’m wearing ; size large in the coat & cashmere knit Size 29 in the jeans ( go up a size !) I’ll add links in stories and as always you’ll find all links and everything to shop at @ltk.australia @assemblylabel #gifted #shopwithfifi #assemblylabel #ltkaustralia
Dénim, denim and more denim.
No matter age, shape Dénim, denim and more denim.
No matter age, shape or budget we all LOVE denim. FiFi rule numbero uno?
Update the classics !
If you have been an avid FiFi follower you should now just keep scrolling to get shopping.. haha. 
All new peeps here : start listening !
breaking news : You can’t wear classics forever. They have a use by date, and you can’t keep pulling them out and think you look fabulous because you are wearing a ‘classic’. You know the feeling: You look in the mirror and think something is wrong: But what could it be? You are wearing a classic blazer, jeans, trench and Tee. Apparently they last a lifetime, are timeless.
WRONG !
All these pieces date. The length, the waist, the shoulder, the sleeve, the cut, the lapel : it all dates. Not suddenly but after about 7 years it’s time to update. ( which is why when you try to joosh up said old classics with bad accessories it just gets worse)( am I right or am I right?!) Which brings me to culprit number one: JEANS.
Remember 10 years ago your skinny jeans were called classics? I rest my case.
Jeans are the best, quickest coolest way to instantly update your wardrobe. Update your jeans to new modern shapes - like barrel leg or slouchy - and suddenly your old/current jackets, coats and knits will get another lease on life. Another season. This is good.
 How to wear blue denim right now ? With chocolate brown of course ! Update to new modern shapes in denim and surround it with all tones of brown. It’s your shortcut to instant chic. Shop my pick of the best denim & a few dollops of chocolate brown at fifi.com.au : link in bio or head to @ltk.australia for all the links #shopwithfifi
Let’s talk coats! They’re the linchpin of your wi Let’s talk coats! They’re the linchpin of your winter wardrobe. What to look for ? * A coat that’s long. Mid shin. Longer. Knee length? That length is so out it’s about to come back in. (And I’m not joking !) * Oversized. Go up a size. I always do. An inexpensive coat always looks alot chicer & more expensive if it’s a generous cut. * It can be single breasted or double breasted: just make sure it up covers ‘the situation’. Meaning ? Make sure it sits across your front even when it’s UNDONE. Because that is how you’re going to wear it (who wears a coat done up except in London mid winter ?) * Look for a coat in a versatile FiFi approved colour. You know what that means : Camel, navy, grey, brown, white , khaki , furry, suede or even leather. * Walk past black. It’s not going to give you vava voom, bang for your buck. * why ? Black can be so hard to style, have to try really hard with a black coat, it has to be VERY exaggerated to look cool. * Everybody keep calm! If you DO have a long black winter coat (and I have a few!) then keep wearing them. Just don’t buy a new one. * Surround a black coat with tan, white and camel. Fabulous boots. Cream knits. Light wash denim. Instant chic. Default to white under there. * Remember big shoulders are happening. This is so great in a coat. Makes a statement. Looks edgy. Gives shape and drama. A more tailored coat is looking new but it’s still got to be BIG and LONG. And a cape is ALWAYS fabulous. Swipez vous for all the ways I’ve been wearing my favorite coats this season . Some are a few seasons old but I’ll add links in stories to the coats that are available and similar over on #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia #fifireport #coatseason
It’s finally chilly ! 
And I’ve found the best puf It’s finally chilly !
