Camel pants ! They are one of the most versatile Camel pants ! They are one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe . So many ways to wear them. So little time ! Desk to dinner, work to weekend, day to evening. As cool as jeans and just as comfortable. As easy as black pants and just as versatile. Oh and their secret power ? The chic colour means they’re instant wardrobe updaters. (they will joosh up your current wardrobe in no time !) Where to find these great camel pants? @lululemonausnz ! Yes, that’s right. Be surprised because @lululemonausnz has some fabulous every day pieces. And not just for exercise. Same quality . Same attention to design. Same comfort. This groovy white ( bone) crop coach’s jacket ? @lululemonausnz ! Perfect over a white tee, it’s one of those easy casual jackets (my new favorite) that you can also easily toss back with jeans, chinos or leggings. The chic black cotton shirt - swipe - I’m wearing with the camel pants : @lululemonausnz ! It’s the best cut, not too big but not too small, has big stylish cuffs & you wear it hanging out & loose. The groovy white /bone coach’s jacket ? @lululemonausnz This is one of those cool casual jackets (my new favorite) that you can also easily wear with jeans or khaki chinos. Styling tips: * Wear the black shirt as jacket , open and undone over a white tee. Roll up the cuffs. * Push up the sleeves of the jacket ( they’re elastic so they stay in place )( soo good). * The camel pants look great worn long & slouchy over flats like the white @lululemonausnz slides or sandals. * Or try the coach’s jacket with brown kitten heel mules and a designer bag. * Or dressed down with a cool @lululemonausnz utility bag worn cross body in the same neutral tones . * Think three colours on the body : so black, white & camel. * Or tone on tone - neutrals & browns from head to toe. * It’s about new proportions & styling : slouchy pants WITH an oversized jacket. * white shoes wether slides always lighten the look. Get shopping ! As always I’ll post links to stories and to #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia #Partner #ad #lululemonanz #ltkaustralia #fifireport #simplechic #fashiontipsforwomen #buyfewerbuybetter
How to be chic on casual weekends or when you’re How to be chic on casual weekends or when you’re living your best every day life? Jackets! They should be the first thing you think about buying. It’s the secret to effortless casual dressing. We are talking bomber jackets, utility jackets, shackets, barn jackets, crop trenchcoats, and everything in between. They are instant wardrobe updaters! They add a laid back cool relaxed vibe. But with a sophisticated edge. A casual jacket will elevate all the basics in your wardrobe. How good is that?! A chic alternative to a blazer these jackets are light enough to wear right now in spring ( and into a Melbourne summer!) and perfect for traveling as they are totally trans seasonal. The good news : short casual jackets are made for high waist jeans, denim skirts, A line skirts or any slouchy pants. That’s because they add shape, create a waist ( or an illusion of one !) and balance out the silhouette. For shoes : Just add casual white flats, sneakers or chunky slides if you’re thinking a low key lewk. But a strappy kitten heel looks more than chic with any of these jackets. Finish the look with a hobo slouch bag & cool aviators. And you’re out the door ✔️ Everybody stopped looking! I tracked down the best casual jackets you need now from luxe to less !

Want to build a wardrobe? The key is to choose new Want to build a wardrobe? The key is to choose new season pieces that slide easily into your current wardrobe to get maximum cost per wear! Which is why it’s worth investing in a short crop casual jacket ( or camel blazer ) because it will add a little joosh to your every day pieces. Take this crop trench @acnestudios , it’s a few years old & still one of my favorite pieces and I wear on repeat. I’ve pulled it on the @lululemonausnz choc brown cargo pants and styled with a white tee & white shoes and it’s a done deal. Styling tips: * Think tonal dressing rather exactly matching colours. * So browns & caramels with white are all living their best life when they’re together. * Roll up the hem of the cargo pants so it’s a bit more sporty luxe . It’s good to show the ankle * Shoes changeth the outfit. the white Net mesh flats & loafers work with the crop pants because you see a bit of ankle. There’s skin/space to create drama. * a designer belt @hermes elevates the cargo pants. * a white round neck tee is pivotal in your wardrobe. It lightens up the look, works back with the shoes. Adds a third colour. A casual edge ! * Choose accessories like bags, belts & sunglasses in the same tones & colours. Looks chic and makes dressing so easy. What’s not to love about that ?!

They add an instant fashion edge & laid back cool relaxed vibe. A chic alternative to a blazer these jackets are light enough to wear right now in spring ( and into a Melbourne summer!) and perfect for traveling as they are trans seasonal.

My two favourite things. Ok, make it three! My new My two favourite things. Ok, make it three! My new barrel leg jeans and a cool utility vest. Both pieces I can’t stop wearing. Because …guess what ?! I actually WEAR my wardrobe. Even repeat wear. Outrageous! So when I choose anything: I really think about how it will fit in my wardrobe. How I can wear it multiple ways. How I can get maximum mileage out of it. Which is why you see me here wearing lots of favorite pieces again & again in different ways. Because isn’t that how real women dress? (BTW both these pieces @Zara which you can find on FiFi fav finds on Pinterest- link in bio) Let’s talk about the jeans. I think you will agree with me that barrel jeans are instant wardrobe updaters ! So comfortable. So chic. Feel new. Look cool. You can see 👉 swipe I’m wearing the jeans with all sorts of jackets including the vest, a black blazer, crop trench and long white trench. Or just with a simple white top . The point ? These jeans hold their own with whatever you’re wearing. And I think the shorter length is so right in summer with white strappy heels (the other favorite thing that I can’t stop wearing!) but also with brown mules and pointy kitten heels. Let’s talk about the utility vest / jacket. Love this trend : it’s practical AND cool. It’s all about a short crop jacket with pockets. (How much do we LOVE pockets ?) Perfect for this spring weather to layer over a tee or knit. The groovy alternative to a blazer you want a sleeveless vest like this or go for a crop trench, shacket or barn jacket. Love it in a neutral ( duh of course 😂) but khaki or denim is chic too. Everybody stop looking! you’ll find my picks on the latest FiFi Report on the best casual jackets, what you need & how to wear them.

It really is one of the best wardrobe pairings: So easy and chic.
It has basically been my uniform for years and probably yours too , right?
But here’s the thing : You need to update these pieces every 5 years or so to the new modern shapes.
It’s the FiFi philosophy: update the classics. Update your styling.
This is not the same old jeans and blazer.
The jeans ? They are cargo jeans, slouchy and baggy. In a lighter wash.
(If you’re not into cargo jeans then the usual wide leg/ barrel/ straight jeans are also right).
The blazer? It‘s slouchy and long but with sharp shoulders. ( add a white tank under there so you can wear the jacket undone…)
Love the contrast of the strict tailoring of the jacket with the casualness of the cargo pants and sneakers.
The styling trick : Add a pop of colour with a handbag.
It adds a third colour and breaks up the monotone, adds an unexpected touch.
Then just add whatever jewellery you like !
Done: Now you can steal her style . Hit link in bio or just head over @ltk.australia or comment SHOP to get the link #shopwithfifi
It’s a FiFi philosophy! Build a wardrobe of exp It’s a FiFi philosophy! Build a wardrobe of expensive colours. They look expensive but have to be. But what does that mean?? It means investing in colours that are versatile. And colours that look expensive. camel. white. black. Grey. Navy. Khaki. White Hot pink ? Never looks expensive unless it is. (Same with bright blues, purple & neon green). Most importantly these“ expensive” colours are also the most versatile! They’re easy to style, to mix & match. You can throw them together and they just….work. Which means you get mileage from your wardrobe. Fantastic cost per wear. You look chic. Getting dressed is effortless. And you really WEAR your wardrobe. On repeat. The best news? When you have a wardrobe of expensive colours there is no need to rely on kooky colours, pesky prints or frumpy florals to look farshun !(Too tricky. Never versatile. Aging). The fashion edge comes instead from modern updated shapes , silhouettes and the new ways of styling. Oh and if you stick to this FiFi philosophy then shopping is so much easier ! Whhaaat?? There will be no getting overwhelmed by too many things in-store …instead you learn to zero in on the FiFi approved expensive colours ( & just walk past & ignore the rest!) . Shopping is quicker. Dressing is easier. And you look effortless & chic. Isn’t that what it’s all about ? Want more FiFi philosophies & fashion tips & tricks? Yes, please !

I’m obsessed with any kind of vest right now. Pe I’m obsessed with any kind of vest right now. Perfect for spring, they’re a great alternative to a blazer; you still get the benefits of tailoring without the formality of a jacket. And they’re a great layering piece in this spring weather.

Pretty much rainproof, it even has a detachable hood. Plus I love the fabulous grosgrain belt with a chic silver buckle ( very Prada!) swipe 👉👉👉 So versatile it’s light enough to wear in summer with jeans & a white tee or with a pencil skirt and strappy heels. In winter ? I’ll wear with knit & pleather pants. The styling tips : It’s about investing in fabulous outerwear like a trench in a light colour as it lifts your whole lewk ( & it’s what people see first ). Update jeans to a new modern cut like baggy or barrel. Add white heels & a tan bag. Belt is optional with jeans. It’s three colours on the body : done !

Bermudas & a vest ! You know how I love Bermuda sh Bermudas & a vest ! You know how I love Bermuda shorts. And you know how I adore a vest. How I am obsessed with choc brown khaki … Helloooo! You can imagine the excitement when I found all three of my favorites in one single lewk! The vest & Bermudas are both @arketofficial And the good news is they are now on sale. Yay. You need them in your life ! ( I do anyway !) This fit is going to get so much wear in summer when it’s hot & I want to look chic but also low key and cool. And remember the great thing about a matching set: You can wear them together or break them up into lots of different looks. How to wear them together: With a white tee & white shoes of course. You want to lighten it up and keep it clean & simple. Add a bag that tones in , cool sunglasses and you’re out the door. Swipe 👉 I’ve styled the shorts on their own with a different oversized white statement tee ( also from @arketofficial last season) and with a chic brown shoulder bag & fav white shoes. I’ll wear with a white tank in the hot peak of summer. I’ll also wear the vest with a white tee and jeans. Or in winter the vest will work with black pants and over a tonal knit. It’s trans-seasonal ! One of things I’m always asking myself before I buy anything: how many ways can I wear it ? Can I wear it summer and winter ? You want mileage from your wardrobe & great cost per wear. It’s the FiFi philosophy! Tell me do you think you will wear shorts ? Or a vest this summer ?! Love to know your thoughts ! Get shopping !
