A chic short sleeve grey knit and a pair of fabulous knee high black boots.
had to nab them as soon as I spied them , on sale ! thank you @netaporter 
 A short sleeve knit ( it’s a T shirt!) is so damn versatile. 
It works under a coat, a blazer or a jacket.
Best of all when it gets warmer ( or when you do; haha) it looks great on its own.
 * Love the FiFi approved round neckline ✔️ * sleeves down to the elbow for coverage ✔️ * Perfect length, hang out or easily tuck in ✔️ * HINT: I actually put in some shoulders pads in the knit , they add structure, a little fashion edge too. Let’s talk the black suede knee high boots:
Saw these on sale @netaporter & knew they would slide right into my wardrobe✔️
Love the low kitten heel (walkable !) ✔️ The pointy blunt toe ✔️
Suede adds another texture ✔️ Styling tips: * The neat cut of the tee means it’s easily layered under a statement oversized pleather jacket 
 * black boots extend the line of all black skirts & pants 
*try boots with culottes : it’s a new silhouette 
*Let the knit hang out over & and belt it in 
*Mix grey + chocolate brown = cool *Grey always works with white jeans & black pleather 
*white shoes to break up the dark colours
 Head to @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi where you can shop these and my other favourite pieces ( lots on sale !) @netaporter as always link in bio & on stories !

Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link t Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/6jvwR Feels like spring is in the air ! Or am I just trying to convince myself it’s a bit warmer ?! whatever the weather it’s nice to have a change in wardrobe. And these colours feel fresh & new ! Do you remember this bomber jacket @theiconicau ? Decided it was just the thing to toss over my new orange tank which I nabbed this month @lululemonausnz . Pulled on my favorite white barrel jeans @zara as I’m loving this pop of colour back with camel and white. It works don’t you think ?! Adding a pop of red or orange is a simple way to joosh up your neutrals without - you know - going nuts with full on colour haha , just a little soupçon is enough for me ! Styling tips: * Add white shoes - these white woven low heel mules @theiconicau tie back with the jeans & lighten the look. * Think three colours : camel, orange & white. Why ? Two colours can be too matchy match & more than three ? It’s way too hard to think that through! And I don’t have the time to style too many colours 😂 *don’t be afraid to mix slouchy jeans with a baggy jacket. Throw out those old ideas about proportions: what’s cool now ( if you didn’t know !) is anything oversized. Nothing is too tight & that silhouette feels modern & relaxed.

Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link t Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop this post on #shopwithfifi on LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/6iRSS FiFi philosophy 101 : update the classics! Everything dates: you can’t keep wearing pieces forever. They have a use by date. That’s if you want to be chic, effortless & cool. (Hint: you do!) Take this leather jacket @minima_esenciales @theiconicau It’s updated into an oversized modern shape in a patent shiny fabric , very cool ! And the rich burgundy brown colour feels new. Totally versatile it works with so many pieces in my wardrobe from a chocolate pencil skirt , blue denim jeans , dark denim & slouchy brown pants. Styling tips : Layer the same tones on top of the body : so a red burgundy knit tank @minima_esenciales under a brown burgundy jacket. Then choose whatever bottom you feel like. An oversized & unstructured jacket looks great with something narrow like a pencil skirt but don’t be afraid to mix up proportions and try it with barrel jeans & slouchy pants. In terms of shoes: I’ve styled the bomber jacket back with brown knee high boots plus burgundy kitten heels (I forgot I had !) with jeans just to tie it all together. The white shoes always look great with slouchy pants ! I’ll add links in stories and of course everything is over @ltk.australia #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi gifted @minima_esenciales
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.
