I’ve been shopping ..Surprise! Of course I spend I’ve been shopping ..Surprise! Of course I spend my life online and instore looking, looking, looking. For me. For you. For all the women in the world ! Unfortunately it‘s an occupational health hazard and I keep adding to cart. Please send help😜 The thing is I don’t want to spend alot on summer pieces, I find the winter season is when I want to invest in ‘gutsy’ pieces like coats and blazers. SO this week as I have been searching for cool low key summer pieces that won’t break the bank and also fill a few gaps in my wardrobe …and yours. Head to fifi.com.au to shop my picks and as always everything is available to shop @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi
There’s something fabulous right now about khaki c There’s something fabulous right now about khaki cargo shorts : They are the missing link in your wardrobe: Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/6shYg Cool, relaxed with a little bit of fashion edge. As casual as chinos but dressier than jeans /cargo pants. They’re what you want to grab when you want to look effortless and not tooooo dressed up. The secret ? As with all Bermuda shorts …it’s all about heels . You want the contrast of high & low. Laid back with polished , low-key shorts with a chic top. Dress up the shorts , dress down the chiffon top. That’s what smart casual is all about … Which is why these cargo shorts @assemblylabel are perfect going into the party season. The best cut , cool colour, a great length, in a sturdy cotton & with Internal waist ties for optional cinching( yes, please !) I’ve styled them with this cool tie neck black top @witcheryfashion and a white funnel neck shirt @zara Styling tips; The idea is to surround the khaki cargo shorts with black : a soft black top, black pointy heels and a small black shoulder bag @oroton . For a more casual take on the khaki shorts @assemblylabel I’ve tossed them back with a white cotton shirt @zara , fave brown mules @netaporter and woven leather bag @strandbags . If you want one single piece to instantly update your wardrobe these shorts are IT : pull out all your old tops and give them this groove injection. I’ll add links to stories and as always everything is linked over on #shopwithfifi @ltk.australia #gifted #fififavfinds #assemblylabel
Traveling overseas ? First stop has to be @strand Traveling overseas ? First stop has to be @strandbags ! You’ll find the best selection of fabulous suitcases and the chicest travel bags. My pick? The Nere suitcases in my favorite colour: chocolate brown! What’s to love ; You can match the carryon to the suitcase (so chic)✔️ Dual wheel spinner✔️ Expandable ✔️ Recycled lining ✔️ 10 year warranty ✔️ TSA approved ✔️ Oh and I’m so thrilled with the Evity Noosa travel tote : it’s the best ! The most stylish chocolate colour ( tones in with the suitcases)( and my whole wardrobe 😜too) with pockets and zips galore. You can fill it with everything but it’s so light you won’t feel a thing. And it slides so easily onto the handles of your suitcase : love ! The other fabulous bag which I nabbed @strandbags is the gorgeous Evity Leather Nina Weave Shoulder Bag. Roomy but not too big , chic but relaxed you’ll wear it every. single. day . Links in stories and as always head to @ltk.australia to shop all of these & more chic travel accessories @strandbags [ad] #shopwithfifi #strandpartner #paidlink
Good news ! This fabulous stripe tee is back in s Good news ! This fabulous stripe tee is back in stock @zara Such a great cut : FiFi approved neckline & cool square wide sleeves. A straight hem which is the perfect length to wear as a side tuck or just loose hanging out . Love that cool detail V detail on the neckline. Note: the stripe photographs as navy & white but it’s actually a very light blue & navy = chic It’s really the updated stripe tee you’ve been looking for ; oversized and not too jaunty ! How to style it ? Love a blue stripe with anything tan or camel. These pants from @assemblylabel are an exaggerated barrel cut which I love! In 100 % cotton with an elastic waist they are what you want to pull on for every day casual. Easy, laid back but cool & modern. Styling tip: Add accessories in tan or brown: a choc brown woven basket bag adds texture - this is my favorite Dragon Diffusion bag @netaporter and if you want low-heel heel slides these are perfect from @zara - also back in stock ! Wearing a size large in the stripe top @zara Size 10 in the pants - size down as they are pretty oversized #gifted thx @assemblylabel I’ll add links to stories and as always everything linked over @ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi #fififavfinds #onltk
When in doubt ? Default to white …under everything When in doubt ? Default to white …under everything: White jeans, white pants, white shorts. 
They’re the best ! 
They’re the core of everyday style. The foundation of your wardrobe.
The great thing about white pants/jeans is that they are as casual as blue jeans but just a little bit more jooshier. When blue denim can seem too laid back , white jeans look dressed up and a little more polished. So versatile wear with flats or heels, from day to evening, work to weekend , with lace or even with a metallic top. 
You need them in your life ! 
So many women think they can’t wear white jeans. Shut the front door, it’s time to start.
They actually look good on any size or shape. 
 Remember don’t compromise looking modern by trying to look slim. You’ll end up looking neither. Baggy is cool, baggy is chic, baggy is comfortable! I wear every style & cut from straight leg to baggy & barrel , to wide leg & carrot shape. You can never have too many white jeans. Hopefully that gives you a few styling ideas: Let me know your favorite fit ! I’ll add links to stories & as always you can find everything over on @ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi #fififavfinds
Smart casual .
It’s what everyone is always asking Smart casual .
It’s what everyone is always asking for … because it’s hard to get right:
You want to be chic, slightly dressed up but look effortless. Feel relaxed. 
You don’t want to look overdressed or look too try hard !
It might be drinks, it might be a BBQ, a dinner, a concert or a low key event.
it’s not black tie, it’s not weekend casual and it’s not workwear either. Oh la la it’s pretty broad. Choose your own ( smart casual) adventure. So here’s the secret for all those occasions: Table top dressing.
Which is how you dress from the waist up.
It’s a FiFi philosophy: the attention and focus on top of the body (everything else is hidden under the table!) 
Which means only one thing: Fabulous tops & pretty blouses.
As chic & easy as dresses, ten million times more versatile. Styling ideas:
Grab a sequin/lace/blouse top : toss it OVER a white tank, pull on baggy blue jeans, flat sandals/birks = low key casual. Sequin/lace top: pull on tan cotton chinos or black barrel jeans, strappy kitten heels and a chic clutch= smart casual. Sequin/lace top : pull on tailored pants or a midi skirt , sparkly heels, metallic clutch, dangly earrings = event dressing The sneaky trick to all this styling? Shoes !
Change your shoes, change the look. Hint : A rule of thumb is to style silver with black and then mix browns back with gold. Easy. Shop my picks all these and so many more at fifi.com.au or #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia #fififavfinds #ltkaustralia
How good is this houndstooth blazer @dissh ? Answ How good is this houndstooth blazer @dissh ? Answer : very ! What’s to love ? * In a light unstructured fabric, great for spring. * The houndstooth adds a fashion edge : way more interesting that ye olde worlde plain blazer. * longer cut with big padded shoulders. * Relaxed oversized shape. Think of it as a cardigan. But 1000 times chicer ( cardigans are frumpy IMO !), meaning it’s versatile. You can wear it out and about on weekends and won’t feel too “dressed”. * The neutrals and brown houndstooth will slide effortlessly into your wardrobe & go with everything you own…Yes, even red jeans ! Styling tips : Match red sandals to your jeans , continue the line right down to your toes. Add a brown woven bag to add contrast Try the blazer with a white tee & Bermuda shorts with heels. Swipe 👉 I’ll also wear with white jeans or chinos. I’m wearing ; The blazer @dissh size 12 White & other stories T shirt @theiconicau medium The red barrel pants @zara size 40 Bermuda shorts @lululemonausnz size L Red sandals @zara Woven bag @netaporter * some gifted 🙏 I’ll add links to stories and as always check out #shopwithfifi @ltk.australia #fififavfinds #fifireport
Outfit of the day ! Is it a shirt ? Is it a bomb Outfit of the day ! Is it a shirt ? Is it a bomber or a blouson ? I think it’s all three . This is good. Means it’s versatile. You can wear it with nothing under it. You can layer it over a tank. You can wear it open like a jacket or done up like a blouse. The elastic hem means you can pull it down or let it sit on your waist. Most importantly it stands on its own as a statement piece : it doesn’t need a jacket to look great. It has the chicness of a soft blouse but the structure of a jacket . I’m wearing here with my fav dark denim jeans and then 👉layered over a neat white tank with cool black balloon pants @lululemonausnz Other ways wear this shirt ? I’ll toss it with camel or white Bermuda shorts, white jeans & baggy camel chinos. Slouchy blue jeans of course. Adds heels , grab a clutch and it’s smart casual Done ! Note : wearing a large in the blouson ! Need more smart casual tops ? Yes, please ! Head to fifi.com.au for my picks luxe to less.

Snapped this last week on the way to an event @str Snapped this last week on the way to an event @strandbags to see all their fabulous new season bags & cool luggage - more to come ! Styling tips : * This is the way to you can wear brown for spring ! * Update to new modern shapes : a blazer that is tailored with bigger shoulders & nipped in waist with Bermuda shorts in pleather. * Mix up the textures , pleather & twill with a dash of suede. * Stick to one colour dressing , so mixing all different tones of browns and tan. * the shorts lighten it up by showing bare legs ( so brown trousers are not wrong here but might look a little wintery) * And the white tee freshens it up too. * The blazer also works with straight blue jeans & white jeans Swipez-vous 👉👉👉 Wearing ; Brown blazer from & other stories @theiconicau Brown shorts @zara White tee & other stories @theiconicau Heels @netaporter & @zara YSL belt @netaporter Suede bag @strandbags White jeans @assemblylabel Blue jeans @uniqloau Links in stories!

Bermuda shorts : THE item of the season ! So hap Bermuda shorts : THE item of the season ! So happy I found these from @lululemonausnz * the best neutral colour (cypress forest ) ✔️ * Drawstring waist ✔️ * Good length ( on me anyway !) ✔️ * Lightweight woven soft fabric ✔️ * Relaxed cut & so flattering ✔️ * Machine washable ✔️ * A wardrobe chameleon - wear with heels, tee & blazer for every day city dressing or casually with flat sandals on the weekend. I’ve styled the shorts with the coolest sweatshirt ( oversized crew) @lululemonanz . Love ! It’s an exaggerated shape with big sleeves & a voluminous bubble hem in the softest fabric. It’s a statement top : you don’t need a jacket to joosh it . Also nabbed @lululemonanz the lightweight pleated track jacket in a chic khaki ( sassy sage) Swipez vous 👉 it’s really a kind of a blouson / bomber . Love with barrel pants or white jeans but more on those pieces tomorrow! Wearing a size large in shorts, a medium in the crew sweatshirt and a large in the track jacket.

Two ways with a new blazer ( & new white pants !) Two ways with a new blazer ( & new white pants !) Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/6prWv Love this chic sharp blazer @theiconicau - on sale 😜 It’s a great cut : tailored silhouette with strong shoulders but still relaxed . It’s double breasted & you’ll wear it undone. The colour : It’s a rich choc brown, as versatile as black yet softer & will work with neutrals & white. Summer to winter . The fabric : it’s a light wool twill with a teeny bit of stretch . Perfect for spring over a white tee, wearing a size 12 How I’m wearing it ! When in doubt : default to all white under everything right ?! Like these cool white Arket cotton balloon pants @theiconicau , sooo good with elastic waist and an exaggerated cut ! I’ll probably wear mostly on summer weekends or on holidays as very relaxed, almost beachy. With a white or grey tee shirt ( I’ll post in stories ). Wearing a size medium . The blazer also looks great with jeans of course, the best straight jeans from JW Anderson @uniqloau and my fav white jeans @assemblylabel . Love how it’s all pulled together with the Dragon Diffusion bag @netaporter and brown mules. I’ll post links in stories as always everything is linked over on #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia #fififavfinds #theiconic #gifted
Let’s concentrate on all the shades of blue 💙
A fa Let’s concentrate on all the shades of blue 💙
A fabulous alternative to black, just as chic but softer. 
it’s a sneaky way to add ” colour” to all your brown & camel Especially if you can’t do red or orange. I get it ! Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to this post on my LTK ⬇ https://liketk.it/6njTk Styling tricks: * if you want to look modern and effortless ( Hint: you do!) update blue into new shapes. barrel leg jeans, a short blue shirt, slouchy navy blazer, a blue dress that is LONG and stripe, a top that has major sleeves. * Wear neutrals /camel then add brighter blues like a knit around your waist , a blue tee or try a blue shirt with white jeans , brown pants , a camel jacket * A bright blue shirt looks great worn undone & open over a white tank with camel pants. * layer up different tones of blue from light to dark. A navy blazer with lighter wash jeans, a stripe shirt with denim pants, a navy jacket over white. * Go for exaggerated strong shapes, that’s what makes it cool…like an oversized blazer, baggy jeans, high waist balloon pants or a shirt with big sleeves. * use accessories to bring an edge or bring in brighter blue : that means a navy bag, a stripe bag,  sneakers with a touch of blue , a major designer belt or try a cool bucket hat. * Navy needs an edge so it doesn’t look like a uniform or too jaunty so mix back with brown, baggy denim, oversized blazer or cool shoes. * The FiFi Fashion secret in life? If in doubt always add white. ( like shoes, jeans and T shirts) and you can’t go wrong. Shop all my picks in every shade of blue !
