I’m having a little love-in with designer belts I’m having a little love-in with designer belts ! It’s one of those accessories that adds personality and instantly elevates everything you own. Because a little bit of luxury goes a long way right ? As US Vogue writes “Jewelry, bags and shoes get all the love, but a statement belt can really make a look. Think of them like jewelry for your clothes—they’re worth investing in.” No wonder belts were all over the spring 2026 runways at Ralph Lauren, Celine, Khaite, and Chloé. My advice ; go for a tan, beige or choc brown belt. It’s a clever way to add another colour to your outfits . If you have alot browns & neutrals ( me ! )a tan belt slips effortlessly into your everyday wardrobe. Swipez vous to see how I’ve tossed either YSL or Valentino belt with everything from jeans, to leather , big coats and with shorts 👉👉👆 That’s the thing with belts they not discerning : They don’t care whether it’s summer or winter, hot or cold , casual, weekend or evening 😜 Which is why it’s an accessory worth spending money on. Because a belt is 24/7 and 12 months a year investment and you can’t argue with that right? #costperwear My pick this season is this YSL belt @netaporter Although big buckle belts (Celine !) are a big trend ATM I love the subtlety of a smaller belt. Links to this outfit in stories and my picks of the best belts @netaporter is over on #shopwithfifi @ltk.australia

Jeans & a tee. Always chic, Nothing simpler ! The Jeans & a tee. Always chic, Nothing simpler ! The trick ? Update ! Update ! Update ! These two wardrobe essentials need to be updated into new modern shapes - because (as I’m always repeating!) classics date, you can’t wear them forever . Jeans , tee shirts, trenchcoats, black pants, knits and blazers all have a use by date ! One day the pieces you’ve always worn suddenly feel a bit daggy, a bit wrong, a bit blah right ? You don’t feel good. You can’t put your finger on it. After all, these are classics and you’re supposed to be able to wear them forever. Then you try to fix the situation with too many silly accessories, god forbid with bright colours. Wrong ! The solution: update all your favorite classics into new modern exciting shapes. Jeans right now , so cool in a barrel shape, in dark denim . A T-shirt that’s slouchy, an interesting texture. Best thing is when you update to new modern shapes everything looks great , no jooshing needed. You just put them on, instant chic , out the door. Done ! Wearing size 30 in the Rollas jeans and large in the Tee. Swipe for other ways I’ve worn the jeans.

Barrel shape jeans are so flattering , cool and so right for day in a lighter blue wash.
Then why not double denim it with this pretty denim shirt , love the frill collar and cuffs. Add white mules & a tan bag to add contrast and texture. Chic ! Outfit 2. Barrel leg jeans in a darker denim wash are perfect ! A bit chicer, more elevated than blue denim but still low key for smart casual. This fabulous crop jacket is a match made in heaven with high waist jeans. Soft, almost like a cardigan , but ten times coooler. Love it ! Pull it all together with satin brown heels & a shoulder bag/clutch. And you’re ready to head out. Outfit 3 White straight jeans are de rigueur in your winter wardrobe ! Love the idea of white denim with a slouchy grey knit on chilly weekends. These straight white jeans sit really well under a long knit & balance out the silhouette. Add a camel coat , a black tote & heels and you’re sorted ! Shop the look and all these pieces from theiconic @ltkaustralia #fififavfinds #theiconic #ad #denimforwinter.

Quick question: Are you getting a little tired of Quick question: Are you getting a little tired of your summer wardrobe?! Loving the summer weather (of course!) but I decided that I was in need of a little pick me up! This fabulous brown shoulder pad tee @hm was just the thing to joosh up my wardrobe! Great colour , slouchy cut and shoulder pads = FiFi approved. I’ve styled it with one of my favorite white jeans ( witchery!) davidjones ( last winter) , back with all of my chic brown accessories: bag, shoes & belt . It works , easy ! Remember white jeans work in summer and winter - with a grey peacoat , with a trench , a denim shacket and always with knits ! Swipez vous 👉👉 What to look for? I love wide leg jeans with a side pocket ( more like pants !) or barrel leg, both slouchy. I usually go up a size so they are looser. Now you can steal my style & lots of white jeans luxe to less !

It’s my short jacket era ! Feels fresh & new a It’s my short jacket era ! Feels fresh & new after years of long blazers. Don’t get me wrong I still love & adore long jackets & coats. But right now the shorter jacket is just so chic. And it’s all I keep wearing to be honest. Swipez vous for all the ways I’ve been styling a short jacket and you get the idea ! Of course when I sniff out a trend you had best get cracking : invest early in a trend and get years of wear . Which short jacket ? I am talking about a utility jacket, a short trench, a crop leather peacoat or a bomber. It might even be a short blazer. It should sit ( more or less) on the waist. Choose all the FiFi approved colours; Camel, cream, chocolate, brown or khaki. Black is ok. Maybe white. Always beige. It might have pockets, epaulettes, or a cinched in waist. It might be a shacket or a barn jacket.  Look for cotton, for wool twill, for denim. Maybe leather. Chanel style tweed ? Yes. But be careful they can look frumpy ( can be tricky to style : you need something edgy like jeans or leather ). Tip: the hem of the jacket doesn’t need to meet the top of your pants or skirt. It’s fine to show a little bit of a white tee/knit or even lace ! A long knit in winter looks great under a crop jacket: it works! It’s just about getting your eye used to the different styling & new proportions . I’ll post links of any pieces still available!

Found : the chicest raincoat ! Can we talk about Found : the chicest raincoat ! Can we talk about this gorgeous chocolate brown ? Of course when I saw a rain jacket in that divine colour du jour I pounced on it ! But it’s not just a pretty face 😜 This cocoon rain coat @lululemonausnz is also very practical .. good news for bad weather! For a start it’s waterproof ( good in a raincoat !)✔️ Love the chic funnel neck & handy hood ✔️ The fact that it’s extra long to the knees & has an adjustable draw cord hem ✔️ Plus all those nifty details that @lululemonausnz always have : secure pockets to keep rain out✔️ internal phone sleeve✔️ Zippered interior chest pockets✔️ Adjustable cuffs✔️ Oh it is machine washable ✔️✔️✔️ How to wear it ?

It’s Shoesday ! If you’ve been following me It’s Shoesday ! If you’ve been following me for a long time you know I am obsessed with white shoes : they’re instant wardrobe updaters! What’s to love about a white shoe ( ok , two !): they’ll inject a fashion edge and joosh up anything you wear. They lighten up your look , break up all your neutrals or black. Add an all important third colour to monotone outfits. White shoes are (almost !) all I ever wear. Which is why I thought it was a good idea to invest a pair of designer white/cream heels that are great quality , to handle the constant thrashing & repeat wear ! These kitten heel @netaporter are fabulous: A walkable low kitten heel = soo comfortable ✔️ A slingback so they look perfect in summer but can also be worn in winter.✔️ Love the pointy toe ✔️ A lovely creamy white , totally versatile ✔️ You’ll wear with everything ✔️ I’ll add the link to stories and of course everything is linked over on #shopwithfifi @ltkaustralia where I’ve also added all my favorite pieces I’ve found @netaporter #ltkaustralia #fififavfinds #netaporter
You won’t see me wearing a lot of black on here. You won’t see me wearing a lot of black on here. Why ? Because for a start black can look a little hard against your face sometimes. Secondly black actually does not photograph very well . It’s tricky. An outfit can look good IRL but put it on & try to photograph it & black can sometimes look like a snoozefest. Nigh nigh 🤣 Which is why it’s important to invest in black pieces with texture, shine or embellishment. Or strong exaggerated shapes . Something interesting happening otherwise it can be BORING! Which bring me to this fabulous black top @theiconicau : it has big dramatic sleeves ✔️ In an interesting satiny shiny fabric ✔️ It’s structured so it sits well, looks expensive, keeps its shape. ( it won’t look floppy even if you are haha)✔️ Won’t cling on things you need to hide ( I’m an expert in that department !)✔️ The sleeves add drama & give good muffin arm coverage ✔️ It’s transeasonal ; It won’t look too summery when you go out for dinner as the weather chills ✔️ So many different ways to wear it ! With grey jeans @zara & pointy boots in winter . With blue straight jeans @uniqloau & white heels With black shorts @morrisonclothing & thong heels. With black balloon pants @lululemonausnz . In winter I’ll wear it with a black pleather A line skirt, with a brown coat nonchalantly tossed on my shoulders & boots ! I’m wearing a size 42 in the black top , on sale @theiconicau ! I’ll post link in stories & as always over on @ltk.australia #fififavfinds #ltkaustralia #shopwithfifi #fifireport
