It’s Shoesday ! So thought I’d share some of It’s Shoesday ! So thought I’d share some of my favorites I’ve been wearing this summer. On repeat. 1. Black mules from @atmosandhere @theiconicau Love the kitten heel. Surprisingly comfortable. Casual yet chic. Perfect when you want a heel but don’t want to look too dressed up. Summery. Low key. Wear with shorts & midi skirts . Crop white jeans & a black shoulder pad tee. 2. Tkees in white @tkees The only thongs I will ever wear. Love the square toe too. Go for white. Wear with wide leg jeans & linen pants. Or a kaftan. Good for holidays or the beach or lying by the pool. 3. White mesh ballet flats @jomercershoes Chic. Comfortable. The mesh means your feet are never too hot. Breezy. You can see your nail polish! Wear with wide leg slouchy pants or with a A line midi camel skirt. 4. White wedge heels @mango When you need a heel you can walk in. Sometimes a strappy sandal is all you need to add joosh & a little more sophistication to your lewk. White of course ! 5. Brown mules @jomercershoes @thedom_au Love a mule, essentially with a square toe. Especially with a low kitten heel. Casual but also sophisticated. Comfortable. Easy. Brown is a good alternative to white. Wear with blue jeans & white chinos or with Bermuda shorts. 6. White flat sandals @jomercershoes Black & white is chic but also dramatic. Chunky but not too clumpy. When you want a casual shoe but still fashiony and polished. Great with long midi skirts or a floaty shirt dress. Some of these shoes are still available & if not I’ll post similar to my @ltk.australia page #shopwithfifi #shoesday
This chilly weather is ok with me . It means I get This chilly weather is ok with me . It means I get to wear my two fav things : jeans & a blazer . Updated into new modern shapes of course ! Right now I’m loving baggy barrel leg jeans ( as you may have guessed!) and a blazer with big sharp shoulders. I nabbed this fabulous white blazer last year from @cosstores_au because I love the strong shoulders and the almost exaggerated shape. Plus the sleeves have their own inbuilt elastic which means you can push them up & they stay in place : genius ! These jeans are @zara from a few months ago : can’t stop wearing them ! I bought a size bigger so they are slouchy & sit lower. So damn comfortable too. Styling tips : * Stick to the same colours on top : so a white blazer over a white tee - this applies to grey & grey , khaki & khaki, camel & camel etc ( it’s a FiFi philosophy I’ve been talking about for years !)( so easy to do). * White mules work back with the blazer & lighten the look. Black shoes here ? Too dark . * A neutral bag like this taupe YSL clutch adds a third colour , doesn’t match but tones in. * Tuck in your tee to create shape. * No need for a belt , keep it simple . Need more fashion tips & styling ideas ? Of course you do ! Head to fifi.com.au and subscribe to The FiFi Report . Follow me on shopwithfifi @ltk.australia
It’s your everyday summer wardrobe checklist ! ( It’s your everyday summer wardrobe checklist ! (Because the hot weather ain’t over just yet right?) Everything you need to you look chic in the heat. Everything you need for easy, effortless, low key dressing. Simple, slouchy pieces that are comfortable AND fashiony . Start with white, ( white for summer? groundbreaking ?!) add in some neutrals, choc brown, a few dollops of khaki, maybe orange, a patch of blue and a soupcon of black. The idea is that you don’t want to think about it too much - get dressed with your eyes closed in five minutes flat - but know you look great. Head to The FiFi Report where I’ve tracked down all the key pieces you need for the beach, for every day city summer dressing and beyond. (Most pieces under $300. You’re welcome.) Hint : it’s a huge post so you should probably grab a drink and sit back & relax ! Hit the link in bio or skip over to fifi.com.au #shopwithfifi
I’m baaack : Happy New Year 2025 everyone ✨ A I’m baaack : Happy New Year 2025 everyone ✨ And a big hello & welcome to lots of new followers : so pleased to see you here ! There’s no better way to start the new year than with a clean slate : Simple. Modern. Clean. Minimal. Easy. Effortless. It’s the FiFi philosophy! Build a wardrobe of simple versatile colours that look expensive but don’t need to be. I’m talking white, cream, chocolate brown, black, camel, navy & grey. A dollop of khaki & denim. Then update your key pieces into new exciting shapes : an oversized white tee, baggy barrel jeans & white mules. The fashion edge is coming from the drama in the cut & the new ways of styling. Who said you need kooky colours, pesky prints or frumpy florals to look chic ? The best thing about updating classics into new modern shapes: You just put them on, you’re out the door. These pieces look instantly chic. No need to fluff, tweak, joosh or add lots accessories. Because these pieces don’t need any help. They just look great dot com. They hold their own. Make a statement. Which means easy, effortless no brainer dressing ! And isn’t that what we all want from our wardrobes?! Styling tricks: Roll up the hem of the jeans, shorter is better in summer. A choc brown or camel bag will break up the monotone. No need to tuck your tee when it’s in a sturdy fabric. Mix cream & white , like a silver & gold it’s an old rule ! This fabulous white ‘scuba’ tee is from last year @arketofficial and the jeans are a few seasons old from @cosstores_au . The mules ? They’re new & a total dupe of @loewe @tonybianco ( and on sale ! I might get the choc brown too as so comfortable and totally right !) I’ll add the links to stories & check out #shopwithfifi page @ltk.australia to shop the look & similar pieces !

Relaxed party dressing .
It’s about being chic Relaxed party dressing .
It’s about being chic, slightly dressed up but looking effortless. Feeling relaxed.
You don’t want to look too overdressed or too try hard ! This is not black tie but it’s not beach dressing either.
It might be drinks, BBQ, dinner or a New Year’s party . The secret : 
Table top dressing.
Which is how you dress from the waist up.
You want the attention and focus on top of the body (everything else is hidden under the table!)
 Which is why I nabbed this fabulous Marant Etoile silver top from @netaporter (It’s on sale and I could not resist. ) Yes, it’s very dramatic with those huge shoulders (!) and the glamorous shimmery fabric BUT the shape is actually really just a relaxed simple tee shirt. Because when you have rich luxe fabrics you don’t need frills, flounces or anything too tricky in the design. Keep it simple so there is only one element that is getting all the attention.  The trick with any sparkly statement top? 
Dress it down with casual low key pants ! I’m talking jeans, cotton chinos or slouchy pants.
Think contrasts. It’s the DNA of effortless chic: tough with pretty, casual and dressy, with soft and hard. It’s the modern chic way to dress don’t you think? So I decided to style this fabulous silver top @netaporter with white grey jeans. Then with grey jeans . I couldn’t decide! Which one do you guys like ? Let me know ! 
Remember go for a baggy style slouchy jean then add black classic heels & a YSL clutch. Easy ! The good news : there are so many great party pieces right now @netaporter ( lots on sale!) so I have done all the hard work for you pulled together all my favorites from luxe to less. Links in stories ! Or head to fifi.com.au and don’t forget to check out my @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi where you can shop directly from the app ! It’s so easy 💯 #Netaporter #ad #collab #shopwithfifi #partydressing #LtkAustralia #fifireport #chichappens #agelessstyle
A question I am often asked:
What are good trave A question I am often asked:
What are good travel pants?
Also what to wear on the plane?
Also Help , I am going overseas what to pack ? Everybody stop looking !
I have found the best travel outfit & it’s all from @lululemonausnz (including bag and sneakers). Let’s start with this sensational grey jacket @lululemonausnz 
Love and adore a balloon sleeve. Totally day to evening. The fabric is very glamorous almost silky. Especially in sophisticated grey. (Big colour for next season too!) You’ll wear this grey jacket with a white tee & black pants but also with jeans & leggings. Going out to a gallery, lunch or maybe dinner ? Toss it on over a cashmere knit with black pleather pants or skirt with heels and a clutch. It’s THE perfect travel jacket:
It has a zippered pocket with a hidden phone sleeve (YES!). Water resistant it has a sneaky hood that sits inside the collar. And the waist cinches in so you can create shape when you need to. Please nab these fabulous @lululemonausnz black pants! 
Super chic & so damn soft & comfortable you won’t want to take them off. (you won’t if you’re on a 24 hour flight !) ( My travel tip: throw the grey leggings in your carryon and change into them to sleep on the plane)
Side pockets : Yes ! Elastic waistband : Yes ! Breathable : Yes ! Machine washable : Yes ! 
I am obsessed with this black bag @lululemonausnz ,quite incredible for the price ($189!!)( whaaaat?)
Love the clever exterior sleeve that sits over your carryon trolly handles. Yes ! It has a removable, adjustable shoulder strap & a sneaky top quick-access phone pocket . The generous size fits a 16″ laptop but will easily go in the overhead locker or under the seat. While you’re in @lululemonausnz grab an extended shoulder white tee, some sneakers and a belt bag ( ordered this in grey to match my lewk) Essential for travel. But you know that ! Your travel wardrobe sorted thank you @lululemonausnz . Head to fifi.com.au and check out @ltk.australia where you can steal my travel style. I’ll post links in stories. #shopwithfifi #lululemonanz #ad #partner #ltkaustralia
FiFi philosophy! Don’t compromise looking modern FiFi philosophy! Don’t compromise looking modern by trying to look slim. You’ll end up looking neither. Meaning ? Time and again I hear women say about slouchy clothes “ I can’t wear that, it makes me look bigger”. So? Who cares if you look bigger ? Looking slim is not the end game! And when you think about it the word “ flattering” is really just another word for slim right ? Personally I’d rather look modern & chic than worry about whether something will make me look slimmer. Because what happens is when you will try to style something to make it flattering /slimming quite often ( not always !) it will not be modern. And you won’t look smaller either. You end up in no man’s land looking neither slim nor modern. My advice : own it & just wear the damn fashion ! When you start trying new shapes & silhouettes your eye changes and suddenly you get used to new proportions. It’s about updating the classics and embracing the fashion & the new ways of styling. Whatever age or shape you are. The thing is : ALL those ridiculous rules about dressing for your shape are all based on the idea of looking slimmer ! And the problem is those so called “figure fixer” rules CHANGE. Because fashion changes. ( that’s why we love it) And women hold on to those old fashioned rules. But they’re not set in stone. No wonder you’re struggling to get dressed! In my opinion looking slimmer is not the aim. Looking modern & chic is what I’m interested in. Right now it’s about : Baggy + baggy = Yes Baggy + neat = cool Neat + neat = wrong Of course getting dressed is about feeling great so please wear what you feel good in ! For me I FEEL great in Farshun & feel modern in new silhouettes whether they’re slimming or not . So please stop compromising looking modern by trying to look slim : you’ll end up looking neither. Let me know if that resonates with you ! #shopwithfifi #ownitgirl #wearthefashion
Skirts ! It’s the season for skirts . Perfect f Skirts ! It’s the season for skirts . Perfect for summer : it’s easy, simple dressing. One of my favorite skirts is this white denim skirt from @cosstores_au last year. Love it. The white denim means it’s as casual as jeans but the shape is as effortless as a dress. Toss a utility vest over a white tee, pull on white strappy heels and you’re good to go ! As you can see (Swipez vous 👉) I have a bit of a skirt uniform . (Why not ? It means you know your own style! ) It’s pretty clear I tend to gravitate to A line skirts, a shoulder pad tee and some kind of strappy ( usually white !) sandal. All these outfits are just variations of a theme. ( some are from a few years ago)( I’ll still be wearing them again this season !)( yes, I actually WEAR my own wardrobe!) The styling trick ? Keep it simple ! Stick to “expensive” colours in modern shapes: we’re talking skirts that are now midi, A line wrap or pleated. A tee with big shoulders. A top with cutaway shoulders. Oversized or with a roomy cut. In black or white. No need for crazy kooky colours or mad accessories. Because when you update to new modern shapes the clothes do all hard work for you. They instantly look chic & effortless. You don’t need to fuss & joosh & fluff around trying to make it work. You just put on a skirt & a tee, slide into heels : done. You’re out the door. Let me know your favorite lewk ! Head to my page @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi to steal my style ! I’ll be posting lots of similar skirts & tees and you can shop straight from the page! #LTKAustralia #simplestyle #chichappens #agelessfashion
It’s Party time!
Woo hoo.
Whether it’s Chr It’s Party time!
Woo hoo.
Whether it’s Christmas drinks or a New Year’s Eve celebration it’s time to get out of the activewear and practical dad sandals ( yes, I am talking to you!)  into something glamorous, chic and festive. OMG : What to wear?! It’s easy: You need black. You need white. You need brown. Then mix it up with a sprinkle of metallics, gold, silver and sequins. The good news is that this trend is here to stay: It’s time to go cray, cray and invest in anything sparkly and shiny. And it’s nice to know you’ll get more than one season of wear. Remember you don’t necessarily always need a NEW dress, new top or outfit  ( don’t worry I have found lots of chic ones !) but if you need a new lewk the best way to joosh up your current wardrobe is with a few sensational standout bags! Shoes ! Earrings! Accessories are not just for Christmas. (Like kittens and puppies 😆 ). They are perfect for glamorous dressing all year round. Which means you’re not just buying something that’s a one off; Think of accessories an investment dressing with excellent cost per wear. You’ll find all these and more over on the FiFi Report ! All the tips & tricks & everything you need for the party season. Head to FiFi.com.au or hit the link in bio and don’t forget to follow me @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi
Yes, I do actually wear dresses ! Obviously summer Yes, I do actually wear dresses ! Obviously summer is when I reach for a dress . Cool. Chic. Easy. Throw it on & out the door . When I spied this black dress @hm a few months ago I pounced on it. (And frustratingly it was not available online because I would have shared it immediately) (it’s now online in white )( be quick !) I have a shoulder pad obsession: which is why I love this dress : an extended shoulder add drama , a fashion edge, take an average little ol shirt dress from drab to fab. And can we talk about how it’s so voluminous ! Alot of fabric in the skirt: which is what makes it look expensive and chic. Any exaggeration is a good thing in fashion : it gives the allure of generosity and looks like no expense spared. (Ignore the fact that I will need to put aside two hours to iron it every time I go out !) Of course this silhouette (a big skirt, wide shoulders ) means the nipped in waist gives good shape: you’re not totally overwhelmed & lost in masses of black fabric . Oh and did you know summer is the best time to wear black ? That’s because the bare arms & legs add a little freshness & break up the monotone. ( all black in winter can be harder to carry off as it often looks shapeless = snoozefest) Styling tips: Add white shoes , either mules or flat sandals to lighten the look ( though black, brown or silver shoes would work here too). Grab a hobo bag in black or tan & white sunglasses Done ! I’ll add links to the white dress in stories and I will post some similar every day black dresses @ltk.australia #shopwithfifi
Invest early in a trend, get seasons of wear ! Thi Invest early in a trend, get seasons of wear ! This blazer @arketofficial I think it’s 5 years old. The jeans ? @zara maybe 3 years old. The shoulder pad tee @thefrankieshop the same. And I have been wearing white mules since forever ! Maybe 10 years? I just keep wearing them out & then invest in a new pair to repeat wear. These are @loewe by @tonybianco lols. My superpower ( if you had one!) is to forecast fashion : Here are the pieces you should look out for as you shop the sales…in no particular order …you’re welcome 😎 * A sharp shoulder blazer Oversized yes but with a little tailoring & drama in the cut - avoid black as too limiting. * A long trench ( duh of course !)in neutral. Slouchy & loose but with SHOULDERS * A crop jacket; They’re so right with high waist pants & show off your waist ( create shape) with baggy pants . I can’t get enough of them. Be warned! * Anything choc brown or khaki ; LOVE *Anything in brown suede : ADORE * Any tops or shirts with dramatic big sleeves. * An oversized designer tote in brown or black. That’s where I will spend my money !! Stay tuned for my picks … * A designer belt : elevates everything. * Stirrup pants ( they’re coming !) * Any matching sets linen or cotton or knits , trousers suits. Will definitely get another season or two. * Bermuda shorts : next summer you will wear them. * Black or grey baggy barrel jeans ( I’m on the hunt !) * A barn / utility/ worker jacket in neutral or khaki Yes they are HUGE for next season. * A leather jacket : cut like a blazer or a crop trench ( leather biker jackets ? Way too hard). * Slouchy wide leg pants & A line midi skirt are both here for a few more seasons. Look for fabrics that work across seasons (rather than linen or flimsy cotton)( buy linen but don’t spend a lot !) * Black or brown pleather slouchy baggy pants. Always * A touch of animal print in accessories : it’s a trend lurking around the corner, all the print you should own! *Flats shoes , kitten heels, strappy sandals. Here to stay. What to ignore : Fringing, sheer, neon, kooky colours, frumpy florals, cutouts, BOHO no no no (!) anything frilly & fussy or short & tight .
Here’s the thing: It’s ok to have a uniform. I Here’s the thing: It’s ok to have a uniform. It means you know your style. You know what works for you , what you feel good in , what pieces you can rely on. But ! You need to make sure you always update these key pieces into new, modern shapes. You can’t keep wearing the same old white tee and camel pants forever. That’s because ALL classics date. Sorry. The shapes, cut, silhouette, waist, lapel, length , shoulder ALL change over the years. The good news : if you buy early in the trend you’ll get years of wear. Take these fabulous camel pants @lululemonausnz (Yes, @lululemonausnz !). With a super wide leg and a mid to high waist they are cut like a jean. This is good. They’re totally versatile. Stretchy and comfortable they’re in the best camel colour & so will easily go from summer straight into winter. The length is long & groovy. All these things add up = Chic & modern. This white tee ? It’s also updated into a new shape. This is not a tight white tee that you wear hidden under jackets . This Frankie shop Tee from @netaporter has major shoulder pads & in a sturdy fabric so it doesn’t cling. It’s meant to be worn as a statement piece. I have three. I live in them. They give good arms & add a fashion edge where a plain little ol white tee would look exactly that …snoozefest. Styling tip: keep the tonal theme happening with brown, tan or white accessories. I’ve pulled on brown mules @thedom_au the perfect height under these long pants. In terms of a chic bag , let me introduce you to my new shoulder hobo from @shopvestirsi . Swipe 👉It’s casual, roomy, practical and chic - the chic chocolate brown is so right with camel & white. Simple , easy, effortless.. I’ll post the links in stories & as always you can find everything linked on #shopwithfifi @ltk.australia #lululemonanz #vestirsi #fashionuniform #fifireport
