Khaki. Olive. Dirty brown. Call it what you like, you might even call it green !
The thing is khaki is just as versatile as camel. Wear it tone on tone. Layer on layer. Head to toe. Or just a dollop.

Office dressing: your summer work wardrobe. Here is everything you need to look chic in the heat heading to the office.

#LTKaustralia #LTKspring

If you’re like me you probably wear jeans ALOT of the time.
So I’m always keen on new ways to style them.
Which is why I’m loving the idea of a little bit of lace and a sporty jacket back with my denim.
Love this blouson @uniqloau which I have in black as well - I couldn’t help myself - is what I’ve been wearing on repeat . Love the laid back vibe, the casual edge and the idea of a shorter jacket feels so right at the moment.
Oh and did you know the funnel neck ( stand up collar !) is the jacket shape of the season?
Barrel jeans are my favourite style of jeans at the moment , and these @zara are the best : love the slouchy look and the fact they’re so damn comfortable.

A check blazer ! You want sharp shoulders or at least wide shoulders and serious tailoring.
It can be a more boxy shape too, and it should be long. A short check blazer is also chic ( a la Chanel !) so if you see one grab it.

Look for a mix of brown, camel and black ( maybe a bit of blue) in the check with a white back ground. That means it will be totally versatile and go back with most pieces in your wardrobe.

#LTKaustralia #LTKspring

A touch of lace is all you need. A peek of lace adds some texture , a touch of pretty, breaks up the colours and acts as a contrast to the sporty vibe of a jacket or the toughness of leather pants. It makes the outfit look a bit more farshun !

#LTKspring #LTKaustralia

3 x ways with Balloon pants !
I pounced on these amazing black crinkle nylon parachute pants @lululemonausnz .
What I love is that the hem can be worn wide leg or cinched to create the balloon shape.
 It’s really the new pant shape of summer
and I am so here for it !
I’m wearing a size medium in the pants and a large in the jackets !

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia #LTKover50style

let’s discuss these new barrel leg pants @uniqloau :
Did you nab a pair …or three ?

They’re the best!

So comfortable I’m almost ignoring ALL the other pants in my wardrobe. Every day I just keep reaching for these again & again. On repeat .
A great cut : Stretchy, high waist, side pockets & long !
Easy, cool, comfortable updated classics that feel modern & so right for spring.

#LTKstyletip #LTKover50style #LTKaustralia

Here’s the thing: You don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe each season.
The FiFi philosophy is about building a wardrobe and then adding to it each season. Just to give it an extra joosh!

These pieces will instantly update your current wardrobe for summer.
Get shopping !

#LTKstyletip #LTKover50style #LTKaustralia

What pieces am I rewearing again this summer?

Beige pants and a white sleeveless knit.
Both still right again this season !
Both classics updated into new shapes .

The beige pants ( old @lululemonausnz ) feel so modern with a barrel leg and a high waist.
The cream poloneck knit @thefrankieshop has shoulders pads so feels sharper, looks cool.

To lace or not to lace ?
That is the question!

Should it be pulled it out ? Swipe 👉👉
Or do we keep it simple and minimal?

This is a good way to Illustrate how a peek of lace adds some texture , a touch of pretty, breaks up the colours and acts as a contrast to the sporty vibe of the jacket. It makes the outfit look a bit more farshun ! Shop the look here

#LTKaustralia #LTKspring #LTKover50style

Its runway to realway!
So let’s talk about these jeans & blazer both updated into new modern shapes from the last Celine show in Paris:   The blazer is long and slouchy. The jeans are barrel and high waist The white shirt: big dramatic cuffs .
Add major accessories: done ! shop the look right here .

This season it really is all about a matching set !
From Double denim to a brown stripe sporty fit and a low key black linen shirt & matching pants : talk about summer ready! These are my fav picks from Jag

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia

I think @lululemonausnz are so clever bridging the gap between comfort and chicness at the moment :

I mean how good are these pants ?!

Chic, stretchy and the best cut ever (!) these Define high rise, wide leg pants work across the board . One minute fabulous for going out with strappy heels and a white T-shirt @lululemonausnz
The next minute so right with sneakers and the matching oversized jacket .

Note: I’m wearing the wide leg pants in size 14 au, the oversized jacket in size 12au and the Nulu zip top in size 14au.

#LTKover50style #LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip

How nice is it to get back into wearing blazers after a winter of big oversized coats ?

Loving barrel jeans & sharp shoulder blazers at the moment !

A grey blazer like this (last season @cosstores_au ) is what I reach for when I want a change from all my neutrals. As chic as a camel blazer and as versatile as a black blazer, ( but not !)
A white rib tank is perfect under a blazer:
It freshens up the grey for spring : You want a higher neckline and it should be neat but not too clingy.

Grey is going to be huge next winter with lots of choc brown . Invest early get seasons of wear.

#LTKstyletip #LTKspring #LTKaustralia

Yes I did.
I got into (the peek of ) lace trend.
I rather like it !
I’m wearing it under the fabulous cream track jacket from @uniqloau

But More on that later …!

Because I wanted to talk about these faaaabulous pants @uniqlo
Did you nab a pair ?
Sorry I’ll rephrase that : did you buy multiple pairs of these pants …in every colour ?
They’re THE best.
I’ve nabbed them in khaki seen here but also in white & navy. Now they’re available in black & camel. Love !

The secret to smart casual?
Fabulous tops !
It’s all about tabletop dressing: focusing on pieces on top of the body that make a statement. After all, that’s where everyone is looking right?
Chic tops look great with everything in your wardrobe from jeans to black pants to simple skirts .
Then go from day to evening by simply changing accessories :
My advice: black and silver is chic or try chocolate, brown and neutrals with all sorts of gold accessories.

Can we talk about this fabulous utility vest ?
I nabbed it last summer and absolutely lived in it. (Bought one in white as well as I loved it so much).
Good news: it’s back in stock @zara .
What’s to love about a utility vest?
it’s practical AND cool.
It’s got a sporty vibe with pockets & a zip.
(How much do we LOVE pockets ?)
It’s your casual alternative to a blazer: a sleeveless utility vest gives you all the benefits of a blazer ( structure, coverage, statement outerwear ) with the freedom of bare arms.
This is good. Especially in summer.
Love it in a neutral ( duh of course 😂) but khaki or a denim utility vest is chic too. Shop the look right here.

#LTKstyletip #LTKspring #LTKaustralia

When in doubt ?
Default to white jeans …under everything:  They’re the best !
 They’re the core of every day style.
The foundation of your wardrobe. The great thing about white jeans is that they are as casual as blue jeans but just a little bit more jooshier. When blue denim looks too laid back , white jeans look more dressed up and polished. 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.  
In terms of which style: know your strengths and weaknesses but keep one thing in mind: Loose jeans are much cooler, easier to carry off than tight jeans. Every single time.
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!

#LTKspring #LTKover50style #LTKaustralia

This is my ode to brown:
It’s been the colour of the last few seasons.
And I’m very happy about; I love it.
I invested early in this trend as soon as I sniffed it out & have been slowly adding pieces. Now I have a wardrobe that really works together and it’s so stress free. No brainer dressing !

Denim. Denim. And more denim. ITrans-seasonal. Ageless. Casual. Cool. Just the thing you want throw on in this cold/warm/chilly spring weather.
THE key to jooshing up your wardrobe?
Update the classics : Yes: that means your jeans !Because when you update your jeans EVERYTHING else will instantly look cool.
(Update your classics in your wardrobe instead of rushing out and buying crazy colours and frumpy florals. Never versatile, don’t look expensive unless they are, aging ! Buy better, fewer pieces.)

Tip: I am not a fan of spending a lot of money on denim : why would you when all the major high street brands like Zara, H&M, Mango and Uniqlo get it so right at great prices. ( they spend a fortune getting the fit right because ….they can). I would rather spend my hard earned cash on a fabulous designer bag or on expensive jacket.
It’s high low dressing at its best !

Double denim: it’s almost derigeur !
Toss on jeans & a shacket suddenly you’re wearing a matching set. Talk about easy.

For these inbetween seasons when you’re sick of your winter clothes but not yet grabbing summer pieces? Denim is perfect !

When you don’t want to look dressed up but still feel cool? Denim does the trick ! When you want to look low key & effortless?
Denim head to toe !  When you want to add a little edge?
Denim mixed back with classics !  When you can’t be bothered styling yourself?
Grab denim. White loafers. A blazer. Duh.

To give you some outfit ideas ( I hope!) here’s a few ways I’ve been wearing denim from winter to spring - blue denim of course but I’m also loving also grey & black jeans too.

Shop the look right here of the best denim pieces .

Oooh Is that a pop of orange ?
Haha don’t die of shock !
It’s the fabulous uniqlo C knit @uniqloau ( I have in camel too) that I’ve tossed on my shoulders.
Let’s just say it’s the way to wear colour when you’re not really wearing colour. 😜

But I am actually here to talk about these white jeans , white tee and the denim shacket . All on sale at @davidjones

What’s to love ?
These are fab pieces you can wear into spring & then straight into next season. I like most pieces to work across the seasons, it’s the way to get mileage from your wardrobe.

Cost per wear is the name of the game, right?

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKsale

A leather jacket !
It’s got to be big & dramatic.
Slouchy so it makes a statement.
Bomber style is good with a Miu Miu/Prada vibe.
Preferably in choc brown.

Do you remember this fabulous jacket @thefrankieshop I nabbed a few months ago from @netaporter ?

* An exaggerated, oversized cut with big shoulders ( massive!) which means it looks fashiony ( that’s the aim right?) ✔️
* A zip front gives it a sporty relaxed vibe ✔️
* A funnel neck, very on trend (which is my favorite as I’m not a fan of fussy collars )
* An elastic waist (or drop waist really!) So versatile it gives you the option to wear it different ways. Zip it up to sit on your waist or let it hang loose & undone over your bottom✔️
* It’s a rich khaki brown : it works back with blacks & browns but also with cream & khaki ✔️

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKwinter

Is it raining where you are ?
If not it will be 😜🌧️
I’d better introduce you to the BEST jacket:
it’s (appropriately) called the Rain chaser jacket @lululemonausnz , it’s soo good this is the second one I’ve nabbed !

What’s to love?
The colour !
I’m having a khaki (army green !) moment as this colour works back with all neutrals, choc brown, navy and denim. Summer and winter.

The cut !
It’s a relaxed cropped cut with room to layer a knit ( I m wearing large but size down if you prefer a neat cut). Oh and it’s got a cinchable hem which means you wear it loose or pulled in.

It’s waterproof !
It’s seam-sealed ( thank you 🙏 @lululemonausnz ) with perforated areas. I’ve been wearing under coats with the hood hanging out ( good to cover hair when you can’t be bothered with an umbrella!).

Of course it doesn’t have to be raining to wear a rain chaser jacket : it is a cool sporty jacket you can wear all sorts of ways.

I’ve tossed it over a white cotton top & favorite daydrift pants both @lululemonausnz ( do you have these pants ?! Add to cart stat , they are faaabulous).( IYKYK)
When it’s freezing out there try the rain chaser jacket @lululemonausnz over a khaki knit with casual pleather leggings.
Add white shoes and you’re good to go !

For exercising or just running errands I’ve been wearing the jacket with leggings : obsessed with the Align superhigh in the colour lava cake ( sooo soft !) or just throw the rain chaser jacket back with matching olive green leggings.
