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.

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 .

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKspring

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

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 !
You can shop the look right here.

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 !

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKjeans

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 .

#LTKaustralia #LTKjeans #LTKstyletip

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.

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia #LTKwinter

What happens when you mix a shirt with a jacket? You get a shacket !

What’s great about this shacket is that it’s almost a peacoat : so you get the casualness of a shirt with the structure and the tailoring of a jacket .
Two great wardrobe basics melded into one chic easy to wear piece.
Which is why I pounced on this fabulous grey shacket from @davidjonesstore.

The other key piece you need in your wardrobe ? Wide leg white jeans from Witchery @davidjonesstore

Perfect in winter styled back with the grey shacket, but chic in spring with just a simple white tee. (note: this fab white tee from Neuw @davidjonesstore is the best, great neckline & sleeves cut to perfection)

Shop my look and all my picks at @davidjonesstore ( some on sale!$

#LTKaustralia #LTKjeans #LTKwinter

The colour combo that feels new & fresh ?
Choc brown with navy & a dash of light blue! It’s a little unexpected, feels cool, looks modern.

If you need an injection of choc brown (hint you do : it’s so chic & definitely here again next season !) then grab this fabulous brown slouchy jacket @uniqloau

I’m wearing :
* A choc brown Heattech cashmere blend long sleeve tee @uniqloau , size large.
* A JW Anderson blue shirt @uniqloau in size large
* Brown knit Uniqlo: C @uniqloau jacket in medium
* Navy jersey barrel pants @uniqloau in size large ( rolled up the hem & also worn long)
* Valentino tan belt @netaporter
* White pointy shoes @commonry
* Any brown/tan bag would here too.

How to keep warm but totally chic this winter ? It’s easy ! You need the Uniqlo C heatteach cashmere blend long sleeve Tee shirts @uniqloau  They are miracle workers ( haven’t taken them off 🙏!)
Extra warm, very thin & fine ( sometimes almost sheer) so they slip easily under anything you wear. The perfect layering piece: I’ve been tossing them under knits, jackets and even shirts (All @uniqloau)swipe 👉 
I nabbed the olive, choc brown and natural ( like a cream) in a mix of turtleneck & round neck. All those colours slipping seamlessly into my wardrobe. ( size large )( they’re neat!)

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia #LTKwinter

This is how you build a versatile modern wardrobe !
Do you recognize these chic camel pants @stylerunner ? ( now on sale !)
Do you remember this fab coat @netaporter ?
Did you nab one of those men’s cashmere knits @uniqloau ?
Did you invest in one of these divine tan bags @demellierlondon @netaporter?
Did you buy these cool white mules @zara ?

These are all great pieces I’ve nabbed this season and worn so many times , so many different ways.

Because that’s the idea right ?

You want to get mileage from your wardrobe, great cost per wear, repeat & wear again.
That’s how we all dress isn’t it !
What you won’t see here are pieces I’ve just worn once & will never see the light of day again.
Why?
Because I believe in being a conscious consumer and building a wardrobe of key pieces I’ll wear again and again.
Sure, I’m lucky enough to be gifted fabulous things but whatever I’m choosing I don’t just grab something wily nily.

I ponder & take my time thinking about what I actually need, the gaps, the missing pieces & what will work back with what I already own.
I try (!) to buy fewer better things : better for your wallet, better for the planet.

The FiFi Philosophies;
Stick to “expensive” versatile chic colours so that everything works seamlessly together ✔️
Update the classics into new modern shapes ✔️
( a long long coat, wide leg pants, slouchy knits)
Invest early in the trend & get years of wear ✔️
Think 3 colours on the body ✔️
White shoes change everything ✔️💯

A fabulous brown winter coat @shopthecurated with shiny chocolate leggings @lululemonausnz ?

Yes ! Of course !

Because fashion & style is all about contrasts:
Pretty with tough.
Tight with oversized.
Hard with soft.
Casual with tailored.
Shiny with flat .
Masculine with feminine.
Sporty with dressed up.
That’s what gives an outfit an unexpected touch and a bit of tension & a look of effortlessness.

It’s all happening here where you have
an oversized /tailored coats with sporty shiny casual leggings .
Perfect for the weekend, when you want to look chic but a little laid back. When comfort is key!

Styling tips:
* White loafers add a third colour & dress up the casual feel of the leggins @lululemonausnz .
* Stick to three colours on the body: that’s brown white & taupe .
* Add a small designer @ysl bag to elevate the lewk.
* Bags & shoes don’t need to match .
* Don’t be afraid to mix textures like shiny leggins with a tailored wool coat @thefrankieshop
* wear a cream sweatshirt as a layering piece like this one @lululemonausnz

I’m wearing a large in the caramel coat
And size small in the chocolate coat.

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia #LTKwinter

A barn jacket !
(This men’s @uniqloau , now on sale , link in stories ) You might call it a safari jacket or a field jacket. Maybe a utility jacket. I call it cool! That’s because the unstructured utilitarian shape feels new. Looks new. Looks casual yet sophisticated. Gives the air of nonchalance ( this is good!).
What’s to love ? It’s not a blazer, a crop trench or a parka. ( though it almost is!) But it works just as well. It is casual yet never boring. it’s almost a wear year round jacket: works so well with the laid back Australian lifestyle. Totally versatile you can throw a barn jacket with a chic pencil skirt or slouchy leather pants.

Styling tricks:

* It should have pockets, it might have a cord collar , leather trim or a funnel neck. It needs to be big !
 * Layer a lighter colour knit under the jacket ( don’t default to black !)

* Wear a barn jacket with a heel, boots, white mules/ kitten heels. The contrast of high low that makes it interesting & cool.

* A chic designer bag in brown works back with the shoes but not necessarily matches everything.

* This is men’s size large ( they call it a blouson @uniqloau ) : LOVE IT. Make sure it’s oversized and BIG , that what makes it fashiony. Needs to make a statement. As I always say you don’t want to look like the Queen in Balmoral!

Jetting off on a Euro summer holiday?
You need to think about your travel wardrobe. The trick ?
Plan your wardrobe around colours first: You want colours that go together = versatile.
Colours that love each other ( like you and your family after a 24 hour flight).
Colors that looks expensive but don’t have to be. That means what I call “expensive” colors like Black, white, neutrals, brown, grey and metallics. A soupçon of blue and lots of denim.

The aim: look chic, effortless and have lots of different outfits.
Don’t worry it’s easy.
There will be no breathing into a paper bag as everyone waits for you to get dressed.
Why?
Because you will take photos of all your outfits before you jet off. So you can cleverly refer to your secret look book before you head out . That means you can nonchalantly throw on your outfit in 5 minutes flat. And everyone is happy.

My best advice: only pack things you LOVE wearing. Never pack pieces you think you might wear. Because you won’t.

FiFi alert !
Look closely at this fabulous puffer jacket @lululemonausnz

Don’t know what it could be ?

This puffer jacket has clever ZIP OFF detachable sleeves ! Suddenly it’s a vest : how good is that ?

Two for the price of one.
One day it’s cold enough for a serious puffer jacket .

Perfect for all sorts of winter days .
Wherever you are. Totally light and so very warm too.

I absolutely love it because apart from being transformable , it’s the best colour ( heathered bone) and the chicest cut.
An oversized fit with exaggerated proportions.
Size down if you prefer a slimmer fit : (I got a large ( could probably go a medium). You can layer a lot of pieces under it if you need to!

Also it’s water resistant, windproof with zippered hand pockets & hidden phone sleeve & plus a cinchable hem ( so good on freezing days !)

I’m also wearing :
* my new favorite black velvet pants @lululemonausnz : wide leg and elastic waist & so versatile I’ve been wearing with my camel coat ( see previous post !) I’m wearing size L

Add sneakers and you’re out the door.
Styling tips:
think 3 colours on the body so cream , black & camel - two colours can be just too matchy match and more than three ?! Who has time to style that ?!
Keep the pants long & slouchy.
Make the outerwear the stand out piece like a camel coat !

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKwedding

This week we’re talking sneakers.
Easy, edgy, low key, sporty, cool, comfortable.
What’s not to love !

A good idea is to invest in sneakers that are in versatile colours so you get maximum mileage.
You want to be able to easily toss them back with all sorts of lewks.

Which is why I nabbed these fab New Balance sneakers @Stylerunner:
They work with everything in my wardrobe✔️
A retro slimmer style ✔️
White & cream : totally versatile ✔️
Love with this fabulous camel trouser suit
also from @Stylerunner ✔️
(A match made in heaven: the sneakers add a casual edge to the trousers and the suit dresses up the sneakers) ✔️
A black sole : makes it easy to style with a black bag / pants but also works with camel coat ✔️
Super light & so comfortable ✔️

Remember shoes are THE quickest and easiest way to update up your current wardrobe.

#LTKwinter #LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia

There are so many fabulous sneakers around it’s hard to choose which ones. It can get confusing right ? Never fear FiFi is here ! You might have white sneakers but it’s now time to update to new styles and colours. Because shoes are THE quickest and easiest way to update up your current wardrobe.

Hint : these sneakers are not to wear when exercising. Mais non ! These are for when you’re out and about: when you want to look casual , laid back & comfortable. ( But look like you have made an effort !)

In terms of colour go for white of course but also love choc brown, neutrals and caramels. (Surprise! Haha ). Perfect because they slip so easily straight into your current minimalist wardrobe.  But if you want an instant injection of colour ( dare I say !) then sneakers in bright shades are the way to go. Tip: always look for a camel sole ( not black ) means they will automatically link back to your neutral wardrobe.
Check out my pick of the best sneakers !

#LTKover50style #LTKwinter #LTKaustralia

Brown jeans.
In particular brown barrel jeans @hm
I’ve been living in them all winter.
I LOVE them !
As chic as brown pants. As casual & laid back as any of your favorite jeans.

I keep reaching for them again & again.
And the thing is they slip so easily into my current wardrobe because the colour …effortlessly goes back with everything else I own in choc brown! No surprises there 💯

Guys it’s not that hard to build a wardrobe that makes getting dressed so easy ! Just stick to versatile classic colours but updated to new modern shapes ( barrel leg jeans, oversized knits, big coats) then add white shoes.
It’s the FiFi philosophy : it couldn’t be easier!

Outfits:
* A grey knit @thefrankieshop & YSL belt @netaporter & white mules @zara sunglasses @aireshades @theiconicau

* A cream knit @hm , white /brown sneakers @adidasau & bag @demellierlondon @netaporter

* Leather jacket @thefrankieshop , men’s cashmere knit @uniqloau , sunglasses @arketofficial white shoes @commonry plus also the jeans work with ballet flats ( old)

* Brown coat @thefrankieshop, cream sweatshirt @lululemonausnz , white shoes @tonybianco

You need leather (or pleather)in your life.
Pivotal to your winter wardrobe.

Love my new pleather jacket in delicious brown @netaporter : how it works with casual jeans but also with skirts & boots.

But I have literally lived in leather pants in winter for years ( my friends laugh because they know that’s what I’ll turn up in !) . I’ve also been loving all sorts of pleather skirts ( A line & pleated) as well as in a few pleather shirts too.

Here are my picks of the best leather pieces you need this winter !

#LTKstyletip #LTKwinter #LTKaustralia

Let’s talk coats!
They’re the linchpin of your winter wardrobe.

What to look for ?
* A coat that’s long. Mid shin. Longer. Knee length?
That length is so out it’s about to come back in. (And I’m not joking !)
* Oversized. Go up a size. I always do. An inexpensive coat always looks alot chicer & more expensive if it’s a generous cut.
* It can be single breasted or double breasted: just make sure it up covers ‘the situation’. Meaning ? Make sure it sits across your front even when it’s undone. Because who wears a coat done up (except in London mid winter ?)
* Look for a coat in a versatile FiFi approved colour. You know what that means : Camel, navy, grey, brown, white , khaki , furry, suede or even leather.
* Walk past black. It’s not going to give you vava voom, bang for your buck.
* Black is going to bring everything down. Can be so hard to style, have to try really hard with a black coat, it has to be VERY exaggerated to look cool.
* Everybody keep calm: if you have a long black winter coat (and I do have a few!) then keep wearing them.
* Surround a black coat with tan, white and camel. Fabulous boots. Cream knits. Light wash denim. Instant chic. Default to white under there.
* Remember big shoulders are happening. This is great in a coat. Makes a statement. Looks edgy. Gives shape and drama. A more tailored coat is looking new but it’s still got to be BIG and LONG. And a cape is ALWAYS fabulous.

Need some ideas and fashion inspo?
Of course you do! Swipez vous for all the ways I’ve been wearing my favorite coats this season .
From chocolate brown to camel, latte & black.
Some are a few years old so I’ll add the ones in store and lots of similar here !
