Do you remember this bomber jacket @theiconicau ?
Decided it was just the thing to toss over my new orange tank which I nabbed this month @lululemonausnz .

Pulled on my favorite white barrel jeans @zara as I’m loving this pop of colour back with camel and white.
It works don’t you think ?!

Adding a pop of red or orange is a simple way to joosh up your neutrals without - you know - going nuts with full on colour haha , just a little soupçon is enough for me !

#LTKover50style #LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip

This leather jacket @minima_esenciales @theiconicau

It’s updated into an oversized modern shape in a patent shiny fabric , very cool !
And the rich burgundy brown colour feels new.
I’m wearing a size 12 jacket
Size large in the knit tank
Size 30 in barrel jeans

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKover50style

A little bit of colour !
A touch of orange goes a long way:
Layer an orange tank under a camel fleece lined jacket with white slouchy pants. It’s a trans seasonal look !
I’m wearing a large in the organic cotton tank and it’s very long : go down a size .

Let’s talk about this jacket !
It’s so warm, fleece lined ✔️
Water resistant ✔️
Tpuff sleeves add a fashion edge ✔️
The funnel neck chic AND warm✔️
Elastic hem & cuffs ✔️
I’m wearing a large and it’s big so go down a size if you prefer neater look ✔️

It’s coat weather !

Only too happy to pull out my winter clothes.
Must be THE only good thing about this cold snap🥶right?

Here’s a few of my favorite coats, some new, some old but all of them have one thing in common ; long & oversized .

Ok that’s two but you get the idea 😜.

If you are buying a new coat this season this is what to look;
Go for camel, brown or grey. khaki is good too. Avoid black as your first choice. Outerwear needs to make a statement and black won’t give you bang for your buck. ( I have a few black coats that I still wear : not wrong just not worth spending money on IMO).

Look for double breasted or single breasted , but make sure when it’s undone it sits across the body. You want good strong shoulders and a roomy loose cut. And make sure it’s longer in length (over the knee length) : in fact the longer the better.

Hope this gives you some ideas on styling and how to wear a long coat this season .

Shop my picks of the best coats.

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKover50style

Black ! It’s always chic.
The trick ? Update to new modern shapes like a bomber jacket & barrel jeans.
And make sure there something exciting going on with the texture like leather !
Steal my style , shop this look

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKover50style

Shop this & all things I’ve picked out this winter @lululemon here

#LTKstyletip #LTKwinter #LTKover50style

Can we talk about this fab quilted jacket @lululemonausnz :I absolutely love it !

* The colour : it’s a delicious olive khaki with a hint of brown that is soooo chic.

* It’s lightweight but 900 down fill so it’s snug & warm but doesn’t weigh you down.

* Light enough to layer easily under a coat if you need to.

* It zips up to a cool funnel neck ( so right this season) ( and warm).

* sleeves are curved & voluminous so gives it a fashion edge.

* Love the elastic cuffs and hem ( you can tuck it under to sit on the waist)

* The colour of the zip matches the jacket ( so irksome when it is brassy right?)

* It’s so light it packs away into the cute little matching bag that clips in the pocket. Makes it perfect for travel !

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKover50style

It has two different length straps - a shorter shoulder strap or you can wear it long ✔️
It squishes into a slouch style so it looks more casual rather than too “done” & structured ✔️

A touch of red !
It’s something I’ve been talking about for a while now :
a pop of colour that will easily & effortlessly slide into your current wardrobe .

How so ?

Because red looks great with chocolate brown , the new colour combination of the season.

The best way to wear red :
Accessories of course !

I nabbed this fabulous red wool scarf @netaporter : a stand out piece of colour that instantly updates your wardrobe.
(And it might just keep you warm too!)

But don’t just stop at a red scarf , you can also rock a red shoe, a red bag or try a red knit tied around your waist.
Love red hosiery and the idea of a bright red lipstick !

The trick is to just have one single piece in red and keep it as the centre of attention. Then build a wardrobe around it that’s simple, easy & chic. From choc brown pants & white shoes to a leather skirt & boots .

You can find this fabulous scarf @netaporter plus lots of other fantastic accessories on sale with another 15% off ; yes, please !

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKstyletip

Let’s talk about this gorgeous brown coat @assemblylabel !

* It‘s the best cut: slouchy with big shoulders and roomy dramatic sleeves ✔️

* Which means it looks more tailored and chic rather than unstructured and shapeless ✔️

* It’s the right longer length ✔️

* THE most beautiful soft luxurious wool fabric ✔️

* You can wear it belted or just casually hanging loose ✔️

* an incredible price for the quality : I LOVE it ✔️

How am I styling it :

It is relaxed and casual over a white tee , with baggy jeans and loafers. Or for a more elevated dressier lewk I have tossed it over the matching @assemblylabel cashmere knit ( the best cut and so soft !) with (the low curve mid rise ) white jeans @assemblylabel and my white pointy heels.

Hint /Styling tip: stick to the same colours on top of the body so a brown coat and knit, or grey coat and knit , or say a khaki jacket and green tee back with any of your jeans .

The divine brown soft leather oversized tote @assemblylabel keeps it all chic and tonal : done.

The winter wardrobe now sorted thx @assemblylabel 💯❤️

I’m wearing ;
size large in the coat & cashmere knit
Size 29 in the jeans ( go up a size !)

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKwinter

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 that is how you’re going to wear it (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.
* why ? Black 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 DO have a long black winter coat (and I have a few!) then keep wearing them. Just don’t buy a new one.
* 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 so 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.

Swipez vous for all the ways I’ve been wearing my favorite coats this season . Some are a few seasons old but I’ll add similar ones right here !

#LTKaustralia #LTKwinter #LTKstyletip

Something you might not think you need.
But then you realize how versatile they are !
Because this season it’s all about interesting colour combinations and chocolate brown is your starting Point.

Chocolate brown pants obviously works back with lots of tones of camels and browns, but you know that right ?!

What’s new is to think about mixing a grey knit or a burgundy blouse back with slouchy brown pants. Totally transeasonal In summer I loved a white top with the same slouchy brown pants.

A little bit chicer than jeans and a little more exciting than classic black pants you’ll find chocolate brown pants are instant wardrobe updaters !

I nabbed these last year @theiconicau but there are so many great brown slouchy pants around ! I’ll add links in stories and as always check out #shopwithfifi @ltk.australia for all my picks & the links to #fififavfinds

To have a versatile modern wardrobe that has great cost per wear , a wardrobe that makes you feel chic and confident.
Which means you can get dressed with your eyes closed. In five minutes flat ! Every day. Yes, please!

How to be chic on winter weekends or when you’re living your best every day life? Jackets. Jackets and more Jackets ! It’s the secret to effortless dressing.
They make or break an outfit.
Instantly joosh up everything in your wardrobe. Outerwear is where you need to spend your money. I’m talking Bomber jackets, Barn jackets, blouson jackets and everything in between.
What’s not to love : these jackets are cool ! They will give you structure.
Make a statement. Add a fashion edge.
They might even keep you warm. Ha!

Here are all my favorite jackets I’ll be wearing again this season. Hope it gives you some ideas !

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKwinter

It’s getting a little chilly !
Time to pull out your sweaters - finally- and try new ways of styling them.

Remember the FiFi philosophy: update the classics.
Stick to classics colours but new modern shapes :
You want a sweater that’s slouchy with room to move.
You want camel pants that are wide leg, and jeans that are baggy.

Then look at new ways of styling : a knit layered over a lace cami - you get the contrast of a pretty top with a wintery knit .

The lace adds texture, breaks up the brown tones and is a little unexpected, something soft with the denim.
Add heels , grab a clutch and when it gets colder throw on a long brown on your shoulders . Easy !

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 ?
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.

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

Prada, Hermes and Chanel !
What more does anyone want for Mother’s Day!

The best place to go for everything luxurious in beauty : @davidjones
You’ll find everything you need to spoil your mum ( or yourself!) on Mothers Day.

This fabulous lipstick from Prada is slightly matte, a beautiful colour & will stay on ( even after a Mother’s Day champagne & nibbles)

Personally I think there is nothing chicer than a gorgeous Chanel compact to whip out of your tote to subtly touch up your makeup in public (& it’s a fabulous blush too) !

The Chanel hand lotion is such a great present ! Designed especially to toss nonchalantly into your bag to use through out the day …and it smells divine.

Love Hermes perfume but can’t decide which fragrance your mum would prefer? This set of four is the best solution

whatever age or shape you are. The key to looking modern and effortless? Update ! Update ! Update ! Yes, update the shape of your favorite denim. And watch as your whole wardrobe suddenly gets an injection of chic.  
Here’s the denim you need to invest in right now :
( the good news: every SINGLE item right here is available from THEICONIC )#ad @theiconicau

Outfit 1. 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 !
