Found : The best knit !  Sometimes in summer you need a knit to throw on when it gets little chilly . ( hello Melbourne !)  I was on the hunt for something that was relaxed, slouchy, casual for holidays but still chic. Also I wanted a knit I could wear ALL seasons and one that would easily slide into my current wardrobe.

Christmas is the perfect time for a burgundy sheer blouse !

I’ve been looking for a pretty sheer blouse , glamorous but also perfect for smart casual.
Nabbed this fabulous one @theiconicau
 Love the colour (!) the romantic wide cuffs on the sleeves and the pussy bow tie at the neck, so chic. And the sheerness means it’s so right for summer but also into next season.

How to wear it ? This blouse is so versatile: I am wearing with jeans of course for a more casual look.
But I’ll also will wear back with choc brown or camel tailored pants when I want to feel a bit more polished (Chocolate brown back with burgundy: So next season !)
 What pulls it all together ? The matching burgundy shoes !  They’re the way to get colour into your wardrobe without going too crazy right?!

#LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip #LTKsummer

Two things to instantly joosh your wardrobe:
A white shoulder pad tee ( it’s all I wear in hot weather !) and white shoes.

Just grab these two pivotal items & then top and tail any item you decide to wear from pleat skirts to pants and shorts.
You’ll instantly elevate any outfit. Kind of makes it easy right ?
The white shoulder pad tee is a winner.
You’ve seen me wear it so many times.

Shorts !
Just as easy as pants , as cool as a skirt.
When you don’t want to wear jeans.
But you want to look chic & relaxed.
The secret : Heels !
It’s about wearing shorts in a more sophisticated way. In a longer length.
Because these are city shorts & not beach shorts ok ?!

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.

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.
A khaki shirt with khaki shorts , a khaki tee with a cargo skirt.

#LTKspring #LTKaustralia

It’s time for a skirt !

Love this midi skirt @lululemonausnz because it’s just one of those easy , totally comfortable every day skirts you can throw on ….without thinking.

It has pockets : thank you ✔️
Great colour : a grey/ beige ✔️( goes with everything )
It has an stretchy elastic waist ✔️
You can move it around & wear it lower on your waist or where you feel most comfortable ✔️
It’s a flattering A line cut ✔️
Soft fabric in a crinkle texture ✔️
Great length ✔️
Machine washable : yes ✔️
I’m wearing size large in the skirt & white tee.

But wait there’s more ! Tap through for some of my favorite skirts & how I’ve been wearing them: usually with a white tee. So easy !

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 !
