Target:
There are racks of stuff on sale: You can pillage your way through that. It’s far too tiring for me to go through so much STUFF. I am here to report on what’s new. (Tip: As all FiFi report subscribers know: hold your nose in the shoes department to overcome the smell of plastic).
Best buys include:
• The short 3?4 length grey cotton, double-breasted trench. I love a trench. I am addicted to trenches. Sexy and practical everyone needs many trench coats. Rain? Who said anything about rain? It’s about looking fabulous. This one is belted with tortoise shell buttons, $69. It must be in black too. I just know it.
• There is a groovy Hot Options grey cotton single-breasted blazer: it’s shrunken with one button and interesting draping detail around the button, $59. The blazer jacket is hot. Of course if you had listened to FiFi you would have invested jackets with shoulder pads when I told you LAST season. Shoulder pads are everywhere on the runways. So are sexy sharp blazers. And I do declare this little one here at Target is a winner. Wear it over a white tank and your favourite jeans skinny or flare. Whatever suits your fat bottom.
• So is the Black military wool melton jacket. Talk about on trend. Talk about buy this now and wear it later -in a couple of months- when this heat is finished. This cute jacket is a winner it has a round neck with 4 little satin covered buttons and satin military stripes and detailing running across the front. If you get my drift. Military jackets are hot. Look at Balmain. (see left and at style.com). He showed with ripped jeans and a slinky Tee. And just look at model Erin Wasson she totally rocks the look, $79
• Check out the Purple or black sheer chiffon (poly?) sleeveless blouse with a ruffle front: You can wear this blouse with everything. Perfect with jeans and your monster shoes. Perfect with a harem pants and your monster shoes. Perfect with shorts. Plus you can wear it now. In this heat. Cool, $34
• This is not something you can wear in this heat: A short little Fake fur gilet in a brown fur. But hey it’s a big trend that is a-coming for next season, $89. If it’s in target now you know faux fur gilet is going to be everywhere this winter.
• If you have the energy then I think you should dive into the racks of floral and black maxi dresses on sale…
• In the shoes I spy some very-out-there-Jimmy Choo style fringed brown suede flat gladiators. They are very fashion. Wear to the beach. For $29 you can do what you want with them. Give them to the cat.
• I spy some new short patent boots with a peep toe. For $39 it’s worth trying them on. Love a short boot for winter. Again
Kookai:
SaleSaleSale. There is 50% off sale…
Please check out the following. They will make you very happy:
• The orange/red/pink satin long maxi dress that has a chic swirl print in seriously big oversized print. A lovely dress to wear now. With flats. With a tan (fake of course) and with a Gin and Tonic. Hic, $225.
• Buy the strapless multi print maxi dress in an orange/pink/red satin. It drops from just under the boobs. For You. It is a loose silhouette and so you could almost smuggle in a new Balenciaga bag into the house under there. Your husband would never know. Or you could eat a few more Almond magnums, $275.
• You need to go and have a look at the rack of fabulous chiffon/organza/muslin blouses now %70 off! Gorgeous in a lot of colours: black, blue, violet and white. A blouse is one of THE items for the season. Wear it now. Wear it with your Givenchy leather pants when it gets cold. You want the lovely white organza drawstring poets top now $60.
• Love, love, love the long, loose, very sexy caftans in black or a bright blue sheer chiffon. They are very simple, see through and with a V-neck and batwing sleeves with a brooch at the front, $130. Maybe take off the brooch detail at the cleavage if you don’t like. These caftans are just the thing for tossing over bikinis and lying round the pool being a lazy slut. Fabulous buy.
• For winter you need the black leather blazer with asymmetrical zip not on sale, $600. You know the biker jacket is still hanging in there for another season or so. Wear this with your black jeans or over a dress.
• Love the very Basic lightweight wool round neck long sleeve Tee, $80. This is a wardrobe staple. I like this one because it is not a scoop and sits just at the right point at the neck.
• Love the satin black harem pants, $280. You know you want them. You know how to wear to wear because every week there are instructions here. You are not Dream of Genie. You are a fashion editor from French Vogue. That means you wear harem pants with monster Bondage heels and a slinky Tank.
• Check the Short black leather jacket not on sale, $380. It has short 3?4 sleeves with a button at the top and a loose empire cut. Almost a swing bolero. It is not for people with big bazookas. But it is cute.
• You need basics this season so check out the stacks of Tee shirts here on sale too.
Witchery:
New in this week are:
• The beachy casual black and white floral print maxi dress with a V-neck. It has wide detachable belt and gros-grain ribbon ties this is so right for right now. Throw it on over your salty beach skin, slide into your flat glads and you are summer incorporated, $159.
• Oh I see another trench but this time it’s a short jacket trench. This is fab: In cotton stone (or is it cream?) it’s a short double-breasted trench jacket with front button and maybe a little A-line. Or a wider cut rather than tight and fitted. This gives it a casual feel. And means you can eat that extra piece of pavlova with out having to do undo a button. It has front pockets and trench style belt tabs on the sleeves. Wear this on weekends with jeans, or with a flirty skirt. Love it with heels and short shorts. Love it with a sexy pencil skirt for work, $149.
• Check out the sheer silk floral print blouse with self covered buttons. In pretty soft colours and a cream back ground. It is a little Boho NoNo but wear it now in summer. It has shirring and a ruffle trim and 3?4 sleeves. Florals are hanging on there in a Haute Hippy kind of way but I am not a big fan of florals. They can be tricky to wear. And have the potential to look frumpy. And OLD. Sorry to swear at you. You need to sex up florals so wear it with something short or with sexy monster heels. I am not a floral person. In fact I don’t own any print. Except Missoni towels. And they are stripes. And you can’t wear them, $139.
• Speaking of Missoni you should check out the red/burgundy/pink very Missoni esque silky stripe V-neck, belted long cardigan as reported last week… $139. Love it back with florals. So very Dries don’t you think?
• Love the new linen cotton cropped cargo pant with front zip, back pockets and cargo details. They seem to have rib on the hem of the leg, which makes them very harem. Fabulous, $99.
• Also love the fabulous Cotton textured crop Harem iss style pants with a front zip and a kind of pleat front. There is also the elastic detail on on the leg hem, $119. (see left)
• Also love the very Prada heels with two petals on the front in black suede with a peep toe, $189.

Bettina Liano:
On sale but there are also some new season pieces arrived in store. Best buys include:

• Love the sleeveless vest or is it a jacket? It’s a floppy fabric and a fabulous buy to wear right now. Very YSL esque it is double breasted and quote short to the top of the hips.

• If you have legs that are worth bringing out then buy the dark denim short shorts with white stitching, $195 or the simple dark denim skinny jeans with no visible stitching.
