FiFi Alert!
FiFi has fallen off her Balenciagas and will be recovering in rehab in Paris for two weeks.
Sorry.
There will be two shorter FiFi Reports posted on FiFi.com.au over the next 2 weeks to keep you from becoming too daggy while I am away.
Now back to shopping this week..
Witchery :
It’s looking all soft and caramel and beige and cream in here which is great if you are heading north for some warmth. Or going to Paris like me.
My picks are :
- Of course I am drawn straight away to the gorgeous trench: it’s soft and draped with no visible buttons: it’s a floppy linen tencil fabric and just so chic for trans seasonal dressing $199
- Love the cream double breasted peaocat. I am not sure who can wear a cream “dusty shell ” jacket: I would have chocolate croissant dribbling down it in two seconds flats. But for those who are always pristine it’s for you. Love the cocoon shape and the high collar $349.
- Love the grey marle jersey cami top with black grograin straps: yes, that’s a handy little number to throw under jackets. Will work from day to evening for sure. Grey marle is still a big look for next season and you could layer this under a white tee. $59.
- In the bag department check out the new taupe or crinkled tan two handle tote: tan is a huge story worn with denim for next season and this is a great way to update the wardrobe in one swipe. $229.
Cue:
Best buys on sale are;
- The fabulous black double breasted, very tailored, sleeveless coat dress : it’s like a long vest and very chic with a little subtle silver lurex pinstripe. This is a very important shape and very reminiscent of YSL, Stella, Gaultier and Chloe. It’s now $88. That’s outrageous . A great buy.
- You want the amazing over the top very Gucci-esque purple/blue faux fur chubby: it’s mad and over the top but what a great buy for $95. True.
- Or if you want something to keep you warm then you should have the brown faux fur crop and short sleeve, little pull on jacket now $94.
- Buy the black velvet pinstripe jacket: it has a peplum detail around the waist and shoulder pads and it’s very chic. This will definitely take you through to next winter. A hot buy $159
Nine West:
Checkout the sale but also I see a few new season shoes have arrived in store:
- Buy the low heel, moc croc sling back heels with a round toe . Perfect for those for work who don’t and can’t wear outrageous killer heels. I feel for you. Bless $130. In a few colours.
- There are chic little strappy summer sandals with crisscross ankle straps and plaiting. They have a cute tiny little wedge cork heel. For you $139. In tan or black.
- Check out the very Balenciaga two handle tote in black if you need a new bag and you are on a budget ( but it doesn’t seem to be such an outrageous obvious copy). $89
- There are some chic , very Lanvin style silver metallic ballet flats on sale for $69 and some fabulous gold and brown platform heels on sale $59. cool.
- If you suddenly feel like you need long boots then buy the brown or black boots with a slight faux snakeskin detail and a good walk-able heel now on sale $129.
Business Class:
Longchamp:
I love this store and there are always fabulous little zip leather cases, diaries and of course those fabulous nylon totes.
My pick this week is The Kate Moss for Longchamp collection and you want :
- The fabulous big, oversized black and white zebra tote about $2000.
- The small black clutch with lovely stitching around the edge. $295: it has cute black and white zebra lining inside. So you can quickly see the Amex lurking inside.
- The grey suede one handle tote with a few silver zips about $1100.
- The plain black bag almost Balenciaga style inspired bag with outside silver zips $1200.
- The chic de la red weekend tote or is it a day bag? with two handles about $1800.
- You will love the camel style one handle bag about $1300.
Country Road:
My picks of the new pieces in this week:
- The black and white stripe T with all different panels and drape twist details on the front. It’s loose in shape and I like how they are showing it with a jeweled necklace $99.
- While in the stripe top department you should have the long sleeve knit stripe tee with those shoulder details sticking out and a V neck: Yes, we saw a version of this in Portmans last summer but hey the fabric here is great. Still a chic look for summer. But I might vomit if I see another stripe Tee! $129.
- Love the new grey cotton chinos. A little different in shape from last season . You know chinos are all you need. Wear with heels and rolled up to show them off. A must buy to replace boring black pants $89.
- You want the cute navy shoe-string cotton nightie. So cute! Almost to wear as a dress when you hit the south of France. $89
- Buy the navy and black silk cami : it’s for warmer weather but great for going under jackets. I know I have been banging on about navy and black together for years and now you can buy it already put together. $99
- Check out the cute navy and black animal print, very Lanvin style dress . It’s sleeveless, with a round neckline and has cheeky black inserts at the waist $229: love this with black opaques and boots/heels and layered over a metallicus long sleeve top. Wear under a trench and voila! Summer to winter.
Exciting news!
