Here’s what hot in the shops this week and my best buys from the sales..
Economy class.
General Pants:
You know that when something appears as an item du jour you can be guaranteed the copies will start to appear: I must say I love the cute version of the Alexander Wang Rocco bag I spied in here. It’s in a grey fabric with a few silver studs along the sides but not along the bottom of the bag. It has a shoulder strap as well. What a great price $45. What a great bag to the weekend. (Sorry about my bad photo from my iphone!)
K Mart:
I see a few bargain buys here but how can you go past the Khaki cotton shirt dress? So cool , so right now. Wear with gladiators when you hit St Tropez. yes, it’s also in black $25. Also check out the cute shirt dresses with a frill down the front and a brown belt $25.
Sportsgirl:
My pick here this week is of course a copy of the Rocco bag in pleather. (see below). It’s for those younger FiFi readers who don’t have a budget for the original but want a quick fashion fix for $49. Also check out the faux fur stone/scarf for $29, see below. Go for the black version: it looks chicer. There are cute black clogs /mules $129 too.
Esprit:
Love the cotton single breasted boyfriend blazer in navy or stone with requisite stripe lining so you can roll up the sleeves. It might not keep you warm now but it’s perfect for your beach holiday $149. What will keep you warm is the fabulous choc brown velvet stretchy blazer $149. The black has sold out but the brown is just as chic and will work with navy and chinos and jeans.
Witchery:
My picks in the sale is the accessories: Buy the Bonnie shoulder bag : it’s the Givenchy copy- it’s true - in fabulous vintage style leather now $169. It may have sold out in black but the cream is right for summer and next season anyway, also check out the crop nylon trench jacket as I mentioned previously for $69. what a bargain! Buy the bling crystal necklace on ribbon for $69( see below) and the faux fur pull through scarf $89 and you are all set for accessories.
Business Class;
Veronica Maine:
Head here for the best long sleeve tee to wear under jackets and blazers. It has just the right lowm round neckline and it’s stretchy and not too bulky so perfect for under layering. It comes in a chic burnt orange (which works with brown, black and navy) and a fabulous oatmeal almost grey. $89.
Country Road:
Love the new cotton utility jacket: it’s like a bomber with front pockets and buttons down the front: In a grey or shiny black. It has rib details on the cuffs and hem. Great for weekends to toss on when you still want to look groovy but casual $199 : Also buy the black knit cape sweater with an exposed zip; it’s so cool! $129. Great for weekends and eating a big croissant. Great for layering. Love the grey marle very Alexander Wang round neck sweat top as well $99.
Sambag:
Best buys here from the sale are: the black and white ocelet clutch with a silver clasp. So chic, so right. The only way to wear animal print is in accessories, now $117. Of course you probably own a lot of trench coats by now but hey why not one more? Check out the brown khaki double breasted cotton trench now $132. Oh and there are ballet flats galore for $112. So there.
Max and Co:
One of my favourite stores and we are so happy to run in here when there is sale because the prices are almost economy! My picks are the black gumboots now $154, the fabulous black rabbit fur crop jacket, usually referred to in the fashion industry as a fur chubby now $600 and the very cool black and grey short sleeve knit dress with asymmetrical zip and paneling. I don’t think it’s too clinging and will look fabulous with flat boots or ankle boots. Now $237.
Arthur Galan;
My picks in the sale are: the fabulous leather zip vest or more like a sleeveless jacket, with a huge shaggy neckline trim now $499. Buy the gorgeous grey knit drape front V neck sweater now $199 and a lovely go anywhere, black chiffon floaty dress with puff sleeves and a stud belt $299. A lot of amazing bargains here plus shoes, scarves and jewellery.
