We’re backstage again at a Fashion show!
As I mentioned last issue I’ve been busy shopping and styling up two shows which I presented on stage last week with Charlotte Dawson at Westfield Burwood.
We quickly snapped off a few shots of our lovely model Angela and the outfits of the second show during the fitting (so excuse the bad lighting and no hair and makeup!). As I mentioned last week each piece is worn two ways. It’s about getting mileage from your wardrobe and making those pieces work hard!
Some of the looks are fabulous for the runway ( it’s a fashion show!) but the idea is to take inspiration from these outfits and think about new ways of wearing colours and shapes. Helloooo! How can you go wrong at these fabulous prices: Talk about totally cheap but chic !
Let me know what you think and your favourite outfits!

Fifi I love all your outfits, especially the coloured pants (from this week and last week). But your gorgeous model is so slim and tall! Can a short, curvy girl wear coloured pants too? Or should I stick with black on the bottom (which I resigned myself to, years ago!)
Thanks for the lovely feedback! I think you should try some of the pants on and see what you think: You know you should wear them with heels so you might be surprised!
I love the way you’re doing these outfits and putting them together Fifi - I’ll be able to drag the images up on my laptop as I’m madly getting ready in the mornings! A little inspiration goes a long long way! Thanks
Where can is Sheike and Glassons stocked in rAdelaide?
I think if you google it you will find out but I would say both are online!
I love all of these outfits. I wish that I lived closer to you to have a styling session - we have such similar taste. Thanks for all of the work you put into this fabulous site. x
Fifi, I really miss your in store browsing info….I don’t want to see outfits…I want to know whats in stores now….It really helps me out
Thanks! the outfits are fun for a change but don’t worry shopping is back next week
That’s great it helps you out!
Thanks! Thrilled you love the outfits ; you must book personal shopping next you’re in Sydney!
Fifi I suddenly love candy pink particularly after I saw Sarah Murdoch donning peg leg trousers in the same shade as that gorgeous trench. She teamed them with a simple black blouse and black pumps - divine! I’ve been searching everywhere for similar trousers with no success - do you recall seeing any in your travels. I’d so love to know, thanks!
Yes I think she was wearing Celine ! You should check net a porter but I will keep an eye out and let you know if I see any!
