Golden Globes

January 20th, 2012 | Posted in Blog

The Golden Globes have kicked off the award’s season. Who got it right and who got it wrong on the red carpet?

May we present FiFi’s Top Five Favourite (and Frumpy) Frocks!

FiFi’s Five favourite Frocks…
Michelle Williams
This is a girl who obviously lurves fashion. She instinctively gets the trends without letting them overwhelm her (Such as big bustles and tacky trains: yes we’re talking to you Sarah Michelle Gellar). This look gets all the ticks. Long sleeve dress. TICK. Cobalt blue velvet. TICK. A narrow slinky cut. TICK. A cute crop do and a cute headband. Tick-a-licious. Head to the top of the class.

Emma Stone
Lanvin: how do we love thee? Let me count the ways. Love the colour ( burgundy is THE shade for winter). Adore the cut and the pretty pleating. Crying over the over the top Wonder Woman belt. (Maybe she was inspired by Spiderman?). Love the simplicity. This is so fashion. She rocks.

Charlize Theron
A pale pink asymmetrical dress with a big fat bow/thingy on the side? Who’d think that would work? But Charlize looks like a glamorous movie star in this divine Dior. Even the double sided tape was immaculate. I die!

Zooey Deschanel
With a name like Zooey she can afford to be showey. She’s an Indie actress. Some might describe her as an arty, intellectual Bohemian with a kooky edge. It’s a match made in heaven with Prada. This is chic, modern and a little adventurous. Just ignore her tuxedo manicure. Wrong!

Freida Pinto
Doesn’t she look adorable? Who needs a frou frou frock when you can glide glamorously up the red carpet looking like this. It’s Prada. Shut up. Nothing else to say.

 

Top Five Frou Frou Frumpy Frocks (What were they thinking?)

Erin Wasson
As the fugly girls pointed out she was “celebrating things in which she did not star, at a ceremony where she was not a nominee, in an industry for which she barely works — to wander around like a stripper who got in a knife fight in the hosiery section of Macy’s.” Nuf said.

Lea Michele
Is that dress something to sing home about? Is that Halle Berry? Is that J.LO? No, that’s just a girl from Glee. Bless.

Sarah Michelle Gellar
“My 2-year-old [daughter Charlotte] walked in, walked up this dress and said, ‘Mama, wear this!’ Then mummy gave her daughter a texta to draw and said go for it. (It’s Too Dye for). Frou Frou. Frumpy. Forget it.

Cameron Diaz
So she wasn’t technically on the red carpet but she was at a Golden Globes after party. Now it’s the question we all want to ask: Why did you chop it off? Why, sob, sob, why Oh why? I cry!

Jessica Biel
Here are some words used to describe her lace Elie Saab dress: Miss Havisham. Matronly. Grandma. Little House on the Prairie. Fell out of someone’s attic. Musty, dusty 70’s Bridesmaid dress. Plus you can see her undies. Just saying.

 

Yours fashionably,

Summer Holidays

January 9th, 2012 | Posted in Blog

Summer means hot, sunny days. It means Christmas is over and the New Year hangover has drifted away.

Summer means early mornings. A quiet stroll down for a leisurely pre breakfast swim. Sand on your skin. Bright Neon orange toes. Wet hair. Bare feet. Slipping into the perfect little Review dress. A stripe Tee. Denim shorts. Dreaming about Chanel’s latest under the sea inspired collection. (And wishing you were Florence Welch in your own oyster shell.)

Summer means saying goodbye to platforms and happily skipping along in thongs. Throwing on new sunglasses. And throwing away makeup.

Summer means a fresh face. Lashings of Crème de la Mer and just a dash of lipgloss.

Summer means eating food to match your clothes. Fresh watermelon. Peaches. Apricots. Strawberries. Mangoes dribbling down your cheeks. It means freedom. Bike rides, boat rides, wave rides. It means strolling to get the paper. And stopping for a chat.

Summer means losing yourself in a fabulous book (The Cat’s Table!) and a pile of glossy magazines. An afternoon doze in the hammock. Cicadas chirping. A chocolate Magnum ice cream for afternoon tea. A refreshing dip before dinner.

Summer means a gin and tonic with a dash of lime at sunset. Watching someone else cook. It means bowls of BBQ prawns. It means always inviting more to the table. It means long, unhurried dinners. Cherry tarts. Dollops of frozen yogurt. It means having just another glass of wine. Long lazy late nights. Summer holidays. Easy.

Yours fashionably on holidays,
