What a Mother!

It’s almost here people. That lovely Sunday when you spoil your mother to show your appreciation for firstly, the painful child labour.
2. The toddler tantrums.
3. Refusing to wear anything she dressed you in.
4. Teenage tantrums.
5. Refusing to eat meat/dying your hair pink/being a moody little bitch/bringing home the most unsuitable boy possible. (Delete as applicable)
6. Not calling when you say you will….Of course the list is endless, but what really matters is that your mum knows how much you adore her and what better way to express your sentiments than with a luxurious gift that she wouldn’t dare purchase for herself for fear of being self indulgent.
We have an array of wonderful gifts perfect for putting a smile on her face. Why not treat her to some glamourous disco ball earrings with matching necklace Or our gorgeous magnetic bracelets are guaranteed to go down a storm! But, if you really want to go all out and totally spoil her rotten, how about a pink Toywatch? And if pink isn’t her colour, pop into one of our stores to see the full colour range. Whatever, you buy her I’m sure she’ll love it, after all you are still her little Cherub!
Must See!
I don’t know about you, but here we have all been desperate to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie and it hits the big screen today, SO exciting! We can’t wait to delve into this wonderful fantasy world filling us with nostalgia. If you haven’t already seen the trailer, check it out now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjMkNrX60mA.
Makes you want an ‘Alice’ dress to wear for afternoon tea and cakes in the park doesn’t it? And now we have all this beautiful sunny weather why not organize a lovely little gathering on your local green spot, bring your best china cups and nip to M&S for some cupcakes and cucumber sandwiches. Now, while we can’t promise you a lead role in a Tim Burton movie, we can provide you with costume which is every bit as delicious. For example, pop into one of the boutiques to lay your eyes on our pink, silk Manoush dress – it’s a fairytale! Perfect for a tea party with any Mad Hatter.
Or how about our fast-selling Vivetta white collared Pierrot dress with the circle cut outs, great for a spring picnic. Or the See by Chloe cream collared beauty? Or then there’s Dress Gallery’s Carlotta, a cute 50’s looking pale blue cutie. All of these are sweeter than the cream cakes. Pop a bow in your hair, lay down a rug and start pouring.
A date with us is one you really can’t be late for, we’re selling out of pieces so quickly this season. Tick tock tick tock….
London Rocks!

Ah, Fashion Week has returned to the coolest capital once again. We take pleasure in supporting edgy, British designers and always have a fab selection of London labels gracing our rails. Check out Bella Freud, YMC and Elizabeth Lau. All doing it for the Brits in their own individual way.
Bella Freud creates gorgeous, quirky jerseys that just ooze effortless cool. Kate Moss is a fan, so if you want the ’London Look’, these beauties will do the job way better than any nail varnish. Soz Kate.
Unaffected by seasonal trends, you can’t go wrong with YMC who create intelligent clothing that’s both functional and modern.
Elizabeth Lau provides us with fun, happy clothes. Perfect for a little ‘Pick-me-up’ or ‘End-of-week-treat’!
So jump on the bandwagon and back the Brits. Your country needs you! (Tell me that’s not the best shopping excuse you’ve ever come across!)
Love Me Do!

So, V-day is officially over for another year. Some of you may now be feeling all loved-up but others can breathe a huge sigh of relief. Let’s all exhale together now!
If your other half disappointed, or you’re single and feel like treating yourself to something special then get down to one of our Fifi stores ASAP. Continue the loving mood throughout this week Fifi style, it’s never too late for a bit of indulgent retail therapy.
The obvious favourite is of course our Vivetta silk blouse. There are two heart shaped paddings on the chest, with the words ‘I Love’ and ‘You’ in gold beading on either heart. There are squeals of excitement every day in our stores when a gaggle of girlfriends come across this little gem. Almost as deafening as the reactions to the Baby Blochs!
Then there’s the little heart charm necklaces and bracelets we’ve just got in. They are unbelievably reasonable, a mere £15 for a bracelet or £21 for the necklaces. Stray from the heart pendants if you fancy; there are anchors, horse shoes, clovers, peace signs, stars, absolutely everything your heart could desire!
Or maybe for those of us feeling a little under-appreciated and over-worked, pick up our cosy, comfy Antipast ‘Love Me’ socks at just £19.95 a pop. Or our black and fuschia Sonia Rykeil heart socks will keep you in a loving mood for a lot longer than a day!
Zip It!

As usual we are extremely excited about the fab new clothes we have arriving all the time for you lucky ladies.
There is one piece that has grabbed everyone’s attention. Yes, you guessed it , the great Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Spring/Summer ‘10 tops or dresses with gargantuan, silver zips. You heard it from us, zips are going to be appearing here, there and everywhere this season and they’ll be bigger than ever.
We all agree that there is something incredibly saisfying about these oversized mechanisms. They are quirky, cool and fun. And the latter is exactly what we believe clothes should be about, fun and expressing yourself.
So the next time someone tells you to ‘Zip it’, you can enjoy smugly sliding the metal piece up and down while continuing to run the mouth! Currently available in all boutiques and online from next month.
Treat Your Feet!
Yay! There is cause for celebration. The snow has cleared and the temperature has risen (If only very slightly) Banish the wellies, Ugh boots (Sorry! Ugg fans) and any other clumpy styles of footwear to the basement. Put a spring in your step with these chic, elegant By Malene pointy shoes.
They are flat, comfortable, simple and stylish. If you are going to treat yourself to something special this January, make sure it’s these.
Not only are they absolutely beautiful, but they’re practical and classic enough to be a real wardrobe staple for years to come. They will go with everything and anything, are incredibly comfortable with a lovely vintage feel to them. The pointy toe is a refreshing alternative to the everyday round-toed ballet pump. They will elongate your line, lengthen your leg and are one of the most flattering shoe shapes around. Best thing about them? They are no longer the original price of £199 but £99.50!
Now slip them on and imagine yourself fluttering through fields of daffs listening to the birds and the bees….aaah!
Oh Brother…
Is it just us or has Celeb BB become the highlight of your January? If it’s not the tree of temptation, it’s Stephanie’s bitchy comments that have us hooked. Just like the Celeb house we have a huge mix and pride ourselves on the fact that there’s something for everyone. From girly, classic, adrogynous to quirky MC we have a huge variety that will keep all tastes satisfied.
Sov’s got a good edgy look with our bright green funky toywatch.
With Nicola’s penchant for all things girly she’d love our pink headphones.
Ivana is known in the house for never being seen without her make up, so maybe one of our cute metallic make up purses would interest her?
Even critical Stephanie would be lost for words if she saw our gorgeous Gabby Harris cashmere collection.
Despite Heidi’s slobby choice of garments in the house this past week, we at Fifi Wilson know that it is possible to be comfortable and stylish! We’re all for comfort but surely there’s no need for those offensive holey, ragged pieces of cloth Heidi decided to drown her body in. Our favourites include the YMC grey, cotton, softer than soft dress, the Set bat wing oatmeal cardigan and the Disaya faux fur cardigan.
Ok, so the whole of the UK may not be watching you 24/7 but you can still take pride in looking and feeling fabulous even if you are slobbing out in front of the TV with a family sized Galaxy. Never fear, for we’ve got just the things, but you’re going to have to be speedy, they’re lusted after even more than BB’s Corned Beef sandwiches.
With our next installment of celebrity mayhem just around the corner, pop into one of our boutiques or click onto our online store and browse through our cosy, comfy pieces perfect for watching any more ‘Hunk Off’ competitions – fingers crossed!
Going, Going…Very Nearly Gone!
I know they say ‘Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved….blah blah blah… and maybe that’s true but I’m afraid I can’t agree when it comes to clothes. I still drive everyone insane talking about the fabulous beige American Retro cardi with the lurex heart on the back and the fact that I’ll never be able to get my mitts on one pains me to this day. That was three years ago… but I’ve learned from my mistakes.
Right now, if you didn’t already know, it’s sale time. Every item of designer clothing in our stores is 50% off – we don’t mess around when it comes to sales. However, we thought we’d fill you in and let you know that every day we are selling out of lines and have had quite a few disappointed customers returning, cash at the ready only to find the coveted item has vamooshed. We opened our online store a few months ago and these online shoppers are a canny bunch and our stock is disappearing quicker than pleasantries on CBB. So if you’ve been umming and ahhing over something lovely we’re warning you, don’t leave it too late. Come and visit one of our boutiques or purchase online pronto. Daily we have customers asking if we can possibly get our hands on someting that we have sold out of, which is ney impossible. So, this really is your last chance to pick up our wonderful Autumn/Winter 09 pieces from Worldwide designers such as Gabby Harris, Disaya, Le Mont St Michel, Manoush and Sonia at 50% reductions. We assure you that you shall get lots of wear out of all of our clothes and let’s be honest…. when do you think we’re next going to have a hot day?!
So take it from one who knows from experience and have a good scan at our sale rails/web pages or risk months or years of kicking yourself/lusting over what you can no longer have and I didn’t even start about the Laundry Industry sequin heart cardi and the Claudie Pierlot bow tops……….
Listen up!

Oh my goodness! We are quite literally hyperventilating over this unbelievably cool new delivery.
In sweet, candy pastels and cool, quirky brights, you have to replace those tatty old white headphones immediately. Check out these retro beauties that have been flying off our shelves since the day they arrived.
Choose between pale pink, baby blue, fresh white, bright yellow and zingy green all £29.95. They are possibly THE coolest Christmas present you could give or receive, the only question is whether you’re going to give a pair to your deserving self or a very lucky friend. They also answer the tricky question of what to get the father/boyfriend/brother/son/male mate.
I, like many like to give the impression I’m a bit of a technological wizard, but sadly the truth lies far from those words. However, I have been informed by many reliable sources of geekiness that these headphones are of outstanding technical quality. I personally wouldn’t complain if they played out the Psycho knife sound twenty-four seven, they’re just so beautiful.
We can’t help but notice a severe case of role reversal taking place since they’ve been in store. Our lovely female customers have purchased their Xmas party dress, girlfriend’s gifts, new seasons must have toywatch and are ready to brave the cold, whilst their male companion is still cooing over the headphones, many have needed to be dragged out like toddlers.
Reward yourself for finishing your Christmas shopping, or actually finish your Christmas shopping by snapping up these gorgeous gadgets (I never thought I’d use those two words in the same sentence!).
Together, let’s transform travel and transport for 2010. Laters Boris!
Leather Lovelies

The best things in life are free. Love, peace, laughter, yes they really are. However, our day to day happiness can unfortunately be altered by those annoying materialistic necessities of western society such as money, phone, credit cards… So despite your lack of argent/shopping-spree guilt/shocking phone bill/depressing email (I could go on, but I won’t) you can still retain a bit of happiness by diverting your attention away from the object of stress and towards our fabulously soft and tactile phone cases and wallets.
There are three different styles. Square wallets in black or tan that unfold to reveal rows for cards ideal for the super organised. No need to hold up the whole queue at Tesco’s because you swear there’s a clubcard with tonnes of points in here somewhere!. Then, there’s the rectangular coffee coloured delight with cool contrast stitching providing numerous compartments for your hard cash. There are also the most wonderful blackberry/iPhone holders. They will protect your screen and look sleek, each one has lovely detailing and a little stitched apple.
Whether you want to indulge yourself in some great quality leather and have your coins, notes and cards perfectly organised for your Christmas shopping or you’re trying to find Christmas gifts that will be used and loved for years and years to come, make sure you get your hands on one of these before we sell out. They’ve prevented my usual stress of what to buy the male species! Much better than a useless gadget/game they’re after that will do your head in come boxing day or a lovely jumper they’ll refuse to wear because they won’t stray from their favourite indigo shirt.
So for Christmas 2009, invest your hard earned cash into something special, great quality, useful, practical and longterm.
A wallet/iPhone case is for life, not just for Christmas.

I LOVE Fifi Wilson. To me it is the perfect shop - it has everything from that 'Cheer up' top you don't really need to a fab party dress to something to throw on daily, to some funky and unusual accessory to buy for a girlfriend.
