Sorry, but this is just not on! What is happening with our weather? We were just enjoying the heatwave and then the rain returns and spoils it all again. We can’t help thinking of all our customers that have special events taking place this weekend. There are quite a few weddings, christenings and parties that we know of, so we’re keeping everything crossed that the weather forecasters are correct and it dries up overnight…… and when it does, you could have bagged this fab circa 1970′s Miami style white and gold beaded dress by Manoush, from one of our London Boutiques or online shop at a fraction of the price.

This white oriental Vint dress by Manoush is perfect teamed with bug eyed sunnies, clanky bracelets, big curls, sandals and a tan. Not bad, glamour to make you look as though you’ve stepped out of Studio 54 all at a rainy day discount of 40% Suppose, the rain isn’t all that bad!

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!

Choose a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life! Well, we feel like that at Fifi Wilson but sometimes you need just one day to chill out, forget about stock, merchandising, window displays, appointments…  you name it! and catch up on all those important little things like eating and sleeping.

I’m based at the Chelsea shop and although Clapham and Covent Garden are always open on Sundays, at Chelsea we’re very civilised and have the day off! Like all good things though it’s prone to change and does so every year when we reach December. It starts off with me not getting quite as many strokes, tickles, ear rubs, fondling and general adoration. The equilibrium suffers and the customers seem totally absorbed with what is in the shop rather than with what’s on the sofa. Moi – for the few of you who hadn’t noticed!

From then on it’s a downward spiral. The more rushing about and urgency I detect in everybody’s voices the more I know the Sunday opening is on it’s way. Well it’s come around once again and I’m in store for the next three Sundays! No more bed hopping in the morning, lounging with my bro and titbits all day long – no, back to the shop for a seven day week! Shouldn’t moan though there is a pay off! I start to notice the ear rubs return, everone relax becoming almost euphoric which all culminates in having a whole week of Sundays off in one go!

So it’s worth it and I’m well up to the Sunday challenge! My name’s not Elvis for nothing! The show must go on!

Pumpkins lit, cauldrons brewing and Blockbuster’s Halloween selection saved as a ‘Bookmark’ on our laptops. We’re all reverting back to childhood this year and getting more excited than the super cool, laidback kids that grace our stores.

It’s that time of the year again, and whether you’re taking your offspring out to irritate fellow residents, hosting a ghoul infested gathering or staying in with lights off and a note on the front door informing that ‘The children are very ill, need sleep, please do NOT ring’, we have the clothes and treats to make this the most stylish scary night ever!

Check out all of our wonderful black beauties. Our wonderful retro style Elizabeth Lau dress above is glamorous yet practical with tights and boots. With  Gabby Harris cashmere winter warmers there is a style to suit all, with a sleeveless dress that is great layered or the full long sleeved one with the cream corsage. If you fancy being the most glamourous witch in your area, you simply must go for the faux fur Disaya dress or coat Check out our previous blog on Disaya furry goodies. If you’re lucky enough to be going to a great Halloween party, our By Malene strappy dress is just perfect. And you can guarantee you will wear it again and again. If you need a classic, versatile little black dress this season this is the one. It’s a really flattering shape on most figures and you will definately be pulling it out of your wardrobe again and again.

Oh, and if you are going to open your doors to little ghouls and ghosts, and they do happen to impress you with a talent (We can but hope!) then our Fifi Wilson sweet packets are the best reward or a perfect little gift to the host of a fabulous party. Trust us, they go down a TREAT!

Some things just don’t go the way you’d like, especially fabric and gravity. Avoid exposing yourself like a wannabe wag and stay classy and cool with Matchstick tit-tape. A simple, easy, quick way to make sure you don’t have a Janet moment and everything stays where it ought to. A favourite amongst almost every celebrity (Excluding Miss J and a handful of desperados) and a handbag essential.

Matchstick Boob tape is a godsend. The pack is as small as a box of matches, so you can carry it around at the ready. Feel confident that those people that can’t take their eyes off you are staring at you because you’re hot and not because they can see your nipples. At just £11.95 a pack it’s inexpensive to keep abreast of your decency – Sorry, Can’t help myself!  Cool tricks for smart chicks!

Little Moth Patches to save your beloved jersey from the dustbin. Moths have expensive taste! Don’t you hate the fact that they always seem to go for your favourite cashmeres and never the Christmas jersey Aunt Mopsie gave you. Moths are a fashion hazard. I have found the yellow sticky strips that the moths literally become fixed to are pretty good and there’s an environmentally friendly lavender spray from Bouchard which you fire at the little blighters and they fall to the ground. Let’s face it there are worse ways to go than lavender intoxication. Anyway, you’ll get a certain satisfaction seeking revenge for the mayhem they have wreaked on your wardrobe.

But what do you do if it’s all too late and the damage is already done? These little moth patches can be ironed directly onto your clothes to cover the hole with a degree of irony. You’re better to cover the hole with style rather than try to patch or darn it, and in doing so make it stand out like a sore thumb. These pretty little moth patches come in the shapes of the offending insect in attractive shades of grey, turquoise and lilac. Hopefully, by being able to make the best out of a bad situation with some humour, you won’t feel quite so bad if you spot the tell-tale signs.
