Apparently, the Rugby season is upon us. With your fella/hubbie/friend indulging themselves in their favourite pastime, why don’t you do the same. Drop them off at the nearest pub and start your retail therapy in your favourite boutique. Luckily for you there’s a pub situated very near each Fifi store!

So, while the men are getting their muscled legs out on the pitch, why not follow suit and get your toned pins into By Malene’s navy tailored trousers or Sonia Rykiel’s oh so cute blue knitted skirt.

If you do happen to get roped into the whole sports thing by the men in your life, we have amazing pieces in every teams colour.

ENGLAND – Laundry Industry have done a fab simple t-shirt with a bold red knitted bow on the front

SCOTLAND – Elizabeth Lau has created a beautiful, simple navy cotton blazer with cream piping

IRELAND – We have some lovely little green butterfly handbags that will be the most stylish mascot ever

WALES – A soft, gorgeous Naomi Harper red and cream cashmere jumper

FRANCE – Get your hands on a lovely mid blue See by Chloe jumper

ITALY – By Malene have created a stunning, light blue cardigan with cute pocket detailing

If you really don’t care enough to support one particular team but want an excuse for a great new addition to your wardrobe you can go neutral and still get into the sporting spirit of things with our fab Antoni and Alison ‘Sport Number One’ cashmere jumper. Go on, just use it to treat yourself. After all, the men certainly are. How many beers do they actually NEED to watch a match?

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.
