It seems you can’t turn on the television or open a magazine lately without noticing the current trend for large statement earrings, particularly Cheryl Cole’s love of ball shaped earrings. She seems to have a fab new pair every week. Well, at Fifi Wilson we’re loving this look and have recently received a delivery of the best spherical earrings in town. If you’re like me and love a bit of glamour, then you’ll adore our gorgeous sparkling crystal and gold or crystal and silver ball earrings. They are beautifully constructed and come in two styles both accented with blue, pink or apricot glass beads. These earrings look equally amazing with short hair or long hair. Team with our Disaya faux fur jacket (If you manage to get your hands on one! We’re very close to selling out) and 1940’s style side swept hair and you’ll be looking like a modern day Ava Gardner.  If you’re after a look that will work just as well during the day as in the evening, then our woven earrings are just for you. In blue, grey or purple they’ll brighten any winter outfit and make a simple pony tail look beautifully polished. Combine with our Malene Birger Black Terreli dress for a really fresh and modern look. Whatever your style these are super cool earrings to add a bit of sparkle to your Winter.

Crystal ball earrings are available in all boutiques

Okay, we agree. We’ve spent a fortune and not yet finished with the presents. Got places to go, people to see but the Winter wardrobe could do with some added sparkle. So how about we give you discount on a few of your favourite labels. If you’re familiar with us you will know that we cherry pick from the best designer labels from all over the world so our boutiques are crammed with the best items from each collection.

So just for you here’s a little pre-Christmas pick me up discount treat of a few of your favourite labels Odd Molly, Manoush and Fred Perry.

Enjoy! You’re worth it!

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.

It’s that time of year again when we find ourselves wandering aimlessly around the shops trying to find the perfect gift. Don’t waste hours “Umming” and “Ahhing” working up a festive fever over what to buy, head straight to Fifi Wilson where you can see some of our latest arrivals. We have the most wonderful accessories from a new Danish designer that is going down a storm!

Her feminine designs are so cute and make present buying seem effortless. From make up bags to lipstick holders, shower caps to manicure sets, you are guaranteed to find something special for all your female loved ones. A favourite of ours has to be the chic ‘Check in bag’. Never again will you have to empty your essentials into one of those transparent freezer bags. From now on you can travel in style from the outset and for only £12.50. The metallic make up 3 in 1 purse is a another favourite with detachable sections to keep all your bits and bobs organized.

After seeing this range I very much doubt that you will have much shopping left to do, there really is something for everyone! However, there is always going to be that one person who you really can’t decide for, usually male. But that’s easily sorted! Why not treat them to our brown or black leather wallets or a great little iPhone holder.

If all else fails don’t forget our fail-safe Fifi Wilson gift vouchers, they’re always much appreciated. Happy shopping!

Oh my goodness, we have just had a new delivery from Toywatch full of fab new Winter ‘09 colours! We are all a bit over excited and indecisive here in the Fifi stores. Come join us to pick your favourite Autumn/Winter hue. The new shades are b-e-a-utiful! Sorry, the new additions are in store and not able to be viewed in our online shop, although we are obviously more than happy to send whichever colour you want. Choose between Hunter green, deep plum, submarine blue, cool teal and funky mustard. Although imitators are many the celebrity must-have wrist candy continues to reign the watch world. Treat someone very special to one and they will be forever grateful for the coolest gift around at a very reasonable £133 for the Toywatch fluo range.

They are incredibly lightweight, you’ll barely notice you have it on. Added bonus: They are water resistant so you won’t need to worry about removing it for hand washing, showers or doing the washing up. Come to our Chelsea or Covent Garden stores and as well as helping you decide on the perfect colour we will fit it to your wrist removing however many links you require. But be quick, they sell out incredibly fast every time we get a delivery. Get your skates on, tick tock tick tock…

Wahey! We’re half way through the week, not long to go now until that lie in. Don’t know about you, but we need something lovely to get us through that last bit… and guess what, we’ve got just the thing. We’ve had a fab new delivery of jewellery that is literally flying off the shelves. Check out the disco ball earrings and necklaces, the perfect gift, that is if you can bare to part with it! Then there’s the striking silver necklace that is a steal at £35. It looks just as great with an old t-shirt and jeans as it does with a glam evening dress. Then there’s our bestseller, the magnetic bracelet.  Everyone that tries these, buys these! They just look so effortlessly cool on, once you’ve clicked there’s no going back. They make a wonderful gift for your lovely self or a great mate. They’re all ready for you to buy online plus there are some extra pieces by the same company in store. So either get clicking or come and check us out!

Brrrr…what a chilly Monday morning! If you are anywhere near Central London today, you simply have to drop by Monmouth Street. That street has every remedy for Monday blues.

Here’s the plan:

1. Swing by Monmouth Coffee to grab the creamiest coffee in London and a couple of their truffles (Heaven on earth).

2. Walk further down the road and pop into Candy Cakes for a beginning of the week treat.

3. Now take about 5 steps right and you should be in the doorway of our lovely Covent Garden store. For your third little treat today, take your pick from our new Odd Molly delivery.

Odd Molly is one of our most popular brands and we constantly have phone calls and drop-ins of women desperate to get their hands on key pieces from the collections. Choose between pretty tops, knitted dresses, thick cardigans, Can-Can skirts and great winter coats. There’s a hue to suit everyone; dark greens, dusky pinks, deep purple, navy, cream, grey…the list is endless. The contrast stitching, silk ribbon ties and original styles and patterns are irresistible. No matter what you pick from this collection we can guarantee it will make you feel happy and you will treasure it for a long time. That’s why everyone keeps coming back for more, it’s as addictive as the Monmouth caffeine fix and Candy Cake sugar rush!

Fact. This winter will be a chilly one. Fact. You will need to wrap up warm. Fact. Fifi Wilson stock the most beautiful, funky socks you will find.

There’s at least one pair to suit everyone’s taste. Choose between beautiful roses for those gentle ladies, clouds for those airy fairy types, wild ducks for our highland lasses and an array of colours and patterns for our fun loving fashionistas. We even have short socks with ‘Love Me’ stitched around the ankle for those days that you’re feeling slightly fragile. The only problem is having to choose between the stunning selection. It’s incredibly hard narrowing it down to one pair and we’re constantly hearing ’Oh so and so would absolutely love them’ and ‘They’re perfect for …’.

Go Harajuku style and sling them on with a cute skirt and pumps for an individual fashion forward take.They also look fab peeping out the top of long winter boots or cute little ankle boots for a more striking look. No matter how you wear them, long or short, floral or wildlife, you’ll be guaranteed to knock everyone’s cute little cotton socks off!

London Fashion Week is nearly here again! At Fifi Wilson we love the chance to see as many collections as possible each season so that we can select the most gorgeous clothes to grace the Fifi Wilson stores for you to choose from. However, sometimes all the excitement becomes a little too exhausting. So being a neighbour of the new LFW venue of Somerset House in nearby Monmouth Street, we thought we should offer you a couple of suggestions to keep you refreshed during the Fashion Week whirlwind.

Before you head off to enjoy the fabulous fashion shows and beautiful neoclassical architecture of Somerset house, pop in to Monmouth Coffee for a bit of an energy boost. It’s just up the street from our Covent Garden store and just round the corner from Somerset House. With a great selection of coffee beans and talented baristas who’ll make your coffee to perfection, you can understand why the Fifi Covent Garden staff stop here everyday on the way to work. We highly recommend the chocolate truffles, the perfect combination with a yummy creamy coffee. Although, be warned, we happen to know first hand that they are highly addictive!

If coffee’s not your thing, take a break from the rush of fashion week in the peaceful drawing room at the lovely Covent Garden Hotel, also on Monmouth Street. Plonk yourself down on one of the vividly upholstered, comfy couches and have afternoon tea in style. They have a great selection of speciality teas, finger sandwiches, scones and clotted cream, homemade preserves, cinnamon butter, chocolate dipped strawberries, rhubarb tartlets….   need we say more. Sorry, we get a bit carried away being more than a little food obsessed at Fifi Wilson!

After all that energising refreshment you’ll be ready to check out some of our favourite British designers at Fashion Week including Antoni and Alison, Elizabeth Lau, Suwha and YMC. Then to round off the day you can pop in to us at our Covent Garden boutique and try on their beautiful Autumn/Winter 08 collections or make the most of our FREE shipping deal online for ALL British designers!

To celebrate going online, Fifi Wilson are promoting our wonderful British Designers by offering free UK shipping when you order. There are so many cool and exciting labels to choose from. Take your pick!

• Quinton and Chadwick’s great nostalgic knits.
