A Hot Night, What Ever You Do!

Some times, no matter what you do or who you are with, you’re just not feelin’ it. Out with a bunch of girls for cocktails in the hottest new bar in town, and still feel like you’re anything but fun? Would you rather be in your P.J.’s 24/7 with a cup of hot tea and an old Disney movie running than exposing yourself to the world? I could literally write a song about it. (I do own a keyboard at home, and have actually composed a tune…)

How To: Spend a Morning in Chelsea

It seems like most London Ladies are always on the run and busily rushing from one appointment to the other. I don’t even want to go into the symptoms stress can cause and the effect it has on our bodies and minds. We’ve all been there, it’s hard to avoid, I know.

I have been literally jogging from one appointment to the next for weeks, trying to squeeze in coffee with a girlfriend and seeing it as a duty rather than a pleasure! Not to mention personal troubles and heart-ache…It’s hard enough to stay positive and feel balanced and good, it’s even harder to LOOK your best every day and every where you go. I feel like a volume-less hair day or blotchy skin, swollen-eyed day will automatically turn, what could have been a perfectly fine day, into a nightmare of moody, irrational stress.

Why not treat yourself to a much needed relaxing morning in Chelsea this week?

While biking up Fulham Road on the weekend, I was so into the newest Gaga song I was belting out while biking, I forgot to turn left towards South Ken, and I couldn’t help but stop at a spa that I have never noticed before!

It was so worth it! The Hand and Foot Spa on Fulham Road opened just a couple weeks ago, and luckily they were free for a spontaneous walk-in appointment! (Although they did mention that booking is always the better and safer option!)

Cool, minimal and modern, the Spa is located in the basement area. Thanks to the cafe bar, I was sitting on a comfortable sofa flipping through this months Vogue and sipping a cappuccino and a glass of still, ice cold water five minutes later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Spa uses Essie and OPI nail colors, and the manicure was one of the best I have ever had. Relaxing and fun but very professional and comfortable! Sanae, my nail technician was an absolute dream!

Being used to manis and pedis on every street corner in NYC, I have missed having perfectly polished and shaped nails and being pampered like the girl I am ever so often!

Unlike most joints in the States though, The Hand and Food Spa care about hygiene just as much as the end result. They follow strict standards of hygiene, all of their equipment is either single-use disposable or sterilized and sealed in medical-grade bags, that are opened seconds before use. (Thank gosh, cause I’ve been freaking out a little about getting a pedi ever since Kate Moss caught that gross foot fungus at a spa in NY)

The spa menu is never ending, and beside offering numerous treatments for mani and pedis, there is a foot specialist, and a men-only area! (It’s cute, they even get their own personal entrance, so contact with women will never occur! ) For some extra treatments, you can get your eye brows and lashes tinted, all while nibbling at some snacks from the bar!

To go with my french manicured fingernails topped with a light, delicate coat of sliver glitter (yes, I went for glitter), I got myself a ThisWorks foot cream that apparently Madonna uses and swears by! How divine!

Once pampered and dolled up, it is time to hit the shops! Fifi Wilson, just minutes walk away in Chelsea Green, will offer you the perfect outfit to go with your new nail color! Feel fresh and daring and spoil yourself rotten from top to bottom, enjoy defining and redefining your own personal style!

How about a spa manicure and pedicure this month that will  make a donation to fight breast cancer? Choose from a variety of pink polishes (all of which are gorgeous!) and 5% of your treatment will be donated to charity!

Then find the perfect pink Milly dress, Vivetta leopard collared or white bow dress or choose the most amazing Vivetta pink with leopard print collar and buttons coat that will boost your ego and go with your pink nail shade! Feel and look gorgeous!

Go for a timeless midnight Milly dress (my personal favorite) or a black casual knit for a more understated look! So good that pink goes with everything, right?

What ever you decided to do, don’t rush it, relax and enjoy shopping and spa-ing! Give yourself a time-out and forget all of your troubles and worries for just a moment. It will work wonders! For me it most certainly did!

Sometimes we forget that what we girls need, is some girl time.

 

 

Nippon my mind

Hi girls, while waiting for London Fashion Week (like a seven year old child on Christmas eve) on saturday I paid a visit to an amazing exhibition: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion.

Japan is more than Nintendo, Manga and Sushi. The clever and inspired exhibiting artists honor their ancient country.  The superb protagonists here are some of the most important Japanese stylists such as Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and many others!  Three decades of inspired arts brilliantly exhibited as only the Barbican can do.  The gallery adorned with translucent drapes, has transformed all the exhibition hall into an incredible voyage through the last thirty years of Japanese avant-garde.

Have I convinced you to go? I hope so… you won’t regret it!

And of course don’t forget our last sales days.. we still have fantastic pieces by Vivetta, Manoush, Sonia Rykiel and other fantastic designers. For more details visit us on fifiwilson.com.

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….

Pretty As Peaches

As I’m sure lots of you already know, we are always on the lookout for new and exciting designers. Alongside our well known designers we like to be able to offer customers something fresh that they are not going to find elsewhere.

One of these new such designers is Vivetta (She trained under Roberto Cavalli) who makes unique, bold style decisions when creating her eye catching pieces. It is this sort of confidence and individuality that speaks to us when it comes to dressing. We are the only people in the UK to stock Vivetta and like our customers, her following is strong, independent women who like to think outside the box and dress for how they feel, rather than be dictated to.

The best endorsement that we ever receive is our customers approval and selling out last season said it all. It has been great that the press have become as smitten with Vivetta recently and Peaches Geldof has become such a fan that this month she met up with the designer in  London to shoot the A/W10 cmapaign. Peaches then hot footed it back to NY looking super cute wearing Vivetta to the shows.

But keep your eyes peeled as we have plenty of exciting new designers arriving this season and next. We promise you will not be disappointed!

Pussycoat, Pussycoat I Love You!

Fifi Wilson is on an endless quest to find new and exciting designers that can offer you something different. So we thought we’d give you a little taster of what’s coming next season.

We have quite a few new labels arriving and we found this quirky Italian label Vivi in Paris. I have to admit I’m more of a dog person myself, but even I had to admit this double breasted little Pussycoat is very desirable! It comes in powder pink or baby blue and has little cat faces for pockets. Not being the tallest in town, this car coat length is my personal favourite as it doesn’t swamp you and looks great with trousers or stockings! The collection should be arriving in our boutiques very soon. There are little navy velvet dresses with red piping, silk shirts with oversized peter pan frill collars and stripey knitted dresses. In this cosy winter coat you’ll feel like the cat that got the cream and look the cat’s whiskers!
