Summer Essentials: Life's A Beach

Diane from The Chic Life

How are all my lovely fashion and Fifi's lovers doing this week? Is summer treating you well? I hope you are all enjoying vacations and time in the sun. How is your summer wardrobe holding up? Well there is still time to perk it up and make additions to your beach bag. Of course you can find those additions at Fifi's just like Diane at The Chic Life, who made a major score this weekend. What has been your recent score? Send me your pic and I will feature you on the blog. Don't ya want to show off your fab find?

Now onto the real important stuff...what to pack for that the beach. As I have mentioned in Fun in the Sun post and Summer Essentials you are going to need a few basics like the flat sandal, sunglasses, maxi dress, and a great hat. It is time to add to that list.

Every beach trip needs a beach bag or just an oversized bag that you carry around all of your beach essentials and goodies but can double as your handbag for times out to eat and the summer nights. You can always carry an extra bikini for a late night swim.

Why just get a beach bag...when you can carry an over-sized handbag?

The beautiful thing about the beach is being able to walk off the beach slip on a tunic and be ready to for the next adventure for your day. And no one is going to judge you because of it, we all want to be comfy and relaxed...no need to be fussy. Grab a tunic throw it in your bag. Put it on. Seat yourself on a deck with a drink. It is as easy as that. The great thing about a tunic, it can be an official tunic, or it could be an over-sized top or a short summer dress. Make it your own and find it at Fifi's.

How easy would it just be to just throw one of these on?

So you know to pack your oversized sunglasses and handbag, swimsuit, sandals, maxi dress, big hat, and tunic. What more can a girl need? I would say an easy tee and a pair of classic shorts.

How comfy are these looks?

Well there are the basics for your summer beach trip! Head to Fifi's and get all packed up. Until next week my fashionistas.

Flower Power

While New York Fashion Week is going on, strutting the trends for fall 2012, Fifi's is stocking the store with everything you need for your spring wardrobe. When it comes to spring it is easy to want to just throw on open toed shoes, shorter sleeves, and to be relieved to be wear dresses and skirts without having to wear tights and boots. The beautiful thing about spring is more than just shedding the heavy layers of winter...it is the blooming of bright colors and the revival of blooming floral prints. Don't fall into a rut this spring, here is one way to brighten up your wardrobe with one of the many trends for spring.

The classic floral print the perfect way to usher in spring, except now you don't have to do the typical or the expected...you can mix it up. Or if you would like you can keep it classic. That is the wonderful thing about floral print and it being a classic trend, it is the way you mix it that makes it this year's trend.

I am about to show you some great examples of the floral print trend, but remember the rules of consignment shopping and use them as inspiration the next time you are in Fifi's.

Let's start with floral print pants (and though printed pants are a trend in themselves we will start slow) get the bold pieces out there. You have to be brave to wear a floral pant. You have to be bold. You have to remember you look good even if people don't understand the trend.

Runway DKNY

Or maybe a pant is just a little bit too much print for you to sport, there is always the option of a pair of shorts with the floral print. That gives you the option to wear the trend without it being so overwhelming.

Cacharel Floral Shorts 

 Of course what is a spring wardrobe without a selection of floral print dresses? From casual to dressy this trend will take you from the backyard BBQ to the spring weddings. Find your voice among the options make it your own.

Keep your fashion eyes open for beautiful floral prints. Until next week my fashion lovers.
