“We’re all going on a summer holiday….”

That’s what most people are singing at the moment – including me! I popped down to the Frenchgate Centre at the weekend and picked up this  halter neck style swimming costume from River Island. I love the nautical print, and being halterneck it really suits my shape. Plus being white it will really highlight my tan!

I also fell in love with these sunglasses from Claires. Another big trend I love is  the floral design and can’t wait to wear them at the airport to make me feel really summery! claires2

 

Also I hope you all enjoyed the fashion show at The Frenchgate recently? I loved seeing all the clothes come to live on stage! The dancers were amazing as well, loved watching it, check out the pictures below to see them in action!

Time to get Carrie’d away!

Right now, I can’t begin to explain how excited I am about the opening of the new Sex and the City 2 film. From the trailers I’ve seen, it looks like it’s going to be full of all the hottest fashion – as always – so I’m going to be seeing what the girls are wearing and then heading off to the Frenchgate to copy their style!

Monsoon have a whole section dedicated to the stars of the film and when I was shopping in Frenchgate the other day I took the opportunity to pop in and check it out.  I totally fell in love with this ‘Miranda’ inspired dress below, and I’m looking forward to wearing it this Bank Holiday weekend as I’m off partying!

I loved last weekend’s heatwave and luckily managed to avoid wickedly sunburned shoulders (thank you Boots – Factor 30!) – but the forecast for this weekend is not so good.  So I’m planning to head over to the Discover Style weekend at my favourite shopping hotspot instead (you know where!) – and take in some fashion, fabulousness and funky tips for the Summer season. 

Sex and the City 2 and Discover Style all in one weekend – I am one happy Fashionista!

Bye for now, lots of love Fi Fi xx




Welcome to my new blog!!

Hi! I’m Fi-Fi the Frenchgate Fashionista – welcome to my blog.
I love shopping  and I’m also crazy about fashion and beauty. I’m here to share my tips on the best of what’s hot on the high street!

 

 

So to kick us off,  this season I’m totally loving floral prints – especially on dresses. They make me feel summery and when the weather is rubbish, I just add some leggings and a cardigan and I’m sorted.


I popped into New Look at the weekend and found this one, a steal at only £10 in the sale!!!! And, being tiered, it hides all the lumps and bumps I can’t work off at the gym!

Also I was excited to discover that Topshop entered a new realm this month as they launched a make up range.

The range features nail varnish, mascara, blusher and foundation. I love the packaging of the whole range, especially the spots on the nail varnish lids!

I’m thrilled because it means Topshop is now a one stop shop for a night out!!
