THAT ERDEM DRESS

Well here's that Erdem dress that I promised to show the my twitterites last Friday. I was suddenly taken ill and had to take to my bed so couldn't wear this little beauty after all. Oh woe is me, I seem to be spending a lot of time tucked up recovering from something or other recently. Oh well, all better now and what better way to start the week than by wearing only the most coveted designer of the moment... and here's the scoop of the day. Erdem very kindly granted me a gorgeous interview for my book and dressed me in the most fabulous gown for a very special evening... you'll have to wait for the book to see it though!

Lovely in lilac

Long live Luella!

I can't help feeling a little down wearing this dress. Despite the fact that the sun is shining it's heart out and I don't have to write a book today I can't shake off the slight feeling of despair that Luella is no more. Paws crossed she will get some new backers soon!

...and onto yet more sweetness. Check out these fantastic cakes inspired by little old me made by fan Alia Roslan and written about on her blog 'of my stilettos and spatula'. I have often thought of myself as being sweet as sugar and now here I am immortalized forever in fondant!

Luella - yummy

Prada - Mmmmm

Cynthia Rowley - chomp chomp

Kate Moss for Topshop - scrumptious

Valentino - scoff scoff

Moschino - munch munch

Oh and for anyone interested you can pre-order my book now on amazon. You won't be disappointed, as well as loads of fantastic style tips and advice it is packed full of delicious new drawings!

The new look!

Hello Lovelies!

So devoted Fifi fans will know that not too long ago I had a bit of a silly accident which resulted in me needing a little surgery on my nose - they told me that although they could fix my nose it would never look exactly the same (thank goodness it wasn't my famously long silky ears that were injured!) so I had a little word with the surgeon and slipped him a photo of a nose I've long admired... thanks Ruby - That's what I call a real best friend!

my new nose - be kind!

I'm not wearing any particular label here, think I got this skirt from a vintage stall at Portobello market and the tee was sent to me from one of my lovely fans!

So a really lovely thing happened today. I received a parcel in the post and inside was a little note that read...

It was from my editor, she definitely gets me!
The note was attached to a beautifully wrapped box and inside of the box were beautifully iced biscuits (cookies to those less British) in the shape of little handbags - swoon!

YUM YUM

The company they're from is called biscuiteers - what a fantastic name for biscuit love spreaders!

I do feel spoilt - and slightly sick from eating 5 biscuits in a row. whoops.
Thank you Jocasta, can anyone imagine a nicer editor to have?

Hello stranger!

Hi all, Yes you're not dreaming it's little old me.
Almost back to reality.
today my book was sent to production!
there will be no more final tweaks and touches.
That's it - finito!
squeal!

...and that also means I'm back and raring to go. My nose has all healed and I can't wait to show you the results. I am so pleased and quite frankly cannot stop admiring myself in the mirror. But for today my paws are aching from all this work and deserve a rest so you will have to make do with this glamour abounding shot of the legend Valentino surrounded by his famous red gowns and his cute little pugs. I watched the documentary 'Valentino, the Last Emperor' last night and it was fascinating. You must watch it if you can. The man is such an inspiration! If you're in GB you can watch it again on BBC iplayer here...

see you again soon!

Tee Tip Off

This tee (whoops sold out now!) has to be my favourite so far!

and it's a great memento for me to remember my old nose...
I've had a peek under my bandage but it all looks very bruised and swollen - hopefully it won't stay that way. I can't wait for it to heal so that I can show you all my new look!

convalescing

My Darlings,
First of all I want to say how sorry I am that I haven't posted for nearly a month. Way to long for my fabulous fans to get their Fifi fix!

The thing is, I have not been having such a fabulous time. Let me explain. At the end of last month I was trotting down the Kings Road, having just left Bar JuJu and their delicious carrot cocktails ( which may go some way to explain what happened next ). I was running to catch a cab and completely forgot I was wearing totally inappropriate footwear for athletic pursuits - 7 inch platform heels. I felt my ankle wobble and everything went into slow motion as I flew ungracefully towards the pavement. I can remember having time to think 'oh dear this isn't good' but it seems I didn't have time to put my paws out for protection. To cut a long story short not only did I break my ankle I totally smashed up my nose. The cab driver who saw it happen was so sweet to me, taking Ruby and I straight to the emergency room and refusing payment. Although, looking back maybe he was just glad to get us out of his taxi. I spent the entire journey rambling on about this and that - I must have been in shock. I even tried to air kiss him as he helped me out of the cab!

My ankle was the least of my worries though. My nose was so badly injured I had to have surgery. I'm now feeling pretty sore and very sorry for myself. I still have my book to write too and the deadline is looming, so Ruby's been round to help me get all the things I need to work from my sick bed. She is such a good friend to me I am going to have to think of a way to thank her properly. I'm not sure when the bandages can come off but I'm really looking forward to it. I slipped a little request to the surgeon before I went in. Secretly I've always wished for a slightly slimmer snout!

I hope you're all having more luck than me
