Have a Coach Holiday

Happy Holidays everyone!

Thanks for all your supportive comments, I am feeling much more cheerful today.

Thanksgiving is upon us and even if you're not from the USA you can still celebrate with me by entering my very special competition held in collaboration with Coach and their hoilday blogaday project...

I'm modeling some gorgeous pieces from their fall collection.

The bow beret is all cuteness and I just love my shoes - so rockabilly!

...and that bag, honestly it's gorgeous and you could own one just like mine!

Yes, that's correctorama! You can win a beautiful genuine leather Brooke Bag from Coach. It's a real classic, one of those pieces that will last you forever (a bit like my 'great American Trench coat') and it's in a beautiful soft stone colour so it will go with every outfit...

THE COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ENTRIES

Luella Forever

Darlings, these last few days I have been utterly low. I am officially in mourning. After the announcement that Luella has lost her financial backing therefore putting the very existence of the label in jeopardy I could hardly get out of bed let alone face choosing what to wear. Stella has been my constant companion, resting her little head on my paw and giving me the most solemn looks it's as if she understands my pain (Or she could just be desperate for a walk?!) Sonny came round today on the request of my housekeeper and tried to rouse me with some of my favourite carrot cupcakes from The Magnolia Bakery via Harrods. But even a whiff of cream cheese frosting couldn't tempt me out.... oh woe is me!

p.s. whilst in my pit of despair I was browsing the interwebular and came across this which raised my spirits just enough to have a little nibble on said cake. It tasted so divine that I scoffed the lot, whoops!

stuck on you

Morning everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I had a lovely time with some of my less famous friends walking Stella in the country and cosying up to a roaring log fire. I turned to trusted Brit brand Aquascutum for the correct attire - though I had to give in and swop the shoes for a pair of hunters when we hit fields! heels + mud = 1 very grumpy rabbit!
I finally bought some of that pastel masking tape that's been making the rounds on all the most covetable blogs this year and have been obsessively sticking anything and everything I can get my paws on. I decorated Sonny's work Blackberry in pretty shades of aquamarine, bubble gum pink and rosy peach. I can't think why he was not impressed with my handiwork!

PRINT SHOP NOW OPEN!

Yes, you heard it right, My little print shop is finally open again! I was forced to close after some troubles with suppliers and also simply being super super busy bringing you all the lovely extra little things I have been working on.

There has also been a small change in delivery times. I now only ship on Fridays which means I have more time to dedicate to my art work. If you order before 9am GMT on a Friday your order will be sent that day. If you order after then it will be sent the following Friday.

To celebrate the reopening of the store there are some new prints... woo hoo!

Winter Warmers - I model some of my own designs for this winter
*
Dress Up - my very special birthday outfits!
*
Through Rose Tinted (small) - a smaller version of an old favourite
*
Dream a Little Dream - a darling portrait of moi
*
Les Lunettes - my favourite sunnies get another outing
*
The Cool Girls - the name says it all!

And as always all prints and postcards come with a special collectible Fifi Lapin card

As some of you may have heard there are some problems with the UK post office at the moment. There is a strike of postal worker happening this week and there may be more strikes which of course will have an impact on the delivery time of any orders and may make them slower than normal.

So for this week only any orders made will be sent on Monday to try and get to the top of the pile so to speak! For more info on delivery times please see the FAQ's on my website.

So hope you enjoy the new prints, I'm off to take Stella for a walk... to the shops!

p.s. just to confuse things even further my shop will be offline again for a short time from 10PM to 11PM EST Thursday night for server upgrades. I apologize for the downtime, but these upgrades will have a big impact over the holiday season and into the future. kisses xx

Farewell paris

Here I am wearing Twentyeighttwelve carrying my Lauduree bakery bag packed full of macaroons!

No trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the world famous Laduree bakery to pick up some of their delicious macaroons... and the other cakes were pretty tempting to!

check out the lips on those cupcakes!

I was so excited to see that the gorgeously talented Christian Louboutin has designed not only an illustrated gift box but his own macaroon - one half black one half red just like the soles on his famous shoes.

We enjoyed a glass of red with our meal in first class on the way home on the Eurostar while I made a really long list of all the items that I would be ordering from the Paris catwalks. By the time we got to London I had polished off a whole box. whoops!

Here are some of the things you'll definitely see me wearing next year

Yves blue from Yves Saint Laurent and lots of lace from Viktor and Rolf

Parisian Chic from Sonia Rykiel and vampish red from Christian Dior

Two takes on frills from Giambattista Valli and Chanel

simple chic from Chloe and Celine

Hope you like my choices

paris je t'aime

So as Promised my lovelies, here's a snap taken on my Diana camera of Sonny and I at the weekend in Paris on our little date courtesy of Eurostar. I'm wearing a rather lovely little Eley Kishimoto dress and Sonny is wearing Chloë Sevigny for O.C. I am rather partial to that pillar box red jacket and am wondering if it will fit me... Don't you love those green chairs that they have everywhere in the jardin des Tuileries? I wanted one but Sonny flatly refused to carry it home on the train for me. Plus I'm not sure where you would buy one from, I'll have to get my PA on it. They would look lovely in my courtyard.

So did you manage to see the McQueen show? I heard from my seat in the auditorium that the link had crashed because so many lady Gaga fans logged on after she tweeted about it. Oh the power of twitter eh!

Well you can still watch it over here and I must say it was pretty spectacular. Alexander certainly knows how to put on a show. The models looked as if they had been plucked from another planet and transported to earth via some magical power... they certainly didn't walk there themselves - those shoes were dangerous! Not sure how I'm going to tackle walking in those bad boys but look closely at the clothes themselves absolutely beautiful shapes complimented by intricate prints. I've got my eye on this one...

further adventure of Fifi Lapin

Hey Guys, Here's me outside the Gucci shop in Paris with my latest purchase, serious sunglasses! Not that I need them now with all this cloud around. You can just see a little peek of my Eley Kishimoto dress which I'll be posting about tomorrow along with Sonny's Paris date outfit... but anyway, I digress, tonight I'm off to the McQueen show which you too can watch along live here! almost as good as being there in person. squeal. Lets compare notes tomorrow!

Sunday Sweetness

Sunday

I am in love with Erin Fetheston. Why have I never worn her gorgeous clothes before? And she is so adorable with her white blonde bangs. Mummy presented me with a beautifully wrapped box yesterday and when I got home I opened it to find this outfit inside. Isn’t she clever, she said she saw it and immediately thought of me. Also in the box was the look book which I have been cooing over all morning. Apparently the collection was inspired by the nutcracker’s tin soldiers and other tales of toys springing to life – how sweet! I’m going straight out to get the pastel flower print cape and jeweled rabbit mask. It could almost have been designed with me in mind!

Grumpy Fifi

Saturday

Daddy has vetoed Neckar Island. I met up with my parents for a spot of lunch and straight away pulled out my beloved brochure (from out of the new Louis Vuitton bag that I bought on Thursday) I did my best to explain to him how much I deserved the outdoor roll top bath with sea view and the floating sushi banquet in the pictures but he was having none of it. 'Too expensive even for him' he said. I am grumpy now. Not even the bobbles on my Temperley dress can cheer me up.

Feeling Hopeful

Friday

Today I’m wearing Issa and flicking through travel brochures dreaming of my next holiday whilst munching on a lettuce leaf. I’m not on a diet by the way I just happen to like lettuce. Wherever I go I think I’ll try and fly Singapore Airlines. They offer proper first class treatment, a double bed complete with crisp white sheets sprinkled liberally with rose petals. I won’t want to get off the plane! Unless that is the destination is Neckar Island. Richard Bransons Caribbean hideaway that you can hire for yourself and 28 guests. I’d better start being nice to Daddy right away they both sound highly expensive!

Bow Wow

Wednesday

I did a spot of vintage furniture shopping at Camden passage today for my London town house. I got a gorgeous Eames modernist rocking chair in pale mint and a giant light up F for fifi that was reclaimed from an old cinema sign. It’s almost as tall as me! I’m so excited though Sonny was not to pleased when I asked him to lug it up and down my stairs – twice. I just couldn’t decide where to put it. I said I would take him out for dinner to say thank you. Secretly though it’s just an excuse to wear my new Luella dress. Stella has a matching bow tie collar isn’t it darling.

By the way whilst I've been entertaining myself in London I've sent my faithful PA to the NY shows for me. She's sending me regular updates and so far I am loving both Marc Jacobs and his younger Marc by Marc Jacobs lines. full on colour madness and theatrical loveliness. I declare him a genius!

see you tomorrow

one hot rabbit

Tuesday

It’s chilly today but not chilly enough. I have been aching to wear this Missoni ensemble ever since I saw it on the catwalk from the front row but maybe I should have waited until the weather really turns… or taken a quick trip to Alaska. I’m so hot I think I am going to faint. I suppose we must suffer for our art.

see you tomorrow

Hello September

Monday

I’m going to a party tonight to watch a screening of ‘The September Issue’ RJ Cutler's fantastic fly-on-the-wall documentary about Anna Wintour as she puts together an issue of Vogue. I’ve heard it’s compulsive viewing. apparently she is every bit the devil in Prada. I can’t wait! I’ve been trying on outfits all day and have settled for this Erdem number. I’m going to have to get my PA to call ahead and check nobody else has chosen the same dress, after all it is the must have of the season.

see you tomorrow!
