I’ve never been a big fan of NYE – but I do of course like any excuse to dress up! I love the star sequin embellishment and fringing on this 1920s style dress, which matches perfectly with these sandals from Jimmy Choo. Not that I could ever wear sandals in December – but if I had better circulation I would definitely wear these!

With the Christmas sales in full swing I thought I’d do some styling featuring some of my favourite things available in the sales. My festive wardrobe has been 50 shades of burgundy this year but I’m earmarking this green velvet frock for Christmas 2020! (Never to early to plan ahead 😉 I’ve styled it here with some emerald statement earrings, matching clutch and divine looking green velvet heels.

I almost choked on my cornflakes when the green version of this shoe by Camilla Elphick popped up on my Instagram feed yesterday. And then I saw they had them in a silver sequin/ gold version – could there be a prettier party flat about town this Christmas?! I don’t think so! I’ve maxed up the glitter ball look here with a spangly silver dress from Whistles. Hair slide: TopShop; bag: TopShop; earrings: Susan Caplan.

If you prefer a more casual look at Christmas then this red jumper dress from Hobbs may be a great option for Christmas Day. Cosy, comfortable and still Christmassy! I’d wear it with black opaques and boots outside and then slip on the festive flats indoors.
Earrings: J.Crew; headband: Top Shop; shoes: J.Crew.
9.12.19
I love the pine green of this shirt dress by Kitri Studio. It’s called “Alicia” which makes me like it even more 🙂 The blouson sleeves are really elegant and I like the subtle tonal leopard print of the fabric. I’ve gone full on tonal green goddess here but you could pair it with black or navy.
Boots: Jimmy Choo ; Bag: Aspinal; earrings: Accessorize; green velvet coat: Batsheva; gloves: John Lewis.
8.12.19
I love the combination of black & gold during the festive season. This black/gold/grey fair isle jumper paired with a gold lamé pleated skirt and black/gold kitten heels make an ideal cosy but Christmassy look. I call this style: “cocktail/casual” – the sort of outfit that you could wear at home when you want to dress up a bit but still be comfortable. Black beaded headband: Top Shop; shoes: Boden; Earrings: J. Crew; bag: Zara.

I bought this burgundy velvet dress of dreams from Saloni to try and it’s not going back! 😍 Look at the cute crystal and pearl bow appliqués ♥️ the puff sleeves ♥️ the deep wine plush fabric ♥️ It’s the burgundy dress I’ve been waiting my whole life for! I think eventually I will rent this dress out so that I recoup some of the cost! But for now it’s living it’s best burgundy life nestled in my wardrobe where it belongs 🙂
23.11.19
A stunning red silk chiffon gown embellished with sequins by Oscar de la Renta. A real showstopper dress for a Christmas ball perhaps! I’ve paired it here with statement earrings from Susan Caplan, sandals by Jimmy Choo and a fun clutch book bag by Olympia le-Tan.
A stylish and cosy coat from Really Wild. I like the cornflower blue/black combination and the detachable collar means you can style it different ways for dressy or casual outfits. I’ve styled it here with an ink blue velvet dress by Brora; hat from The Peruvian Connection, boots from L. K. Bennett, bag by Aspinal, earrings by Auree and gloves by Ted Baker.
20.11.19
I was really drawn to this floral midi dress I found reduced to £30 at TopShop. I love the dark winter rose pattern featuring brown roses on a cranberry red base. Its also got many of my favourite style features in a dress – tie neck detail, blouson sleeves and pleated skirt. Here I’ve styled it two different ways – the first look is dressed down with a winter coat and ankle boots by M&S. This is a good example of how you can mix patterns if the colour palette is the same. (bag by Aspinal ; earrings by Susan Caplan). The second look is dressed up with a black velvet blazer, black heels, red clutch and earrings and beaded black headband.
19.11.19
This is the elegant burgundy lace “Venice” jacket and skirt I tried on at Caroline Charles the other day. Made of french corded lace with scallop edging and velvet trim. I think it would make a great skirt suit for an Autumn/Winter mother of the bride – I’ve styled it here for a wedding with a pillbox hat by Juliette Botterill, clutch from L. K. Bennett, heels by Ted Baker and earrings from E.W. Adams.
18.11.19
This is the pretty floral silk dress I wore a couple of days ago. The “Ophelia” dress by Ethereal London has a flattering drawstring peplum waist detail and triple layered skirt. It’s a really comfortable dress to wear and is dressy without being overly formal – you could dress it up with a headpiece for an autumn/winter wedding or dress it down with boots like I did for a weekend afternoon tea. I think it’s a great day dress for Autumn/Winter and of course it’s ideal for accessorising with my favourite colour 🙂
Ethereal London are offering 20% off this Ophelia dark print range to my followers, using the discount code: LADYSMAID20.
Coat: Reiss ; Bag: Aspinal ; Boots: Bobbies ; Gloves: John Lewis ; Earrings: Anthroplogie.

Just when I thought I’d seen all the gorgeous jewel velvet dresses around another one pops up on my radar! I love the square neckline and balloon sleeves of this pink velvet dress from Kitri Studio. It has the cutest jewel buttons too. I’ve paired it here with some matching velvet heels by Silvia Lago, a tinsel bag from Zara and cluster earrings by J. Crew for a festive party outfit.

This floral midi dress from H&M has my name written all over it – burgundy print, raglan sleeves, smocked waist so you can eat and breathe – all bonus points! The flash of red in the print brightens up the wintery Burgundy too. I’ve paired it here with boots from Reiss, bag by Strathberry, coat from Reiss, gloves from John Lewis and earrings by Auree.
14.11.19
Dress: J. Crew; gloves: Boden; earrings: Louise Varberg; bag: Aspinal of London; Boots: Jimmy Choo; coat: Reiss.
Pussy bow plaid yes please! This tie neck black watch tartan dress is a great desk to dinner frock for December – work it with boots by day then and add some heels for the and sparkle for the eve!
12.11.19
All I want for Christmas is this gorgeous Burgundy velvet dress from Saloni! Look at it all dressed up like a Christmas present with those statement crystal and pearl bows. I’ve styled it here with some cluster earrings from J. Crew, clutch by Jimmy Choo and burgundy velvet Manolo Blahnik heels, available from Vestiare.
7.11.19
Forest green is one of my favourite colours at this time of year. I’ve picked out this forest green double breasted fit and flare coat from L.K. Bennett and paired it with a matching headband from the new AW collection of Juliette Botterill. Adding some pattern with a pretty floral silk dress by Ethereal London. Shoes: L.K.

The end of sunny weather isn’t so bad when there are pretty winter hats like this around!

I’ve paired it here with boots from Gianvito Rossi, bag by Chloe, sunglasses by Chloe and vintage earrings from Fellows Auctioneers for a smart/casual autumnal look.

I’m excited to be collaborating with Katherine Hooker – a British brand specialising in expertly tailored coats and jackets, made in London. They have kindly offered to make me a custom made coat from their current collection and I’m having a hard time picking a favourite!

I love the look of this new midi dress at Marks & Spencer – pretty covered buttons, blouson sleeves and a flattering cinched in waist panel. The perfect shade of green with burgundy floral print for autumn too. I’ve paired it here with burgundy suede boots from Isabel Marant, bag from The Cambridge Satchel Company and earrings from H&M.
13.9.19

I was recently asked by Closet London to pick my favourite pieces from their new Dark Romance collection and this burgundy midi dress was one of them. No prizes for guessing I would pick burgundy, but I like the unusual patterning on this one – with its freckles of pink and turquoise that I’ve highlighted in the accessories. A great way of brightening up the darker autumn/winter days.

I never really wear jeans so I’m always looking for casual day dresses that don’t look too dressy. This is my ideal comfy casual autumn outfit – patterned loose fitting midi dress, boots and jumper. I like this cropped batwing jumper from Pure Collection as its not too long so will balance well with a dress without looking too scruffy. I’ve paired the dress here with some easy to wear ankle boots from Boden, mini satchel bag by Mulberry and earrings from Mango.
I love collaborating with Fellows auction house because it gives me an excuse to pore over their fabulous auction catalogues and style my favourite pieces. Their next auction is Fine Jewellery on September 12 this week, where you can bid on any of these pieces pictured amongst many more. You can view the full catalogue here and find more details on how to bid as well as news on their upcoming jewellery auctions in September. I love emeralds so I’ve styled Lots 356, 358 and 500 here into a glamorous green outfit fit for Lady Grantham!*
(Dress, sandals and bag all available at Net a Porter).
10 September 2019
A pretty green/ivory polka shirt dress from Hobbs. Lightweight shirt dresses like this are perfect for autumn. And they have great versatility. You could remove the tie belt and add an ivory leather one to match the boots for a different look; dress it up for an event with stilettos and a headband or dress it down with a chunky knit over the top or a skinny high neck underneath. Let me count the ways I can wear thee! Ivory boots: Mango; bag: Mango; earrings: Accessorize.
9 September 2019
The sun may still be shining but there’s a definite autumn chill in the air so I think it’s finally time to enclose the toes and pack away the sandals until spring. I bought some ecru ankle boots from M&S last year which were a great neutral for matching with a wide number of dresses and I like the look of their new stone Western style ankle boot pictured here. The dress is a pretty peony pink floral wrap dress with puff sleeves from & Other Stories. Bag by Kate Spade, Mulberry scarf, Anthropologie earrings, Prada sunglasses.
8 September 2019
I love this dusky pink midi dress from Emilia Wickstead, classic clean lines with a dramatic blunt square neckline. I’ve paired it here with a matching plaited headband from Jane Taylor, Bottega Veneta clutch, Rupert Sanderson heels and Annoushka earrings, for a regal autumnal formal daywear look.
7 September 2019
Chic and sleek workwear outfit inspiration from the new A/W range at Lalage Beaumont. I’ve picked out some of my favourite pieces here – and it includes trousers – a rare occurrence on my page! But I like the look of these wide leg Portia trousers, styled here with other new pieces from Lalage: a black and white tweed coat, and Sylphide handbag in black croc. (Earrings: Laurence Coste; heels: L.K. Bennett).
The second look features a classic navy knee length dress with ivory embroidery detailing, paired here with a Manon large croc print leather handbag in navy. (Heels: Prada; earrings: Annoushka).
And finally the winter white Tina dress – a knee-length dress with full-length sleeves and illusion pockets. Paired here with the Odette large taupe croc bag, and a smokey pink pearl necklace. (Shoes: Aquazurra).

This is the first full year I’ve spent in the UK since 2013. And one of the things I missed when living abroad is the changing of the English seasons – especially autumn. There’s always one day in September when you walk outside, the air is crisp, the leaves are turning golden and you know that autumn has arrived. It’s a perfect season to reflect the colours of nature in your wardrobe – like this hazel floral midi dress in conker bloom from Boden. I’ve matched it here with boots from Mango, bag from Aspinal and earrings from Mango.
5 September 2019
I can’t promise I will be saying no to new clothes in September – it’s my Birthday next week so I will be very tempted to treat myself to something new 🙂 Maybe I will offset my shopping footprint with an old old clothes October instead 😉 I love all the vintage inspired tea dresses at L.K. Bennett at the moment and this Aubergine midi dress with cascading front frills is really pretty too. I’ve paired it here with a Strathberry tote, Gianvito Rossi heels and bee earrings from Sister Sister Collective.

It may be second hand September but you can still window shop. Also this gorgeous headband from Julian Garner is available to hire from The Cotswold Hat Club so I’m keeping it semi sustainable! I’m well aware I fill your feeds with new stuff daily making it more tempting to buy new but the original aim of The Lady’s Maid was to show how to style your outfits not to shop everything I picture. So you may want to buy this gorgeous red dress from Hobbs (I certainly do) or you may have a red dress in your wardrobe and this post has given you inspiration on how to wear it to an Autumn/Winter wedding. The only thing you’d have to worry about would be upstaging the bride! Dress: Hobbs; headband: Julian Garner / Cotswold Hat Club; bag: Chloe; shoes: Gianvito Rossi; earrings: Annoushka.
3 September 2019
If you’re taking part in second hand September then here’s some inspiration for you. Shopping second hand doesn’t mean settling for second best – there are thousands of quality pre-owned garments out there with lots of life left in them – you just need a bit more time to hunt them out! This glamorous green look is head-to-toe second hand with pre-owned designer pieces I found on Vestiare: Prada headband, Alessandra Rich dress, Dolce & Gabbana shoes, Anya Hindmarch clutch and Miu Miu earrings.
2 September 2019
I always prefer patterned dresses to block colours as a) they tend to be more figure flattering and b) if multi-toned they introduce more options for accessorising. I love this Aster dress in cream, new at Reiss with its autumnal floral design, ruffle detail and tiered skirt. You could wear this with caramel neutrals but I’ve picked out the pinky/burgundy tones here with a jacket from Mango, boots by Gianvito Rossi, bag from J. Crew and earrings also from J. Crew. You could also change the look with a chunky knit instead of a jacket or layer with a roll neck underneath come winter. For an autumn wedding add a burgundy heel and headband. Lots of options, just what I like from a frock

I’ve been wanting to pay The Berkeley a visit for months to try their Dior themed Prêt-à-Portea afternoon tea and it’s a real treat if you love tea and cakes and fashion! Each cake is inspired by a different Dior design to coincide with the Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition at the V&A Museum. My favourite was this little red velvet cake in the shape of a Dior handbag. Tea dresses are timeless and ideal for an afternoon event – I’m wearing the Montana Poppy Silk Dress by L.K. Bennet, now sold out, but I’ve spotted a few on eBay in various colours and sizes. (Click dress images to view).

I think it’s safe to say I’ve packed more suitcases in my little life than the average person, so packing for my own short holiday is a sea breeze 🙂 this is a sneak peak inside my summer suitcase for a trip to Spain next week. Pieces that are still in stock I have linked below:
7 August 2019
The Lady’s Maid is never off duty #styleneversleeps 😉 but I couldn’t resist featuring this clutch bag by Rebecca Minkoff (much more fun than an out of office email ;). I’ve paired it here with a cotton embroidered kaftan from & Other Stories, earrings from Ashiana London and my airport buy sandals from Kurt Geiger.
6 August 2019
I often get messages from ladies looking for occasion dresses to suit curvy figures. If you haven’t heard of Bombshell London then you need them in your life! This pretty blue and pink floral maxi dress has a v wrap ruched neckline to flatter the bust and a vertical pleat to skim over the hips. Did I mention it was machine washable?! I’ve accessorised it here with sandals by Jimmy Choo, clutch by J.Crew and earrings from Mango.
5 August 2019
Is it even summer if you’re not wearing shells about yourself?! This cute shell embellished bamboo bag is currently in the sale at Mango– a great little bag for summer holidays. And no summer wardrobe would be complete without a little white dress like this one from Warehouse. It has a pretty broderie hem and detachable sleeves for when you want to soak your shoulders in sunshine. Shell earrings also from Mango, hair tie by Lelet NY, sandals from Carrie Forbes and sunglasses by H&M.
4 August 2019
I bought a denim blue bardot style dress from the Conscious range at H&M last year and it’s one of my favourites for summer – the lyocell fabric is really soft and thin so great for warmer weather (unlike stiffer denim). So I like the look of this wrap style dress from their current Conscious range – with it’s pretty flounced hem and blouson sleeves – a great daily dress wardrobe staple. I’m paired it here with some neutral accessories – tortoiseshell sunglasses from H&M, bamboo bag from Mango, shell pendant earrings from Mango and burnt orange leather sandals, also from Mango.
3 August 2019
A pretty summer tiered maxi dress from Warehouse. I love the dainty daisy print and ruffled hem on this. I’d probably wear it casually (never knowingly underdressed) but I’ve dressed it up here for a summer wedding or day at the races. Hat by Camilla Rose, sunglasses by M&S, earrings by & Other Stories, bag by J. Crew and sandals by Top Shop.
2 August 2019
There may be more than one or two ladies dressed in this colour combination at Goodwood today! Ladies dressed in blue and white, colours of sponsors L’Ormarins, can enter the best dressed competition to win a holiday to South Africa. Dress by Love Shack Fancy, Hat by Vivien Sheriff, Laurence Coste earrings, Gianvito Rossi shoes, bag by Vanina.
1 August 2019
There aren’t many designers where I like everything they make but Zimmerman is one of them – always the prettiest prints and the daintiest details – I love the tiny buttons, and blouson sleeves of this Veneto border dress in red paisley. They call it red but I’m seeing pink, so I’ve matched it with some blush accessories – straw clutch from J. Crew, earrings from J. Crew, sandals by Ancient Greek Sandals and sunglasses by Chloe.
31 July 2019
This new monochrome midi from M&S is 100% cotton so great for the city summer heat and I love the pretty paisley print. I’ve accessorised it here with peep toe espadrilles from Russell & Bromley, a Strathberry Tote, earrings from H&M and sunglasses also by H&M.
30 July 2019
This is one outfit from a holiday wardrobe I have styled for a lady from Bahrain who is travelling to the highlands of Scotland this summer. A touch of tartan is always welcome so I’ve paired these snazzy tartan troos from Vivienne Westwood with a pretty floral top by MSGM and added a peplum cardigan by Alexander McQueen, green suede flats from Rupert Sanderson, a box bag by Mark Cross and earrings by Sylvia Toledano.
29 July 2019
I was perusing the dregs of the summer sales at the weekend and came across this green gingham frock from the Shrimps x Warehouse collaboration, now £20. I love the bardot neckline and tiered skirt. I’ve accessorised it here with sandals from Kurt Geiger, bag from Zara, earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane and sunglasses by Chloe.
28 July 2019
Andrew Gn frocks always stop me in my tracks – I love the billowing lace panelled sleeves and cute keyhole cut-out of this midi from their AW 19 collection. I’ve paired it here with a hat by Rachel Trevor Morgan, amethyst Lottie bag from Aspinal, amethyst earrings from Annoushka and heels by Gianvito Rossi.
27 July 2019
Goodwood style inspiration with this elegant lace dress by Temperley London, hat by Juliette Botterill, available to hire from The Cotswold hat club; shoes by Gianvito Rossi, Aspinal of London handbag and Laurence Coste earrings. Ladies are encouraged to dress in blue and white when attending the Qatar Goodwood Festival next Friday 2 August – the signature colours of sponsors L’Ormarins. It’s well worth making the effort as the prize for best dressed is a holiday to South Africa!
22 July 2019
This dreamy dress from Beulah would be top of my holiday wishlist if I was jetting off to an exotic island for a vacation this summer. I love the pink tile print and the ruffled off shoulder sleeves and hem. I’ve accessorised it here with sunglasses by H&M, bag by Loeffler Randall, earrings by Simone Rocha and sandals by Valentino.
21 July 2019
I bought these tan studded leather sandals from the airport yesterday (it’s always hard to resist shopping temptations when you have time to kill at airports! 😬) but I reckon these will be a summer staple – neutral tan base with multicolour gems which means they will match with any frock and great for day-to-eve!
Tan studded leather slides, Kurt Geiger.
20 July 2019
I’m finally donning The Polka Dress today en route to Miami – I had to give it the longest day of wear for it’s maiden voyage! I accessorised my travel outfit with a red le pliage tote from Longchamp – my favourite bags for travel as they’re lightweight and fit a lot in. The red loupe sandals from Dune aren’t available any more so I’ve linked here to a pair I spotted on eBay. My nail varnish is “sizzling hot” from Essie – a vibrant hibiscus coral shade of red.
19 July 2019
With Glyndebourne Festival well under way several followers are looking for black tie inspiration for a night at the opera. I’ve picked out this Gardenia Organza dress – currently in the Goat Fashion sale. It has a floral print covered with a gold lamé check to add a bit of glamour. Love the cute shoulder bows too. I’ve paired it here with gold sandals from Jimmy Choo, beaded bag and earrings by Rosantica.
18 July 2019
This elegant floral silk “Ophelia” dress was kindly gifted to me by Ethereal London. I love the delicate painterly floral pattern and the soft peplum detail to the waist – a perfectly pretty summer dress for day-to-eve events. I’ve paired it here with a beaded bag from Zara, pink sandals from Boden and shell earrings by Kenneth Jay Lane (sold out so I’ve linked to a similar style).
16 July 2019
Wearing my Top Shop daisy print midi dress for dinner at Cliveden – what an amazing view from the terrace!
