Currently looking to royal style icons HM The Queen and Princess Diana in the hope that I will look as stylish as them with a brolly at Royal Ascot nest week ☔️😅 showers are still forecast so head to my blog for some stylish umbrella recommendations alongside more last minute Ascot prep top tips! 💕Link in bio ☝🏻☝🏻 (📷: Getty Images)💫 #newblogpost #royalascot #royalascot2019 #royalascotprep #toptips #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
I've had my eye on this elegant pencil dress from @goatfashion for a while so it was on my radar for Royal Ascot, but alas I was to slow to snap it up in their recent summer sale! 🤦🏻‍♀️ It's the most beautiful vibrant shade of geranium red ❤️💞🧡 (not sure if geranium is classified as red, pink, orange or all of the above ?! 🤔☺️) And don't get me started on those buttons and sleeves 😍😍😍 *immediately sets up eBay alert for my size* 😅 (full outfit details via link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻)💫 #royalascot #lastminuteladies #dressofdreams #goatfashion #ascothats #fashionattheraces #whattowear #royalenclosure #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
The clock is ticking with 5 days to go until Royal Ascot gets underway ⏰ 🏇👒👗 If you’re a #lastminute lady or maybe you want a budget back up outfit just in case! (One of my dresses is under lock and key in case @pugmoiselle gets her dirty paws on it! 😅🐶🐾) here’s some affordable outfit inspo - all dresses under £200 (3 are under £100) 👗👗👗👗 The hat boxes are rapidly filling up and flying out of @cotswoldhatclub this week but these 4 are all still available to hire! 👒👒👒👒 dress details via link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻💫 #royalascot #lastminuteoutfit #ascothats #hatspiration #hathire #cotswoldhatclub #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
Is anyone else googling several different weather forecasts until you find one where it isn’t raining at Ascot next week?! 😅☔️😩 Fingers crossed these grey skies will have moved on by Tuesday 🌬 ☁️🌧☁️🌧The one good thing about planning an outfit last minute is that at least it is easier to dress appropriately for the weather - which is always topsy turvy in England, even in summer, so never a safe bet! Another good thing for last minute ladies is the summer sales which started this week at lots of shops 👗👗👗 (see how I’m trying to find some silver linings to these clouds?!) 😅 This polka dot dress by @marcjacobs is in the sale at @netaporter and pairs well with this dotty veiled beret from @williamchambersmillinery 👒🖤 Here’s hoping the weather doesn’t rain on the Ascot parade next week! 🌞 (full outfit details via link in bio 👆🏻👆🏻)💫 #rainraingoaway #royalascot #ascothats #fashionattheraces #polkadotdress #williamchambers #hatspiration #whattowear #royalenclosure #dresscodes #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom

Black and white is a classic look for Royal Ascot 🖤🕊You can't wear a dress like this at a wedding so the races is the place to make a monochrome statement! 🖤 just remember to increase your personal space if you are wearing white - one drink spillage and it won’t be monochrome for long! 😬🙈🥂full outfit details via link in bio ☝🏻☝🏻💫 #blackandwhite #monochromestyle #myfairlady #royalascot #ascothats #ascotstyle #whattowear #fashionattheraces #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
I had multiple technical issues yesterday 👩‍💻 it’s amazing I’ve got this far on Instagram tbh! I barely knew what a hashtag was a year ago # ?
