I love this feminine pastel pink midi dress by Brock Collection worn by The Duchess of Sussex on a visit to Royal Variety at Brinsworth House today 🎭 The Odilia Poplin dress has a delicate floral print, square neckline and puffed ruched sleeves, with a form fitting cut - showing off the growing baby bump! 🤰An unusual choice of dress for this time of year and a departure from her usual minimalist, block colour style of dress and neutral colour palette. Brock Collection is an LA based label with some really pretty dresses - romantic but sophisticated too. 💖Meghan’s grey coat is by Canadian label @soiaandkyo (📷: PA) 💫 #duchessofsussex #meghanmarkle #royalstyle
I’m channelling Narnia in this ice queen winter white look ❄️👑❄️👑 If you want to stand out from the crowd without wearing colour at your Christmas party then this ivory jumpsuit from @Reiss and faux fur jacket by @Ted_baker will do the trick 🌟Just make sure you refine your eating and drinking skills whilst wearing it and steer clear of the red wine! 🍷🙈 This would also look fab for an alternative winter bride ❄️👰❄️Heels by Jenny Packham x L.K. Bennett, clutch by Wilbur & Gussie and earrings from Susan Caplan💫#winterwhite #jumpsuit #festivestyle #christmasstyle #christmaspartyoutfit #winterbride #whattowear #instastyle #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
This is the T shirt dress from Zara I mentioned the other day - It’s a really casual and easy to wear dress but the contrasting printed panels in the skirt add a really stylish touch to an otherwise plain dress (It’s called Combined Printed Dress if you want to look it up). I sometimes wear it with a jumper/ polo neck for added warmth or you could wear with a black blazer for a smarter look. I’ve pictured it here with a classic camel coat from Hobbs, shoes from L. K. Bennett and the coral red @johnlewisandpartners cashmere scarf from my weekend gift guide. I was thinking of getting this red scarf for myself for Christmas but it’s now sold out! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll have to pick a different colour 🌈 ☺️ Followers are always looking for ideas for work bags - I bought a bag similar to this tote from @aspinaloflondon in their January sale a few years ago - it's quite a good work bag as it is really roomy and fits a laptop, shoes etc....so worth checking out 💫Congrats to the two followers who won my competition for a copy of Wardrobe Wisdom yesterday - your books will be posted today! 💫 #dressoftheday #tshirtdress #zaradress #workwear #workingwardrobe #whattowear #winterstyle #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
I could see one of the York Princesses in this striking red coat by Delpozo ❤️ I’ve matched it here with a hat by @sarahcantmillinery, available to hire from @cotswoldhatclub, and taupe accessories (tap for credits) for a festive formal look ❤️🎄💫 #statementcoat #wintercoat #festivestyle #christmasstyle #delpozo #hathire #winterhat #hatspiration #winterwedding #instastyle #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
If you’re looking for Christmas shopping inspiration this weekend I’ve rounded up some of my favourite gift ideas into a gift guide / hint list / wish list 🎄💝✨The only “person” I’ve bought for so far is my dog 🐶 so I need a little inspiration myself! ☺️ And yes that is a stapler - I’m not weird, I lust like to be organised 🤓💖☺️ link in bio ☝🏻☝🏻 #newblogpost #christmasgiftideas #stockingfillers #christmaspresents #christmasgiftguide #christmasshopping #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ p.s. I’m collating all the entries from my Christmas competition yesterday and will pick two from a hat 👒 later today! 💫
Festive style is all about Glitter ✨✨✨ so this is a perfect budget party frock from Zara if you have any Christmas/New Year parties to attend over the next few weeks 🥂I’ve matched it with accessories from my wish list - heels by @lkbennettlondon vintage earrings from @jennifergibsonjewellery and glitter clutch by @wilburandgussie 💫 #partydress #glitterdress #christmaspartyoutfit #nyeoutfit #festivestyle #christmasstyle #theladysmaid #instastylist #wardrobewisdom
This post is for my Australian followers 🇦🇺 lots of you have contacted me wanting inspiration for smart festive outfits to wear on a summer’s Christmas Day in Australia 🌞🎄🇦🇺 I can see it must be annoying for you to follow my page and see jumpers, scarves and gloves every day! 😅 So thank you for following despite the lack of clothing inspiration relevant to your current season! ☺️ I equally find it difficult to imagine a summery Christmas as Christmas time is so related to winter in my mind ❄️ I did once spend Christmas in Hawaii several years ago (working) and it didn’t feel like Christmas at all! 🏝 So here is a look especially for the Aussies 🇦🇺 This chain print dress is from @Zara Australia 🇦🇺 I love the chain print style dresses Zara are doing a lot of lately - they look super classy and stylish 🌟 The other day I was wearing their black T-shirt dress that has contrasting chain print panels in the skirt and someone asked me if it was Hermès! 😄 The red/green colours in this dress add a festive touch 🎄 but the style is still summery 👗 I’ve styled it here with earrings, bag and shoes all from Zara and sunglasses by @tomford 💫 #christmasinthesun #australianchristmas #festivestyle #christmasstyle #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom

I’m cosying up in this cocoon of a Christmas jumper from @topshop this morning! 🎄 are you wearing a Christmas jumper today?! 💫 @savechildrenuk #christmasjumperday #joyeuxnoel #christmasjumper #festivestyle #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
I thought my wardrobe needed a little brightening up this December ❤️ so I consulted my Little Red Dress weekend blog post 👩‍💻 and bought this festive frock from @hm 🌹I don’t often wear bright red - it is a bit of a “look at me” colour so you have to be in the right mood to wear it...It’s certainly a colour that has the power to change how you feel the minute you put it on! 💃 I love the cut out lace sleeves of this simple tunic dress ❤️ it’s so cold today so I’m wearing it with my trusty velvet luxe tights from @marksandspencer, suede boots from @lkbennettlondon and the cosiest cashmere scarf from @broracashmere 🧣 I’m off to a festive “work” Christmas lunch with my chief Cotswold collaborator @cotswoldhatclub 🎄👒🎄👒 I can’t decide if it’s too early for red lipstick! 💄what do you think?! 😅 💫 #littlereddress #festivefrock #christmasstyle #festivestyle #christmasdress #redlipstick #whattowear #dressoftheday #ootd #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
This poinsettia pussy bow dress from @boden_clothing is so festive, I love it ❤️💜❤️💜 I’d wear it with black opaques and boots and some stylish amethyst earrings like these ones from @susancaplan 💜 for a colourful Christmassy look ❤️💜❤️💜 #festivestyle #pussybow #boden #jaeger #susancaplan #aspinaloflondon #lkbennett #tedbaker #christmasstyle #whattowear #theladysmaid #wardrobewisdom
