“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford”. SAMUEL JOHNSON, The Life of Samuel Johnson


This is the last week of August, and I can’t contain my excitement for Autumn.

It’s going to be one fantastic season with so many fabulous fashion trends to embrace… be sure to keep your eye out for my next posts! But before we dive into Autumn’s fabulous prints, coats, oversized jumper, and cute boots, let’s immerse ourselves once again in Summer 2018 fashion.

Mews of Mayfair

ELEGANT DUCHESS FASHION Swarovski Flash Pierced Earrings, White, Rose Gold Plating White Rose gold-plated | Forever Unique Red And White Off-Shoulder Dress | MIU MIU sunglasses | Glamorous pear embellished sandals | Radley Bag | Mews of London

This red and white off-shoulder dress beauty, it’s probably the most complimented dress I own!  It’s such a standout piece! An ultra-feminine dress complete with a striped print, a belt for a more flattering fit and a matching necktie to accessorise the look. This dress is guaranteed to give you a glamorous 50’s vintage holiday look and enhance your holiday glow.

These gorgeous stripes are so energizing.  I find a combination of white and red perfect for summertime.  They’re vibrant, cheerful, and so beautiful!  In addition to this dress, below are a few of my favourite summertime dresses!

The best part, this gorgeous gem from Forever Unique is only just over £80. I love finding a good bargain that looks like a few hundred pounds luxury piece, because who says you can’t look good on a budget.

What I also love about this dress in particular, aside from fit and movement of course, is the fact that I can wear it during the day and at night with equal ease. Great for day with cute flats like this fabulous pair from Glamorous (sold out), it transforms into a cute cocktail option with a simple swap of accessories. Just add high heels, a polished clutch and voila.

    Hello duchess
    I loved the dress, it really looks like a luxury piece and it was really a bargain, the pictures are fantastic and this dress was made to these locations where you took pictures, it’s a real city dress. It fits in perfectly with the city and I think that was your goal.
    Today on my blog I also play an English duchess, can you guess who?
