The Cheeky Mistress is probably my favorite character. She embodies that Audrey Hepburn vibe with her long cigarette holder and flashy dress. She's the woman who brings theatrical elements to everyday style with confident elegance. She's quirky, fun, and impossible to ignore.
She gravitates toward statement accessories that create dramatic visual impact. Sheβll walk into a room with big feather earrings and a beautiful straw hat. She embraces bold colors and unexpected combinations that express her playful personality through sophisticated choices.
The Cheeky Mistress pairs dramatic accessories with simple foundations. She'll wear a big marabou feather shrug over a simple dress, letting the theatrical element take center stage. She's not afraid to mix textures and proportions, creating memorable looks that balance whimsy with refinement.
Think Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City.
Iβm Francesca Buffo, founder of Lady Holiday. Before starting this passion project, I spent years working for brands like Ralph Lauren, Repetto, Cath Kidston, and Stubbs & Wootton β places that taught me the value of storytelling, heritage, and lasting style. Lady Holiday is my way of sharing that love through carefully sourced vintage jewelry, each piece with its own little sparkle and story.
