Francesca Buffo, founder of Lady Holiday, has a few go-to styles. The Socialite is one of them — here’s how to wear it well.

The Socialite

The Socialite by Lady Holiday embraces statement-making maximalism with confidence. She appreciates the bold aesthetic of 80s and 90s jewelry design and knows how to incorporate these powerful pieces into contemporary looks. She's at home anywhere from gallery openings to garden parties.

What She Loves

Chunky gold pieces dominate her collection. She can wear big gold collar necklaces from the 80s that were huge, big gold button earrings and then a classic gold link with one big gold charm. She appreciates substantial pieces that make a visual impact and tell a story. 

How To Style It 🪄

Pair gold statement pieces with bohemian flowing floral dresses that are on trend now, and maybe add structure with a belted navy blazer. Complete with a large satin clutch with tassel detail. For casual days, wear gold jewelry with simple white tees and jeans, letting the accessories create impact while maintaining that perfect high-low balance.

About

I’m 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 — 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.
