Nadia, who rose to fame over a decade ago as fashion's 'It Girl', added a gorgeous black and white throwback image of her mother as part of her tribute.
The fashion guru also shared images from the funeral memorial book, which featured throwback pictures of her mother and her family.

Interviewed after her loss last weekend, Nadia told Sunday Confidential: 'Mum was a pretty vibrant woman.'
Nadia added despite her grief, she went ahead with a party celebrating her daughter Cordelia's 2nd birthday.
'There’s no way that Mum would have wanted me to cancel anything. She loved to bring joy to the world, just like I do, and that’s what that was,' she said.
The socialite shares her toddler with her investment advisor husband Michael Wayne.
Nadia recorded the joyous arrival of their beloved first child with a post to Instagram in December 2023.
