Normal People – Marianne Style
I have never been one of those people who binged watched a television series…until now. Whether it is because the never ending lock down is not leaving us much else to do, or whether it is because the garden furniture is now too wet to sit on, yesterday I watched nine episodes of Normal People, the television series based on the acclaimed novel by Sally Rooney. I have three episodes to go and am totally hooked on the beautiful adaptation of the modern love story between Marianne and Connell, who are wonderfully played by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal. It is touching, it is heartbreaking, and it feels very real as a…

Today’s post is dedicated to my current fashion obsession, the big chunky jewellery of the 1980’s. I’m talking of Dynasty style, the pearls worn by Princess Diana, the glamorous excess of 1980’s Chanel, where gold coloured, gilt style jewellery was worn in layer upon layer. It was sort of gaudy, very showy, and absolutely gorgeous, and now it seems that it is back with a vengeance. This Spring, the jewellery trends are very much 1980’s. Chanel resort 2020 has pearls and gold chains layered up over traditional Chanel tweed, whilst Grazia has golden chains of all sizes, chunky bracelets and a range of earrings and hair clips that all owe…
