I absolutely agree she may be completely lacking in taste, but I do read her fashion stuff (which I've said before is actually quite good, when she's not voodoo-dolling people) and though it pains me to say this, she does know her stuff and I really doubt she wouldn't know the value of something like pearls. It's pretty basic 101. But we may have to disagree on this

Sorry to disagree, but her fashion writing is shockingly bad. Leaving aside her ridiculous day-to-day blathering about the 'cigarette pant' and 'nude bodycon', her recent retrospectives on both Chanel and Dior were appallingly badly researched and failed, in both cases, to mention either of their active collaborations with the Nazis and, in Chanel's case, that she closed her factory, laying off thousands of women, preferring to become the full-time mistress of a Nazi officer.
The piece on VB recently was simply unhinged, in my opinion, and seemed to come straight from the bottom of the bottle. The fact that the editor didn't step in makes me think DMGT are in the process of giving her enough rope. The Dreary should have garnered hundreds of comments, but it is wallowing in double figures. The 'book' is at 11,000 or something in the Kindle list, despite her international whoring it out to anyone who'll listen (the Irish press seemed to suffer even more than the UK's). Nope,l time's up, I reckon, and I suspect that, without a guaranteed income, her dreams of a mortgage will remain just that.
