“Having worked in fashion for over four decades, I’ve learned that style isn’t about constantly buying new. Many of my looks are created from past season sale bargains — mixed with accessories I’ve collected over the years. I also resell my pre- loved and vintage items from my archived collections of over 50 years on vinted.co.uk⁠� because all fashion deserves a second life. 🤍💙

Each element of my outfit was bought on sale - 10 years ago to last summer.

Challenge: What were you like in the 1980s?
.
This was me, back in the day - all glammed up- fashion and style so very 80s - and the hair - well what can I say? Check out Disney+ Jilly Cooper's Rivals for similar...
.
The world was different then - no smart phones, no social media, no judgement.
.
We could go wild, have fun, have secrets.
Life was glamorous, exciting and for living - not for recording every moment.
.
If you like an escapist holiday read - a fictional novel with a twisty turny plot - set in the glamorous international jet set world of the 80s - you may enjoy my latest book - Circle of Secrets.
.
Now on pre-order at Waterstones, Amazon and independent bookshops

"Ceril has absolutely captured the excesses of the glamour, glitz and decadence of life in the fast lane within the international modelling world of the 80s - but where some of the innocent ambitious young girls also experienced a hidden darkside of the industry"
Jilly Johnson, model and actress

What was a fun and memorable highlight of your wee

What was a fun and memorable highlight of your week?
Mine was:
@alfreddunhillpadelclassic @thehurlinghamclub
Champion players, celebs and sports personalities played padel matches,
including @judymurray_ @jamie__murray @joemarler17 @michaelmcintyre
whilst we drank one of my favourite rose wines @maisonmirabeau and ate delicious food by @cubitthouse and escaped the unpredictable weather changes from blue sky to thunder, lightening, hailstones and torrential rain.

No matter how busy life gets, having something joyful - big or small - to look forward to each week makes a difference.
It doesn’t have to cost a lot — just something that lifts your spirit and breaks the daily routine.
It’s amazing how one fun day or evening can lift your energy for days afterwards.

✨Life needs little pockets of joy sprinkled through the week ✨

.
Here's a couple of early pre- publication reviews - very much appreciated.
They mean a lot ❤️
.
"From the glitz and glamour of the suoer-rich to its shadow-side when men held the power, Ceril Campbell captures the excesses of the '80s in the spirit of Jackie Collins"
Carrie Hughes author - The Woman from Book Club and The Trad Wife.
@carriehughesbooks
.
"Glossy, sexy, funny - this is the summer escapism you've been looking for"
Celia Walden - US Editor-at-large, Daily Telegraph
@celiawalden
.
'Circle of Secrets sent me ricocheting back in time to my life as a Model Agent in the 80’s and beyond. How different the lives of women were then. The predatory men and the dark underbelly of the glamorous world of fashion are perfectly captured with all the highs and lows. The story ends with an unexpected and fascinating twist. Well worth a read."
Melissa Richardson - (director of Take 2 Model Management from 1982-2009)

" Loved it! Just finished the book and I cried. A fabulous page turner."

My personal fashion and style interpretation - direct from my kitchen -
for the MET GALA at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
.
The theme was :
"Fashion is Art"
.
I simply followed the trend worn by many of the celebs with their costumes designed to have hands covering their body parts...
.
Apron chic or Met Gala ready?

When your second fictional novel 'Circle of Secret

When your second fictional novel 'Circle of Secrets' is your new baby, after a couple of years' gestation - it means a great deal - especially when you initially see the cover and then hold a real, early review copy for the very first time.
.
It really is like being the proud mum of a new baby and holding them with excitement, joy and gratitude for the very first time.
.
I remember also being proud for my debut novel 'Secrets in the Dark' -
But most of all - I'm exceptionally proud of my two (now very grown up and successful) human babies ❤️ @bellacampbell1 @roryalexandergardens
.
Thank you @booksmjp for helping me birth my second book.
.
Publication date 2nd July 2026
.
Currently on pre-order on Amazon, Waterstones and independent bookshops
