If you've finished the second series of Bridgerton, you're probably like me, a little bit obsessed. Actually, I still can't stop thinking about it all. Yes, the Duke's spoon-licking ways were great in series one, but Anthony Bridgerton's furrowed brows and heavy panting will stay with me for all of eternity.

I don't know about you but while watching the second series of Bridgerton, I suddenly wanted to shop for a lovely lavender dress, and some dainty jewels, and I quite fancied doing my hair in a fishtail plait - could this be the Kate Sharma effect? I think it might well be.
Turns out that I'm not alone! According to the likes of John Lewis, ebay, Accessorize and more retailers, there has been a strange surge in all sorts of Bridgerton-type purchases.
Let's run through what people are buying as a result of the hit Netflix show…

This series I definitely noticed amazing makeup on the hit Netflix show. I couldn't take my eyes off everyone's glowing skin. Well, when Anthony Bridgerton wasn't emerging from the water in that white shirt anyway. Just adding this photo in here because we all need to see it again...

According to Alex Gox, a Home Design Stylist, the return of Bridgerton has created a demand for high society inspired interiors. "From decorative furniture to gilded mirrors, regency reigns supreme this spring. Pastels are a great start for this look and repeat patterns in 19th century inspired prints.
