I’ve mentioned over here that I’m hooked on Grace & Frankie on Netflix. A show about two women in their twilight years who find themselves living together – in the most amazing beach house, no less – after their husbands admit to, having had affair for the past 20 years – with one another.
You need to stick with the first season – it’s currently on it 4th – as it’s a little different to how the rest of the show plays out – and the first episode is a little sad too. However, saying that I was hooked after a few episodes in as I’ve been a fan of Jane Fonda, for like forever – watching her 1960’s movies, as an 1980’s fitness queen and now in her new re-incarnation at a women of a certain age who is showing Hollywood that she’s still standing. I loved her and Lily Tomlin in Nine to Five (and am still hoping that Dolly Parton will make a guest appearance in Grace & Frankie) – and that they are best friends in real life too – you can sort of see this in some episodes as their laughs look real.
I think Grace and Frankie is a modern-day ‘The Golden Girls’ – which I loved watching with my mum. Being a woman of a certain age does not mean you aren’t funny, relevant and can have a hit show, so to further build my case I’ve pulled together some style sheets of their unique fashion looks and I couldn’t let the beach house go unloved too – I mean it’s the third star of the show, right? {See the Grace & Frankie Beach House Get the Looks Here}

I’m absolutely obsessed with Grace & Frankie and can’t wait for season 5!! On the show I prefer Grace’s style but in reality I could see myself wearing those Frankie style kaftans and beaded earrings.
I love Grace & Frankie and totally in love with Grace’s look. I would really like to know the make and model of eyeglasses worn by Jane Fonda on the show.
I LOVE Graces eyeglasses from season 3. The black and light blue inside. Any idea what brand they are?
