Let's Colette A Day


The Selby has some friends round to play

Ever-ethereal, Diane Pernet makes an appearance


Dazed, Confused and Done In (that's my state of mind, not the three people in the photo...)


Thanks to the lovely Donna Watson for her bouncer-dodging undercover reportage and Karl Hab for the final shot

Sign Of The Times

Here's some pix from the signing itself. It's all a bit of a blur but it was great to finally meet some of the people I wrote about, and who I feel I know so well. You spend two years communicating with a person and imagining what they're like, then they show up looking totally different. Weird.






The Selby finally enters my lair!

Thanks to Karl Hab for the pix

Interior Ministry

I've been having an interiors moment of late. Perhaps it's because I finally painted the front room; maybe it's the imminent arrival of a new bathroom suite. Or, it could be down to the recently finished double-glazing-and-flash-new-blinds project that has seen my flat flooded with light – and filled with brawny men – for the first time in years.

Whatever it is, when it comes to inspiration www.theselby.com is my first (and often last) port of call.

So, the fact that in less than 6 days Todd Selby and I will be signing our new books in the same place, at the same time, is beyond exciting! I'm wondering if I should pack a moodboard to get his opinion on the bathroom...



The Selby's new book: The Selby Is In Your Place



Todd Selby and me (almost) in the same place...

Looking through Todd's site, I just came across these snaps of Yoshiko Kajitani's home. Yoshiko is the founder of Yoshiko Creation Paris, and one of the jewellers I profiled in Fashion Jewellery: Catwalk & Couture. She has created the most amazing piece of jewellery to accompany the book's launch at Colette. It goes on display tomorrow morning so until then, feast your eyes on this...
