Raina vs Diane Von Furstenburg

There is a new column that has piqued my interest

"Moonlighting, a new Curbed column in which the talented Raina Cox of If the Lamp Shade Fits takes a look at design players whose first job may not have been design. Some triumph, some flop, and some should never, ever give up their day job"

Love reading Raina's blog postings so this should be just as tasty.

The first column is about Diane Von Furstenburg and her sidelining for Sears.  Great read.  

Even better is that she is good - see below table seating

Meet The Press

AFD is back - it's been a sublime summer holiday and can't believe it's over.

We got back yesterday (unpack Kombi, 16 loads of washing and tidy house) and this morning David Killick from The Press came and interviewed me and did a photo shoot.

While my house was presentable I took some snaps -  ones similar (and more professh) will be in The Press.  These photos are for those of you that want to have a noisey too!
