People think that buying something for their home which is up-to-date is chic, but often it's a cliche. I call people who simply give clients the current 'thing' stylists not decorators.

I'm hopeless at telling lies. I can attempt strategic ones in order not to hurt people's feelings, but then I'll blow it 10 minutes later.

I don't really do a big Saturday supper. I prefer entertaining in the daytime.

It's rude to not try and look up-to-date. Is rude the right word? Yes! It's rude - rude to other people.

I'd like not to have these great puffy lobes on my ears - I'd like them to taper in.
