Homes of the Artistic & Fashionable: The Selby is in Your Place

Do you shop at Urban Outfitters? Listen to Broken Social Scene? Eat organic, or know anyone who wears thick resin frame nerd glasses and sports an ironic beard? Well then, you may just qualify yourself as a hipster. Don't worry, it's stylish - just take a look at the extremely fashionable people captured by famed photographer Todd Selby.

Todd Selby is the creator of the internationally known style blog, The Selby. His blog captures the perfectly casual stylings of people who live their lives just a tad more creatively than most: actors, musicians, artists, models, designers, and club stars are all just a few sources of inspiration for Todd's diamond sharp lens.

In his new book, The Selby Is In Your Place, Todd puts in paper form the best of his fascinating peeks into the minds of his muses. Perusing someones home is like peering into their mind, even more so than analyzing one's outfits. While clothes are what we externally present to others, it is often in the home that we can reflect on one's collection of life experiences.

The homes featured in The Selby Is In Your Place are relentlessly quirky and full of eclectic memorabilia and random knick-knacks. They range from old-fashioned cottages to ultra-modern condos, from New York to Tokyo, and everywhere in-between. If you are moving, have just moved, or have lived somewhere for years, then you will find that this book will inspire you to dust off those paintbrushes and trek out to flea markets in search of your own touch of Selby hipness.

Here are a few snapshots of some of my favourite homes:
