Now that Klara is older, we spend deeply enjoyable hours talking about outfits, accessories and what goes best with which item of clothing. I can’t describe the feeling, people.

I was experiencing extreme feelings of shyness at the need to contact one of the writers discussed in my book. After spending months tying myself in knots over the extreme discomfort of having to reach out, the author himself reached out to me with massive amounts of compliments to the book.

Nobody believes that I’m shy. My own daughter laughs in my face when I mention it.
