Until this Friday at 9 a.m. EST, photographer Todd Selby's book, The Selby Is in Your Place ($23), will be available in its entirely online for your reading pleasure. If you haven't already bought the book, which was released in April, then after previewing it online, you'll certainly be convinced to pick up a copy for yourself — or for a friend for the holidays!

I was excited to finally get a glimpse of Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler's paisley ping pong table, which I'd read about in interviews but never seen. Meanwhile, the massive amount of books in Karl Lagerfeld's studio truly astounded me. And, I was intrigued to see the home of director and curator Aaron Rose, whose film Beautiful Losers is a favorite of mine. Selby's photographs are so candid, and the interiors he selects are all so eclectic and personal that even the homes of those I'm unfamiliar with are fascinating to look at. Check out a few of my favorite photographs from the book below, and be sure to preview the book online before Friday!

>> Pamela Love gave Opening Ceremony a tour of her vast jewelry collection — which includes a necklace made of nooses  — in June, and now she's opened up the Brooklyn home she shares with her photographer and musician boyfriend Jordan Sullivan to Todd Selby's camera lens.

>> Earlier this week, we got a peek inside Coco Rocha's Manhattan apartment, and now some snaps of Vanessa Traina's West Village apartment — which she shares with boyfriend, Chad Muska — have turned up. Traina moved into the apartment, which is scattered with relics, fur pillows, and a giant taxidermic zebra, which her father sent to her when she moved in — in early 2008.

>> Todd Selby Moving Into Film —Todd Selby is making his way into high fashion editorial — last week he shot Vanessa Traina in furs for what sounded like Harper's Bazaar — and now, it sounds like he's going into film, too. He revealed last week that he's been working on his first film, which he hopes to enter into The Sundance Film Festival. "I've been working for a long time on figuring out a way to translate my photo and book projects and The Selby, into a moving image." And today, he Tweeted: "I am directing my first short film tomorrow, wish me luck!" [Interview, @theselby]

>> Bits: The Selby Goes High Fashion, Joe Zee's New Show Begins Filming —Todd Selby has worked with Louis Vuitton on a number of special projects and photographed Helena Christensen's home for Vogue Paris, but it sounds like he's graduating to high fashion editorial — his first? On Monday, Derek Blasberg Tweeted, "Just wrapped a high fashion photo shoot extravaganza with The Selby and Vanessa Traina. The fur was flying!" And today, Joe Zee is experiencing his own first: he started filming for his upcoming show, All On the Line. Speaking of shows . . . Andre Leon Talley and Vogue-approved model and streetstyle blogger Hanneli Mustaparta are hosting the live webcast of the Fashion's Night Out fashion show on CBS.com on Sept. 7 starting at 7 pm EST.

CasaSugar Community member Sadv recently shared some photos of her home with the Lovely Little Vignettes group, which she submitted for CB2's The Selby contest. I love the arrangement of white frames she hung on her black wall. It just goes to show you that costly artwork isn't a necessity for a statement-making wall. Since her TV and Holly Golightly artwork sit pretty low, it's great how the three bamboo poles she placed in a vase beside them draw your eye upward.
