Minnie in Malibu

I wish I had seen the APT by LSD on Vogue.com feature on Minnie Mortimer's Malibu home earlier.  Since she's an avid surfer, it would have made the perfect follow up to my Surf's Up post.  I'm waiting for new bookcases to arrive so I was very taken with all her fabulous built-ins.  There is also nothing I love more than seeing what's on someone else's shelves.  The bookcases will flank my sofa so that means I can't hang the art until after they arrive.  I can't wait to create a new gallery wall like Minnie's.  I love her mix of artwork and photography.  Another example of buy what you love and you'll find a place for it.

A Blue and White Wedding

When I saw the photo of Minnie Mortimer's wedding reception in The New York Times, I thought the table looked beautiful.  I never found any more photos until last week when I was looking at Carolyne Roehm's website.  The rest of the details are just as lovely as I knew they would be and are definitely going in my wedding inspiration folder.  I also love that Minnie didn't wear a strapless dress.  They full announcement of her nuptials to director Stephen Gagan in the Vows section is worth the read.
