Inspired - Home of the week, Minnie Mortimer

 
I can't help but save "inspiring" images for my future cottage by the sea. I'm getting ready for a change, so my head is spinning with fresh ideas. These recent photos from a Vogue article on fashion designer Minnie Mortimer's Malibu home stopped me in my tracks. I mean WOW, this home spoke to me. I love that she channels a West Coast meets East Coast vibe. Her home is unpredictable and welcoming but in a fabulously chic way. I'm personally drawn to a casually, glamorous way of living myself. It not only suits my tastes but also my evolving lifestyle. This quote sorts of sums her style up perfectly: My last question can’t flummox Mortimer, either. “Are you a T-shirt girl or an evening-gown girl?” I inquire. “Both!” she hollers. “I cover a lot of ground in my life. Besides, there’s nothing I love more than a costume change." I couldn't agree more! (and can only dream of wearing evening gowns)

How wonderful are the walls of books in her home?

Thanks for this post. We do not need to make the choice between evening gown and t shirt. We can be many things, and all at the same time, but mostly we need to be true to ourselves.
