Courteney's Chic Retreat

I've always heard that Courteney Cox enjoys renovating and decorating homes so when ELLE DECOR offered me a sneak peek at Malibu retreat. She worked on the interiors with designer Trip Haenisch to create a "modern barn" look and feel.  I especially love how the vintage bar stools warm up the white contemporary kitchen. For more photos and the full story, pick up the new issue of ELLE DECOR or check out the online story.

Surf's Up: Part Deux

The surfer images from Vogue reminded me that I took some photos of surfers myself while I was in LA. I made Christian of Maison21 take me to Malibu so I could see what all the hype was about. I wasn't that impressed with what looked like a trailer park plopped down on the side of the road (I'm sure the homes look much better from the ocean side) but I did enjoy all the hot surfers. I swear the one in the first few photos saw me taking his picture and started posing! Only in LA! I thought we could use some fun man candy and beach photos on this gloomy day. Enjoy!
