Stacey Bendet, the creative force behind Alice + Olivia, escapes New York for Malibu.

“It’s my summer destination of choice. We go to my in-laws’ house there and pretty much never leave. My girls love to run on the beach and swim in the pool and it’s just heaven! What do I pack? What don’t I pack! Turbans, big floppy hat, long dresses, rainbow skirts, leopard shorts, comfy sweaters for night…I like to give my summer outfits themes!

For the 4th of July we saw John C. Reilly do a fireworks show at [director] Tamra Davis’s house. We hang out with [designer] James Perse and his son who live nearby us. It’s just family fun!
