Self-promotion time (sorry, folks):

I have a piece in the May issue of ELLE, called The New White House, about this amazing Barbara Bestor designed eco-house in Topanga Canyon, where I practically wanted to buy an organic gentleman farm and hangout amidst the lavender (as long as I could dip my toes in that amazing pool too).  Seriously, one neighbor had a wooden bucket of fresh basil sitting outside her gate with a sign that said, “Help yourself!”

The owners, just as fab as the house, eco-business dude Scott Vineberg and Mona Moore Toronto shoe store co-owner Lisa Bush will be opening an LA Mona Moore annex in Venice this summer, so look out for more info on that.
