Malibu's New Shopping Center

Summer in Malibu, California can often mean hours spent on Pacific Coast Highway to run even the simplest of errands. But soon Malibu's wealthy residents won't have so far to travel. The LA Times reports on the Malibu Lumber Yard, a new $25-million shopping complex built on the site of the old lumber yard. The new center will include shops from James Perse, Tory Burch and J. Crew. The 2,400-square-foot special resort store, J.Crew at-the-Beach will offer beach delivery service and a Malibu House Guest Survival Kit, a beach bag filled with flip-flops, swimwear and another beach-friendly items.

The two-story, open-air center will offer a laidback hangout in the form of a central deck with lounge chairs and hammocks for children's activities, outdoor dining and wireless computer access. A few local business will be included and are paying reduced rent.

Some longtime Malibu residents question the need for another shopping center in Malibu, especially one that is stuffed with upscale retail chains. It's another sign that the town, once a funky surfer's paradise, is now the home of the exclusive rich.

James Perse Casual Tee Dress

Filed under: Apparel

Yes folks, this is dress. I know it looks like a t-shirt; to some it may even look more like a boyfriend's t-shirt you would wear to bed, but you would be wrong. James Perse and his designer's have created the Casual Tee Dress for those hot summer days, where you just want to throw something lightweight on and be on your way. Given the simplicity, you have a blank canvas where you could virtually wear any type of accessories to create a look all of your own. It is a bit short, so I wouldn't wear this little number on a windy day. Price $95.

How Much Would You Pay To Have George Clooney's Hands On You?

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

The fun thing about the Get Hands On Campaign of celebrity handprinted T-shirts from James Perse is seeing which celeb handprints are bringing in the most money on Charity Folks. The high-ticket item for the auction which benefits the Revlon/UCLA Women's Cancer Research Program is a shirt from George Clooney. Clooney's pink paw prints are currently trading at a brisk $1,000 easily outpacing the king of tiny T-shirts Simon Cowell who floats in at a distant second of $330 but is still far above Paula Abdul, Randy Johnson and Ryan Seacrest (who was going for $85 last time I checked). Bargain shopping? The T-shirts from actors in the cast of "Scrubs." NBC's Hoda Kotb and comedian Carlos Mencia are bidless thus far but we've still got over a week to save them the shame of making unwanted T-shirts.

If you simply must have Clooney, you can also donate $45 to the Entertainment Industry Foundation and pick up a limited edition version of handprints done by George Clooney, Samuel L. Jackson or Keira Knightley.
