I just picked up the latest issue of C Magazine (California Style) and came a cross an article about this couple, the legendary big wave surfer Laird Hamilton and his wife, the former volleyboll pro Gabby Reece. Their approach to life is very inspiring and i met both of them a few month ago at Malibu Farm Cafe during a photoshoot-lunch.  Sitting down at a table, enjoying Helens delicious food and talk surf, Hawaii and health with these too was fun. Gabby is a amazon goddess and she has such a presence and a way about her that’s very appealing. And Laird couldn’t be nicer. Remember that he was shooting the Malibu pier during the huge swells we had this fall?

Too long since I’ve been up here, or anywhere near for that matter. The serenity is amazing and this rock is where Justin took me on our first week together… 5 years ago. It’s still just as magic and just as pretty, my favorite little rock in Topanga. We shot here today btw! 🙂

The light during sunset is just gorgeous.

And glowing!

Catalina, and some fog… or smog.

My favorite brand for this fall is James Perse. He sure knows how to make cozy and classic… and soft. I want all of this and I would like to camp out in those black tents on a deserted beach as well all wrapped up in comfy wool blankies. I love his whole approach to Malibu living and to the outdoors.
