Rachel Ashwell at her Malibu Home

I wrote this post two years ago but now I want to bring you up to date. Rachel has a new business venture, Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture and a new Prairie style. Her new book will be out in the Fall of 2013.  Here's a look...

One of  my fav Brit designers, Rachel Ashwell, founder of Shabby Chic, mentioned in my Euro Shabby Chic post, has rented this wonderful Malibu beach "shack" home.  In the last two years, she closed 15 stores, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and said goodbye to her house in the tony Malibu Colony.  I had no idea there was trouble for the chic shops but glad to see her getting back into her creative style.  Los Angeles Times.

They say Audrey would often sneak a bite of a dark chocolate bar, but it had to be dark.  They love the commercial.  See the video and an article here...

Anjelica Huston's Three Rivers Ranch

Anjelica Huston is a beautiful woman who has a  simple yet  colorful, expressive ranch house  in Three Rivers, CA .  I'm featuring it because it's very near my home town.   She's one of my favorite actresses with so many credits to her name.  Most are not familiar with  "Family Pictures",  a two-part TV adaptation of the Sue Miller novel of the same name. Anjelica and Sam Neill are a 1950s married couple with six children, one of whom, Randall, is autistic . The parents' initial decision not to institutionalize the boy results in a terrific strain on the rest of the family.                         She also played an Italian in "Prizzi's Honor" directed by her father.     Vogue Italia  recognized Angelica's 60th birthday recently by displaying many of the above photos.  She is pictured with Jack Nicholson, her longtime friend.  At her ranch house at lef...
