Sunday Bonus: Alice + Olivia Malibu Picnic
On Sunday, Alice + Olivia kicks off summer by hosting a surfside family picnic at the Malibu Lumber Yard, and neighbors Tory Burch and Intermix are chipping in on the festivities offering kid face-painting, balloon art and jewelry making.
To get the party started, Alice + Olivia will be handing out complimentary lunch boxes decorated by designer Stacey Bendet and packed with healthful sandwiches, pasta salad, fruit and a beverage. Kids can design their own lunch pail, complete with shovel and sunglasses, then snack on Yogen Früz frozen yogurt or decorate a Crumbs cupcake.
Of course, shopping is encouraged, with 10% of proceeds from Alice + Olivia and other participating stores benefiting the EB Medical Research Foundation (www.ebkids.org), which funds research and treatment for the debilitating skin disease epidermolysis bullosa.
Shoppers will find Alice + Olivia beach-ready gear, including $154 shorts, $297 jumpsuits, $198 embellished T-shirts and a $330 puff-sleeved "poet" dress that can double as an aprés-beach cover-up. Little girls can try on a $330 froufrou party dress named after Bendet's daughter Eloise. Picnickers can pick up a $505 cashmere blanket for a fancy throw down.
Bendet says that after she saw "kids running around the courtyard" during the opening of the Malibu Lumber Yard, she surmised the open-air mall would make a great place for a picnic. "Picnics remind me of family time, and I want to share that," she says.
3939 Cross Creek Road, Malibu. Noon to 5 p.m. (310) 775-8375. www.aliceandolivia.com
