Woodland Hills 818-610-1289 andreidumangallery.com

Andrei Duman has visited more than 70 countries to photograph some of the world’s most stunning, remote locations. One of them is this moss-covered lava field in Southern Iceland, captured in Andrei’s photographic print “Green Hills.”

Manya Jewelers

The Village at Westfield Topanga 6320 Topanga Canyon Blvd.

Woodland Hills 818-703-6200

There is such a terrific collection at Manya—from fine jewelry to hip, edgy pieces to one-of-a-kind designs—many of which are created by the couple that owns the boutique. As you can see, I adore rose gold. It lends a certain sophistication to jewelry, whether an elegant diamond ring or a handsome Swiss watch.

Val Surf

4810 Whitsett Ave. Valley Village 818-769-6977 valsurf.com

There is nothing that warms me up like a pair of Uggs. I love coming home and diving into my sweats and Uggs—it automatically puts me in relax mode. I’m drawn to the classic color of this pair, and the wooden buttons give it a fun, sporty vibe.

Bailey Button Triplett in Chestnut (also comes in black); $219 See page 50 for more information.

Stanley Silver

310-871-4208 stanleysilver.com

The Valley-based artist Stanley Silver embodies California lifestyle and culture—from his pieces depicting iconic northern California surf spots (three are on display at San Francisco 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium) to those that capture the passion of athletes. This piece, “Bear Flag Revolt,” showcases Stanley’s unique way of using oil paint to achieve captivating texture and layering.

The more you look, the more you see.

WilliamsSonoma

339 N Beverly Drive Beverly Hills 310-274-9127 williams-sonoma.com

Oaks and Meadows
