Ippolita is known for slender gold bangles—unadorned or with semiprecious stones—that stars including Jessica Alba, Minnie Driver and Kate Hudson love to stack on their wrists. “I like the bangle because it’s not an occasional jewel,” says Ippolita Rostagno, who hails from Florence, Italy. “You can put a bangle on and never take it off.” After using only gold for nine years, Ippolita has now added resin and silver to her collection.

Jessica alba5_400x400Newlyweds Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are enjoying their new two-story, eco-friendly L.A. canyon home. “The energy here is so inviting—it is open and playful,” says Alba. “Everywhere you look, inside and out, you get to see a part of nature.” The actress worked closely with interior decorator and eco-design enthusiast Kari Whitman to create her ideal home. Some of the furniture is used—like the vintage light fixtures and a desk chair that once belonged to film director Cecil B. DeMille—and the pool is filled with chlorine-free saltwater. “It’s all about working with existing things,” says Whitman. “Jessica really got into it and would e-mail me things she found on Craig’s List.”
WHY THEY LOVE IT It’s perfect for Warren and Alba’s three dogs and new daughter Honor-Marie. “It’s kid-friendly, animal-friendly. You can jump on the sofas, walk around barefoot. There’s nothing off-limits here,” says Alba.
