Right now her husband Cash Warren is filming in China, and Jessica has been hanging out with Rachel Zoe, the celebrity stylist who has worked with the likes of Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie. On the beach the other day, Alba wore a sheer caftan wrap that looked very cute and not frumpy.

For several nights Alba and Zoe had dinner out at Tony’s Taverna, then met up Monday to have some outdoor fun with the adorable toddler, who wore a red and pink romper suit and a big white hat to protect her skin and eyes from the hot sun.

In the year since her daughter was born, Alba has kept her career up and is as busy as ever. In 2009 she has filmed the movies The Killer Inside Me, a murder mystery, and An Invisible Sign, a drama. She is now filming the movie Valentine’s Day with Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Julia Roberts and Ashton Kutcher.

After enjoying Malibu, it was time to head to New York City, where she was spotted having a nice dinner out, sporting blonde hair and wearing a lavender dress with an edgy black leather jacket and black high heels.
