Happy August! After spending last weekend/week sick in bed – I was more than looking forward to this weekend. Aside from a gorgeous wedding Friday night, Adam and I were up bright and early Saturday morning to head to the Hamptons for the first time. Verdict? I finally get what all the fuss is about.
SHOP THE STORY
The occasion was Super Saturday – an outdoor tag sale (aka the ‘Rolls Royce of Yard Sales’) that benefits Ovarian Cancer. My friends at Talbots generously invited me to be their guest and it was just the excuse I needed to finally get out to the eastern end of Long Island. After a day of shopping, sipping champagne and let’s be honest.. sweating, Adam picked me up and we explored Southampton and Sag Harbour. Luckily, I had brought a change of clothes so I could freshen up and slip into this ruffle off the shoulder dress and fresh flower crown from the event (all the better to hide my humidity ridden hair). I love that it looks dressy enough for a dinner date but the jersey knit also makes it insanely comfortable. I added a few very simple accessories (I’m loving this belt over my simply summer dresses) and swept my hair into a low looped ponytail.
From exploring the bayside of Southampton, house hunting in Water Mill and dinner and drinks in Sag Harbour (our favorite of the 3 areas – dinner at Dockside Bar & Grill was A++) – we’re already planning a trip back to see much more of the Hamptons and make it all the way to Montauk. Turns out – everyone who’s been raving about the Hamptons all these years? They were right.
