In a city like New York, so inundated with shops and boutiques, finding that special, go-to store that stands out from the crowd can seem almost impossible. But on rare occasions, we come across a shop that is able to set itself apart from all of the competition in NYC, which is exactly what Quinn has done. The clothing brand, which officially launches for fall, has already opened up shop in the LES. Carrying everything from luxurious knits to amazing home goods, Quinn truly embodies what it means to be a contemporary lifestyle brand. We got a chance to chat with design director Bree Telford about the upcoming collection, what she sees for the future of the brand and what it means to be a "Quinn girl."

One can only imagine what it would be like to be the niece of a designer like Oscar de la Renta, but if the photos from this weekend's wedding of his niece Katherine Pingree found all over instagram (#andrewandkatswedding) are any indication, it's a life of glamor and chicness. We are salivating over the Gatsby-esque images from inside this grand wedding, which took place Saturday night at St. Luke's in East Hampton with a reception following at Further Lane Farms where uncle Oscar took the mic and serenaded his niece and the beautiful crowd. Read more about the love story of Katherine Pingree and Andrew Dick here and check out the dress, the venue, scenes from inside the dance floor and more!

In 2008 Surf Lodge, a quaint restaurant with a surf theme opened on Fort Pond with hardly much of a bang. Sure they had a hip chef running the kitchen and a verified Manhattan nightlife crew running the party scene, but the hundreds of cars and frat boys would take a year or two to fully figure out what was brewing in Montauk. Since then, the movement of the hampters (hipsters from Manhattan) and the share house yuppies looking to party in the Hamptons has consistently headed East (Luckily for Lizzie Grubman, Conscious Point isn't even a memory in the minds of current trend-seekers). Keeping on trend, Montauk's nightlife scene will continue to dominate the Hamptons this summer, despite the growing battle between the townsfolk and these summer subversives who will be infiltrating their territory come Memorial Day weekend. But we're not here to take sides, we're here to report. Check out our official guide to Hamptons Nightlife 2013! More»
