Christie Brinkley may herself have a broken heart lately, but that doesn't mean she's not going to help others mend their own. This Saturday she played host to the 12th Annual Heart of the Hamptons Gala put on by the American Heart Association. Alexa Ray Joel was also there (on left) to show her support.

Last night Tao hosted the Swedish Midsummer's night dream. The whole restaurant was done up, with rose petals littered across the floor and angelic women dressed in white glidding through the rooms. Most of the modeling world, and some of Hollywood came out to share in the drinking and dining.

White Buffalo, the very rare, and sacred animal to Native Americans, is also the name of the singer that took the over the deck stage at The Surf Lodge this last weekend, to serenade the likes of Dylan Lauren.  With over 100 songs already written, and an amazing vocal range, this guy is quite possibly a "legend in the making".  That is to be determined, what's for certain is the hip party crowd he is capable of drawing:

There's a new kid in town...Coach Legacy is opening their doors today in East Hampton.

Can we all get passed the mall rat/Canal street C’s and start supporting the brand that pioneered the use of hardware on our accessories?

One of our great American traditions, aside from self-imposed Slurpee headaches, is prom. Just the whisper of taffeta brushing against a fresh pair of Dyeables gets high school students in the mindset for the most anti-climactic yet quintessential teenage experience. Now, the Wall Street Journal reports that the Brits want a piece of the punch-drenched action. Derided as a "ghastly import" to England's shores, the arrival of American prom is attributed to shows like the O.C. and American Pie, which would mean that our entertainment exports aren't released in Europe until a good five years have past because they're both laughably beyond relevance at this point.

Looks like they've moved on to Cribs for their social cues:

Word on the street is Bill and Hillary have been shacking up at Bill's billionaire homeboy Thomas H. Lee's East Hampton abode. During Bill's White House tenure, the Lee was a frequent guest, and now it seems he's returning the favor. So just who is T.H. Lee?

• A wildly successful investment banker and founder of Thomas H. Lee Capital, which owns or has owned Snapple, Playtex, First Alert, and GNC, among others.
• The first citizen of Massachusetts to bequeath over $20 million to a non-profit institution (to his alma-mater and desperately cash-strapped Harvard). Basically, across the board Lee is a huge donor, be it to universities, hospitals, museums, or charities. Google him and you'll see what I mean.

When you're spending $2K on a table out east, you better make sure you're ready to let loose. In case you need some inspiration this weekend, take some from this guy above. He was CLEARLY getting his money's worth last Saturday at Pink Elephant in Southampton. I want to know is what song was playing in the background during this photo op. Any guesses??? I am leaning towards "Irreplaceable". It would explain the pointing from our friend up front. "You must not know bout me, you must not know bout me." Can you see it? Need even more inspiration?:

Did you, like us, wonder just "Where in the world was Jamie Mulholland?" last summer? Well, he's traded in Dubai for Montauk and we've got the juice!

Cheryl Kuzmawich and Dave Krasnofm seem to think so…

The helicopter-landing equipped newbie has been duking it out with the more established nightspots (Dune, Pink Elephant), and fellow fledgling La Playa.

The summer season's barely begun, and already we've seen a slew of celebrations. As nothing ruins an ACRIA party like a misjudged Marc Jacobs, I decided to assemble a little tip sheet. Just what is the difference between a soirée and a gala, a benefit and a fundraiser? Read on to find out, and to find which will be getting the most usage....

• A "soirée" is a party or gathering held in the evening, and always at least cocktail attire if not black tie. Wear: Fun young talent (Temperley, L'Wren Scott, Rodarte), or well-chosen vintage.

• A "benefit" is a party/performance for a charitable cause, and it's usually held in the evening or night, often on a Sunday. Wear: Understated (but recognizable) elegance.
