We like to think of the Hamptons as an escape from the city.  But while we can live without street sounds and even skyscrapers, we have a lot more trouble staying away from shopping.  That's why we're rounding up the latest designers opening up shop out east!  From Missoni's Southampton Home Store to Jack Rogers' East Hampton shoe shop, here are some stops to put on your Memorial Day weekend shopping list!

We've been counting down the days, and Memorial Day weekend is finally almost here. We are gearing up for beachside bashes, roadside ragers, and poolside parties out east. As we do every year, we've put together an official party guide for Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons. Check out where we'll be this weekend!

Every New Yorker knows that summer weather brings with it more than just sunshine - summer in the city also means humidity, sweat, and air pollution that leaves a sticky buildup on your face by the end of the day.

Click through for ten beauty products you'll want to buy this summer.

There's an elephant in the room... and it's pink! Alert the Hampsters! The Patrick Bateman worshiping hedgies are back to reclaim their Hamptons territory! Before closing in 2009 amidst debt and debauchery, Pink Elephant was a favorite Hamptons nightlife spot for the bottle service type crowds, (not to mention a favorite of ours for the vibrant photo ops it provided), and this summer, it's back - scent machines, pink confetti, sparkling champagne, and all! As we confirmed last week, this hotspot will be relocating from its original home at The Capri Hotel in Southampton to the same building as SL East in East Hampton. Does this have something to do with a rising real estate market? Who knows, but to celebrate the news, we've rounded up some of our favorite moments from Pink Elephant's Southampton outpost.   More»

Finally, the Hamptons season is upon us. And there might no better way to celebrate the arrival of summer than at the renowned Georgica for supermodel Jessica White’s Angel Wings Foundation bash on Sunday, May 26th. The evening begins with a reception at 8 p.m. followed by a three-course dinner with cocktails at 9 p.m. The meal will be prepared by Georgica’s outstanding chef Seth Levine; expect dishes generously drizzled with truffle oil and topped by succulent hunks of lobster. The after-party will get going at 11 p.m., with music and dancing into the wee hours. All this revelry is in support of a great cause: Delete Blood Cancer, a non-profit that’s leading the fight to end blood cancer by empowering people to take action, give bone marrow and save lives.

We are happy to report that our friends Matt Kliegman and Carlos Quirarte from The Smile (the quaint restaurant on Bond street that has won over the hearts of many a Nolitan), along with their chef, Melina Marden will be collaborating with executive chef Brian Loiacono over at Ruschmeyer's in Montauk. The previous summers, the restaurant at the hotel, owned and managed by King and Grove was being run by the boys from the Fat Radish. What does this mean for Ruschmeyers? Well besides delivering great eats, Matt and Carlos are responsible for running some of the hottest spots in downtown Manhattan (The Jane Hotel and The Westway), and this summer, it seems they will be taking their loads of followers out East.
