You don't need to be airborne to appreciate the beauty of the Hamptons, although it certainly doesn't hurt. Since I'm going to assume most of us don't have access to a door-less helicopter, thankfully photographer Gray Malin does, and we can let him capture the scene for us. Gray has previously documented the coasts of Europe, Australia and South America, and he finally headed out to the Hamptons this summer to find some pretty sweet beach scenes. More»
You know the old predicament where it's gorgeous beach weather, but you just want to post up at a bar and drink? There's a little secret hidden in Amagansett that solves this age old issue.

Lucky for me, even if my friend is in California, that's not the only place the Shoshanna suit is; You can order it online from Bloomingdale's (and it's on sale!). Ah, the wonders of the internet!

[GofG Hampton's cloudy backyard]
The summer has officially started and we don't want to see any more days like this. The GofG Hamptons crew is still waiting for some sunshine with temperatures in the high digits since it IS June and there is a beach in our backyard in desperate need of some visitors including the likes of Kendra, Carson, Theresa, and Kristin.
