This year will be my first foray into the dreamworld that is Super Saturday 15, and I really have no idea what to expect. In my dreams of the biggest shopping event of the summer, there will be shirtless men delivering me every Marc Jacobs shoe I desire and throwing stacks of Helmut Lang tops into my arms. In reality, I'll probably be sweating my mascara off while I physically fight to get close to any booth. Regardless, there are some seasoned pros, including Kelly Ripa, Rachel Zoe, and Kerry Pieri, who have have some tips to keep you calm, cool and collected while you get your shop on. More»

Let's face it - no matter how much we expect that every moment of our Hamptons summer outing to be filled with sunny beach days, there unfortunately will always be those days that are cloudy and dare we say it -- stormy. While beach umbrellas are really useful, they will only go so far when rain is involved. Rather than drink to every rain drop that falls from the sky, put on your rain boots and venture out.

Remember when Montauk wasn't written about daily in The New York Times? Yeah, neither do we. There are people that do remember the days prior to the gentrification of the land, when big names such as The Surf Lodge and Ruschmeyer's hadn't even marked their grounds yet.

So grab one of the cheapest beers you can find in a 30 mile radius, settle in at the bar and strike up a conversation with the scruffy fisherman seated next to you. Just don't let it slip that you found out about these 6 bars from a website!! More»

It's really not every day that an invitation to a beach bonfire is extended to you (especially during the months of September through April). But it's almost July, and the desire to build a fire on the beach and ceremoniously drink beers around it can arise every now and then. Rather than showing up in your best club gear, sans alcohol and without any fire making supplies, educate yourself on how to make the most of your evenings on the beach. One last word of advice, choose your bonfire spot carefully, in order to not to attract any uninvited men in uniform. More»

From the Surf Lodge being sold to Montauk Properties LLC, to renovations at the Sloppy Tuna, The Talkhouse, the Blue Parrot, and Banzai Burger, to who is replacing AXE Lounge, to boozy brunches, and pop up shops galore, see what's been happening in the Hamptons after the jump!

With Hurricane Irene on the way, and Virginia's earthquake giving us a little taste of how Mother Nature could potentially kick our asses, we thought, why dwell on the bad when you could just use this as another excuse to PAR-TAY? It's the end of the world as we know it (and yes, we are aware that California is laughing at us East Coast sissies). More»
