If Barbie hopped in her convertible with Skipper and Midge and cruised east for the Hamptons, this is where they would stay. While this crib might not compare to their Malibu beach house, there's no denying that this pink trimmed, two-story Victorian home complete with matching potted pink flowers and balcony would win them over in a heartbeat. Can you guess where we spotted this real life doll house? More pics below... More»

On Saturday, we were honored to take a private tour of the Atwater Estate in Westhampton, Beach. Len Conway, the owner of the estate, played host on Saturday to A Christie’s First: A Special Sale of Fine and Rare Wines in the Hamptons.

Even though houses on the beach seem to be the most sought after commodity in the Hamptons, this mostly wooden mansion on the canal in Quogue wouldn't have us minding the walk to the beach one bit.

Brown and members of the dance company."

Wass Stevens, the man, the myth, the legend, was spotted at the opening day of Polo in Bridgehampton this weekend. In his pastel stripped suit, white pants, and slick 'do he showed us all how Polo is done- Wass style.  Though he doesn't need a Polo match to create sartorial magic...he's an absolute pro of that on and off the fields.
