Saturday June 26 
It’s one of those weekends with too many fun Hamptons events.  With the warm weather, the full moon, and the full docket of activities HipHamptons picks out a few favorite Hamptons events for the weekend.

For every woman who says, “Oops, summer is here and I forgot to stop drinking Chardonnay and eating carbs and have to be in a bathing suit this weekend,” there is ice running through her veins, and it’s not just the mocha frappe.  What winter months, Spanx, and strategically placed fleece blankets have kept hidden is emerging in the world and frightening ourselves, our boyfriends, and small children. 

The dreaded muffin top.
While it is the best part of a freshly baked breakfast product, …

When you’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for your summer rental, you’re not going to commute back and forth with a Toyota Corolla you rented at Hertz.  According to a representative at Gotham Dream Cars, New York and Miami-based exotic car rental company, summer is peak season for luxury car rentals in New York City.  The most popular cars?  Ferraris and Lamborghinis, which can cost between $2500 and $5000 for a weekend.  But, in the grand scheme of things, …

he fresh, new face of home design debuts at 83 Main Street in East Hampton.  The hamlet’s historical landmark “Home Sweet Home” may now become “Home Stylish Home.”  If it looks slightly familiar you may recognize HB Home Design from one of its other “only the best addresses” locations in Westport, CT, Greenwich, CT, and Manhattan’s upper east side at 74th and Lexington. 

Something bold and beautiful is in the air, and it’s not just the scent of Melody Parfume roses blooming early this year.  Amateur grillers go boldly forth with lighter fluid and undercooked chicken.  Ex husbands and wives join forces to travel to the Hamptons together so they can take advantage of the HOV lane.  Whole teams from Price Waterhouse debate the magic number for the price of lobster salad.  Farmers markets re-open with the anticipated return of mushroom man, pickle Pete, and …

It’s on our mind all the time.  The thing we fantasize about day and night.  That three letter word which starts with S.  Spa.  We know that other than green tea or perhaps a dirty martini the best antidote to stress is to get to the nearest spa and do something nice for ourselves.  Luckily in these stressful economic times some of our favorite Hamptons spas are offering specials to reduce the cost and the guilt factor.

 
Harborfest in Sag Harbor which runs from Sept. 11 – 13 is a hallowed local tradition which lets you know front and center that you are lucky to be in a maritime village with a rich history. How many times have you walked by historic buildings or cemeteries or heard something about a famous author who lived here. Now is your chance to find out.

The first Labor Day took place in New York in 1883 and was a “workingmen’s holiday.” with a parade to exhibit “the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations.”  For everyone out there who has been busting their butt all summer, now is the time to express your own personal Hamptons esprit de corp and set up your perfect holiday.  We have the best of the weekend laid out here for you to enjoy, no permission slip required.  …

As the Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge at Blue Star Jets Field galloped to its finale, spectators crowded to the rails to see the match where team White Birch emerged victorious after a fierce and pounding hooves and heat battle with an impressive team performance including rising star fifteen year old Santiago Torres who was awarded Most Improved.

You could tell it was male fantasy because of their comments, “gorgeous,” “sexy,” “smokin’ hot.”  You just knew that these men wanted to touch but were keeping a respectful distance.  Yet the headlights and curves they were referring to had everything to do with luxury transportation instead of a woman.  That sort of eye candy was a secondary consideration for these men of means.

Face it – this is the Hamptons, and we’re all about competing to be the best.  This is the last week to enter your 5 karat canine in Tiffany & Co’s Prettiest Dog Contest in East Hampton on Main Street.  Bring your four legged treasure in to have his or her picture taken for the chance to win beautiful Tiffany baubles for both you and your dog.  They are custom designed so you can’t buy them, you have to win.  Customers will …

Here’s the some of the top pix for this weekend’s hip destinations in the Hamptons:

Get healthy.  Do a juice cleanse.  Detox.  Lose the muffin top.  Awsome!  Can I still drink wine?  When the answer was yes, I said “I’m in.”  Blueprint Cleanse, true to its name, is a sort of paint by number process with numbered vegetable and fruit infused juices you can use for a day or six days.  They’re sponsoring a camp in Southampton with nutritional counseling, cooking classes (who knew massaging kale with lemon and salt could make a great salad), yoga, mini …

We’re big fans of Catherine Malendrino who designs for those us with real curves, so add into the shopping experience at her boutique in East Hampton a little sparkling wine courtesy of Voga, DJ Claudius Raphael spinning a groove, rubbing elbows with TV star, Reshma Shetty of USA Network’s Royal Pains which was just shooting in Bridgehampton this week and best yet feeling guilt free as a portion of the evening’s proceeds going to Cancer 101 and …

 
Jill Lynn & Co. celebrates its first birthday.  Bring a card — gold card that is– because you will be tempted by her unique, colorful, and fine hand crafted jewelry.  We say bravo to one of our favorite local artisans.  Jill Lynn Brody speaks of gemstones the way Casanova spoke of his female conquests, each one is precious yet the thrill is in variety.
