There’s nothing more depressing than walking down the main streets of the villages in the Hamptons and seeing store windows empty or lined with paper saying, “See you in the spring!” or worse, “Visit our location in Palm Beach or St. Barths.” In this day and age the most exotic trip for most of us is to the Corner Bar for a masked beer and burger.

Don’t trend on me!  Founder Spencer Antle is the anti-fashionista who doesn’t adhere to following trends but instead remains true to his classical instincts for his successful resort wear line Island Company.   Don’t let the Nantucket-red baseball cap fool you, this casual dude is ruling a growing world-wide fashion line which just landed this season with a flagship boutique in East Hampton at 66 Newtown Lane.

If you ever thought you had a bit of Pollock of DeKooning in you, now is your chance to follow in a long East End tradition of launching great artists.  Kudos to the Parrish Art Museum and the established artists who are participating in Artists Choose Artists where East End emerging artists can apply to be chosen for a program where they will be mentored by and exhibited with some of the Hamptons most accomplished artists.  No nationally televised humiliating public acts required.

It’s not easy to get your boyfriend or husband on his knees – for cat/cow pose that is.  Take it from me – I’ve been practicing yoga for years, and my hubby has yet to step foot inside a yoga studio.  “I’m not flexible!” He protests.  “Yoga is for girls!” I turned to Rodney Yee, famous yoga teacher of Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, for some ideas on how us ladies can get their men to practice yoga with them and …
