There is no better place to spend the summer than the Hamptons. East Hampton is my favorite place in the world. It has the most gorgeous, unspoiled beaches and laid back vibe. If you are planning a trip to the Hamptons, I suggest packing the following:

1. Shay Todd uptown bandeau bikini Netaporter.com
2. Bag ShopRumor.com at a bargain 40.00! (sold out this color way but available in more colors)
3. MICHELE Sunglasses Nordstrom.com
4. Zimmerman frill bandeau bikini Netaporter.com
5. Eugenia Kim wide brim sunhat (this color is sold out, but you can find a black version at intermixonline.com or a similar style at theoutnet.com)
6. Shay Todd hooded terry dress Netaporter.com
7. Steven Alan bungalo floral cotton dress Netaporter.com
8. Tory Burch flip flops in white  Toryburch.com
9. Rachel Comey bra dress available at LaGarconne.com

When I stay I love to go to Babette’s for breakfast. All the food is organic. CittaNuova is great for lunch and for dinner try The Palm or Nick & Toni’s. They are both quite a scene, and you can almost guarantee celeb sightings every night. At Nick & Toni’s, I once sat right next to Dave Matthews and his date and on another night Mr. Big, Chevy Chase, Lindsey Lohan, and Beth and Howard Stern! The list goes on. The food is also amazing which is no surprise considering they grow most of their own vegetables! Try the tartufo for dessert if you can. It usually sells out by 10. For shopping check out Main Street. You’ll find great boutiques like Scoop, Intermix and Tory Burch stocked with beach chic pieces!!
