hamptons stripes

A mild afternoon in the Hamptons. Took a trip out east with the gang last weekend to escape the city swelter and ended up in Montauk.  It was the last hoorah despite it being seemingly tame, a much-needed distraction to celebrate the bittersweet end to summer.  We spent the weekend binging on copious amounts of seafood with plenty of drink, while reminiscing and soaking in every ounce of relaxation possible.

There's a lot on my plate in the weeks to come, especially taming the beast known as fashion month so I'm trying to organize life the only way I know -- getting hyper-organized with every aspect and only leaving room for the essentials.  That's also exactly how I've been packing for my last couple of trips.  Basic essentials only-- in this case, Hamptons-worthy stripes, high-waisted denim, and booties made the list.
