Here is a photo of Sean Bellhaus and his staff at his new store in Wainscott appropriately named, Bellaus. If your looking for some serious shopping, this is a place to go. Sean is offering a concierge service for customers who want to be picked up at thier homes and taken to the store. He is also offering those lovely “Sex and The City” Manolo Blahnik’s, one of the only places in the Hamptons that you can get them!

That’s right, this weekend head down to the Hamptons Home and Garden Show to get some great ideas for your home this weekend. This relatively new event has grown in size and slendor faster then we have ever seen an event grow. It is amazing, the tent set up for this weekend is going to have every little thing your heart desires for a home, including green technology, golf course installation and the ever popular wine cellar.

Only in the Hamptons could Kmart be so chic. In the last 48 hours Peter Cook and his new flame were spotted there, as was Kelsey Grammar and his wife Camille! While the Cook crew was eyeing and buying sheets, it looked like Kelsey and Cam were invading the food section. Attention Hamptons Shoppers.
We wonder if Jerry Seinfeld hits the Big K too — after-all, if you’re voted the “Best Party House in the Hamptons” by OK! magazine, we assume you’d need to stock up on chips, dips and whatever else Kmart sells (um, some of us still prefer Citarella).

Sure it’s smack-dab in the middle of the week, but that doesn’t mean there’s not enough to do on The Fourth of July this year!
Start by grabbing yourself at new bikini at Lu-Berry in Watermill. Her one of a kind suits are as sexy as the Columbian owner herself. If you’re not feeling bikini-ready, buy yourself one of her $20 cuff bracelets. Tres chic!
Or better yet, get your you-know-what over to Soul-Cycle, where Carey Lowell, Richard Gere’s wife, was working out this morning!
Dinner reservations won’t be pretty, so have a big lunch at Bay Burger, which is getting amazing applause from the boys at The Beach.
Don’t forget to pick your kids up at The Ross School Camp, which opened its doors to the luckiest kids ever this week.
End the night with a bang in Montauk. 9pm. You bring the wine, I’ll bring the cherries. Where else would you want to be!

Here at the beach, everyone likes to name-drop Donna Karen.
Page Six is reporting that Karen stole the show with Karaoke at Almondito this week. Her friends Marci Klein, Kelli Klein and Ross Bleckner cheered her on.
But it doesn’t stop with her lungs. There’s a new “waxer” in town, famous for being Donna’s esthetician. She’s located at Nail Parlor (631 329 7868) in East Hampton, right next to Zonehampton.
Speaking of Zonehampton, Marion is opening a whole new universe of fitness classes this week. I hear there’s a boot camp on the beach that will turn all of us into Giselle. Or at least Giselle’s less-hot sister. Stay tuned for information on the new classes/instructor list which has work-out-aholics like me… totally pumped.

Someone from our Classifieds department just dropped the bomb that David Beckham is down the street at Privet Cove buying $10,000 in new furniture! More to come….I’m literally running over there this second to get the scoop. While putting on eye-liner. And changing outfits. I’ll update you in an hour or so!

While certain groups of friends (ahem) prefer talking about undressing in the Hamptons - according to Jeff Slonim, there’s a handful of beach fashionistas, who enjoy discussing how to dress out East, from dunes to dinners.
Let’s pretend Jeff asked me.
“Comfort is the only way to look cool during the day. The more broken-in the t-shirt, the better your life with be. Soft, uncomplicated bottoms like cashmere sweats, army shorts, leggings and cotton skirts will complete your wardrobe. As much as I love perfect-fitting jeans, even denim feels too fussy.
Give yourself a chance to feel sexier at night. Heels are pushing it. I like to go with cotton dresses that fall off the shoulder. Or, vintage pieces that are loose but dangerously short. Tight is tacky, so unless you hate your legs, so reveal your inner-party girl by taking your favorite things up a few inches.”
God I love interviewing myself.

My cell and blackberry are blowin’ up.
Everyone is hyped for Memorial weekend. Everyone wants me, the “in the know” beach blogger, to coordinate plans. Everyone has forgotten that I’m the notorious flake who forgets to show up for first dates and dinner parties with the President.
Whatever. I can pretend to be organized. At least for like, 2 days. Here’s what I’ve cooked up so far:
1. Take everyone to Bamboo on Thursday night for free sushi and saketinis. It will probably be crazy crowded but most of my girlfriends are crazy skinny. Everyone adores this place — it’s first on the list by popular demand.
2. Spend Friday morning eating ** new food addiction alert ** sunflower-seed bagels from Schmidt’s in Southampton. I like mine with melted Swiss. Hit up Calypso, Cynthia Rowley and, sigh, Saks, for some dangerously short, 60’s inspired mini-dresses. Love me or leave me, honey.
3. Friday night is dinner at Almond. Awesome — because someone else made the reservation. And for some reason, I fall in love with a new banker-turned-beach-bum each time I’m there. Cheers to that!
4. Saturday is all about easy, breezy Montauk. Drinks at our friend’s dream-house. Dinner at Harvest. After-party on the beach. And whatever else the East end air has in mind.
5. Sunday is Sister Day. My 27-year old sis, Rachel, will be kicking around all weekend, rotating between me and her new handsome beau in Amaganssett. We’ll ride bikes, make picnics, take naps and clear our minds. Nothing like sisterly bonding in the countryside.
That’s all I got for now. A busy but effortless schedule. Not too shabby for a commitment-phoebe!

I really thought that I had seen it all when it comes to nightlife out in the Hamptons. From Bongo bashing men at Cain to half naked girls at Resort. But a new twist to the nightclub scene is being added this summer. For all you ladies out there who end up with sore feet by the end of the night from dancing too hard, a solution is at hand. Todd Shapiro is taking over the former CPI nightclub in Hampton Bays and will offer a shoe boutique inside the new club for girls looking for a new pair of dancing shoes. The club has been renamed to Whitehouse and will have Vic Latino spinning the tables on three dance floors, doing his best to help break in all of the new kicks.
I don’t know how I feel about this. A pick up line in Hampton Bays might forever be changed from, “Can I buy you a drink?” to, “Can I buy you a new pair of sandals?”

Life is unfair. Since I’m kind-of a somebody, Intermix sent me a $50 gift card as a sign of respect. Fine, I’m kind-of a nobody, and Intermix sends this thing to any chick that’s ever blown her paycheck on Pucci. Either way, it was my pleasure to cash in. So I popped into Intermix on Main St, Southampton, hoping to score some bejeweled sandals or chunky necklace with a cherry on it, and to my dismay, half the store was sealed off! What the….?! I mean, if I’m going to be living in the Hamptons all summer, I need to shop the part. The salesgirl said they were hiding all the good stuff till the season properly begun. She hinted that random, lowly, early-May shoppers - like me- would have to suffer. Or go to Saks. Anyway, I took my gift card into the city where I bought a $300 ripped, stained, Salvation Army-esque t-shirt in the Soho location . Because it was soft. And that’s how I roll.
