I am heading to New York Fashion Week tomorrow, so expect posts about the highlights, shows, my outfits, trends, and other fun details in the next few days. I am excited to be back in the city, but it will be a completely different experience than the one I had last month, when I was vacationing there with my family. Here are some snaps of our late summer fun, out in the Hamptons, with a quick visit downtown (the Freedom Tower above). Have a good weekend and talk to you from the Big Apple!

Heading to the beach.

Cool in the shade--our backyard.

On the bay.

Alfresco dining at Sunset Beach Hotel on Shelter Island. The action starts apres-beach.

Of course, I checked out the hotel's chic boutique.

The breakfast menu. Yum!

Summer love.

Fall is here.
