How to Shop The Hamptons Like a Pro

My tried and true guide to The Hamptons, featuring all my favorite shopping and beyond! (plus my new outfit formula for Summer dinners) 🛍️

As you all know, The Hamptons is truly my happy place. I’ve been coming here since the 90’s and it is my home away from home.

It’s filled with long Summer days, spent with my most favorite people, the kids are out of school, and we get somewhat of a break from sports. I’m also close to all my East Coast girlfriends, so it really can’t get much better than that.

The Hamptons is one of those places where you kind of just know the good spots or you don’t, and everyone tends to gate keep their favorite hidden gems. However, you all know I’m the queen of anti-gatekeeping so I had to give you all the inside scoop from a seasoned pro 😉 .

Without further ado, here’s you’re shopping guide (+ more to The Hamptons this Summer 🌞

First things first, we’re getting a coffee from The Golden Pear, to fuel our shopping day. My go-to order is an iced oat milk latte, and lets just say their drinks do not disappoint, and their pastries are to die for. My kids are obsessed with their cinnamon roles, but you truly can’t go wrong. They’ll also sell out sometimes, so make sure you’re starting your day early, right when the shops open.

In general, East Hampton shopping always gets busier (and more touristy), as the day goes on, and these women like to SHOP, so if you want the best picks on clothes too, you gotta be getting there early.

After I have my coffee in hand, I’m off to Alison Lou, which just so happens to be right next to The Golden Pear 😉. They have stunning fine jewelry, but I especially love them for their colorful and summery picks. They also have really great pieces for your daughters.
