LAST CLAMBAKE ON THE BEACH

// Sau Lee dress, Vogue Eyewear sunglasses //

Summer 2022 was so beautiful in so many ways. Although I spent most of it in the city working, I had incredible weekends in Montauk. These were some snapshots right before the last clambake on the beach with the Vogue Eyewear team. A night under the stars, making a wish, was exactly how I wanted to end my summer.

NEW SHOOT FOR SOMMER SWIM IN THE HAMPTONS

// Sommer Swim bikinis and sarongs //

My Sommer Swim feature in the Hamptons is out now! I love taking this minimal luxe swimwear out for an All-American weekend out east at The Reform Club Amagansett. The Reform Club is so beautiful and where I shot this story. I’ve spent weekends here and it’s the absolute best. It sits on a residential street so it’s amazing to just hop on one of the hotel’s beach cruisers and explore the little side streets you wouldn’t normally drive through. There are hammocks, a huge lawn to lay across in, and a gorgeous rose garden. It’s just steps from the main area of restaurants and shopping. It’s such a special spot.

With my classic Sommer Swim in the Hamptons, I love to bring an oversized white shirt to toss over my shoulders, a baseball cap, and a cool pair of black goggle sunglasses. It’s fun to give my minimal luxe swimwear a little bit of a preppy style that feels so Hamptons to me. The matching sarongs to my printed suits are also just amazing and the best beach coverup.

My other essential? SPF.

BOTTLE GREEN

This was shot for a new campaign with HOBO, and I am officially in love with this color they’ve created: bottle green. This campaign was all about our favorite day each summer: Summer Fridays. My typical Summer Friday requires a little imagination. It could be home on my couch with a travel book or out in Montauk by the sea. Relaxation is key.

An unforgettable weekend at The Four Seasons Philadelphia

Philadelphia is a city I really know and love. I went to Philadelphia for the first time to shoot the Free People 2009 catalog cover and fell in love with the city back then. I fell in love with the history, architecture, and creativity. My sister also ended up living in Philadelphia for over two years and I visited from NYC every other weekend. I will never forget the music scene and incredible food. After that, I went back to the city for a few times for photoshoots but it’s been years since we’ve had a weekend in town just for pure pleasure. I was so excited that the Four Seasons invited us over to experience this luxurious hotel and all of it’s beauty.  Everything is just done so exquisitely, with close attention to detail. We swam, we relaxed, and we ate…a lot.

Here are my favorite spots to dine at. All are so elegant and romantic. Before you check out, don’t forget to order the classic Philly cheesesteak to room service. It’s a must-have.

Jean-Georges Philadelphia: This is something to get dressed up for. You get the most incredible city views at sunset. Plus, the six-course menu is so beautiful and artistic.

Vernick Fish: I had the most incredible seafood here. Oysters, caviar, and branzino! The atmosphere was relaxed, super cool, yet totally chic. All I can say is that the cocktails are divine and you will want to try everything on the menu. We had the best night here.
