Weekly Highlights Out East & in NYC: July 21- July 27
Guild Hall's art sale, Polo Hamptons, and some excellent NYC happenings...
80th Annual Clothesline Art Sale: Saturday, July 25, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Guild Hall, East Hampton. One of the Hamptons’ longest-running art traditions, with past contributors including Jackson Pollock. Proceeds split 50/50 between the artists and Guild Hall.
Polo Hamptons: Saturday, July 25, 4 to 7 p.m., Bridgehampton. This is one of the quintessential Hamptons summer afternoons: polo matches, tailgating, and a crowd that's dressed for it. Tickets have sold out in years past and are not sold at the door.
Limitless Time: The Watermill Center Summer Festival: Saturday, July 25, starting at 6 p.m. at The Watermill Center, Water Mill. This year's festival celebrates founder Robert Wilson, with works staged across the Center's grounds. It's one of the most anticipated art events of the Hamptons season, blending performance, installation, and a grazing dinner.
🌻🌻🌻 I’ve created a resource bank of the recurring events in the Hamptons this summer, here are some highlights this week:
KIDFEST: Story Pirates Live: Wednesday, July 22, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Guild Hall, East Hampton.
Summer outdoor movie series in East Hampton: Wednesday, July 22, Home Alone
Movie Night Wednesdays in Amagansett Square: Wednesday, July 22, Captain America 1st Avenger
Films on the Haywall at Marder’s: Friday, July 24 at 9 p.m.
Little Island Summer Season: July 29 through September 6 at The Amph. This summer's lineup at Little Island's outdoor amphitheater spans music, theater, dance, and opera. Last year's season sold out completely, so don't wait to grab tickets.
Costume Art: On view through January 2027 at The Met. Now that the city's empty for summer, it's the perfect time to finally go see it without the crowds. And don’t forget, Marcel Duchamp at MoMA ends August 22 — get it in now while you can
Hippo Playground Summer Concert Series: Wednesdays through August 26, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Hippo Playground in Riverside Park. A free weekly kids' concert series with a rotating lineup of children's musicians.
Paddington the Musical: Opening Spring 2027. I know, 2027 feels ages away, but London’s most-awarded new musical is finally coming to Broadway. Tickets are on sale now.
Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling: Saturdays, through August 29, 11 a.m. to noon, at the Hans Christian Andersen statue near Conservatory Water in Central Park. Now in its 70th summer, storytellers pair Andersen's own fairy tales with folktales from around the world. A sweet, low-key way to spend a Saturday morning with kids.
I'm fully in my tassel era right now — loving this clutch, this one, and this one. For something with a little more color, this beaded option is gorgeous. But my all-time favorite for summer is still this Mestiza clutch — I get compliments every single time I carry it, and it's such a fun pop of color. Bonus favorite: this Mestiza clutch is also on repeat this season.
My all-time favorite PJ brand, that I've raved about them more than once, just nailed it with this set (tee and matching shorts) for summer. The fabric is butter-soft and the fit is exactly right.
I just listened to this Mel Robbins podcast with Charles Duhigg on habits, and it completely changed how I think about building them. Such a good, motivating listen for habit setting.
I finally found a shampoo/conditioner combo I actually love for my kids. It checks every box: works great, it’s clean, smells amazing, and great packaging. Our new go-to.
My mother-in-law brought this for the kids on her recent visit, and it's hands-down the most mesmerizing toy in the house right now and my kids won't stop fighting over it. It's basically a fidget toy meets kinetic sculpture, and endlessly satisfying.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey finally hit theaters this past Friday, and I could not be more ready, easily one of my most anticipated movies of the summer.
and finally, GREAT kids PJs at 50% off :) (no promo code, discount applied at checkout)
