Tonight at Stephen Talkhouse.. ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BANDS OF ALL TIME!!! Dave Wakeling and The English Beat will be performing at 8pm tonight in Amagansett. I have to say Dave puts on an amazing show and the music brings back some of my fondest memories of the ’80’s. Ok tickets are a little steep at $70 bucks (you can buy online or at the door) but the intimate atmosphere and the great music make it worth it!!! In case you’re unfamiliar with THE BEAT (their UK name) or THE ENGLISH BEAT here’s a little sample of their tunes.

Its a good day for style hounds in the Hamptons… particularly the men. Finally there’s a place to shop for NICE men’s clothing in the Hamptons. Over the past few years we’ve seen Latham House… Mark, Force and Strike… and Brooks Brothers bite the dust. Now, I know there’s tons of Ralph Lauren shops in East Hampton but sometimes I don’t like wearing the same clothes as 95% of the population! But I digress…. designer Emile Lafaurie is now available at SEAN on Main St., Sag Harbor. www.seanstore.com
Brilliant colors and sleek designs are abundant in this chic boutique. Owner Sean Cassidy… and no he was never on The Hardy Boys.. has set up shop across the street from the American Hotel! You might SEAN from some of his other locations in Soho and the Upper West Side or even the Marais in Paris. This clothing is not for geeks!!! Anyway, stop by and say hello to manager Vincent Brandi (see photo) he’s friendly, cute and very helpful!
While driving in the pouring rain yesterday I saw a really wonderful site. A sale sign with “In Contract” on it! Yes the Hamptons market really is back! Ok, there was a slightly more beautiful sight yesterday. I was driving along Brick Kiln Rd. when I saw this truly remarkable rainbow! I know it sounds like I’m about to start talking about Care Bears but look at the picture!! It’s pretty spectacular, right!? I’m a decent photog but know know this picture does no justice to how spectacular this really was.
