How would you describe your style? Sophisticated yet playful. Thoughts on the Hamptons and why people are flocking there? People now more than ever are redesigning their lifestyle to include a more inclusive work from home environment, space to entertain, and develop a more all-inclusive lifestyle for the whole family. The Hamptons offers space, outdoor activities, and the close proximity to the city makes the Hamptons a desired work playground.
I have continued to be active in supporting the Covenant House for the Homeless Youth. It has always been my passion to keep the youth safe, sound, and healthy so that continues. God’s Love, We deliver provides nutritious food to the medically ill who cannot provide for themselves especially during this pandemic.

My taste in style is ‘classic’ on and off the golf course: the highest-quality fabrics, solid colors normally, styles that are timeless. Comfortable, versatile, classy. I’m a Brand Ambassador for Movetes.com, luxury golf apparel that looks great both on the course and while having lunch with friends. I wear shoes from royalabartross. com, gorgeous Italian soft leather ... And I compliment all my outfits with pieces from my Dunejewelry.com collaboration, the Hamptons Rope Collection, with sand incorporated in each piece from a special memory at a beach or golf resort.

My style is best described as trendy chic. I like to pick up on-trend items at boutiques in Hamptons villages. I enjoy the many local Hamptons restaurants and order in often, specially from Eatalyathome, my all-time favorite. Art brings everyone together! I am proud that we integrated a City Harvest fundraiser into our 2020 show and our winner was awarded a specialty Clio for contemporary art.

celebrate coastal style in my everyday life, as well as my work. shop local and use local work rooms, plus make sustainably made products. I’m also a volunteer of the village Business Revitalization Committee since it began in October of 2019, because we were seeing so many vacancies, and felt if we could focus on all of the amazing attributes Southampton Village had. It has worked wonders!
