With the Independence Day weekend just ahead, I'm headed for the beach! The Hamptons beckon, with a slew of new seasonal stores in the main shopping districts in Southampton, East Hampton and Montauk. So here's where you'll find me and other faithful shoppers through Labor Day:

Of course, there's a lot more to see and shop. Just take a break from the beach (wear sunblock) and stroll the main streets in whatever town you're visiting to celebrate summer.
Happy 4th and Happy Shopping!
