I'm totally day dreaming of all of my favorite places to take a little trip to this summer. So many places come to mind for a great long weekend summer trip. I thought I would start with the Hamptons. I have only been there a handful of times but love it. It is a really a big spot on the east end of Long Island and there is so much to enjoy!
When I think about packing for a long weekend, I pick pieces that can be mixed and matched, as well as transition from day to night. This can also leave room in your suitcase for a little shopping :)
Long Weekend Packing Guide: The Hamptons
Hamptons Sweater | White Dress | Sunhat
Linen Shorts | Pearl Handbang | Bow Slides*
Sunglasses | Swim Top + Bottom | Espadrilles | Tennis Dress
*use code SARAHFLINT-BALIBBYM for $50 off the sandals!
Since there is really so much to do and see in the Hamptons, tailoring your packing list to your activities is very helpful. For this packing guide here are the activities I was thinking of: going to the beach, shopping around town, coffee runs, hitting a winery, dinners and a sunset cruise.
Beach: Swim Top + Bottom + Sunhat-- I would also throw in an oversized button up as a cover up and/or wear the Linen Shorts. Montauk, East Hampton and South Hampton have great beaches! Also the drive to the beaches is fun because of all the gorgeous real estate to look at.
Bopping around town: You could really wear any of the outfits for this. I was thinking either the White Dress or the Tennis Dress with the Bow Slides. There is such amazing shopping in any town but I think East Hampton and Sag Harbor are my favorites?! Its hard to know because there's always new and amazing pop up shops each summer. This is a good time to pick up some fun pieces to also wear on the trip ahah.
Coffee runs: Tennis Dress-- an easy throw on and go while still looking chic while you run to Jack's or the Golden Pear for coffee.
Winery Hopping: White Dress + Espadrilles -- There are only a few wineries in the Hamptons. Most of the Long Island wineries are on the North Fork of Long Island (Hamptons are on the South Fork). But it just so happens that my favorite one is in the Hamptons: Wolffer Estate. I suggest a reservation for their deck and a big bottle of rosé to share. My other favorite Hamptons winery is Channing Daughters. (If you are on the North Fork, a stop at Sparkling Pointe is a MUST.)
Dinners: I suggest wearing a something you picked up while shopping or the white dress + espadrilles combo. There are so many places to eat that it is hard to give recs but I always love dining with a water/beach view.
Sunset Cruise: Hamptons Sweater + Linen Shorts --It usually gets chilly on the water at night so I always bring a sweater. You could also swap out the shorts for white pants if its a particularly chilly night.
As always,
