Hollywood Shopping in the Hamptons

The 85th Annual Academy Awards was an amazing showcase of elegant fashions, beautiful people and show-stopping performances. The common theme evoked a sense of “old Hollywood” meets modern day trends. From Best Actress Oscar Winner Jennifer Lawrence, who selected a pale pink Dior Haute Couture princess-like gown, to Best Actress nominee Naomi Watts, who opted for a glittery modern/classic gown designed by Armani, the styles were stunning. Proof that many Hollywood stylists got it right this year! Hamptons icon Steven Spielberg may not have won the Oscar for Best Director for the film Lincoln, but he looked amazing in a classic black tux. Equally as important as the attire one wears to the Academy Awards are the stylistic designs that go into dressing each movie set. Lincoln is a masterpiece of not only film, but also of production design. Every scene brings the audience back in time with genuine authentic décor from the 19th century by including such details as the use of brilliant handmade lace. In fact, the lace table clothes and drapery used in the film are so rare, they are still created using original looms designed by MYB Textiles of Scotland.

Our very own Prince of Scots in Water Mill is the exclusive carrier of MYB Textiles in the United States. So, if you would like to add a bit of Old World charm to your Hamptons home, stop by Prince of Scots and peruse the collection samples—custom drapes and tablecloths can be designed as one-of-a-kind accents that will add that extra wow factor to your home. This unique lifestyle boutique offers a variety of beautiful fashions for men, women and home décor. Prince of Scots, 700 Montauk Hwy., Water Mill, 631-604-1392, princeofscots.com.

Wondering how all those glamorous movie stars look so amazing? I believe it’s a combination of good living, a healthy outlook and, for some, perhaps a simple procedure to enhance their youthful appearance.

Another ritual amongst the Hollywood A-listers involves a great deal of pampering. Although the drive over to the Spa at the Four Seasons or Beverly Wilshire it a bit far, we can drive to The Spa at Gurney’s Inn in Montauk. Gurney’s Spa provides the same amenities and services the stars love to indulge in. This March in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, treat yourself to one of the spa’s many organic green treatments such as Gurney’s famous Seaweed Wrap, refreshing Marine Kur Therapy or Brush and Tone Therapy. Gurney’s Inn, 290 Old Montauk Hwy., Montauk, 631-668-1892, gurneysinn.com.

And finally, the piece de resistance—treat yourself or someone special in your life to a relaxing facial, massage or body treatment at Reverie Spa in East Hampton. Appointments only. Reverie Spa, 84A Park Place, East Hampton, 631-324-4401 or 917-639-8506. Until next year, see you at the Oscars!
