Shop 'Til You Drop: Sun, Shop, Save, Savor in the Hamptons
High season is upon us, and with every event you must be asking yourself, what am I going to wear? And where to store all of those new pieces? With new parties happening every weekend, it can be hard to keep up. That’s why Armarium is a great resource for any socialite this summer. Download the app and scroll through the gorgeous styles, select what you like and choose the size. You can even speak with a stylist or book a fitting to make sure everything is perfect. Then the items you’ve selected arrive, and are yours for four days. You can extend the rental period if you need to. After that, just send the dress back! They handle the packaging, the return label, even the dry cleaning. You have a fresh new look and no more cluttered closets. From July 22–31 Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor will be hosting an Armarium pop-up shop, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Baron’s Cove is located at 31 West Water Street in Sag Harbor. Call 844-227-6672 for venue information. Find the Armarium at the app store or at armarium.com.
Fleeps. You’ve heard of them, right? You’ve seen them in the Hamptons. They’re those brightly colored, strappy sandals. Very fashion-forward. The website tells us they’re handmade by women in Costa Rica, and they’re sustainable! 10% of profits go to the FLEEPS Foundation, with a goal of sending 10,000 impoverished girls to school by 2019. But you want to know what they feel like. They feel lighter than a foam flip-flop. The toe strap extends over your four minor toes, rather than your big toe. So the pressure’s off—but the nifty ankle strap ensures that they stay ON. Fleeps are available for purchase at the Surf Lodge in Montauk and from fleeps.com.

Guys, do you need a fun and flattering swimwear option for the season? Look no further than Orlebar Brown. The brand has everything you need to look good for the summer, from resort shorts to polos, but really shines in the swim trunks department. Nautical photographic fabrics make each pair of shorts a work of art. Some are deceptive: From a distance the Fauna Parakeets Swim Short appears to be a stylish pattern of palm fronds, but up close the fabric is actually a photograph of green parakeets. High quality and with a unique tailored fit, they’re a must–have for any beach day. Find Orlebar Brown at 55 Newtown Lane, East Hampton. Call 631-324-3960 or visit orlebarbrown.com for more information.
