Beth's Best Bets: Shopping Southampton Style

Photo by Lisa Wagner/BlogHamptons.com/Splash NewsIf we had to compile a list of our favorite Hamptons residents, Beth Ostrosky Stern would definitely make it in our top five. The wife of satellite radio phenom Howard Stern, Beth is simply the epitome of grace. Aside from her obviously stunning exterior, it's Beth charm, kindness and giving nature that makes this Southampton resident and animal lover a true beauty.

We recently caught up with Beth at the Hamptons Magazine cocktail party at Tommy Hilfiger's new T-Studio in East Hampton. Beth was as gracious as always and agreed to give us a little insight on where she shops for all of those divine clothes we're always snapping her in.

"We live in Southampton, so of course a lot of my favorite stores are right in town. I love Intermix and Ralph Lauren - you just can't go wrong there," said Beth, who is pictured in an flirty & feminine Lauren dress. "And, Calypso has always a favorite of mine, and Norahs. I've been getting so many great bargains at Norahs lately. That's a good one."

Sharon Kerr, owner of Norahs in Southampton, told us she looks forward to Beth's weekend visits to her store, which has been a staple in Southampton for over 16 years. "Beth always has a smile," says Kerr, "she is such a beautiful person, just so sweet, and she really cares about the village and the people in it." As for Mrs. Stern's style, Kerr added, "Beth has a great sense of style. She's picked up a few dresses and tops lately...she definitely knows what looks good on her."

You can pay a visit to Norahs (which is 'Sharon' spelled backwards) at their new location at 76-B Jobs Lane in Southampton. Sharon Kerr describes her boutique as "contemporary with a California vibe," and Beth describes it having great bargains, so it seems like a no brainer! While there, be sure to ask them about their outlet store - up to 60% off, ladies! Norahs fall merchandise is already starting to roll in, so now's the time to snatch up those summer dress deals.

Thank You Daily Show, This Should Help A Lot

After watching this clip from The Daily Show with John Stewart, words literally escape me. The wife beater, the "gun show," the state bird...all of it has left me speechless. These three ridiculous cartoon characters should have to pay compensation to every Long Island resident that not only owns a shirt, but also knows that Staten Island is not a state!!

And I'm sorry guys, but we're not buying the "I was acting" excuse you pitched to the Long Island Press either. The only outdated stereotypes missing from this segment were Joey Buttafuco pants and a John Gotti reference! Nice work.

On Saturday, June 27th, the Ross School in East Hampton held their 1st Annual Pro-Am Tennis Tournament, hosted by legendary tennis player Jim Grabb, the former #1 doubles player in the world. The tournament kicked off at hour we don't usually see a lot of around here - a mind numbing 9 a.m. - when U.S. Rep. Timothy Bishop (D-NY) officiated the ribbon cutting ceremony and formally unveiled the Ross School's spectacular new tennis center. Professional tennis stars Todd Martin and Luke & Murphy Jensen played alongside Congressman Bishop and invited guests on this welcomed, rare day of sunshine. The tournament brought out celebrities like Rod Stewart’s son, Sean Stewart, as well as Kourtney Kardashian’s on-again/off-again boyfriend Scott Disick. After a delicious lunch and a touching tribute by Courtney Ross to her good friend Michael Jackson, Stewart and Murphy Jensen emceed the live auction and worked the crowd for big bids on items like a tennis racquet signed by tennis star Todd Martin, a day on a luxury yacht, and a party for 25 people that included a day of tennis at the new tennis center. By day's end, we had only a minor sunburn and the Pro-Am had raised over $20,000 for Ross School scholarships!


UK's Jack Wills To Hold 'Silent Disco' in Hamptons?

Can you imagine the sea of bodies at AXE Lounge or Lily Pond all wearing wireless headphones and 'swaying and bopping their heads in unison?' Yeah, neither can I. Which is why I can't wait to hear where this photo-op is going to take place!

Check out the latest British Invasion...

As a side note, we had heard a rumor a few weeks ago that Jack Wills was somehow going to be involved with Polo this year. We didn't pay it much mind at the time, but now...curiosity officially piqued!

Stay tuned!

Kelsey Grammer received a rousing, heartfelt round of applause from guests at the 14th Annual Artists Against Abuse benefit gala last weekend. The actor, and part-time Hamptonite, surprised supporters of The Retreat: Domestic Violence Services by donating a walk-on role on his new ABC sitcom, Hank.

The show stars Grammer "in a timely comedy as Hank Pryor, a titan of industry who suddenly finds himself out of work, almost out of money and around a wife and kids for whom he's never made much time. Despite his recent setbacks, however, Hank is confident he's on the road back to the top. He knows he is destined to return to greatness. And he's just not the greatness he imagines."

The Hank walk-on was huge hit, and one of the highest bids of the evening, as was Grammer's second offering, a set visit to the show Medium. Kelsey is executive producer for both shows. In total, Kelsey & Camille Grammer raised an amazing $25,000 for The Retreat!

Molly Sims and Hamptons Magazine celebrated the launch of the T-Studio at Tommy Hilfiger's new East Hampton store this Saturday. Molly was rocking summer chic, in her Hilfiger jeans and sheer blouse, and had a blast creating her own "LOCAL" t-shirt at the store's hot new T-Studio. "It's my ten year anniversary of my house," Molly told us with her signature smile stretched from ear to ear. "I know, it makes me sounds old, but I figured it out and I couldn't believe it’s been 10 years. It seems like yesterday. So, yeah, I made a 'local' t-shirt. I'm so happy to be part of this community."

Molly made her coral 'local' t-shirt at Hilfiger's new T-Studio, a stylized silk screening studio, that sits on the second floor of his East Hampton store, where hand printed and numbered limited-edition t-shirts are created. But the T-Studio is more than just a custom, hipster t-shirt shop - it’s yet another example of Tommy Hilfiger's never-ending philanthropic endeavors. As Molly explained to us, "it's really cool and we're all going to have a lot of fun designing our custom tees here this summer, but we're donating the machine to the Amagansett Applied Arts School. For the next 8 Saturdays, people can come in, get their t-shirts made, unique new designs every week, and then Tommy's donating the whole machine."

Tommy Hilfiger’s giving doesn't end there. He's giving back to you too! Every Saturday between July 4th and Labor Day Weekend, from 3-7pm, the first fifty customers will receive that week’s unique t-shirt for free. Yes, free. Molly said of Hilfiger's charitable ways, "That's Tommy. He's so supportive...always giving. He's a good friend, a great designer and, as we all know, he keeps reinventing the classics."

The t-shirts come in a variety of colors, and will retail exclusively at Tommy Hilfiger East Hampton for $28. The helpful printing staff at T-Studio, who just happen to be students from the Applied Arts School, will be on hand each Saturday to help you create the perfect tee.

Molly, who splits her year between her Southampton home, her SoHo apartment and her Los Angeles digs, couldn't get enough of the whole process so she also created a 'visitor' t-shirt, “just to be fair.” Other guests that enjoyed the T-Studio and the Hamptons Magazine Cocktail Party included Mr. Hamptons Magazine himself, Jason Binn, Beth Ostrosky Stern, Andrew Saffir, John Oates (yes, as in ‘Hall and Oates’), Jill Martin, Kristian Laliberte, Olivia Palermo, Johannes Huebl, Erin Lucas, Matt Levine, Devorah Rose, Gina Glickman, Giuseppe Tuosto, Barry Mullineaux and DJ Sam Siegler, who provided the afternoon beats.

Nicky Hilton returned to East Hampton to host the Absolut Vodka and Perrier-Jouët bash at Lily Pond this weekend. Paris' litle sis arrived with boyfriend David Katzenberg in a tight black dress and danced until the wee hours of the night at her 'Malibu Summer Soiree.' When she wasn't partying at Lily Pond, Miss Nicky Hilton was busy tweeting about her time in the Hamptons. Apparently the heiress was expecting a "Housewife" sighting or two.

We hear Nicky was the ultimate house guest this weekend, opting to stay with friends instead of in a hotel, as the Hilton family compound was rented for the summer.

UPDATE: Page Six has their own version of what went down with Hilton at Lily Pond.
