Why Bellhaus Is A Belle House

Riddle me this, what is Bellhaus? If you drive by it at night and take a glance, this new store could be an art exhibit: a building whose glass front reveals softly yet perfectly back-lit shelves filled with the hottest shoes and fabbest handbags. Racks of haute couture loom around a few staple pieces of furniture – all for sale. And beauty, there’s beauty (as in skincare) and scented candles. The settings are so gorgeous you almost don’t want t disturb them by buying anything. Almost. More »

Eavesdropping Is What Guests Do Best

- Southamptoners can finally hang their Millys out to dry!
- Another farm stand to fall? Come on, people; farm stands are an essential part of pampered bucolicism.
- The life-sized cop car that welcomes motorists to Southampton will sometimes be blocked by the real thing. Transportation director Mr. Neely calls the ploy “guerilla tactics.” How friendly.
- Dog lovers rejoice: the East Northport woman who owned 56 canines (and two parrots) is agreeing to put most of them up for adoption.
- Bombs over Babylon? We really hope this is just a prank.
- The rich do take out the trash; they just don’t know where to put it.

Love Is EVERYWHERE, If You Are OPEN To It!
Didn’t get any love from a shorty at the Talkhouse? Someone didn’t try to grind on you at Dune? No one cozied up to you at La Playa? NO problem. If opportunities for love or even a french style kiss fell short last weekend, rest assured the weekend is NOT officially over until you throw your bag down on your apartment floor. There are, after all, opportunities on the trip home. Or the trip there for that matter. A few weeks ago before the Summer ‘08 season even began a handsome “married” gent sat next to me on the Hampton Jitney going out east.

Tell me what you guys think of this one. Part of me thinks the ruffling is pretty and interesting, and that the $175 price tag and shopbop endorsement signifies classy eccentricity, like Ruth Vered’s eyeglasses. The other, larger part of me is getting a distinct wiff of Alpha Phi’s Annual Cool Whip Leid Luau. Which part of me is right?

Something Rotten In The State Of New York

DWI’s, coke binges, rat torture, (possible) facebook plunder, and now burglary! Is is something in the water? Three teenage boys went on a Fire Island raid Tuesday, during which they managed to deprive Michael Kors of his flat screen and Tim Steele of a painting. Unfortunately for our little rascals, these items are somewhat conspicuous, and the police hunt was a short one. According to Newsday, the boys “did not know whose homes they were targeting.” If they had, they would at least have spared their favorite golden Project Runway judge.

Jake Lear Brings His Blues To The Talkhouse

Those of you hankering for some rough-hewn, folky blues are in luck: Jake Lear is playing at the Talkhouse tonight. Though Lear is but a youg’un, he plays his guitar like an established veteran –think Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jeff Tweedy. His voice ain’t shabby either, gravely and wistful a la Dylan, if somewhat less reedy. He’s got a tight band with an excellent drummer and a harmonica player, so we’re not surprised about the stellar concert reviews he’s garnered. Click here to sample his goods. Tickets are only $10, so get them while you can!

Nantucket, Brought To You By Kerry Cassidy

Monday was memorial day, one of those holidays for which I’m not exactly sure what we are celebrating (I just learned cinqo de mayo does not mean tequila day), but I’m all for supporting/remembering our troups (hay hay USA). Memorial day also means everyone has work off and can attend/throw fabulous BBQs. Not only did I get to indulge in some sloppy BBQ’d food without spilling it on my white pants (that’s right ladies, Mem day is also the official day to break out those babies), but I was lucky enough to enjoy laughs with friends and family on Nantucket.
