IN CELEBRATION OF 50 YEARS, I CELEBRATE A WOMAN’S FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, HER STRENGTH AND INDIVIDUALITY.” Ralph Lauren

The western influences dominated the first half of the show, while the All-American cool was seen in the high-low mix of sequinned skirts and heavily embellished everyday wear paired with a cable-knit jumper for women and tailored tweed jackets worn with dungarees for men. The Polo brand was well represented, as was Ralph Lauren sport, ski and scholar chic.

     The Back Room is one of only two authentic speakeasies that operated during Prohibition and is a timeless example of the underbelly of New York past. The Back Room was also frequented by famous actors of “The Roaring Twenties”, as well as famous gangsters of the era including: Bugsy Siegel, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky.

     “The reason why we chose this space to host our launch event is because the 20’s was also the era of the start of female empowerment. Women began to embrace their independence by cutting their hair in stylish short bobs, voting, and most visually expressing their independence by proudly wearing their chosen cocktail rings every day as a symbol of their strength.”

BookExpo 2018 – Sally Field, Kate Morton & Amber Tamblyn

Sally Field, Kate Morton & Amber Tamblyn.

Award-winning actress and director Sally Field has kept personal journals for decades and always intended to keep her writing private. But when her mother died in 2011 on the actress’s 65th birthday, Field began to write a memoir, In Pieces

It’s no wonder that Kate Morton (The Clockmaker’s Daughter, Atria, Oct.), who travels with aplomb to vastly different time zones between her current London residence and her homeland of Australia, is fascinated by different aspects of time. “There’s something about that transit tunnel,” she says. “It’s quite surreal to step inside one set of airport doors and then in 24 hours emerge on the other side of the world. I never quite get my head around how unbelievable that is. We take it for granted, but that’s pretty amazing.”

Just weeks before the Harvey Weinstein scandal hit and the #MeToo movement went viral, actress, writer, and film director Amber Tamblyn wrote an ardent New York Times editorial about how she was done with not being believed about her own harassment by one of her TV show’s crew members and, earlier, at the age of 16, by one of Hollywood’s superstars. “It was a hugely read piece, and I don’t think any of us expected that to happen. The fact that it was so widely shared and talked about was because many people—women, people in the trans community, other marginalized people—were feeling that same exact thing,” says Tamblyn.

MASTERING THE ART OF CAVIAR

CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF MAGICAL CAVIAR WITH AUDACIOUS LA PRAIRIE.

Rare and sumptuous, caviar has been the ultimate in decadence since the time of the Tsars, evoking an elite world of fine living, nobility and opulence. The epitome of pleasure and tasteful indulgence, the sophisticated luxury is endlessly coveted. In a poetic reflection of its refined status, the delicacy’s luminescent beads glimmer like precious pearls that could never be replaced.

Caviar hails from the mysterious depths of cobalt blue seas. Deep within these pristine waters lies an enchanted place where nature performs miracles. Thirty years ago, La Prairie discovered one of them — caviar is the key to a world of beauty with no temporal limits.

The luxury skincare brand broke the codes of luxury and became the first to use the unparalleled potency of caviar as a privileged indulgence for the skin. Elevating science to an art, in 1987 La Prairie launched its Skin Caviar Collection, a paragon of refinement infused with the restorative powers of caviar, a magical source of rich nutrients.

   Bose noise-masking Sleepbuds. Tiny, wireless earbuds that combine an ultra-comfortable design with soothing sounds to block, cover, and replace the most common noises that interfere with sleep. Bose Sleepbuds are the smallest Bose product ever made, and are packed with proprietary technology. They come with 10 pre-loaded “sleeptracks” that mirror the frequencies of snoring, neighbors, dogs, traffic, and more — hiding them beneath a layer of relaxing audio.

Bose Sleepbuds are the first Bose product to use Bose noise-masking technology. They aren’t active noise cancelling headphones, they’re not in-ear headphones with an added feature, and they don’t stream music — because every last detail was optimized for one thing — better sleep, all night, every night.

Get Wild! Summer Benefit – Presented By The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center

Photos by David Allen

The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons celebrated their 12^thAnnual GET WILD! Summer Gala at Joan and Bernard Carl’s Little Orchard Gardenon Coopers Neck Lane in Southampton. The event honored Jay Schneiderman, Southampton Town Supervisor and Susan McGraw Keber, East Hampton Town Trustee, and welcomed distinguished guests to celebrate the united efforts to rehabilitate animals and successfully release them back into the wild across Long Island.

The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, Eastern Long Island’s only wildlife hospital, is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the rehabilitation of wild animals impacted by encroachment of humans on their habitat. It is a grass roots organization that grew from a few concerned friends to a group of over 3,000 members and supporters. The center is a full-time professional wildlife hospital staffed by licensed rehabilitators, biologists, animal behaviorists and volunteers. Over 300 people have been trained to assist in wildlife rescues. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is located on Munn’s Pond Park through a cooperative licensing agreement with Suffolk County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. The center is situated on a greenbelt of public land parcels totaling several thousand acres and stretches from Tiana Bay to Peconic Bay located on the eastern end of Long Island, NY. This is a unique and irreplaceable ecosystem consisting of salt and fresh water wetlands, Pine Barrens, deciduous forest and meadowland. Thus, it is the perfect setting for a wildlife rehabilitation center. The hospital is designed exclusively for wild animals. Unlike a veterinary hospital, there are no ambient noises or smells to stress the wildlife that are recovering within. The Wildlife Rescue Center receives more than 10,000 calls each year for information or assistance involving wild animal encounters. The center also provides educational programs to local elementary and secondary schools. Students from local colleges participate in cooperative education programs and internships. The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center annual operating budget exceeds $650,000, almost all of which comes from generous donors.    WildlifeRescueCenter.org

In honor of Bastille Day, also known as French National Day, Courvoisier will honor its French heritage with a unique cognac experience at the Lower East Side’s Dirty French that brings to life Courvoisier’s history, quality credentials and grape-to-glass process.   Courvoisier.com

IF YOU DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING, YOU DON’T STAND A CHANCE.

A code makes sure your ascent is guided by something bigger than hunger and ambition.Something bigger than yourself.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR CRAFT AND THE WORLD WILL TOO.

In the early 1800s Courvoisier founders Louis Gallois and Emmanuel Courvoisier had a simple goal: making the world’s best cognac. The medals, accolades and even the recognition from Napoleon Bonaparte himself were simply a product of that.

TO REACH GREAT HEIGHTS YOU NEED DEEP ROOTS.

We were born in the streets of Paris and even though we relocated to Jarnac, a small town in the heart of the Cognac region, we take pride in bringing that Parisian sensibility to every corner of the world.

Morimoto Sushi and Sake Sail on America 2.0

This light dinner sail features a most seaworthy cuisine:  sushi, and not just any sushi, but Iron Chef Morimoto’s sushi! No sushi meal would be complete without sake, and this sail does not disappoint, we offer a range of cool, refreshing sake served on the decks of New York City’s most elegant schooner. The menu includes a sampling of sushi perfect for a one-of-a-kind sunset sail – 9 sushi pieces and 1 roll – served in 2 platings, paired with 4 sake flights, and all while we set sail for the New York Harbor!  Website Here
