Country Home Creative Director Mary Emmerling lived in the Hamptons for more than 30 years and makes a point to go back as much as possible for good friends, great shopping, and "the best tomatoes in the country."
September in the Long Island Hamptons finds the crowds gone, the beaches beautiful, and the air cool and crisp. It's the perfect time to visit the sweet shops and boutiques in the villages that make up East Long Island, New York. "Throw on jeans, a turtleneck, your favorite sweater, and enjoy yourself!" Mary says.
