The Hamptons + Highlights

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I could live in New York City. It’s been such a busy, fun few days in the city. I’d be panicking about leaving if I wasn’t heading out to my aunt and uncle’s house in the Hamptons. I’m so lucky to get to spend time out here every summer with family and friends. Of course, last summer was the best when I lived in the city and scooted out on the train every weekend to Montauk but one weekend will have to do this summer! As always, I won’t be posting on here over the weekend but I will be posting on Instagram (@jillianattaway) and snapchat (@jilliana5590). I’ll be sure to share all the Hamptons highlights! Also, have I mentioned that I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to the Hamptons and one dedicated to New York City!? Sneak a peak.
