KDHampton catches up with our former intern, Marie Goldstein, who now has her own popular  blog, ThePreppyMAG, to see how she’s “PREP”-ing for Memorial Day Weekend in the Hamptons. Marie shares, “The kickoff of summer is almost here and I could not be more excited! This is the weekend that sets the tone for the rest of the summer. The weekend that you prep your closet for the next three months of adventure. Let’s talk about your wardrobe. I’ve learned the hard way, don’t over pack if your coming out just for the weekend. Pack what you need and fill the rest of your weekender with basics you can leave behind at your summer house to lighten the load in weeks to come.” Check out Marie’s Hamptons love list to breeze through the weekend in style, below…

“You always think you’ll need more outfits than you actually need. In reality, all you need is a bathing suit and a cover-up. You can pretty much go anywhere in the Hamptons wearing that. Also, be sure to leave some extra space in your bag. All of the stores are packed with their summer best in anticipation of all the weekend shoppers. Roberta Roller Rabbit, Ralph Lauren, Garnet Hill and Intermix all have so many pieces to covet.”
