BEACHES AND BIRTHDAYS

Somehow over the years, my birthday has extended from just one day to a "birthday week". I feel very grateful to have a wonderful group of friends and family to celebrate with. One of the last stops of my birthday last week was at the Surf Lodge in Montauk, NY. At the tip of the Long Island, this cool hotel has the laid back surfing feel of Southern California combined with the modern, chic of NYC.

The painted blue floors (my fav) and white washed walls in the main entrance feel fresh and inviting. I'd love to steal this color for my walls.

 The inside bar is both rustic and modern with bright colors and high back chairs.

Outside the colorful striped chairs and rattan lights feel modern and beachy all at the same time.

Top all of this off with live music on Saturdays and Sundays and you have my favorite place in the Hamptons. Next stop... Surf Lodge's sister hotel across the water, Ruschmeyers.
