Stylish Hamptonites are spotted everyday; on the streets of Southampton, by the beaches in Montauk and in Sag Harbor restaurants. But how often is it that you can get an intimate peek inside the homes of these Hamptons trendsetters?

Kelly Bensimon: Q: How does your style differ when living in the Hamptons vs. the city? A: Whether I'm in black tie or workout shorts, I maintain an easiness with style. Loose beach waves, minimal makeup, well-manicured feet and hands, simple dresses, and tasteful shoes. I dress for my lifestyle: ready to do and go anywhere anytime.
