Weekend Routine: “We usually have breakfast on our porch and then hang out by the pool for a bit, or maybe run to the beach. We’re always hosting a bunch of people for dinner, so we always stop at Balsam Farms or Amber Waves on our way home to pick up food.”
Summer Escape: “We’re going on a trip to our cottage in Ireland and then Sardinia. After that, we’re spending a night in Corsica and then flying to Paris for three days. I’m so excited!”
Great Expectations: “I love acting and recently played Ophelia in Hamlet. It’s a pretty tough field to get into, though. I take classes at school and am doing a course this summer, too.”
Mother’s Little Helper: “She brings home prints from her L’Amour collection to ask me if I’d buy them. I give her feedback about how to make them even more wearable.”
Parental Perks: “I got to see my mom film an episode of Project Runway, which was really cool. Oh, and when we went to the White House we got a private tour and they gave us chocolate-chip cookies in the kitchen. Not everyone gets those!”
Snack Attack: “I’m really into La Fondita in Amagansett.”
