So I’d heard a lot about Super Saturday in the Hamptons going into it, but I still wasn’t sure what, exactly, to expect.
As it turns out, Super Saturday is paradise. No joke.
I attended on behalf of Dove* – which made me a very lucky lady, because tickets are whooooo pricey – and had a ridiculous, crazypants blast of a day.
Let me explain.
Super Saturday is basically a flea market atmosphere, except that all the tables are stacked with pieces from Splendid, Intermix, DKNY, and DVF. Rachel Zoe handpicks her own boutique table.
There are carnival rides and Nintendo game booths for the kids.
A buffet stocked with the most delicious (basic, but delicious) pasta I’ve had in recent memory.
Desserts.
Amazing things like picnic baskets on sale for a fraction of the price that you would ordinarily pay, and as a bonus it all goes to a charity (The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund).
And a braid bar! (That’s me with ‘Do No. 1, a high ponytail braided to the end and then twisted into a topknot.)
Well, not a braid bar exactly – actually a Dove and DailyCandy Great Style Effect bar offering complimentary styling – but with torrential thunderstorms rolling through every so often and such high humidity that you could almost pet the air, the stylists decided to go to town with gorgeous (and rain-proof) updos and mini-braids like the ones pictured on the lovely lady above.
Isn’t that awesome?! (That’s ‘Do No. 2.) The stylists started with Dove Style+Care Frizz-Free Shine Cream-Serum, then twisted, braided, wrapped and pinned my hair in a beautifully haphazard way, and then finished with Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray.
On me: Sweater c/o Lilly Pulitzer, Sold Denim Lab cutoffs, Kyler Jewelry necklace, Frye Company sandals.
