Story Time at Madoo

If you’ve been following the fashion world on social media, chances are TOCCIN has already caught your eye. The label founded by husband-and-wife duo Alex and Michael Toccin has built a devoted following online and an even more devoted one in real life, with women who don’t just love the clothes but come back for them season after season. This summer, they made it official in the Hamptons with the opening of their first freestanding store at 44 Main Street in Southampton, and it is everything you’d expect from a brand built on genuine personal connection.

What started as a personal idea rooted in love and connection has evolved into a refined jewelry brand that blends meaning with timeless design. Founded by Melanie Bronfman, Stella James was created to offer something more than traditional fine jewelry with pieces that feel personal and meaningful while maintaining an elevated aesthetic meant to be worn every day.

If you only have 12 hours in Montauk, here’s exactly where I’d take you. Start the morning at Marram with a coffee and a pastry. Contrary to popular belief, Marram isn’t just a beachside hotel — it’s also one of my favorite spots for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon drink. I love grabbing a quick bite, sipping my coffee, and watching the morning surf lessons. If I need to answer emails or get a little work done, it’s one of the best places in Montauk to open up my laptop.
