    Hoops for Hope has helped over 10,000 young children around the ages of 6-16 in underserved areas in Zimbabwe and South Africa to improve important life skills like learning about health and diseases, gender equality, happiness, and education in order to better themselves and the community. 

    Our job is to remind young people that we can still have a better tomorrow even though things are not so good today,” Ngoni Mukukula, Hoops for Hope director said in a video on their website.

    R09M Launches E-Commerce for In-House Collection

    The beginning of August was big for R09M — pronounced “Room 9” — the in-house capsule collection from the namesake boutique located at Haven Montauk, as they unveil its first foray into e-commerce, just in time for the dog days of summer.

    The capsule collection was conceptualized around the surfing heritage of Montauk and its environs, created to compliment the boutique’s assortment of luxe, emerging brands and established designers currently on offer.


    Alongside an assortment of luxury goods from buzzy emerging and established men’s and womenswear brands, a curated selection of vintage, and other East End essentials, R09M’s own collection has been a best-seller for summer 2017, client demand prompting the founders to take the plunge into e-commerce.

    Consisting of a limited production run of too cozy hoodies, sweatpants, tees, hats, and a custom-created candle, the R09M collection is designed and curated by Palmiers du Mal Creative Director Shane Fonner, who plans to expand the assortment to include a fully fleshed-out cut and sew collection for next summer and beyond. The current assortment focuses on Montauk’s vintage and retro feel, and provides the necessary pieces for the ever-changing East End weather.

    R09M’s summer 2017 selection offers Montauk-exclusive pieces from BLACKSEA, Palmiers du Mal, Aime Leon Dore, Alix, Rescue Skin, Rochambeau, Crash Baggage, Yestadt Millinery, and Hasta Sporting, in addition to a series of pop-ups and trunk shows, and an exclusive beach blanket from neighboring men’s brand Adam Mar. The shop also features a selection of designer vintage goods from Form Vintage.

    “Travel has been an integral part of both my and Jane’s design process for Palmiers du Mal and BLACKSEA, so we couldn’t be more excited for our first retail concept to be in partnership with a hotel, especially one that is as laid back and effortlessly cool as Haven,” says Shane Fonner about the R09M’s opening.

    “Plus, I’ve been coming to Montauk for years, and it holds a really special place for me. I’d love to spend even more time, and perhaps set up a creative studio here to capitalize on the inspiration all around,” she added.

    R09M is proud to launch as a partnership between friends, so let the good vibes flow all summer long.

    The limited-run assortment now makes its online debut, shop-able from anywhere in the continental U.S. and in preparation for further expansion for coming summer seasons. Click here to shop.

    Fly To The Hampton’s With UberCHOPPER

    Going to the Hampton’s by car is madness, especially if it’s Independence Day weekend. Uber, the app that connects users to a driver at the tap of a button, has the solution: UberCHOPPER! Their plan is simple — “Skip the traffic out east and kick off the long weekend in the skies.” Using helicopters provided by BLADE, the app will arrange trips from Manhattan to the Hampton’s and back, and enables users either to grab a single seat, or launch their own crowd-sourced flight.

    When your trip is booked, a private driver will pick you and your party up at the requested time and drop you at the helipad. When you land in East Hampton, another driver will be waiting to bring you to your final destination. If flying is not your style, Uber has it covered, just book one of their normal cabs for a fixed price.

    This is a convenient, clever, and simple way to start a relaxing and fun weekend. The service will be available for the entire summer, and will gradually expand not only to the Hampton’s, but also to Montauk and Sandy Hook down to Cape May. What are you waiting for, grab a seat! We’ll see you in the Hampton’s.
