Southampton - Refresh your senses with a slice of summer you cherish. What a season to remember. It seems like the Fourth of July happened yesterday, when you were dreaming of the colorful carnival of fireworks that awakened your wild side.

With luxury served on a platter, the Hamptons never forget to add a touch of bliss to your evening. From VIP parties, celebrity birthdays and jaw-dropping fashion shows to meaningful rallies, exquisite art shows and beneficial charities that change the way we appreciate the beauty of giving, let us not forget - the presence of mouth-watering lobster rolls that tempt your taste buds every time you return. The crystal clear nights that illuminates the stars as the main showcase. And of course the shopping that compares only to that on Rodeo Drive - Gucci anyone? Last, but not least, the weekend of all weekends, the party of all parties that gives everyone the chance to kiss the Hamptons goodbye with a grandiose celebration - Labor Day Weekend!

Swiss luxury watch pioneers, TAG Heuer, continue to think beyond the watch. The "Odyssey of Pioneers" party and timepiece exhibition event recognizes the 150th anniversary of stellar watch making as well as the dedication and precision of the unmistakable brand. Celebrating the essence of avant-garde thinking, Tag Heuer partnered with Tesla Motors jumpstarting the first world tour in an electric car, called "The Roadster." To remind you, this is not just any car. The sports car is fully electric, supporting energy efficient technology that keeps the earth feeling green. Designed by Tesla Motors exclusively for Tag Heuer, the sports car gives a futuristic glance at making the world a better place.

The stars at the exclusive cocktail party in Amagansett included Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony award-winning actress, Mary Louise Parker, R&B singer Maxwell, "Gossip Girls" star Ed Westwick, supermodel Hilary Rhoda, philanthropist Cornelia Guest and musician Charlie Mars.

The Hamptons Social Series had quite the line-up of parties this year. On Friday, hosts Emma Snowdon-Jones, Malinda Williams, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Sheree Whitfield, BJ Coleman, James Goll, Max Ramirez and Britta Lofgren threw a "No Sugar Added" party to benefit Autisum Speaks and Charity Water. Guests let their fashion hit the dance floor as they listened to the eclectic beats of DJ Airloom and Lee Kalt. The party was more than a success. With a great cause and a fabulous turnout, the hosts of the event and Hamptons Social Series ended the summer with a bang!

Georgica Restaurant and Lounge sure knows how to spread the holiday cheer. Star Vodka, Ferrari, Blue Star Jets and Azimut MarineMax hosted a "Land, Air and Sea" Labor Day weekend kick-off party. The A-list event showcased a sneak peek of the Hunter Dixon Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Guests sipped on cocktails and treated themselves to delectable hors' d'oeuvres as they perused some exclusive collection pieces. Fashion and cocktails are always a fabulous mix especially when talented DJs come out to play. On Sunday, Blue & Cream held the 7th annual "End of the Summer" party at the restaurant with special guest DJs, Samantha Ronson and Jus Ske. Music rocked the house all night long as Hamptonites and partygoers enjoyed the grand finale of an incredible summer.

Shopaholics Announcements: You can never get enough of the Hamptons beach trends. No matter where you are it's always smart to pack a swimsuit. Lu Berry brought her handmade swimsuit line to Lily Pond last week. Models and fashion lovers came together, cheering on the KML dancers who gave a special performance. What's a better way to end the season in style?

Party Lovers: LVIS continues to give back to the public in more ways than one. The Ladies Village Improvement Society of Sag Harbor will be hosting its second annual Harborfest cocktail party and Silent Auction this Saturday! The party kicks off at the Breakwater Yacht Club from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. to benefit their Hanging Flower Baskets and Gardens. Kick back and relax with some tasty treats and drinks this weekend for a great cause. For more information email LVIS1887@aol.com

Star Sightings: Celebrities made sure to grab their last bite to eat before the end of the season. TV personality, Star Jones graced Phillipe with her presence on Tuesday. The star enjoyed a night out with the girls at the East Hampton hotspot, munching on chicken satay and lettuce wraps throughout the evening. Music star and fashion designer, Gwen Stefani and her husband, Gavin Rossdale were spotted grabbing a bite to eat with their children there Tuesday evening.

Food is definitely where the heart is. Celebrity chef, Eric Ripert and his wife crossed paths at Phao Restaurant in Sag Harbor with Bobby Flay and wife Stephanie March. The top chefs both had the same agenda: double dates! The two seemed quite surprised and very happy to run into each other.

"Entourage" star Sasha Grey was spotted with a group of friends enjoying a meal at T-Bar at Savannas. Sitting at a table close by was top event designer, Preston Bailey with some friends.

Renowned event planner, Mark Masone of Flowers by Topaz arranged a breathtaking floral display at the Hamptons Classic over the Labor Day weekend. The beauty of the arrangements delighted Hamptons Magazine guests and was even featured in the Labor Day issue of the publication.

Beth Ostrosky Stern celebrated the holiday weekend at a Social Life magazine cocktail party, celebrating her stunning bikini pose on the cover. Although her husband couldn't make it, Real Housewives of New York, Ramona Singer and her husband Mario were spotted mingling among the guests.

After all is said and done, if you made it out to the Hamptons for summer this year, you're in luck. This summer on the end of the island has topped many that have passed before. The stars, the clubs, the food, the beaches, the fireworks that fall like meteors across the ocean and most of all, the effortless sunshine will always make the Hamptons the ultimate vacation spot that's worth coming back to.
