A Summer Update

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all having a fun and safe summer. I can't believe how long it has been since I last wrote on this blog. I am still writing on jillzarin.com. I will be starting a newsletter soon so if you haven't already, please sign up! I also have an ASK JILL column at Hamptons.com in the Style & Living section.

Summer update: I am packing up to leave The Hamptons as we speak. We had a July 4th party with over 300 people in our home and last week I co hosted a charity event for Help For Orphans in The Hamptons. The other Housewives joined me and we really had a fun and raised money at the same time. What could be better than that?! Now we are heading back to the city to get packed for the second half of our summer. I have a trip to LA planned for a few days and then we are off to a european vacation. We are renovating our apartment right now and it is very stressful for me. I hope when I come back I will be able to sleep in my room! Ally spent the summer in Paris and will be home soon as well. I really missed her and I hope she missed me! She called me every few days and told me she went to Disneyland a few days ago and rode the biggest rides for the first time. She also bicyled throughout the City of Lights and was so proud of herself. I was proud of her too. I think she really grew up this summer but will she still be MY baby?

I want you all to know I still check the blogs and love to hear from you. I designed more TEAM JILL merchandise. I admit, I got a little carried away and have A LOT of great styles. It was so hard to say no. I also made some funny t-shirts with sayings from last season like "We'll talk about it later" and " Cher called and she wants her outfit back". I wore them this summer and so many people stopped me to comment. If you do buy one, please send a picture to my Web site. I want to hear your stories, so keep blogging! Have a great August!
