**Carolyn Murphy—**iconic all-American dream girl, Estée Lauder face and Shinola design director—is having a pretty idyllic summer, as summers go. (And would you expect any less from a model with no less than 7 Vogue covers to her name?) Here, the golden girl and photographer favorite shares her Montauk memories: from foraging for fresh produce for meals en plein air to sculpting sand turtles and paddleboard racing for the Breast Cancer Research Fund. Whether enjoying “big kid” tree houses or a hay bale-seated banquet in her honor, wearing frothy vintage frocks or “normcore gone green,” the model s photo diary has left us feeling prematurely nostalgic for summer.
More end of August inspiration ahead, in the model s Hamptons diary.
