Hillary Clinton may be enjoying some time off in Hamptons this month, but on Sunday it was all business for the presidential hopeful.
Clinton attended not one, but two fundraisers on Sunday, starting with a pancake breakfast at the East Hampton home of Susan and Alan Patricoff before heading off to a garden luncheon at Tory Burch's Southampton estate.
The host committee for the luncheon included some major names in the fashion industry, among them Burch, Donna Karan and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Busy day: Hillary Clinton attended two fundraisers in the Hamptons on Sunday (left at the home of Tory Burch, right with hosts Donna Karan, Burch and Anna Wintour)
Family: At her first event of the day, Hillary was joined by daughter Chelsea, son-in-law Marc Mezvinsky and granddaughter Charlotte
Happy family: Chelsea and Marc had to leave the event early to go home and feed Charlotte
Solo: Harvey Weinsten also attended Sunday's breakfast but was not with his wife Georgina Chapman
The first fundraiser, held at the home of Patricoff - who is the founder of Apax Partners, one of the largest private equity and venture capital firms in the world - brought out Chelsea Clinton and her husband Marc Mazvinsky along with their daughter Charlotte.
The event was catered to children, with a petting zoo and even an area for the young ones to sit up front so they could hear Clinton's speech.
Among those in attendance were Harvey Weinstein - though he did not appear to be with his wife Georgina Chapman - US Representative Carolyn Maloney, Alexandra Lebenthal and her husband Jay Diamond, and Jon Patricoff with his wife Victoria.
It did not seem that Bill Clinton was in attendance however, as he was in New Orleans Saturday night at the Katrina 10 Power of Community event to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the tragedy.
Guests: Many in the fashion crowd attended the fundraiser at Burch's home, including Alice & Olivia designer Stacey Bendet with her husband Eric Eisner (left, guests on right)
Legend: Donna Karan was at the event and spotted leaving after in a convertible

Clinton was introduced by the Patricoff at the event, who noted it was the first time Charlotte had been to one of her grandmother's fundraisers, though he then told the crowd she had to leave early with her parents as it was 'feeding time.'
Clinton then spoke to much applause from those in attendance.
'What I want to see for our country is what I want to see for my granddaughter and for each and every one of these children and for all children and grandchildren of our nation, because I think we're at a critical turning point,' Clinton told her supporters.
'And I don't believe that elections that are going to result in leadership decisions should be about personalities, should be about insults, should be about rhetoric, should be about a lot of what we see going on in this campaign.'
She later added; 'We're Americans, we can do anything we set our minds too, and we should start acting like that again.'
Chatting: Chelsea was seen talking with guests at her mother's pancake breakfast fundraiser while Marc held Charlotte

Among the topics Clinton discussed were an increase to the minimum wage, universal pre-Kindergarten for children, and creating jobs in fields such as combating climate change and clean renewable energy.
She also referenced her granddaughter on multiple occasions, at one point joking that the child is so frequently spoken, sung and read to by her family that she expects her first word to be 'Enough!'
After her breakfast, Clinton was off to her next stop - a garden luncheon at the home of Burch.
In addition to her hosts, that event also brought out Alice & Olivia designer Stacey Bendet and her husband Eric Eisner, former reality stay Kelly Bensimon and Clinton's top aide Huma Abedin.
Others spotted included Wintour's longtime partner Shelby Bryan, designer Jill Stuart, and plenty of secret service.
Support team: Tickets for Burch's event reportedly started at $1,000, with $2,700 getting attendees a photo with Clinton (guests above)
Waiting game: Guests wait outside as valets bring cars around after the event at Burch's house was over
Weekend warriors: Two women are seen walking down Burch's driveway after the event had concluded on Sunday
Where to now?: The crowd at Burch's event included both younger and older Clinton supporters
Tickets for that event reportedly started at $1,000, with $2,700 getting attendees a photo with Clinton.
Wintour introduced Clinton, who looked sharp in a well tailored shirt and slacks at both appearances during the day.
Clinton said the big election push will begin for her after Labor Day, with the first Democratic debate set to take place on October 13 in Nevada.
She is currently leading in the polls, though bernie Sanders has gained ground on her over the past few weeks.
