Style icon Aerin Lauder reveals what it means to live beautifullyExtravagant and fun to be around, Estée Lauder, Aerin's grandmother, loved jewelry and chocolate-covered marshmallows. She adored flowers and rooms full of exuberant patterns. When Aerin was a child, weekend visits with Estée meant ice-cream-and-late-night-TV adventures and spending time together at her grandmother's dressing-room table with its intriguing lipsticks and creams. From an early age, Aerin understood that Estée's passion for family was equal to her love of beauty.Now, Aerin has made this legacy her own. For the first time, she shares memories of the family celebrations and world travel that formed her sense of style. Aerin opens the doors to her New York apartment, where on any given night she might host a relaxed dinner with firends under a vintage French chandelier or, just as often, an impromptu get-together for her sons. Aerin also reveals how she preserved Estée's heritage in her former Hamptons home while adding her own twists. The traditions Aerin has created in her own family--from pool parties with her sons to walks along the beach collecting sea glass to breezy summer lunches--blend elegance and fun in equal measure.Throughout this book, evocative photographs by Simon Upton show Aerin's world in inspiring detail and enhance Aerin's insights into surrounding oneself with beauty and family in every aspect of life.

I really wanted to love this book, but as some of the other reviewers have said, it is rather unoriginal, cliched and oddly content-free. I'm not exactly sure who this book is aimed at, other than anyone really interested in Aerin Lauder, and willing to pay rather a lot for any information about her life. I was hoping for a lot more about design. As another reviewer said, there are so many close ups - the kind that we are all used to now from instagram and blogs - of flowers, of a tablescape, of dishes, etc., that it is very hard to get an idea of how the rooms actually look. Some of the text about how she made her design choices is interesting, but I would like a lot more.
TOO MANY PHOTOS OF CLOSE-UPS LIKE TOYS, CEREAL BOXES, FLOWERS, BOOKS... NOTHING THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN MANY TIMES BEFORE.VERY DISAPPOINTING!
This is a neat and inspiring book. Unfortunately I have seen many of the pictures published in the book, so much is not new. The text is limited. No Colorado home pix either, which I was looking forward to.
As a woman obsessed with blue and white anything, Aerin Lauder's book is my dream come true. After perusing through all of the amazing photos and drooling over each and every one of them, I went back and read every word. This is when I fell completely in love with it. Learning about all that she learned from her grandmother and how her style evolved was so endearing and inspiring. I read the whole book cover to cover in an evening and it is now filled with flagged pages that I want to go back and re-explore. I have a lot of respect for Aerin Lauder and thank her for so sweetly giving us a view into her heritage, aesthetic, and personal living/work spaces.
Very nice reading, with extremely beautiful pictures. Aerin Lauder has an extremely good taste regarding furniture and interior decoration, and she is also a very good storyteller, sharing some valuable thoughts regarding home, family and life. Lastly, the book is very well built, being a beautiful piece of decoration itself! Satisfaction guaranteed!
I loved this book. My favorite part about this book was Aerin's love of family and tradition, especially Estee's house in the Hamptons and all of her things in it. I enjoyed reading about Estee and her habits and likes. I loved this so much that I finished the book wanting to read a biography about Estee Lauder. Aerin seems to be a little bit old-school about a lot of things and I like that about her.Still, I also finished the book thinking, "it's good to be rich." It would be great to have a professional interior designer, a landscape designer, and probably lots of people working for you to maintain such an opulent lifestyle. Also, there is quite a bit of product placement.I read this book cover-to-cover in a couple of days and really enjoyed it.
Love this book! A glimpse into a glamorous, chic lifestyle. Great suggestions on decorating and entertaining, filled with beautiful pictures of Lauders Homes, in the NY city and in the Hamptons...Sweet stories about her famous grandmother, Estee Lauder. Nice, easy read...The book is really a PR tool for her own brand that has launched, Aerin - Love her style, Traditional with a very Modern twist....
Part memoir part style inspiration. While I may not like all her style choices or advice , it offers a solid guide to finding your own style while learning some techniques and tips. It spans generations and incompases lots of different peoples tastes. I like that. Life is not one size fits all and this book recognizes that and inspires you to find your style, not just in a home, but also in life. It encourages you to take chances and dare. Aerin certainly created more than a house decoration book. I highly recommend it!
