Hamptons Life With Aerin Lauder Is, Unsurprisingly, Gorgeous

The last time we caught up with Aerin Lauder, the beauty heiress and entrepreneur, she was just launching her lifestyle brand, Aerin. Fast-forward about a year, and what started with a cosmetics collection has expanded — big time. Lauder's casually elegant vibe now extends to shoes, jewelry, home décor, and a forthcoming quintet of fragrances.

Recently, we joined Lauder in the Hamptons, where she gave us a tour of her Southampton concept boutique. The space is small, but it's filled with laid-back yet polished style — exactly what Lauder herself embodies so effortlessly. After a bit of shop talk, we joined Lauder and friends for an afternoon at her country home. Lauder was warm, gracious, kind, and funny — and she is the epitome of refined, good taste. Read on for a photo diary of the day. We'll warn you: It's easy to dream of living in Lauder's world.
