entertaining with aerin

I never grow tired of glimpses of Aerin Lauder’s Southampton home; the grounds and outdoor living areas are among my favorites, so I was especially excited to see that she recently hosted a poolside luncheon to celebrate the launch of one of her new frangrances, photos of which were captured by Garance Dore.  Like her home and her personal style, she seems to entertain with the same effortless grace and eye for timeless design.  Never one to go over the top, simple reigns supreme to stunning effect in this outdoor soiree, with a clean white color palette, lots of texture and beautiful garden blooms.  This is exactly how entertaining should be – relaxing and oh, so chic!

Here are my picks for getting a similar look:

Rattan chargers / Bamboo flatware / Plate / French wine glasses / Faux hydrangeas

Wicker hurricanes / Raffia table runner / Votive candles / Monogrammed dinner napkins

Happy Monday!
