Zitat des Tages von Aerin Lauder:
My grandmother had a lilac bush at her home in Long Island. I always associate the scent of it with her and try to have lilacs in my home.
You could say that I am the Estee Lauder woman. I'm a working mother; time is valuable to me. I want a good product; I want quality.
You can't be a major company today without paying attention to celebrities. They are the leaders in beauty and fashion.
I love Pilates, I really do, and I do it three times a week because it works well for me.
When my boys were little, I'd throw so many toys at them, but they didn't want to play with any. Then I'd give them a truck, and they would play for hours. I believe the same thing applies to a consumer - edit their choices, and they will be more intrigued.
In terms of pots and pans, I just use the basics - I'm not a snob like that.
There are certain parts of the home that I think embellishment feels cozy and inviting. Then there are other environments, for example, the living room, where I don't have a ton of items on the table.
The biggest beauty myth is that everyone looks better without makeup. That's not true. Makeup is important.
As a girl, my favorite toy was my dollhouse; if I could still play with it now, I would!
My mother taught me that it is important to be prepared for a last-minute polish.
I love going to museums, especially the Met, because there's always room for discovery, or the Neue Galerie. It's a great jewel box.
I have a lot of passion. I have a lot of pride. I think I do get that from my family. But you can be driven and be nice.
I have a lot of staples in my wardrobe. I love to pair a silk or lace blouse with a fitted black pant. This combination feels effortless yet put together.
I've always loved flowers, as a little girl I'd collect flower objects and little flower books. Now I love flowers on my night table and on my desk.
Do I believe in plastic surgery? Yes, if something is wrong and you can modify it. For certain people, it's right.
When we moved to Europe when I was a teenager, I really did not want to go. I was happy in my school, with my friends, but looking back on it, it was the best experience I've ever had. We traveled every weekend. I experienced incredible new cultures, museums, cities, and it really opened up my eyes.
I have a dual role as founder of AERIN and Image and Style Director of Estee Lauder. So work is a bit of a juggling act.
I love cereals. We must have 10 to 15 boxes. But if I'm being honest, I have Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms hidden behind the healthier ones.
I love market research because you really have an idea of what your consumers are looking for.
I am such a bath girl: we've gone to some of the beautiful hotels in the world, and if there's a shower, I'm so disappointed.
I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet.
Sunday is about relaxing and wearing anything comfortable. I love wearing a J. Crew shirt and jeans, which is a treat because I never wear these kinds of clothes during the week.
I like to entertain at home, to live beautifully but comfortably.
I've always been inspired by beautiful interiors.
Looking feminine is important to me. My personal style is fairly traditional. I was definitely influenced by my mother, who always looks elegant, and by Estee's classic style; she was always in Givenchy or Ungaro.
I'm never without my personalised Anya Hindmarch diary - I keep my schedule online, too, but my diary is always in my bag. It's crammed Post-its.
People always associated me with 'Vogue,' 'Vogue Living,' or 'Elle Decor.'
I think every woman should be using a foundation, whether it's liquid or compact.
I inherited my love of gold jewellery from my grandmother.
I used to be a shopper before I had children. I'd go to Bergdorf and Barneys all the time. But now my weekends are spent differently. I go to the skating rink or the park, not the stores.
I'm very detail-oriented, which is good and bad. Because I will wake up in the middle of the night thinking about something or seeing a mistake, thinking about it, and I immediately send an email - I'm very focused on details.
I love laugh lines. It means you've had a good life. The most beautiful women - Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Hutton, Ali MacGraw - all embraced the aging process.
My day typically starts with an early-morning walk through Central Park. It's a nice moment of calm before my routine starts.
