It has been said that to truly enjoy the city of New York, one needs to leave every once in a while and venture out into nature. Aerin Lauder, granddaughter of Estée Lauder, the co-founder of the international cosmetics company, lives out the mantra with regular jaunts to the country, which started when she inherited her grandmother’s home in Wainscott in East Hampton more than a dozen years ago. It’s the perfect getaway not only for the summer, but also for long weekends over the holiday season. While Lauder prepares for another Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends, we take the opportunity to look around her elegant, inviting home.
