DWD: AERIN LAUDER'S ASPEN HOME.

Girlfriend's got it made in the shade, quite literally, in the ubiquitous terrain of Aspen's mountain-peaked skicountry.  Yes, good style is quite easy to come by when you're the heiress to the Estee Lauder throne (which started in a measly garage, I might add), but I'm so taken with the deliberate simplicity of the design (as any view-oriented interior should boast), that I kind of want to believe she's pretty cool...and down to earth? Anyway, Daniel Romualdez nailed the design: simple, refined rustic with a dose of casual, kid-friendly luxury (as I would call it).

...Perhaps I could be her nanny?
...Pretty please? I'll even cook for you. For free.

DIG-WORTHY DESIGN:

LAUREN SANTO DOMINGO.

She may be one of the most revered style authorities in today's fashion realm, but this girl sure knows how to leave her iconic mark on an interior. Check out her well dressed (and highly coveted) NYC digs:

 I'm mildly obsessed with that luxe velvet sofa.  I'm a sucker for dark, masculine hues, not to 

mention graphic patterns, so this--to me--is perfection.

 Gold. Leather. And high-gloss wood veneer. And check out that hot pink stump in the background! Smoking may be faux-pas these days, but who even cares: cigarettes and matches look mighty chic (so Don Draper) laid out on the coffee table.

 Classic David Hicks wallpaper, extra-large gingham pillows on a diagonal, punched up by Warhol originals.

 A Lalanne hippo by day; a full bar by night. Assuredly there are zero dull conversations happening in this room.

 A rainbow-hued collection of bottles perfectly perched atop stunning burled wood.

And, LSDs guest room--turned closet--turned office. So Marie Antoinette.

Those are the select images I'm swooning over.

Check out the Vogue slideshow and interview for even more eye candy (like...LSD's jewelry drawer).

HAPPY THURSDAY.
