A Review: Palm Beach

Florida Coast Magazine – Winter Issue 2020 – Assouline, the luxury and fashion publishing house that revolutionized the coffee table book has collaborated with Aerin Lauder, the granddaughter of Estee Lauder entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime resident of Palm Beach, to contribute to their Fall 2019 Classics Collection with a book on Palm Beach. In this book, Aerin explores over a century of Palm Beach through hand selected, opulent photographs and interspersed with enthralling quotes that take us through the iconic destination of Palm Beach, rich and vibrant in culture and all things glamorous! This particular quote from the book seems to perfectly sum it all up:

“Palm Beach ‘musts’: No socks. Sweaters over shoulders.

Jewelry ... A hairstyle known as ‘the Palm Beach crash helmet.’

Luxe cars. Private jets. Yachts. Bridge. Golf and tennis. -Steven Stolman, writer/designer    

Through Aerin’s discriminating eye, she leads us on a journey through old-world luxury to the new-age sophistication of the area. From some of her favorite restaurants, shopping venues, architectural and interior designs, to scenic coastal vistas, walkways, and trails, Aerin delivers to our awaiting senses one of America’s most glamorous and quintessential resort towns.

When asked what inspired her to take on this enchanting venture, Aerin replied, “Assouline is a wonderful partner and I had worked on a book about Aspen with them. As you know, I love Palm Beach. I’ve lived here my whole life and celebrated many milestones so it was such an honor when they asked me to do this book. Everyone is so excited and it has been a huge success.” Aerin is also the founder of the luxury lifestyle brand, AERIN, which encompasses a love and commitment to living life more beautifully. In our opinion, who better to put together a gorgeous coffee table book celebrating the elegant grandeur and beauty of Palm Beach.
