Aerin Lauder's Private Collection
You might have noticed that I have been MIA since Wednesday.
I had a chance to hang out with the fabulous Total Beauty team along with some amazing fellow bloggers in NYC.
I will dish more on both later...I promise!
One of the many highlights of my brief stay in NYC was a visit to the corporate offices of Estee Lauder. Erika from Makeup Bag, Michelle from All Lacquered Up and I got a sneak peek of the exclusive Private Collection that will be available at Bergdorf Goodman. The launch of a special boutique will be held this morning at 10. For the NYC ladies...the products will be displayed across from the Estee Lauder counter.
This collection was created by Aerin Lauder and features re-interpreted pieces from the Lauder archives along with some of her favorite things including a pair of Lanvin ballet slippers.
She collaborated with Lanvin to create a lovely shade of gold.
The color is stunning and reminded me of an antique charm bracelet.
The ballet slippers will retail for $395.
My personal favorite from the entire collection was the oversized Golden Alligator Bronze Goddess compact. This vintage inspired goodie will retail for $125. I can not imagine anything more fabulous for my Xmas stocking!
Erika from Makeup Bag adored the paisley pendant while Michelle from All Lacquered Up fell under the spell of the Sea Anemone collectible. This piece will retail for $1000.
Lauder worked with photographer Viktor Skrebneski to re-issue a 20th anniversary edition of his photography book, Five Beautiful Women. The coffee table book features Skrebneski’s photographs of Estée Lauder models from the 1960’s and 1970’s. There are some stunning pictures of Willow Bay. The book will retail for $125.
If you become smitten with any of the products shown call Bergdorf Goodman to place an order. There are 100 pieces in the collection ranging from brushes to a beaded evening purse. I am going to guess that the flats and the compact will fly off the shelves so you know the drill....do not lollygag.

Gorgeous flats and a lovely complact! I want them both!!!
HI, I wish I knew all of you were going to be in NY, I would have loved to come up and meet you. I wanted badly to get to the EL peresentation but couldn't make that.
It would have beeen nice to meet you and CincyFan. I have met the dear Erika. Perhaps next time.
Did you go to 7th on Sale ?
I love these items!! I've always loved Estee Lauder for creating pieces like these! So original and unique, unlike other lines of cosmetics who use very unattractive and cheap packaging!
Posts like this make me want to run out and buy all things Estee Lauder...it's all so very elegant, and and I want that compact!
It looks great! I wish I had one of these pieces.
Lanvin flats for the win. Everything in this post was delicious but then I got the the flats and decided they were the best part. haha
Lovely stuff!
I have a gold EL Alligator compact dating from 1980-something. I feel like a million dollars every time I pull it out of my handbag.
Those are so lovely.
Especially for gold which can look pretty tacky on some peices.
Hope you liked NYC!
xoxoxo
Hi BA: I did not get a chance to attend the sale.
Hopefully I will be back in NYC in the spring!!!!
Bela: I love that compact! It is so elegant.
Isn't it? It was such an extravagance for me at the time. I used to be of the It's-much-too-good-for-me school, but that time I decided to treat myself.
I hate to say this, but I like my version a bit better than the new one: I'm not so fond of that flat surround.
I enjoy reading your entries- keep up the great work!
I must get those flats. I am adding those my birthday wish list.
