Aerin Lauder has an aesthetic that embodies an elegant, well lived life.  Her designs capture that sensibility well. She has just debuted a new collection in collaboration with a major retailer, and it hits all the right notes.  Have a summer house with kitchen cabinets and a bar to fill? Get a jump on that spring and summer entertaining and head over to Williams Sonoma NOW for their just launched exclusive collection with Aerin Lauder. The extensive collection of over 120 pieces is filled with classic home decor, entertaining pieces, items for the bar, stylish pillows and more, is done in an elevated, elegant casual way, and it includes Lauder's favorite classic color scheme: blue and white. Ahead, a look at my favorites from the nicely priced assortment that merges luxurious inspiration with an approachable appeal. Those that can't resist a scallop edged plate, this is for you...

Scalloped Dinner Plates come in a set of 4. Need I say more?

Scalloped Salad Plates, also sold in a set of 4. Get both.

Sea Blue Geometric Bowls with a tight linear geometric motif in a low shape I prefer to high sided bowls

Entertaining an endless stream of guests at home? The Sea Blue Geometric Platter can handle serving duties.

Sea Blue Appetizer Plates mix up assorted floral and geometric patterns

Cheese knife sets can go wrong and are often done badly.  Taking her cue from shells found in tropical climes, her Seashell Cheese Knives are beautifully done.

Serve little nibbles in little White Leaf Condiment Bowls that look nice on the dining table or end table

Ikat Napkins, that come in a set of 4 add a pop of pattern to a clean all white tablesetting

Always a go-to for pretty trays, (aka an ottoman's best friend) this rattan version hits all the right notes: generous in size with elegant handles.

Finally someone has made a chic flatware caddy! I love this.

A kicky blue pattern reminiscent of Murano glass decorates the Confetti Highball Glasses that come 4 to a set

Capitalizing on the ardor for the beloved Chinoiserie blue and white garden stool, this Ginger Jar Champagne Bucket brings that same feeling to the bar

Basics in rattan done right dot the collection. The Woven and Stainless Steel Ice Bucket with Tongs can go from city to country.

Get 2 of these White Link Pitchers -- one for the bar, and another for keeping freshly brewed iced tea at the ready in the fridge

Rattan Woven and Stainless Steel Coasters come in a set of 4. Did someone say hostess gift? Stock up on these in the gift closet, a la Candy Spelling.

When it's this pretty, use this Outdoor Printed Floral Pillow inside

Then there is this zippy diagonal graphic geo Outdoor Printed Hampton Ikat Lumbar Pillow

A seashell print done with Porthaut like charm on a lumbar pillow in outdoor fabric
