I love dresses, ideally, uber-feminine frocks. Hence, my love and obsession with Hill House Home. HHH is quintessentially feminine, effortless, and elegant. Wash and air dry. Absolute perfection to me.
I discovered Hill House Home and their now-famous Nap Dress #napdressnation. I never found a brand, a dress (my favorite to date is the Ellie Nap Dress in botanical blue – I own two in blue botanical) a style of clothing that met my every clothing need affordably, beautifully, perfectly. Just so me and my brand, Home with Alexandra’s ethos; chic, simple, reimagined. Reimagined? Yes! We are talking about a smocked dress. Simple, right?
My mom purchased Sears & Robuck store brand Growing Girl camis when I was a little girl. They were white cotton with little pink or blue roses all over. I adored them! The blue botanical Ellie dress is the flowered staple that I can wear daily. The nap dress is like a Growing Girl staple for grown-ups. Just change your accessories.
There are many things that I am good at accomplishing. Styling myself is NOT one of them. I just don’t have that innate sense of style. Sofia, my daughter, has it. She’s always had it. Not me. After years of working with stylists, in television, competing in pageants, working in New York City, and more, one would think I would have developed this aspect of myself. No chance. I would dress like a Disney Princess, Superstar Barbie, or a character straight from the set of Bridgerton all day long if it were up to me. And for those of you who know me, you know this is true! So stop laughing!! If you are looking for a collection of lady-like, lovely, well-made, well-priced pieces, look no further than Nell Diamond’s Hill House Home. The hair bows and headbands are a love of mine as well.
I read an article about Hill House Home founder, Nell Diamond, in Bazaar Magazine online. The story resonated with me because like Nell, I too am structured and highly organized, yet I have quirky idiosyncrasies to my self-image. The world says, “Be Yourself” but “Be Relatable”. I get it. Often, I am in a role where I present and share with others, and being relatable is essential. But I am not a jeans and t-shirt gal. I will happily wear them from time to time, but they are not my go-to, first choice of clothing. I don’t sleep in t-shirts or own sweat pants. I love dresses, ideally, uber-feminine frocks. Hence, my love and obsession with Hill House Home.
HHH is quintessentially feminine, effortless, and elegant. Wash and air dry. Absolute perfection to me! Follow @hillhouse and be on the lookout for soon-to-drop styles and colors of upcoming collections. I hope you fall in love.
Love, xoxo your HomeBFF, Alexandra
