Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Palm Spri Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Palm Springs ✨ Comment SHOP for outfit links! 🔗 Seriously though, that Palm Springs light. Makes everyone look 10 years younger. Not to mention every backdrop looks like a movie set 🤩 PS I love you 💛 Outfit Details I scooped up this limited edition Hill House dress after seeing their founder Nellie wear a longer version of it to the Met Ball last year. The color & movement are 🤩🤩🤩 This color in tulle is no longer available in several sizes BUT it is in other gorgeous hues, including powder blue and classic black and navy! Swoon. Excellent as a wedding guest dress. It’s also available in the same tomato red color & style in a cotton eyelet daisy fabric. Just comment SHOP & I’ll DM you the same style in my favorite current fabrics plus my accessories… Nap Dress Nation This is now my third Nap Dress. Are you a member of #napdressnation ? I feel like this brand has a big East Coast following but not as much on the West Coast (yet!). Or am I mistaken? They’re ideal for CA weather! ☀️ Come West, HH friends!
