Aspiration without pretension: it's the high-wire balancing act every influencer hopes to achieve. 50-year-old Paula Sutton, a self-described "social recluse" who documents her quintessential English country home Hill House on her blog and Instagram, has managed it.
- 50-year-old Paula Sutton, a self-described “social recluse” who documents her quintessential English country home Hill House on her blog and Instagram, has managed it. Sutton’s refined approach to the traditional has made her a design star, as well as a personality in her own right — something she says nobody, least of all herself, could have predicted.
- “My theory has always been that you try the top and if that doesn’t work you go elsewhere,” she adds. “I think a lot of people, what they don’t realize is that if everyone is thinking that they’re not quite good enough there’s actually room at the top.”
- The clothes, she says, are meant to evoke a simple life: “I’ve never really been a sexy person. I’m not that. But I do love being well put together, red lipstick, I stick to a formula. I guess lady-like, I suppose. Although when I was younger I used to be in Dr. Martens the whole time. And I do like men’s brogues.
