Summary

Paula Sutton is the stylist and creator behind Hill House Vintage, where her English-countryside style comes to life through whimsical imagery of her home and garden. Sutton has garnered an audience of over half a million followers on Instagram and has become an author, debuting her first book, Hill House Living: The Art of Creating a Joyful Life, just last year. While Sutton has found her stride in slow-paced, thoughtful content creation, her early career looked quite different. After starting off as a press officer for Elite Premier model agency in London, she worked in fashion PR and as a model agent before landing at Elle, where she was the bookings director. If that sounds like a lot to squeeze in, that’s because Sutton was moving at a mile a minute for many years. On this episode of Second Life, find out how Sutton’s transition from city living to the countryside actually foreshadowed a synonymous career evolution that led her to build a brand that sparks true joy.
