Customer highlight...Hillary Hansen

May 22, 2014

The women who wear Adea are a diverse and exciting bunch of ladies and we are always curious to learn more about each of them. Once a month we highlight an Adea customer and share their personal story and style sense with you. We hope you enjoy reading about these amazing women as much as we do!

This month we interviewed Hillary Hansen, wife and mother of 3, who is about to start another, exciting chapter in her life. We are thrilled for her! Read the full interview here:

I am happily married and the mother 3 bright young children. I have spent the past 10 years pouring over news magazines, non-fiction books, and newspapers. I love listening to podcasts, TED Talks, and other news outlets. I love it so much that this year I decided it was time to go back to school in this field. I applied to Columbia University in New York and got accepted into their prestigious school of Journalism. I begin in the fall and I am beyond excited! I hope to become an on-air reporter within a few years.

My personal style is….Simple and sophisticated

My personal styling trick is …… I have a LOT of highlights and low lights in my hair so I don’t have to have it done very often

I’d be lost without….the gym. Every day, every day, every day. I need to go to think, stretch my back, clear my mind and relieve stress.

The best place I’ve ever traveled to is…SO MANY!! Oh America the Beautiful, how I love you!! I have climbed the Filbert steps to the Coit Tower in San Francisco, kissed atop the Empire State Building in Manhattan, had a moment of silence at the WWII Monument in Washington DC, walked the cobblestone Beacon Street in Boston, took in the stunning views of L.A. and from the J. Paul Getty Museum, rocked some cowboy boots at a Malcolm Gladwell book signing in Dallas, and had pie at the Space Needle in Seattle. And I feel like this is still the beginning, there are so many more places that I want to go.

My favorite Adea piece is…The ¾ sleeve Boat neck!! In navy and white. I get so many compliments on this one when I wear it. I dress it up for church or wear it with jeans

Flash round:

Morning person or night owl? Morning

Coffee or tea? Tea

Cats or dogs? I don't have any pets.

Beach or mountains? City, I love museums, vintage book stores and I am a softy for a great bakery. (pun intended)

Australia in the Winter Months

August 12, 2020

I’ve never been able to pull it off BUT I’ve always wanted to go to Australia – everything I’ve heard about it fascinates me. That said I often watch those “survival” TV shows where a person takes a wrong turn in a desert, forest, mountain or the outback and is lost for days on end. Then an “outdoor survivalist” comes on and says, “If only they had done thus-and-so – they would have had food and water.”

“Come Fly With Me”

August 05, 2020

Over the years, the airline industry has experienced many twists and turns – and one of the most remarkable has been the evolution of the stewardess or airline hostess. That said I was stopped in my tracks by an article in Travel & Leisure, April 2020 titled “Taking Wing.” It featured a photo of a flight attendant’s dress from 1965 and was skillfully written by Ann Hood who has delivered a detailed on-the-scene report.

Favorite Spots, Five Boroughs

July 29, 2020

In a city like New York, that has a population of close to nine million, it’s great to know that there’s something for everyone. This gave me the idea to write about fun and/or favorite spots in all five boroughs, namely: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. So, in this blog we’ll cover places I’ve personally enjoyed over the years and spots mentioned in an article that ran in Condé Nast Traveler magazine in April 2020. Here are five slices of the Big Apple:

BODYWEAR

We use Italian lingerie sizing for our bodywear and items tend to run small.

Because of the body-hugging nature of the fabric and our body conscious fit most women prefer to wear our layering tops as under-layers. If you are inclined to wear them on their own we suggest you size up. Please email us or give us a call if you have questions about your sizing. We're happy to help you get it right.

Relaxed fit. Wear alone or over any of our layering tees or camisoles.
