Since marrying banking heir James Rothschild in 2015, Nicky Hilton Rothschild has split her time between Manhattan and the Hamptons. And if her roots as the 2000s’ foremost heiress-cum-handbag designer shine through in her Noho penthouse[1]—cosmopolitan, compact and covetable—her summer home in Southampton could signify her more recent design endeavors—namely, the “Mommy & Me” spring collection for resort wear brand Tolani.
Launched yesterday[2], the collection emphasizes print-forward blouses and dresses inspired by Hilton’s year-and-a-half-old mini-me Lily-Grace. “I love being able to design pieces for my daughter Lily-Grace, and she’s loving all of them,” says Hilton. “It’s always been my dream to do something like this.”
While Hilton is no stranger to twinning[3], the collection – comprised of match-able adult and child-sized pieces – is a far cry from the voluminous uniforms that defined Paris and Nicky’s[4] fairytale-esque upbringing. The breezy silk and (kid-friendly) modal fabrics and ornamental designs, true to the San Diego-based Tolani’s beachy aesthetic, are more tailored for a stress-free beach trip than a cotillion ball.
Hilton’s beach destination of choice is Southampton, to which she will soon decamp along with James, Lily-Grace, and newborn Teddy. Here’s where you might find the Hilton Rothschild clan rocking their matching prints.
Cup of Joe: Sant Ambroeus[5]. I adore hot Italian coffee.
Power Lunch: You can’t beat the grilled cheese and fries at Sip ‘n Soda[6].
Cocktail Hour: My porch.
Retail Therapy: Book Hampton[7] for reading. Juice Press[8] for smoothies. Catena’s[9] for sandwiches. White’s Apothecary[10] for lotions and potions. The Southampton Antiques Center[11] for fun bits and bobs.
Field Trip: Farm stand hopping. Babinski’s[12] for pies and dip. Green Thumb[13] for organic fruit and vegetables. Round Swamp Farm[14] for fried chicken and guacamole. Milk Pail[15] for fresh cider and donuts. The list goes on.
Date Night: Shippy’s[16] in Southampton. It has the most delicious food and cozy vibe. Most of the waitresses have been there for decades. You’ll also never see anyone you know. It’s a total locals spot.
