Mother Knows: Hunter Bell of Hunter Bell
We're so excited to introduce Hunter Bell, Founder & Creative Director behind Hunter Bell — a contempory womenswear brand celebrating its 20th anniversary this year! Read on to hear about everything she's loving right now as a business owner and mother.
Meet Hunter
I'm Hunter Bell, Founder and Creative Director of Hunter Bell, a contemporary womenswear brand. I grew up in South Carolina, started my business in New York, and now live in Houston with my husband and our three children. My family has always been the heartbeat behind everything I create. Building a business while raising a family has taught me to embrace creativity, optimism, and flexibility—and those values continue to shape both my life and my work.
Her Edit — What She's Reaching for Right Now
Sk-II Facial Essence
I love this product & use it everyday. It gives such a nice hydration to your skin before makeup. It really is the key for that glass skin look. It is one of my products I am always repurchasing.
Gruns Vitamins
Who doesn’t love a gummy vitamin?! Another product I am always repurchasing. They have everything you need in a vitamin and are yummy.
Hunter Bell x Freya Straw Hat
I love our lifeguard hat at Hunter Bell. Especially in the summer with my kids on vacation or sports it’s always good to have a chic and fun way to protect from the sun.
Goodr Sunglasses
I have these in every bag in my car. I love that I can get sunglasses for every member of my family and they can be tossed into any pool bag or car console.
The Defined Dish Cookbook Series
Defined dish is definitely the cook book most used in my home. The recipes are healthy and quick. They have family style meals that my kids enjoy and unique recipes that make weeknight date style dinners at home for me and my husband.
For The Children — What She's Loving Right Now
Little English Short Sleeve Polo & Sport Shorts
For my boys I love any Little English short sleeve polo and sport shorts. It can be difficult to get 9 year old boys into something we both agree on but I think they are cute and they are comfortable so it is a win all around!
Percy Jackson Graphic Novels
My kids love graphic novels and this is a series my boys have read through. I love to hear about how interested they are in the story line.
My Tot Clock
This is an item that has grown with all of my children. We still use it for each of them! It’s great for kids to see when it is bed time or time to wake up for school.
Unseen Sunscreen by Supergoop
My 10 year old daughter is obsessed! It’s an amazing product to get your child to wear sunscreen in the summer for activities when they really don’t want to wear sunscreen. It’s fun for us to pick it out at Sephora and keep her face protected from the sun.
Of Note — What's Inspiring Her Lately
Celebrating 20 years of Hunter Bell has been incredibly inspiring. Reflecting on this milestone encourages me and the team to live in the moment and appreciate both family and creativity.
