DREAMIN' OF MILLY

posted on: Thursday, January 2, 2014


Oh my gosh, guys! I am so head over heels with the current collection by Milly. For those of you who aren't familiar, Milly is a company ran out of New York by designer Michelle Smith. Her ability to mix edgy and feminine showcased through tailored looks blows my mind. I can only dream about being able to afford any of these pieces!

A. The Leather Detail Jumper: First of all, I'm obsessed with this pattern. It's something I can't quite explain and that's what I love about it. It's made out of jacquard which means it's definitely durable and certainly comfortable. The tailored and clean shape keep it structured, which is a sure fire way to feel confident and like you can take on the world. Top it off with the leather details at the waist and shoulders, and it's to die for. Check it out here!

B. Skulls Knit Flare Dress: I literally let out a high pitch, girly, "I need this, Oh my god!" when I came across this dress. Taking a flirty yet simple high necked flare silhouette and covering it in such a bold, daring pattern to give it edge is genius. It's made of mostly viscose so it's also stretchy and comfortable. I could see myself rocking this with my cropped moto jacket, playful heeled booties and a dark lip. I honestly might grab a jar this second and start saving up for it. Check it out here!

C. Riley Backpack: So lately I'm all about backpacks. I recently switched from carrying a purse to an adorable Herschel backpack I got at an amazing price, and I'm loving it. Fitting everything I could ever want to have with me when I leave my house disguised in a cute sack that sits secure on my back? Yes please! when I saw this bag, the first thing I was drawn to was the oversized zippers and tassels. Since it's black and leather it would go with just about everything! I also really like the sporty vibe it would bring to an outfit. Check it out here!

D. Chamak by Kakkar Bangle Set: Last but in no way least, these bracelets. I was captured by the square design of the silver they created using triangles, which frame all of the Australian crystals. These would intensify any look and give a really elegant and sophisticated vibe. Into it. Check them out here!
