Milly for Banana Republic


Designer collections for budget friendly stores are always a fabulous opportunity to get the look for less. Over the past few years some designer collaborations have been disappointing- but I think this one delivers. Banana Republic says the Milly collection by designer Michelle Smith, "blends effortless modernity with chic prints inspired by summertime."  I agree.  Milly is best known for classic looks with fantastic detail and fun prints.  The collaboration with Banana Republic features pretty prints as well as beading and colorful accessories.  Plus the price point is well below half of the price of original boutique Milly clothes. Let's check out some of the women's line highlights:




Striped Fit and Flare dress
$140.

If you buy nothing else, splurge on a bracelet.  You will feel so special the next time you go out.  With accessories, the colors do not need to perfectly match your outfit, just complement it. Two-tone stretch bracelet, $35..

This is a personal favorite.  Mostly, because of the accessibility of the price. Shorts and a tee are perfect for any summer day!
Beaded Necklace top, $45.
Shorts, $49.50 

Love the mix of prints here! Medallion Print Roll-Sleeve Top
$89.50

 Colorblock Pleated Patio Dress
$160.


Market Tote, $130.. 

 Eden Rock Printed Dress
$130.

Steals & Deals

        Deals of the day:   as shown in an earlier post- pink jeans are a fun wardrobe addition for Winter and Spring.  Get them while you can from Old Navy, 'Rock Star' fit.  From what I understand it has been their most popular color since they came in.  My other fabulous find is Revlon Photo Ready Eye Brightener and Primer.  I have been using a lovely brightener by laura mercier for a couple of years now.  This one from Revlon works well enough and without the shimmer.  It has it's own brush built in for easy application. It is a perfect everyday item at the right price.  Plus, you can pick it up at your corner drugstore.
