Even though it is the middle of February I am already day dreaming about Spring and how much more fun warm looks can be (I'm a Florida girl I can't help it) If I wasn't excited enough about spending my Spring Break in beautiful Palm
Beach, I am more excited to be somewhere I can actually buy Milly! Especially after seeing how amazing the looks from the
Spring 2009 collection are!
Milly was created in 2000 by Michelle Smith. Milly combines beautiful, free flowing, eye popping fabrics to create a flattering silhouette and unique look. Michelle was ambitious after finishing at FIT she nailed a dream internship at Hermes in Paris she went on to intern with Louis Vuitton, Torrente, and Christian
Dior Haute Couture. Not a bad resume!
I started noticing Milly's amazing pieces when
I worked the style closet at E! I wanted all of the long maxi dresses the cast was taking with them for our Vegas show. After spending time in Palm Beach where it looks like Lilly and Milly threw up everywhere I had officially become obsessed!
The Spring collection was Hippie/Moroccan chic. I love the color palette of mauve pinks,oranges, browns, dark sages, mustard, and lilacs. I love the Boho dresses, professional looks with fun beaded cardigans and knee length skirts, funky belts and caftans, and cute suits. I loved the styling of the models with the chunky platforms, beanies, and of course over sized bronze sunglasses. My favorite look hands down was the Watercolor dress. I love the colors and beading surrounding the neck. Hopefully my dream of working Fashion PR in beautiful Palm Beach will come true and I will wear Milly to work on a daily basis!

Being in Alabama the weather changes literally hour by hour in the morning it can be 38 degrees then by noon itll be 70. So the trend I've been seeing lately is this ensemble composed of long leggings usually cutting off at the ankle, Nike's Dri-FIT Running shorts, a baggy tee, and either running shoes or UGGS to top off the outfit. Now I am all about being comfortable in class but there is no excuse for looking so confused. Are you going running after class? If its freezing outside why don't you just wear pants? Its not like you are going to go to the bathroom and take off the leggings and carry them around in your bag and just sport your Dri-FIT training shorts? I have gotten numerous males asking me "Why do girls on campus wear trashbag shorts over pants?" I know that having an 8am you dont want to go to class in a cocktail dress I get it-but there are so many other comfortable and still stylish options for you ladies baring the pain of the cold and an early morning class. 
over STOCKINGS. And the style of short needs to be outside of the active wear genre. There are plenty of comfortable, affordable, and stylish shorts that can be paired over a
