Shopping: Milly for Banana Republic

The Milly Collection for Banana Republic is in stores today and I can attest that it is full of great stuff. I was very excited for their last collaboration (with Trina Turk) and was a little disappointed but that was not an issue this time around.

I swung by the store this morning on my way back to the office from a meeting and picked up a few goodies (while trying on half the stuff). I’ve included my favorites below along with this summer sweater, skirt and beaded tee that I got.

Louisville gals – I went by The Summit store and they had a bunch of stuff BUT everything they had was out on the floor. So if you’ve been scoping out some items, definitely try and go by soon before they’re all gone.

Oh and major bummer – in the mailer, it has details on a gift set of nail polishes for BR card holders. Welp, they didn’t have those here in Louisville. It’s only in the cities having a party tonight.


My Favorites…

Derby Dress of the Day: For an Outdoor Box

For today’s dress, I wanted to pick something that I know is available locally. We’re getting to crunch time so it may be almost too late to get that overnight shipping online.

This chevron stripe Milly lovely would be great to get last minute because you can pair a ton of hats with it. Have a black hat? Throw on black espadrilles and you’re good. Want to go bright or see something at the store that catches your eye? Just grab it cause it will definitely go with this dress.

Derby Dresses of the Day: Lust vs Must to Wear Anywhere!

I know I missed yesterday’s Derby dress of the day, so today I’ve got two!

I love cobalt blue and the color has been popping up a bunch the last couple of seasons. I think the color is so perfectly clean, cool, bold and fresh for Derby. Make it girly with a bright pink hat, go more subtle and subdued with a pale yellow or creamy white {floral} fascinator, you could go monochromatic for a modern look or do something bright and colorful with bright green, a neon or orange.

I had a reader ask me about the Milly number below but since I know that price point isn’t for everyone so when I found this more casual but equally gorgeous number, I thought it would make for a great Derby lust vs. must.
