LOTC/Fashion Inspiration: Olivia Palermo and Zoe Saldana in Milly Collection for Banana Republic

June 6, 2013

When did you start shopping at Banana Republic?

Save! Mr. Rebates is the site that offers the highest cash back when you shop here (3%).  Log onto Mr. Rebates first, then click over to Banana Republic and shop to get cash back on your entire purchase.  Here is my invite if you’d like it. *

I think I started to shop there late in high school or in college (it was the natural graduation point from Gap right?)  The easy staple items and affordable prices at the store also meant that it continued to dominate my closet for the first few years in the professional world.  But my love for the brand fizzled as I started to like brighter colors and different fabrics (the sizing or fabrics also seemed to become strange).

But I’m definitely intrigued now that Milly has created a 60 piece Luxing it on the Cheap (LOTC) collection for Banana Republic.  Milly’s contemporary styles infuse American sportswear with Paris Atelier techniques – think fabulous prints, delightful details, and remarkable silhouettes. One of my FAVORITE dresses is a simple little white sheath dress from Milly with a rocking gold belt – a little Sharon Stone-esque, but in a longer length and with hardware!

I definitely became more interested in the collaboration when I saw style stars Olivia Palermo rocking the elephant print shorts and Zoe Saldana styling in the striped fit and flare dress.

The collection is full of bright, printed pieces.  Some (like that elephant print!) work a bit more than others, but these are definitely perfect for the warmer days ahead.

    Oh my gosh, adorable! I was in the mall for the first time in ages today and didn’t even think to go into BR because I never find anything in there that fits my life, but I could definitely see getting the elephant shorts! So cute!

    Hope June is being good to you so far!
