Here's My Milly for Kohl's Review Complete with In-Store Photos and Dressing Room Selfies


Milly for Kohl's

Yesterday I managed to time my son's sometimes-nap with a little shopping trip to Kohl's, where I scoped out the new Milly for DesigNation collection. While my store didn't have a huge selection, I was able to try on a few dresses and assess the quality and sizing. Here's what you need to know: Fit is true to size (similar to Kohl's ELLE brand). The fabrics feel soft and substantial. I had trouble with some zippers but no deal breakers with quality or fit. Be careful to note that some pieces which look like Milly are in fact part of the ELLE collection (like the lemon dress and the matching crop-top skirt sets you'll see featured below). The similarities are...awkward. But if you find yourself preferring some of the ELLE pieces, no harm in that!

Hi ladies! It's Chantal here, Budget Babe's sister, guest blogging for you all tonight to share my experience with the Lilly Pulitzer for Target launch. It all began late last night when I attempted to score some of the merchandise online, and at that point Target.com crashed. So, left with only the store option, I decided I was going to Black Friday this sale and be there when the doors opened.

My Favorite Pieces from the Lilly Pulitzer for Target Lookbook


Lilly Pulitzer for Target Wishlist

Target has done a fabulous job unveiling the entire 250-piece Lilly Pulitzer collection - which includes resort-inspired clothing, jewelry, makeup, hair accessories, beach towels and housewares - in a delightful brand shop on Target.com (bookmark it for April 19th!) I especially love the interactive "virtual party" that lets you wander through a raucous Palm Beach fête while discovering items from the collection (I even spotted Big from SATC on my second go around...clever and fun!) You've probably already made your wishlists, but I thought I'd share my favorite pieces from the collection, from what I'll actually buy to what I'd buy if I were living the Lilly life:
