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!

Selena Gomez looks effortlessly sexy in a grey jersey tank dress paired with unexpected extras, like combat boots, a geek-chic doctor bag, and bomber jacket, casually draped over the shoulders. We love the pop of color on her lips and cool sunnies, too. Can we please borrow just an ounce of this girl's cool factor?

Lauren Conrad's New Minnie Mouse Collection for Kohl's is Super Cute - See the Lookbook


LC Lauren Conrad x Minnie Mouse collection at Kohl's

Lauren Conrad has created a Minnie Mouse-inspired collection for Kohl's - and it's super cute. The 20-piece collection features the most adorable dresses and separates with a playful vintage vibe. Think polka dots, sweetheart necklines and Peter Pan collars. It's Lauren's second Disney-themed collection for Kohl's, the first being her Cinderella collection from this spring (currently on sale!). I'm loving LC's beauty look here, too, the cat-eye and red lip is perfection. Shop the Lauren Conrad x Minnie Mouse collection in stores May 10.
