Milly has long been one of my favorite dress designers. When I first started “Renting the Runway” back in 2009 for formals, semi-formals, and other events in college, they would almost always be Milly. Maybe it’s because most of her dresses have some sort of girly detail like bows or shimmer!
I was so excited when I found out that Milly was collaborating with Banana Republic for a line earlier this spring. I actually got to go to the preview the night before the pieces went on sale and fell in love with just about everything. The next morning, I got up nice and early to place my order before most people were awake. (Remember this dress?)
I hadn’t gotten a chance to wear this maxi yet in New York, but I knew it would be absolutely perfect for dinner in Florida a few weeks ago. We ate at Baleen at La Playa and were right on the water for the sunset. Insanely gorgeous!

Fun Fact: I had a hamster in 1st grade and her name was Milly. 😉
These pictures of you are gorgeous – love the fun printed dress & the beachy waves 🙂

These photos are simply stunning. You look so gorgeous in this printed maxi!
Love the beachy waves, did you use a certain product?
Thanks Tiffany! I actually styled my hair like I normally do even though it looks different. Honestly, I think it was just being on the beach that made it look more beachy! Wind + Salt Water Mist from the ocean + A touch of humidity. 🙂
The dress is great!

Gorgeous print! Such pretty pics too!
As for hamsters…When I was little, I had two that would fight ALL NIGHT LONG. Eventually one escaped. Never found him. Needless to say…my son doesn’t get any hamsters. HA HA.

You look gorgeous in these pics! I have a serious crush on Milly dresses as well and just wore a favorite one to a chicago wedding – featured on the blog.
I also vacationed to the Naples area recently and am dying to go back.
Great post Jessica!
