A Girls' Night IN With Miilla

The weekend is just around the corner! (Cue confetti and sighs of relief).

Do you ever feel like you're only more tired after your 2-day hiatus? This weekend, switch it up and fore-go the energy consuming (and wrinkle producing!) Girl's Night Out and try a fun but much more low-key Girl's Night IN!

For this weekend, eschew the banded micro-minis and plunging necklines and show your style chops with Miilla!

Are you more the girl next-door type? Or do your friends call you the 'Edgy One'? Whatever your personal style may be, Miilla's chic and versatile pieces let you customize your look with your own personal taste!

Get inspired with these outfit ideas below!



Try our Rouched Chiffon Top w/ Jersey Panel (T5323) with colorful jeans and a pair of goes-with-everything pointed nude flats for a casual and comfortable look that's still stylish and right on trend!





Our Military Drawstring Tunic w/ Contrast Pockets (i092) is the perfect combo of classic and hip.

Go for a sleek look with textured leggings and a killer pair of ankle boots! A fedora adds extra style points and helps to hide a bad hair-day!



You can never go wrong with our take on a classic.

Our Tencel Shirt-dress w/ Belt (T6062) is easy to customize! Pick color coordinating, bulky accessories for a more trendy look.





A maxi, like our 2-pc Knit Maxi (T6956) is a flattering and comfortable way to look stylish. Keep it fresh with a pretty pair of flat sandals and a metal arm cuff.



Are you the fashion dare-devil in the group? Our Oversized Dolman Sleeve Top w/ Side Draping (i175) is the perfect way to show your individuality and still stay comfy!

Amp up the edgy sex-appeal with a hot pair of leather shorts and leather over-the-knee boots!



Still want to put on a cute dress and some killer heels? Our Asymmetrical Knit Dress w/ Stitch Detail (T5929) is a still-sexy but more conservative way to rock the dress and heels combo!

Wood and neon heels and accessories give it a cool, of-the-moment vibe.

2012 Color Trends + MIILLA

After seeing one great design after another parade down the runway for all the joint Fashion Weeks, we were eager to introduce some of miilla's more popular styles that are right on trend for the coming seasons!

For colors, we are especially excited to see classic and sophisticated hues like cocoa, golden mustard tones, deep pinks, dark lavenders and blush, nude and peach tones ... and of course Pantone of the season, Red.




Also seen on the runway? Every type of neon. Personally, we're loving the idea of such electric hues in the usually more somber seasons of Fall and Winter ... stay tuned for NEON at miilla!
