Necessary Clothing

Photos by Nicolette Milano

A lot of necessary pieces from Necessary Clothing in this post. I've taken on a sporty look wearing a basic baseball tee and high waisted white skinny jeans. As a big fan of white, I know having a good pair of white skinnies is key for my wardrobe. I definitely recommend these from Necessary Clothing if you've been coveting a similar style. Personally, high waisted is one of my favorite styles for bottoms because they define a girls hips in the perfect way. Too low of a rise cuts me off, and I'm short to begin with so that's not very attractive. I always say "find what works for you, and stick with it."
As for the baseball tee, you really just can't go wrong. I live in this shirt. It's super soft and works with almost everything.

So, if you like this look and you're interested in winning a $200 shopping spree with Necessary Clothing, enter to win by voting for me on Fashiolista! It could be your lucky day and a chance to get your own summer white skinnies!

Packin' My Bags


TGIF: Today is the day that I begin mentally prepping for this amazing trip. I'm planning outfits and pulling together all of my necessities for the travel. Bollare was kind enough to supply me with some awesome accessories that will make my flight and life so much better, thanks guys! If you've followed me on instagram/twitter @colbymilano, you might have seen some of the pieces. (hint: sick TKO watch!^)

Anyway, I've created this little travel board as inspiration for my flight outfit. A pair of loose jean shorts, sweater, jacket, and boots is an ideal plane look. I guess with all of the sleeping pills I plan on taking it won't really matter what I'm wearing, but at least I'll know before I pass out that I'm lookin' super cute!

The look is accompanied by a large tote which I tend to always travel with. It fits everything and is the best when it comes to easily obtaining the wallet for security. I can't wait to instagram my twistband jelly passport case btw. It's amazing, stay tuned!

Dirty Dogs & Backpacks


Welcome to my life! It's finals week, and this is what I'm wearing. 
Having a backpack is essential during these times and I recommend to EVERY girl that you get one. Tote bags seem like the right choice for carrying tons of books but with 3 years of commuting experience, I can tell you (and so could my right shoulder) that it is not the go to. Get yourself a backpack, and PS: keep an eye out for the Fall 2013 Aimee Kestenberg backpacks. They're fabulous. 


On another note, I stopped by Pixie Market last weekend and picked up this little cheetah ear-cuff. I've been on a very dainty jewelry kick lately, but I plan to switch it up. My visit to the Bollare office yesterday inspired me to rock big watches and bangles. That might be my next move for me in the jewelry department. I've photographed some of the stuff on my instagram (@colbymilano), make sure you check it out!
