an ideal...
One of Milly's staff enjoyed the first wear of her new Jolet Idealist trousers so much today that she decided to make them the feature garment here at the blog, with a few other pieces that she owns or covets... But didn't she feel like a real nong, as she stood next to the mannequin to dress it in the same pants, adjusting the mannequin's height to match hers, turning up the mannequin's hems the same number of times as her own cuffs, playing with tucking in and leaving tops free as she had that morning, and even lending the mannequin her belt..?!
Well. What can she say?
It's a good look...

Plenty of...
Somebody asked me today why I was photographing the scarves and I said, 'because we're trying to suggest good ideas for Mother's Day'... And then the same person responded, 'isn't it a bit late for that?' and I said, 'sigh, yes, possibly' ... except that I haven't yet shopped for Mum, and neither had the asker of difficult questions.
Milly Sleeping has many options for those running (a bit) short of time. We have beautiful scarves in varied sizes, weights and fabrics; we have jewellery, and we've restocked our precious supply of OK OK tights and socks - thanks Emina!
We also have new garments in (including wool jackets!) from Alexi Freeman, Jolet and Kuwaii... Plenty to see, plenty of reasons to drop by.

Blue
For various (almost subliminal) reasons, the colour for Milly sleeping in the maid's room is blue - French flag blue to be precise.
