Karen Millen's minimalist luxe

Thanks for all your fun(ny) comments yesterday! Here's a positive London post (to atone :)). Ever since British Boy wanted to get me a dress from Karen Millen in Covent Garden (3-month anniversary gift), I've had a Millen soft spot.:) Everything's so minimalist-luxe this season.

P.S. The dress ploy must've worked, it'll be 5 years for us. ;)
P.P.S. Millen's suede over-the-knee boots get all the press attention, but I also like the below shoe (and dress)...

  16. I'll take those boots, and those little bow peep toes!! I am also loving the minimalist influence. I think it puts more emphasis on the person wearing the clothing. Thank you for sharing!

  22. Karen Millen is divine! I used to drool in front of the shop's window during my London days. I could never afford the clothes on a publishing salary.
