So, I went to the Banana Republic Milly Event in Toronto on Tuesday night and as predicted, everyone was smitten with the elephant shorts, including Milly herself, the lovely Michelle Smith, who claimed they were her favourite piece in the collection. I tried them on, fell in love and am now the proud owner of Olivia Palermo's elephant print shorts (see the post below for inspiration). So happy - they are the perfect length (not offensively short and they actually stay put), the perfect weight fabric, and the print is as cute as I'd hoped. Here I am, about to try on the shorts and looking awfully serious. Selfies are tough work. The pics below are post-short purchase. Note the dreamy grin on my face. x

Shop the Banana Republic Milly Collection here. Surprisingly reasonable, yes?

A tableau of terribly patient models greeted us at the front door of the Bloor St. Banana Republic

A pretty gift with purchase. Um, yes please!

I'm with the lovely Iva Grbesic of One Chic Mom. Love her!

Loved this tee but I'm on a budget so it had to remain behind for someone else to adopt.

With Stephanie Fusco, Milly designer Michelle Smith, Deanne Castro, and Nicole Wilson
