Melissa’s aim is to bring the high-level of customer service she maintains in her boutiques to the online world “online shopping is still very impersonal and the consumer is often left hanging due to poor customer service, we strive to capture the boutique feeling we have in our stores and bring it to our online clients” said Walton. And who put the Cheeky into UrbanMinx? Well Walton was referred to by her friends in London as a “Minx” and that’s how the business name came about. Minx meaning a fun individual who has their own sense of style and a wicked sense of humor, a little bit naughty but nice! Walton believes fashion should be fun and loves nothing better than having a laugh with her clients.

Angie Harmon Luhs Wide Leg Juicy Jeans

We've loved Angie since she was a sultry-voiced attorney on Law and Order. She was recently seen wearing a pair of Juicy Couture wide leg jeans and looking super fine. We're seeing tons of wide leg jeans at the moment, and especially love the wide leg Juicy Couture trouser jean in Toyko. They're sophisticated and will look great with your nubby fall jackets. The cut is great for all shapes and the wash is nice and clean. Pockets are close together (great for making your butt look small).

UrbanMinx Boutique Goes Green

Announcing Our New Enviro-Bags

It is estimated that Americans use 14 billion plastic shopping bags every year - about 425 bags for every American man, woman and child - that end up in landfills for 20 years after their "life span," usually in trees and on fences.[source]

UrbanMinx Boutiques have just announced they will be replacing their paper bags with re-usable, environmentally friendly poly prop bags. We encourage our customers to bring their bags back with them for extra savings in the store.

The new bags are strong enough to take with you to the grocery store or to tote your gym clothes, school supplies, or work files. Enjoy!

Medford UrbanMinx Grand Re-Opening

The Medford boutique looks better than ever!

Medford UrbanMinx has moved to the Rogue Valley Mall! When you come visit us in our new store, you'll save 20% on all of our regularly priced merchandise through the month of July including our newest arrivals from Ella Moss, G-Star, BCBG, and tons more!

The Rogue Valley Mall is located at 1600 North Riverside Drive in Medford. We look forward to seeing you there!

UrbanMinx Boutique Celebrates the 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!



The UrbanMinx crew and their brand new bus celebrated the 4th of July in the Ashland Parade this year. Our new authentic 1940s double decker bus looked shiny and new thanks to the hundreds hours of hard work from Gordy's Customs and Shawn McFadden. The fully restored Double Decker Bus along with the dashing Minx Crew tossed t-shirts and candy into the crowd (who looked beautiful even in 100 degree weather) and sported red jumpsuits to match their new bus. They even managed to pick up a few parade watchers to help celebrate the 4th! A huge thanks to Lucas Balzer for taking a few snapshots of the crew on this special day. Don't forget to send your submissions for bus names to Sarah@urbanminx.com for your change to win a huge shopping spree!

Celeb Style

Steal Your Celeb Look

You don't need a personal stylist to dress like a celeb! We've compiled two outfits inspired but some of our favorite trend-setting celebs.

Sienna Style

Our Sienna Miller inspired outfit combines the Goldsign Skinny Envy jean with a LA Made super sheer ribbed long tank and the versatile LA Made Babydoll Dress with Pockets. We've taken her into fall with the imported Italian leather boots from DGM and a Blush B-Lush handbag (call hotline for details).

Reese Style

For those of you who are more feminine in your style, we've put together a darling Reese Witherspoon inspired casual outfit. We started with the super comfy Paper Denim & Cloth Bootcut jean in blue fusion.

To add a punch of color, we paired the jeans with a LA Made basic long rib tank in mai tai. To top off the outfit with a super feminine piece, we layered the Tulle Voile Ruffle Jacket in white.

Because Reese is a mother of small children, her footwear is usually comfy and chic. We've put her in the Kensie Noreen Ballet flat in light gold for a comfy but dressy look.

Her accessories are usually minimal, so our outfit is accessorized with the Blush B-Lush sonnet clutch in white, a Nyla swarovski crystal bangle, gold locket, and Versace sunglasses.

Love what you see, but don't know where to find it? Have a favorite celeb you'd like us to copy? Call our hotline at 877.322.6469 or e-mail us at customerservice@urbanminx.com.
