Trend Spotting : Military Pieces We Love

We are crazy for military inspired pieces this fall. Wearing olives and blacks with hardware detail gives you a sense of confidence and strangely femininity. We've been getting in a steady stream of beautiful items with an army sensibility. Bailey 44 has created a striking group of clothes with this theme.

Of course heavyweights like Michael Stars and Splendid didn't miss out on this important trend for fall. They both delivered lovely olive greens and military design details.


If you're someone who loves the trend but refuses to go near the olive green color, consider wearing olive on the bottom, like this J Brand Twill Pencil skinny jean or try a black or grey military like style with hardware detail like the Yoana Baraschi Charm Cadet Knit Coat in Black or Juicy Couture's Band Jacket in Driftwood.


Check out these styles and more military inspired pieces at Urban Minx!

Trendspotting : Gwen Stefani & Houndstooth

Celebrity Sighting: A-listers in Auto-Matic Style


Kristen Stewart, Hayden Panettiere, Alicia Keys, Vanessa Hudgens, and Keira Knightley all have something in common other than being a hot topic on the hollywood scene - their denim!

Each starlet pictured above is wearing a particular set of Diesel duds known as the Matic Skinny, a super slender, ultra-lowrise jean in that just right washed black rinse.

A large majority of the female population are probably thinking that it takes a personal trainer to look good in these jeans, but the Diesel Matic is flattering on all forms and will even slim you down a notch or two. And don't forget that the right skinny is the best way to show off those chic winter boots.

Shop the Diesel Matic and other celeb favorites at UrbanMinx!

Day after day the shoes are rolling in here at Urban Minx and there are so many fabulous ones!

Brand New Line : Central Park West

One of of the coolest new lines for fall is Central Park West.

We adore the Feather Sweater Dress in Pepper at left and my favorite piece is the Pyramid Stud Cardigan below. Both have an element of simple, classic design that is then swiftly made amazing with surprising details that knock it out of the park and into my heart.

Another modern take on a cardigan that is terribly cool, the Cascades Zip Cardigan, showing that zippers aren't just for function! Somehow bridges the gap between edgy and elegant.

New Designer to Love : Blaque Label


This week we're highlighting some of our favorite new additions to the Minx family. Blaque Label is an amazing line of innovative, modern and flattering pieces that have modest prices without sacrificing details or quality. We love this line and can't wait to see more!

Here's how Blaque Label describes their line:

The true inspiration for the creation of Blaque Label was the bold nature of Parisian fashion; the women of the city have an innate sense of fashion that is bar none. Not only do Parisian women have an impeccable fashion aesthetic but embody a type of confidence not often found in the United States. A major priority of Blaque Label is to try to instill in our clients this same type of confidence. The biggest factor that differentiates Blaque Label from other runway-inspired designers is that Blaque's philosophy is our clients deserve runway-inspired ready-to-wear garments at very affordable prices. We stress the notion that it's not necessary for one to posses a lot of money but rather spend what they can afford on pieces that not only look great, but make the wearer feel special. Blaque Label is the manifestation of travel, music, pop culture and art that offers a unique point of view of modern society. Blaque believes women to be beautiful beings and strives to create clothing of the same caliber.

NY Fashion Week : G-Star



G-Star is one of our most beloved brands and we love when they put on a show because it is always a good one. Amazing silhouettes and great details, they showed how they are at the forefront of modern denim design. I adore the fact that their details and design are always with functionality in mind and make the clothes more wearable.

As Alison Baenen wrote in her review for style.com:

"Functionality was key, with several pieces of outerwear equipped with straps and cords that did this or that. One lucky model's backpack came equipped with a flask, and there was a clever denim jacket with a built-in windbreaker. Despite their somewhat subdued presentation, though, the clothes were the same saucy spin of classic American sportswear that fans expect."

Celebrity Style: Jessica Alba


Jessica Alba's casual, day-to-day outfit featuring 7 For All Mankind jeans is an easy style to steal for yourself.

Start off with a pair of distressed denim jeans like Straight Leg in San Clemente from 7 For All Mankind. The comfortable fit and mild distressing add a lot of character to these jeans and will make them a quick favorite in your closet.

Top it off (literally) with a loose white tee or tank like Racerback Tank in White w Pocket by Michael Stars and wear a grey cardigan like our Pyramid Stud Cardigan in Heather by Central Park West. Finish the looks with an eye-catching scarf like Burnout Scarf in Foggy Pink/Turquoise from Erge.

Get the Skinny on Skinny Jeans


Skinny Jeans have made a resurgence since their debut in the 1950's and now they are all the rage! Their slim fit, comfortable waist lines and versatility for both genders makes them a must have staple in anyone's closet.

Skinny Jeans come in a variety of styles in an of themselves, including colored, cropped and distressed. Colored skinny jeans are great for that youthful, edgy scenester look and can be paired with almost any T-shirt. Try this combo: Carmella Ankle Jean in Andes from Juicy Couture with Neon Nerds Tee in Black Wash by Junk Food.

If you're looking to slenderize and elongate your legs then cropped is your best best and we recommend either Cuffed Penelope Jean in Hilden by Juicy Couture or Socialite Kicker in Black by Joe's Jeans.

Distressed jeans are perfect for adding a little edge to your outfit without making you look too harsh. Regent Ripped Skinny in Collin by Hudson Jeans are the perfect representative for distressed skinny jeans and would look great paired with a more structured or refine top to balance the outfit out.

Denim: Dressed to Distress


Denim is a classic fashion staple that will never go away, but how can you recreate a classic to keep it from becoming old hat? Simple-- you don't recreate it you destroy it! Distressed denim is all the rage and adds a tough vibe to any cute or classy ensemble.

If you're really trying to play up the laid back look with distressed jeans then we suggest wearing the Laid Back Boyfriend Jean in Meteor by Rich and Skinny with a fitted tee or a slouchy sweater to get the full casual effect.

Want a more sophisticated look without looking stuffy? Josefina Crop in Vintage Port Lions by 7 For All Mankind looks great when paired with some killer pumps, white blouse and a cute cardigan.

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Aniston in Hudson

"I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity- all I hope for in my clothes." -Yves Saint Laurent

How true- there's nothing quite like the blue jean. These cute and form flattering Hudson jeans spotted on Jennifer Aniston are the perfect example of the fine tailoring that goes into each pair of hand crafted Hudson jeans. With both modern and classic styles, Aniston isn't the only celeb to fall in love with the quality of Hudson denim. We've seen Mischa Barton, Carmen Electra, and Jessica Alba all sporting fresh looks from Hudson.
Straight from the top of British couture, any product from Hudson will meet your expectations of quality, fashion, and comfort.

Grey is here to stay!


One color trend we're seeing in preparation for Fall is the color grey. Grey is the perfect Autumn color and evokes thoughts of the Winter to come. It's also ridiculously easy to match with, and even bright pops of color look great under a grey cardigan!

If you want to jump aboard the grey train then we recommend the Pyramid Stud Cardigan in Heather by Central Park West, Disco Fever Cardigan in Charcoal by Charlotte Tarantola or the Color Block Cardigan in Black and Grey by Kensiegirl.

Try wearing a top like Raglan V-Neck Top in Sunsilk or Racerback Tank in White w Pocket, both by Michael Stars, to lighten up the look!

Celebrity Style : Double Take

I seriously had to do a double take when looking at Paris Hilton wearing this adorable Lauren Moshi Swing Bow Tee! This might be one of the classiest looks I've seen her sporting!

I love how the texture of her purse plays off the striped sketch from her shirt. So pretty and subtle!

Complete the look with leggings! Check out more Lauren Moshi at Urban Minx now!

Celebrity Style : Megan Fox in Rock & Republic

Denimblog recently posted a sighting of foxy Megan Fox wearing one of our all time favorites, the Kasandra jean by Rock & Republic.

It looks like she might be wearing the Kasandra jean in Tragedy, but there are also some great other versions of this jean. The Kasandra Low Rise Bootcut jean in Sizzle Service is a great darker version with electric stylized Rs on the back pockets, or the Kasandra jean in Pinnacle Peak is a good classic.

Celebrity Style: Blake Lively in Rich & Skinny

One of my favorite young actresses, Blake Lively, has notoriously good taste in fashion, so it was hardly surprising that she has been spotted wearing a hip new line of jeans by the name of Rich and Skinny. The fit is terrific and they truly are a flattering jean (you don't have to be Blake Lively to look amazing in them). One of her favorites, and ours too, is the Legacy Skinny Jean in Rinse. Another beautiful jean in a more vibrant blue is The Wedge in Storm. You have got to put a pair on to see how great they are. Shop Rich and Skinny and other denim at Urban Minx now! *aw

Bottoms Up!


We've been showing a lot of tops on here recently, but we haven't really given you any bottoms to pair them with. We at Urban Minx have an absurdly wide selection of pants, but let's showcase a few of our new favorites! The Buxton Leather Pants in Charcoal by TAG are so rocker chic, and they'll look great with almost any top, but with their muted color would be best paired with something white or black. The Penelope Pants in Black by Bailey 44 are stretchy yet form-fitting and would look amazing under an over-sized tank or tee. The Mid Rise Boot Cut Jean in SMT from Hudson Jeans are a classic homage to blue jeans, but with a bit of a twist on the back pockets.

The Long and Short-Shorts of It...


Recent pictures of young Hollywood starlets show that the thing to be wearing is a white button- down blouse and raggedy short shorts-- business up top and party on the bottom! Miley Cyrus, Rachel Bilson and Emma Watson were all caught donning white blouses and cut-off jean shorts, so you should follow their lead and snag this style for yourself!

For your business-on-top we would suggest either the Robespierre Shirt in White by Bailey 44 or the Larissa Luxe Blouse in White by Theory. These would look best with a cute pair of shorts like Kiera Short in Dakota Sky by True Religion, Croxley Short in Kilburn by Hudson Jeans or Sophie Short in Bolinas by Juicy Couture.
