Hi Lo: Jimmy Choo and Frye

The illustrious Jimmy Choo is one of the most desired names in shoes around...and for good reason, the shoes are amazing and sexy and beautiful.

The price is unfortunately, a bit out of my range, so I go in search of lower priced alternatives and was happy to find a much less expensive version of the Leather biker boots from another famous for all the right reasons brand, Frye. The Veronica Slouch Boot is a bit taller but definitely similar in style. Happily Frye boots are also known for their good quality, durability in addition to their amazing styles and good taste.

If you can afford Jimmy Choo, I enviously say go for it! But the Frye boot stands strong on it's own and instead of paying $1,050 you can save yourself quite a lot of cash and have the Veronica boot for only $328.

Young Hollywood Loves Frye Boots

Frye boots are a favorite not only with...well...everyone I know, but with young celebrity stars as well. The new Veronica Slouch we just got in is a big hit with Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, Emma Stone, Emma Roberts and Leighton Meester. In fact it was hard to find a picture of Miley Cyrus not wearing Frye boots! They are an amazing, quality piece you can wear for years and years looking stylish and feeling comfortable. I adore mine and I am obviously not alone.

Boot Season is Back

The days are getting shorter and before we know it will be full fledged fall! Which means its time to put those flip flops away and slip into some warm and comfy boots. Choose from Urban Minx's refined selection and find a style that best suits you.
Frye Boots are made out of only the finest American leather for durability and performance. Attack winter with the Melissa Button Boot in Black, Veronica Slouch Boot in Dark Brown, or the Heath Zip Boot in Maple. All made with the quality that will last not just this year, but for years to come.

Hi Lo : For the City and the Stables

We love Equestrian style, and the one thing that is quintessentially Equestrian is a good riding boot.  Maison Martin Margiela's Knee High Leather Boots are sleek and classic enough to be welcome both in the city and the stables.  I would love to be able to shell out $1,040 for boots, but alas, I cannot. 

Frye boots are amazing and well made, and so I was delighted to see their Melissa Button Boot in Black is a great alternative!  Especially at only $325.  This version is even a bit more horse friendly, with the rounded top edge and details.

Get This Look: Nikki Reed

On a West Hollywood shopping trip in late April, Twilight star Nikki Reed showed off her hip, young style by wearing one of our most coveted Juicy Couture pieces: the Striped Military Cardigan in Heather and Black. To complete this look we would start with the Michael Stars Lace Beater Tank in White, great to pair with a must have for the season, Juicy Couture's Sophie Short in Bolinas. Pull on a pair of Frye Heath Zip Boots in Maple to finish of the look of cool young Hollywood.

Staff Pick: Fond of Frye

Boots will probably play the biggest staple in your fall and winter wardrobes, and so it's important to find that perfect pair to compliment every outfit, keep you in comfort, and last long enough to enjoy them for years to come.

All this and even more endearments can be found in Frye's Veronica Slouch Boot, beloved for these reasons by UrbanMinx Customer Service rep Jennifer. The Veronica comes in a basic, matchable brown made stylish by marbled distressing. The finely hand-tooled boot is cut in a soft and ultimately comfortable slouch to remove strain on the ankles, and the leather is absolutely top notch - strong and supple enough for you to enjoy your Veronica season after season.

Frye Fix

Frye Boots have just arrived at UrbanMinx in anticipation of the fall season. These boots are ruggedly chic and brag a longevity that challenges the 146-year run the company has enjoyed.

It takes a painstaking 190 steps to make one pair of Frye boots, and for Frye's entire century and a half history they have benchcrafted their boots from the finest full grain leather uppers with genuine leather and premium leather soles.
