Celebrity Sighting: Mariah Carey in 7 For All Mankind


Songbird Mariah Carey was spotted stepping out of a limo in style with these 7 For All Mankind Gwenevere Skinnies.

The Gwenevere is slim and slenderizing - skinny enough even to double as a legging and perfect for Mariah's streamlined look.

Pair the Gwenevere with these chic Guess boots and Diesel's Gisil Jacket to capture Mariah's style.

What to Wear: Date Night


Dressing for a date always depends on the occasion, but we've managed to put something together which will hopefully keep you covered in everything short of extreme skydiving.

The trick is to find that perfect balance between sexy, sophisticated, and sweet. The Velvet Burnout Halter from Hale Bob boasts all three elements with a sultry cut, decadent fabric, and sugar sweet pattern in pink. If you're in a colder clime, Nougat's Lambswool Cardigan will not only keep you warm but will also leave the outfit at a lower key without looking conservative - at least until the fun starts.

Of course you'll want to present your most flattering figure possible, so don't balk at wearing a skinny jean. The Red Engine Cayenne Skinny has an especially forgiving form which caters to every body type. Add a pair of peep toes like these Bukala heels will have your legs looking sky high.

Because the top is busy, accessories should be understated. A simple leather tote like the edgy Turnlock Hobo Bag from Juicy Couture would be just right. Jewelry choice allows for some wiggle room, but be sure to choose something in the same colour family as your outfit that represents your personality well.

Getting the Boot: A How to Wear Guide

Our favorite part of fall is finally entering the fashion mix - boots! And UrbanMinx has compiled a list to showcase some of our choice styles, accompanied by brief how tos for each boot.

The Glamazon- This Buster Boot from Guess is for the fashionista who loves to face the world head on. The Buster looks best paired with dark wash skinnies and an equally slim top for a streamlined looking silhouette. For a dramatic look, keep your clothing dark and add a splash of colour with a fun statement necklace!

The Wild Child - The whole collection of Nomad boots carries a custom look with a wide array of patterns to appeal to more colourful tastes - certainly not for shrinking violets. Nomad boots look best with solid colours in whatever shade suits you. Because of the wider leg opening, you'll have more liberty with what bottoms you wear. You won't want to pair these pattern-heavy boots with extra textures or prints. Small patterned accents that don't overwhelm are more than welcome, though.

The Westerner- Old Gringo Boots are built for the rugged outdoorswoman, and the neutral shade of this Papaya Boot will allow it to go with just about anything. An earthier look is achieved with an indie plaid button up and a loose-fitting boyfriend jean.

The Starlet - Australia Luxe (originally Love) Collective is prized highly by young Hollywood for its seriously plush comfort and high style elements. This New Nomad Boot practically oozes luxury. To balance out the slight bulk of the boot, you would want to wear something blousy or fully up top. If you don't want wide-looking legs, stick with skinny or straight legged dark jeans.

The Free Spirit - We're talking fringe and fancy free. This Sam Edelman Fringe Boot still carries the sophistacation of the enlightened, but still appeals to your wild side with a bit of tribal-looking fringe. This is your perfect boot for the boho look. Gauzy, draped fabrics and fun-coloured tights are a must.
