Summer: All About Tunics
























With the perfect length, fit, and feel, tunics are the easy breezy trend of the season. With leggings, skinny jeans, shorts, or possibly on their own if long enough, tunics of all styles and colors are a must for summer. The classic white, lightweight cotton Evie Tunic from La Made is a timeless essential. Also try the Splendid Clothing Modal Lycra Legging in Black.
For a casual summertime look, pair with gladiator sandals or fun flats (and the outfit easily converts to winter attire with boots when the time comes).
On the other end of the spectrum we have the perfect dressier tun
ic from Velvet Tees: The Ira Tunic Top in Black. This boho top is a stand-out evening choice!

Seeing Red


My closet used to be filled with red. Red dresses, red shoes, red tops, red everything. Yes, I was a bit obsessed. The time came for me to move on, to get rid of all the red in my closet and give other colors a chance.

That was years ago, and now I look longingly in my closet and realize what I need is some red! Red is making a strong comeback and I plan on being on board.

All American Made Style

What better time to think about buying products made in the USA than right now!

Many brands today have designers who care about making things locally to support our economy and to provide jobs here.

As we're celebrating the 4th of July lets remember how important is to buy American made products.

There are lots of very on-trend, stylish brands that put out amazing quality clothes and I wanted to highlight just a few that we have here!

Starting out pretty literally, Junk Food's USA Mickey Tee is a cute and playful vintage inspired piece Made in the USA.



The Ella Moss Pandra Top in Black is a beautiful, classic black shirt with sweet lace detailing. The fabric is light and easy for hot summer days.

One of our most popular denim brands, True Religion, also makes their jeans in the USA, giving us one more reason to love them. Shop the True Religion Billy Edgestitch and more now!

LA Made makes some of the greatest stylized cotton pieces, very stylish and hip and comfortable and it is no secret that they are making their clothes in the USA as well.







Other brands that have amazing clothes Made in the USA-Velvet, Sky, Fifteen Twenty and many more!


Shop Urban Minx now and keep your eyes out for the "Made in the USA" mention. We always include it whenever we can!

Got it LA Made


One of the dresses that is causing the biggest stir this season is the Gwenyth Dress by LA Made. It is one of those classic, soft, easy to wear and totally flattering dresses that is a reliable piece in your closet event after event. We received it in Black, Hydrangea, Coral, and Moss. Wear it with an Elise M Collection belt or without, either way looks great!

Some similar beautiful knit dresses have also arrived just in time for summer from Ella Moss and Michael Stars. Shop these dresses and more now at Urban Minx!

Lady in Lace


Lace is no longer something that just reminds you of your grandmother. The sheer antique- like detailing of lace on both clothing and accessories (like purses or headbands) makes a sharp feminine statement and we're loving it.


And lace in the daytime? Yes. Forget the notion that lace is reserved for romantic evenings and let it invade your daytime wardrobe. I adore the modern take on this Victorian era look.

If you're feeling hesitant about sporting lace, start small with a little lace trim or fringe, like on this LA Made Lorena Top, and move your way up to full lace garments in brighter colors, like Mischa Barton.

Best Under $100 : White Dresses vs Black Dresses

Each and every summer I find myself so elated with the change in weather and so tired of jeans I hunt down as many summer dresses as I can. As we all know, dresses can be expensive, so I've put together just a few that are under $100.

One of the biggest trends this summer is the white dress. There are some fun ruffled versions like Miss Me's Ruffle Front Dress in White , as well as sweet eyelet cotton dresses from BB Dakota and Double Zero.

The classic little black dress is also such an essential wardrobe piece. Great for any occasion and always flattering, find the black dress that best suits you and you'll end up wearing it again and again.


Looking for a bit of interest in your little black dress? Check out the subtle addition of sequins to Miss Me's Sequin Shoulder Dress or a fun tuxedo ruffle bust like Double Zero's Ruffle T-Back Dress.

Feeling like you need more than black or than white? Miss Me's Modern Print Dress is interesting and chic with a graphic, architectural design and Double Zero's fun Asymetrical Dot Dress plays up a fun print with a hot summer trend, one shoulder asymmetry.


Shop tons of amazing dresses now at urbanminx.com!

Trend Alert: Minmal Maxi

When Gwyneth Paltrow isn't dressed to the nines, she dons some equally chic daywear. While out celebrating her son's b-day, Gwyneth wore a simple maxi paired with tan Givenchy sandals. The look is effortless, understated, and the perfect look for one of those easy-going outings. When looking for an minimal effort maxi, lean towards simple cuts, good draping, and uncomplicated hues.

To get Gwen's look check out the Michael Stars Eva Maxi, LA Made Seamed Open Cardigan, and Deceitful Sandal from Nicole.

Tank Girl

There are few fashions on the market that could ever be called perennial, but the basic tank is truly one for all seasons and ages.

LA Made is brand best known for their brilliant-made basics, with their tanks being a particular favorite among Hollywood starlets in the market for comfort couture. Featuring myriad styles built to function with fashion on every frame, it's no wonder that LA Made tanks are the staple of choice.

Runway to Reality: Stellar Style


Stella McCartney is the queen of chic, sleek stylings so it's no wonder that she'd wear this streamlined look to her latest spring/summer show.

Lucky for you, it's fairly easy to replicate. For her high-fashion, high-waisted denim, Hudson has what you need in their Wide Leg Patch Jean - washed in the deep-sea shade of aquarius. Next, slip on this LA Made Double U Tank in a crisp white and top it off with Rock & Republic's smart Weston Jacket. Footwear should be functional but fun - try the Button Up Boot from Irregular Choice.
