2011 Trend Spotting: Oxfords

Last fall I fell in love with the oxford trend but wasn't sure if it was just a crush that would pass and I would be left with a pair of shoes I never wore....since then my love of oxfords has only grown and I am kicking myself for not procuring a pair for myself already. Now I am on the hunt and luckily we just received some new Nicole oxfords in.

Celebrities definitely adore their oxfords and it's interesting to see the different ways they choose to wear them. Of course Katy Perry takes hers up a notch by being bright blue, but I love the simple and elegant way Katie Holmes wears both her black pair (with leggings) and tan pair (with rolled up boyfriend jeans). Blake Lively's version of the oxford is uptown while Rosario Dawson's is definitely downtown. Both look fabulous. Sienna Miller provides the London oxford look while Whitney Port gives the style a youthful, fun punch.

Check out Nicole oxfords, both the Kindle style and the Eager Oxford. Shop them now at Urban Minx!

Celebrity Style: Katie Holmes Wears the Pants

I am absolutely in love with men's style oxfords for women right now.  I can't wait to wear a pair this fall with some rolled jeans, a la Katie Holmes.  My favorite pair right now is the Nicole Kindle Oxford Shoe in Grey (also available in Black and Dark Brown).  At only $99 it's an amazing deal too!
Wear the Rich and Skinny Laid Back Boyfriend Jean for a cool rolled jean with the added touch of distressing. 
Top it off with the Kensie Big Gingham Shirt that has a beautiful feminine fit and grab a belt with a nice wide strap like the Tobacco Road Lombardi Belt in Brown.

Shop this Look!!!

There are so many things to love about this look that I saw on a recent Denimology blog!  I love that the shorts are G-Star, although we don't have this style in G-Star we do have a True Religion pair that is a dead ringer, the Blaire Boyfriend Fit Short in Dakota Sky.  For the more daring we have shorter version of this short is the True Religion Kiera Short in Dakota. 
We have got heaps of cool belts, but I think the Elise M Collection Amelia Belt in Black is the closest if feel to this belt (even if it is black!). 
Pair this with your favorite white tank or one with a bit of detail.  We have tons of tanks, with or without details like rhinestones, lace or ruffles to make it a more personalized choice if you like. 
Top it off with a cardigan in a bold stripe, like the Michael Stars Stripe Pocket Cardigan, the Juicy Couture Striped Military Cardigan, or the Long Sleeve Grandfather Cardigan in Confection and Navy. 
I like to think that at the bottom of this picture, the part we can't see, that she's wearing some awesome ankle boots, like the Nicole Passionate Boot in Black!

Celebrity Style: Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has such a fresh, pretty style.  We loved her in this Splendid Jersey Tunic in Navy, perfect to wear with a pair of rolled denim shorts like Juicy Couture's Sophie Short in Bolinas or the Hudson Croxley Short in Kilburn.  Pair them with the Nicole Hot N Heavy Sandal in Butterscotch to complete your look.  Shop this look and more at Urban Minx!  *aw
