Trend Alert: Heading West

Footwear is a big part of the fall season. From patterned statement pumps to fringed booties, this is the time of year when designers go all out and have a little fun.

In the fashion forefront is a footwear trend that's a little bit country, and little bit... well, you get the idea.

Pictured right are Rachel Bilson, Hilary Duff, and Sienna miller all rocking the latest western boot frenzy. We're loving Rachel's bold red boot, but the classic brown and beige worn by Hilary and Sienna make for a classic fall look.

Summer Styles Made Fall Friendly

While it's true that the weather is cooling down with the autumn months, that doesn't mean you'll have to surrender your favorite summer staples just yet. UrbanMinx has selected a handful of the top summer items that can keep you chic well into fall.

The Maxi- The maxi is the perfect warm weather piece, but because of its length, it's also easy to work into an autumn weather wardrobe. Switch out your sandals for an earthy looking boot like Old Gringo's Leopardito. You'll want to compliment the length of the dress with a long cardigan, and then balance out your body with a wide belt.

White Denim- This summer proved to be white hot, at least in the denim department. But this selfsame shade can also turn cool for the fall. Instead of matching it with summer brights, try darker shades of blue, gray, and black. Ditch the flip flops and instead opt for a sleek looking ankle booty.

Short Sleeved Styles- Count layering as your closest friend in this situation. Hardly limited to coats, you can really have fun when you layer your short sleeved styles with patterned undershirts like Splendid's Stripe Pullover or Pete's Henley Button Tee. For slightly more coverage, a cropped coat will do the job without overheating you.

Metallics- Metallics were the hot ticket last season, but its garish shine will have to be toned down as time goes on. Look to more muted metals, and only to accessorize, unless you've got brass enough to wear those outrageously gold leggings.

Jumpers- Much like the maxi, jumpers are easily suited to every season. For shorter styles, try an oversized sweater or vintage looking jacket and pair it with ankle boots and tights for a cute boho style. Longer jumpers look slightly more elegant, and a medium length cover-up will keep you balanced and warm. A belt is optional, since the waist is more defined than would be in a maxi, but it could be just the thing to complete your look.

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.

Staff Pick: Wild Goes West

Old Gringo caters to your exotic side with the Leopardito boot, fashioned with a leopard pattern distressed leather upper and outfitted on an aged leather sole. A perfect example of cowgirl chic, this beautifully constructed boot will have you high stepping in no time, and turning heads all the while.

UrbanMinx store manager Lindsey loves the Leopardito for its wild look, longevity, and unmatched comfort. With its soft leather lining, it slides right on and fits like a glove, without that nasty pinched toe or foot-bruising soles so often associated with the average western boot.
