Trend Spotting : Military Pieces We Love

We are crazy for military inspired pieces this fall. Wearing olives and blacks with hardware detail gives you a sense of confidence and strangely femininity. We've been getting in a steady stream of beautiful items with an army sensibility. Bailey 44 has created a striking group of clothes with this theme.

Of course heavyweights like Michael Stars and Splendid didn't miss out on this important trend for fall. They both delivered lovely olive greens and military design details.


If you're someone who loves the trend but refuses to go near the olive green color, consider wearing olive on the bottom, like this J Brand Twill Pencil skinny jean or try a black or grey military like style with hardware detail like the Yoana Baraschi Charm Cadet Knit Coat in Black or Juicy Couture's Band Jacket in Driftwood.


Check out these styles and more military inspired pieces at Urban Minx!

Simply Splendid

The super soft supima cotton and modal tops, cardigans, and bottoms from Splendid are the must have simple, yet extremely luxurious pieces of the season. Check out the Light Jersey Pocket Tee in Carbon. 

Try it with dark leggings and you'll love the fashion forward extra long draping sides.

Another favorite? Also from Splendid, the Linen Cropped Pants in Black.

Light weight and perfect for the hot weather, they are great with wedges or flats. Browse all the new pieces from Splendid at UrbanMinx!

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

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.

Learning your lines: How to Wear Stripes

When paired with the right pieces, stripes can really enhance your figure and keep you looking up-to-date. We’ve compiled a few tips to follow so that you too can wear this flattering and fun summer trend.

• The best road to take is to wear just one striped piece matched with a solid. For example, a vertically striped blouse like Ben Sherman's Westminster Top or a layer like the Bailey 44 Bus Vest looks great with white trousers or jeans.

• Vertically striped skirts of pants like the Georgie Cocktail Trouser make you look trim and tall when worn with a solid tee.

• For dresses, avoid horizontal stripes that widen your shape - unless you have a boyish figure and need to create some curves like in this Bailey 44 Stripe Daddy Dress, which enhances and elongates the frame with both horizontal and vertical stripes.

• If you simply can’t part with that horizontal style despite the presence of curves, either choose something draped like the Ella Moss Aggy Tank, or try the 1-size-up rule to minimize clinging and curb that widening effect.

• Ultra thin stripes like the ones in this White Stripe Tank from Splendid should only be worn by ultra thin women. Curvier gals should stick to wider stripes, and in darker shades too, to minimize their shape.

On the runways this season, designers were mixing wide and thin stripes or combining stripes with other patterns for a modern look. This bold combination can be found in Miss Me’s Striped Sailor Hoodie and their matching Striped Sailor Short.
