Get a Leg up on Fall Fashion!

With Fall virtually upon us it seems like there's a mad rush to toss out skirts and throw on pants, but if the skirt is still cute why nix it? If you're the kind of girl who thinks a skirt is an all year round piece then we have great news for you: Urban Minx just got in new cozy leg wear that will all look great under your skirts or shorts!

While the weather is still warm enough why not try Michael Stars' Black Lace Tights under a tulip skirt and patterned shirt with some flats and a light-weight jacket. When it cools down a bit throw on these Cashmere Tights in Black or Cashmere Tights in Grey, both by Michael Stars, for a luxuriously warm season.

Staff Pick: Cashmere Cozy

Anyone who has lived in a cold climate will have at least once thought (though most will never admit it) about buying a Snuggie. Creative Manager Amara has fallen for the much less less extreme Long Sleeve Cocoon Cardigan from Michael Stars.

Crafted from a weighty cashmere blend, the Cocoon Cardigan is elegantly draped but not at all shapeless. Amara loves the Cocoon Cardigan for its snuggle (not Snuggie) factor and relaxed fit, and how the neutral heather shade is so easily matched with just about everything.

Gift Idea: Jet-Setter

Sometimes it's hard to shop for a girl on the go. Always darting from place to place and experiencing new things, she's the kind who either goes for something eye-catching or entirely au courant.

For the jet-setter in your life, I recommend something to get her to her destination with style and ease like the Juicy Underground Tote. It's a roomy tote with a hint of rock & roll.

Hopping from climate to climate will have her craving a simple way to get warm and comfortable. The Joystick Cardigan from Line is a lush cashmere blend that's lightweight, easy to layer, and won't take up too much room on your carry-on.

And every girl loves a little glitter. This Mini Charm Travel Bracelet from Juicy is just the thing for a woman about the world, decorated with minute charms set in the travel theme.

Banishing Bulk

The September issue of Vogue saw celebs dishing on what to wear when it comes to basics with Glamour stylists giving pro tips on everything from leggings to office appropriate boho attire.

One tip we feel we can't live without this fall is that of pulling off the baggy look without losing shape (keeping one element of your ensemble on the slimmer side).

The ideal look is shown using bag cropped boyfriend jeans, a Juicy Couture fitted blazer, and a Splendid tank to go underneath.

Still worried about getting lost under baggy layers? Shop Cashmere at UrbanMinx to stay warm without the bulk.

Celebrity Sighting: Rebecca Gayheart

Hollywood mom-to-be Rebecca Gayheart was spotted wearing this ultra-comfy cardigan on her way to a pre-natal yoga session.

The cardigan in question is none other than Michael Stars' Open Hooded Wrap. The relaxed fit and cashmere blend composition makes it the perfect fall layering piece - providing warmth without ungainly bulk.

Warm Fuzzies

As the winter weather musters to bluster, it’s time to don the tiresome layers to stave off the cold.

Don’t get me wrong – layering is my favorite part of the season. But have you ever reached that point where you’ve got so many thick-knit pieces on that the words ‘abominable’ and ‘snowman’ come to mind?

If you’d rather not think of your weather-conscious style as a weight on your shoulders, I recommend a considerably more effective (and lightweight) approach. Instead of cumbersome cotton, why not try cashmere this time around?

On top of being unbelievably soft, cashmere is best known for its ability to provide natural light-weight insulation without bulk. That is, cashmere is about eight times warmer than an equal amount of cotton. And when properly taken care of, cashmere clothing carries a long lifespan.
