Spotlight on Billy Blues

In these sometimes uncertain economic and social times I find myself looking for as many little ways that I can be part of solutions. I buy from local farmers and companies as much as possible, I carpool and recycle. Most of all, I look for as many products as I can that are made in the USA. This was difficult for me in the beginning, as I had never thought twice about utilizing the myriad of products the world had to offer from my penchant for silk from India to my thrice daily need for coffee imported from Brazil. However, once I started looking, I discovered a pretty wide range of products made and distributed in the USA. Here at Urbanminx, we carry Billy Blues, a line of clothing developed in the heart of America: Los Angeles. These high quality clothes use a range of fabrics, colors, and cuts that are wearable for both night and day and can easily be taken from work to a night on the town.

So you have a hot date on Friday, but you have to stay late at work for a last minute meeting? Don’t cancel or postpone, simply wear the Billy Blues Belted Wide Leg Trouser in Silver. Pair these gorgeous flared trousers with a Bordeaux Center Pinch Cami, which comes with a built in bra and stomach shaping capacities in a myriad of colors, and a fitted jacket like the Gabe B Blazer in black by Theory. The trousers have threads of shimmering silver running through them, making them girly enough to go out in and also making them compatible with a variety of heels like our Fiona Wedge in Patent Leather by Yellow Box or our Aurilla Shoe in Silver by Guess.

Even if you’re brain is numbed by the monotony of a work day and the late meetings, your fashion choices will still be red hot and you’ll be raring to go!! Another look I love for both the office and lunching with pals is the nautical theme that has hit the shelves for summer. The Patch Wide Leg in indigo by Billy Blues has the look of denim without the stiffness. The pants are made from a flowing fabric that I just love and the square pocket detail on the front captured my heart. The flattering, slimming cut can be worn with red heels and a cute striped shirt like our ¾ Sleeve Button Top in Lipstick by Splendid Clothing and you are ready to hit the high seas. Ahoy there, Mate!!
