UrbanMinx Gets Lucky

UrbanMinx hit the glossies in style this month!

Featured between the pages of July's edition of LuckyMagazine, UrbanMinx has been named amid their list of web pages which included "the biggest and best selections of way-affordable stuff."

UrbanMinx was listed as an "accessory-heavy spot" which showcased "bohemian Melie Bianco totes and strappy Dolce Vita sandals."

Come see what all the hype is about and check out our latest accessories here at UrbanMinx Online.

Staff Pick: Couture Aweigh

Summer is all about sun, sand and sailor chic! This Juicy Sailor Short finds its roots the nautical uniforms of the 1940s and has a quirky vintage vibe in its saucy silver buttons and cuff details. Wear it over your favorite retro bather or with a tailored shirt for day wear.

The short is paired here with Twisted Heart's Jewel Wedge in Navy for a kind of laidback luster, but you can easily play this piece up with a pair of swanky heels like the Lassie Sandal in Bleach from BCBG or a bright flat like Dolce Vita's Olive Patent Flat in Red.

Couture Shock

Moving away from the dusky tones that were popular in the Autumn/Winter shows of 2008, fashion for spring ‘09 is set to be retro and neon bright.

This trend is all about confident girls who aren't afraid to dress boldly. Show your true colours with Ben Sherman's Westminster Shirt in an arresting shade of Pink or Inky Blue, or dress up the look with the Embellished Tulip Silk Shift Dress in Tang by Hale Bob.

If you’re always reaching for the safer neutrals in your closet, now is the time jolt to your basics with a punchy shade. It's easy to adjust the intensity to suit your mood. Combine neutral basics with flashes of neon accessories like Hobo's Reliable Belt in Mulberry or Juicy Couture's Free Style Tassel Bag in Buttercup.

Feel free to spread the style past your clothing choices. A cute flat in a bright shade like the Dolce Vita Olive Patent Flat in Orchid or a flaring shade of lipstick (I recommend the Napoleon Perdis DéVine Goddess Lipstick in Hara) will cause any outfit to flare with life.
