Your April Showers Outfit

The promise of warm weather on the horizon has us impatiently counting the days to be able to wear our spring trend buys. But spring is not without it difficulties when it comes to planning your outfit for the day. If you are like me, you have already been caught leaving work in a skirt in a down pour with the morning gave prelude of a perfect spring day. instead of being stuck in the winter wear for another month, here are a few ways to work them in during the unstable weather months.

Peace in your spring buys with your winter wear. A bright purse will add instant cheer to your outfit.

Melie Bianco Charlotte Bag in Salmon, Juicy Couture Canvas Floral XL Daydreamer in Regal Multi, Ted Baker Bow Ikon Bag in Turquoise

Always bring a light jacket or cardigan! They're easily able to fit in a large purse. And it's better to have a little room taken up in your bag than to be stuck in the cold without a cover-up.

Tulle Safari Jacket in Khaki, Splendid Long Sleeve Pocket Cardigan in Military, Michael Starsw 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan in Heather

The only thing bad about the wide leg trend, is getting caught in the rain. If their is even a slight chance of rain chose the cropped trend to avoid drenched legs.

J Brand Inez Slim Fit Chino in Vintage Fawn, Juicy Couture Troupe Wool Pant in Castle Grey, Hudson Dundee Cargo in Wheat

Don't end up ruining your new footwear dashing through puddles. Opt for close toed booties, flats, or rubber heals!

Queen of Hearts

Twisted Heart has the ability to make any girl feel like royalty in their clothes and that's why they've been a Minx favorite for some time. We've recently acquired some great swag for the transitional period between Fall and Winter (and that's coming up fast!) so why not take a peek at our new wares:

We're loving the super-soft faux fur Twisted Heart Victoria Vest in Ash (also available in raw and black) as well as the Twisted Heart Aspen Jacket in Black also available in raw. Shop more fabulous Twisted Heart pieces at Urbanminx.com!

Zip It Up!

Zippers are all the rage right now and we at Urban Minx are hooked on them! From bags to dresses to jackets we've got a huge assortment of zipper gear. Our fave representatives from each category would be the Dylan Medium Tote in Black by Linea Pelle, which would look great draped over your shoulder when you wear the Simone Dress in Black by LA Made. Cover up in the Motocycle Jacket in Black by Kensie to complete the look!

Double Button, Double Fun!

With cold weather coming around the corner, it's important for a Minx to have her closet well stocked with cute jackets, so that's where the outerwear section comes in handy! The must-have for the Fall and Winter season is double-breasted jackets, a style that's classic, cute and especially warm. If you're looking for a more utilitarian jacket then the Faded Modern Magic Jacket in Dark Grey by Kensie is a good option. If you want something more flirty then the Ruffle Double Breasted Jacket in Eggplant by Tulle would look great with skinny jeans and boots. If a twist on a classic is what you're into then the Double Vin Coat in Hibiscus by Tulle will heat things up in any weather. Check out tons of other styles and colors of the double-breasted coat and jacket at UrbanMinx.com!

G-Star Raw

When I walk into a boutique the first thing I always look for is G-star Raw. Their line is original, raw, and slim fit. They carry amazing products from Jackets like this Morter Lumber Peacoat in Hide Brown.

Their raw denim (like these Stable Slim Jean in Park Wash) is amazing. All the quality details and stitching are eye catching. So why can't more guys look for the G-star Products and give more to themselves and others in their raw style

Recessionista Rules

Silhouettes aren’t the only slim thing in the fashion arena this season – budgets have become stiflingly slender, and fashion fans worldwide are feeling the pinch. And while we're all doing our best to bear it, some things just shouldn't be done without.

It's official - sensible is the new black. Feel free to skim over that flimsy overpriced frock or the patent pumps with the sky high heels. What every fashionista needs now is an investment.

My recommendation is to look for stylish staples to sustain your wardrobe well past this season. Think along the lines of a pair of well-made boots or a cute coat with solid coverage. Quality and versatility are a good way to get a lot of looks out of these two items alone, saving you money later on even if you splurge a little on them now.

Shop recession friendly boots and outerwear at UrbanMinx for a look that will last.

Staff Pick: Hit the Trenches

Minx style consultant Doug is in raptures over this G-Star Decoy Garber Trench fresh from the fashion frontlines. It carries that signature military edge that only G-Star can manage and a distinctly vintage vibe. The best part is that all these fun details are what's keeping the frostier bits of winter at bay- the raised collar is belted for a better fit and a set of sigularly angled pockets on the front are large enough to accommodate both weather-worried hands and your myriad daily essentials.
