Celebrity Style: Paris Hilton in Hale Bob

The Paris Hilton of today is a different creature than I remember.

Hale Bob is known for their luxurious pieces that have definite class and it's nice to see Paris wearing them. She was spotted wearing the Hale Bob Feather Wrap Dress which I fell in love with when we received it here at Urban Minx in both Neutral and Blue. The perfect flattering wrap dress to wear and feel both beautiful and comfortable.

Prints and Texture

Prints and texture are hitting the runway big this season. And who better captures this trend than Hale Bob? They always bring a new array of patterns and colors that will guarantee you to stand out above the masses.



I'm loving the Corey Burnout V Neck in Grey. The basic color of the dress is unexpectedly transformed by the alternating textures in the material.

The bold colors of the South of the Border Dress in Multi is also right on point for spring. You are guaranteed to stand out in this dress, in a very good way.

Heidi Klum meets both young, up and coming designers as well as well established, highly successful ones through both her modeling and Project Runway. I can only imagine the amount of clothes that are sent to her to wear and that's why I love to see her wearing a brand we minxes love, Hale Bob.

We just got in a fresh spring delivery and the dress she's wearing is a similar style to the Hale Bob Velvet Kimono Sleeve Burnout Dress in Teal. This is a top selling Hale Bob style we sell tons of season after season. In addition to the classics there are new boho luxe maxi dresses in a beautiful neutral and coral and a sweet ruffled "Spring Fling" Dress in Green.

All Hale Bob

Loosely name after the rare comet, Hale Bopp, this LA based company (founded by brothers Daniel and Marc Bohbot) is an expert on one of a kind specialty pieces.

Simultaneously feminine and sassy, anything from Hale Bob is versatile and embodies flirtatious individuality.

Interestingly enough, one of the brothers stated, "I see women in restaurants and clubs wear their clothes in ways that actually inspire the runways, instead of the other way around." Real life fashion is the muse for these designers and what lovely pieces it has inspired.

Like Coco Chanel said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

Though Hale Bob just took it's first steps in 2000, the top women in Hollywood already don and adore the soft silks and exotic prints. Looks like this rare comet won't be fading.

One of our newest Hale Bob dresses has captured the eye of Bend Minx Leslye!

Staff Pick: Velvet Craving

Sun Valley Minx Larkin enjoys items that can be worn all year long, which is why she loves the Hale Bob Velvet Burnout Halter- the velvet has a very rich, sensuous cold weather feel, but when the weather warms up, it it will be a great item for a night out dancing. Larkin would wear the Burnout Halter with a pair of dark skinny jeans (the Red Engine Cayennes are her favorite).

What to Wear: Date Night

Dressing for a date always depends on the occasion, but we've managed to put something together which will hopefully keep you covered in everything short of extreme skydiving.

The trick is to find that perfect balance between sexy, sophisticated, and sweet. The Velvet Burnout Halter from Hale Bob boasts all three elements with a sultry cut, decadent fabric, and sugar sweet pattern in pink. If you're in a colder clime, Nougat's Lambswool Cardigan will not only keep you warm but will also leave the outfit at a lower key without looking conservative - at least until the fun starts.

Of course you'll want to present your most flattering figure possible, so don't balk at wearing a skinny jean. The Red Engine Cayenne Skinny has an especially forgiving form which caters to every body type. Add a pair of peep toes like these Bukala heels will have your legs looking sky high.

Because the top is busy, accessories should be understated. A simple leather tote like the edgy Turnlock Hobo Bag from Juicy Couture would be just right. Jewelry choice allows for some wiggle room, but be sure to choose something in the same colour family as your outfit that represents your personality well.

Hale Bob for the Holidays

Trade Up Your Tank

The days of the plain old tank are tired and your summer look is due for an update, which is why UrbanMinx has collected their top tank styles to help you say no to bland basics.

Metallic Accents This Hale Bob Silk Charmeuse Top carries a taste of the exotic with antiqued metal beading set against a rich shade of cobalt. Banding around the base of the straps changes up the average shape generally attributed to tank styles, and the silhouette flows into a looser look than the conventional tank.

Bold Prints Styles like this Kowboys Berkley Tank stand on their own with eye-catching prints that can be anything from floral to burnout. The semi-sheer element makes it a prime layering piece, with a wide use of colors, making it easy to wear with a myriad of shades.

Rhinestones and Beading The accents found on tops like this Twisted Heart Berrylicious Tank are an easy way to accessorize your tank style without having to actually worry about choosing (or losing) jewelry. They infuse the tank with a natural glamour that is both eye-catching and effortless.

Ruffled Details No matter where applied or in what amount, ruffles will add a decided femininity to your tank like they do this KensieGirl Tank. It's recommended that the rule of 'less is more' be followed, as ruffles tend to emphasize the area their applied to, at the risk of broad shoulders, bellies, and busts being enhanced to an unflattering scale.

Buttons Sometimes a tank will have a small row of unassuming buttons set just below the neckline, or lined along a demure placket in the front, but if you really want to stand out in your tank style, you'll opt for something like this Bailey 44 Reign of Terror Tank. The buttons are the main feature of the tank, contrasting in color and size against the fabric to draw the eye.

Printed Graphics Printed graphics the most common detailing one sees on a tank, but that's because it's the kind of detail that with unlimited style opportunities, and is easily catered to the tastes of the wearer. This Superdry Mixer Print Tank is an ideal example, with a distressed, vintage style graphic wholly unique to this particular tank.

Embroidery Tops which incorporate embroidery like this Twisted Heart Flora Tank achieve an almost organic, old-world vibe with the incorporation of texture with style. The embroidery can either stand out in sharp contrast with the field in which it's been stitched, or blend in harmony with other accents. Either way, the stylization stands out.
