Celebrity Style: Nikki Reed

On a West Hollywood shopping trip, Twilight star Nikki Reed showed off her hip, young style by wearing one of our most coveted Juicy Couture pieces: the Striped Military Cardigan in Heather and Black.

To complete this look we would start with the Michael Stars Lace Beater Tank in White, great to pair with a must have for the season, Juicy Couture's Sophie Short in Bolinas.

Pull on a pair of Nicole Boomer boots to finish of the look of cool young Hollywood.

Get This Casual 70's Look.

This 70's inspired look is right on trend for spring. I love how she's able to achieve the nostalgic feel of the era without looking like to going to a casting call for That 70's Show. This layered back outfit is easy to achieve. Try wide leg jeans with a basic loose fitting tee and accessories with a studded belt and patterned scarf.

All American Made Fashion

Being able to buy products made in America is a great feeling, and when I started to really look at the number of designer brands we carry that has their production done in the USA (either all or a percentage of their production) I was impressed. I know it's hard for lines to stay competitive by manufacturing in the USA and so I love it when they are able to. And you don't have to sacrifice fashion either! It's the best of both worlds. Shop our Made in the USA category for just some of the hundreds of products that we carry that are made in America. You can see brands like Bailey 44, 7 For All Mankind, Hudson Jeans, True Religion, Michael Stars and Sky that produce if not all then primarily in the US.

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.

Close Knit


I love these months of late fall when you can begin to feel a chill in the air and it makes you want to cozy up with a sweater wrap by the fire or brave the cold with your soft knit cap and scarf. There are tons of beautiful knits for the season from Michael Stars, Juicy Couture and more. Shop sweaters, hats and scarves and more cozy pieces to stay warm this winter!

Hats off to Michael Stars


This past Summer season we saw a lot of Michael Stars and his cheery colors, shimmery fabrics and flirty designs, but now that we're moving into Fall it's time he delivered something new...and he has!

We have a whole treasure trove of Fall and Winter accessories to get you ready for the cold weather courtesy of Michael Stars. A few we'd like to showcase are his sensational slouch hats like the Cashmere Slouch Hat in Charcoal also available in heather, black and vanilla.

Add a pair of slouchy arm warmers like Slouchy Armwarmers in Charcoal (also in heather, black and vanilla) to keep your mitts warm during the colder days. Finish the look off with a fluffy scarf like Coziest Cable Eternity Scarf in Vanilla or in heather.

Accessorizing with Scarves


This Fall marked the debut of some great scarves with killer prints, but a trend we're noticing is instead of flashy bright colors, designers opted to use cooler, more Winter themed hues.

When you've got nothing but a simple white tee and a black jacket a scarf like Dusk Plaid Eternity Scarf in Black by Michael Stars draws attention to the pleasant plaid pattern and instantly adds flair to your ensemble.

Calligraphy Scarf in Black by Michael Stars looks great over a black dress with a leather jacket and some brown boots.

If you need something a little more feminine then Poppin Paisley Tapestry Scarf in Galvanized by Michael Stars evokes memories of Spring and looks wonderful with a tank top, hoodie and newsboy cap.

However you want to dress up (or down) these scarves are the perfect accessory for the season!

Trend Spotting : Military Pieces We Love

We are crazy for military inspired pieces this fall. Wearing olives and blacks with hardware detail gives you a sense of confidence and strangely femininity. We've been getting in a steady stream of beautiful items with an army sensibility. Bailey 44 has created a striking group of clothes with this theme.

Of course heavyweights like Michael Stars and Splendid didn't miss out on this important trend for fall. They both delivered lovely olive greens and military design details.


If you're someone who loves the trend but refuses to go near the olive green color, consider wearing olive on the bottom, like this J Brand Twill Pencil skinny jean or try a black or grey military like style with hardware detail like the Yoana Baraschi Charm Cadet Knit Coat in Black or Juicy Couture's Band Jacket in Driftwood.


Check out these styles and more military inspired pieces at Urban Minx!

Celebrity Style: Jessica Alba


Jessica Alba's casual, day-to-day outfit featuring 7 For All Mankind jeans is an easy style to steal for yourself.

Start off with a pair of distressed denim jeans like Straight Leg in San Clemente from 7 For All Mankind. The comfortable fit and mild distressing add a lot of character to these jeans and will make them a quick favorite in your closet.

Top it off (literally) with a loose white tee or tank like Racerback Tank in White w Pocket by Michael Stars and wear a grey cardigan like our Pyramid Stud Cardigan in Heather by Central Park West. Finish the looks with an eye-catching scarf like Burnout Scarf in Foggy Pink/Turquoise from Erge.

Back to the Fuchsia!

One color that's always going to be a girl's favorite is pink, and one trend we're seeing now is a play on pink hues like rosebud, jewel, fuchsia and hot pink! With colder months approaching pinks are going to stand out during the dreary days, so check out some of our pink merchandise:

Charlene 3/4 Sleeve Tee in Rosebud by Charlotte Tarantola is a top in a color that will make you happy just looking at it. Try pairing it with a pair of jeans like Siganture Bootcut Jeans in Ascot from Hudson Jeans.

Zig Zag Weave Coat in Hot Pink by Tulle is in a hue so hot it will melt the snow! They would look good in a pair of leggings like Denim Leggings w Snaps in Gardner from Juicy Couture.

Wide Band Deep-V in Jewel by Michael Stars is a well-fitted deep-V top that will make you shine like a gem whenever you have it on. You might want to try a pair of Pocket Bootcut in Dark 40B by Miss Me to create a cute and casual outfit.

Best Fit: Skirts

We minxes come in all shapes and sizes, so that can make shopping a bit of a problem for us. Especially in the Summer when we want to show off our assets, but not in the wrong or unflattering skirts and dresses. However, there are a few tried and true classics you can always follow to make sure you look your best!



If you're more of an apple shape (bigger at the top than the bottom) then a structured skirt is best to help give you a slender belly and sleek looking legs. A few favorites pieces from our store would be the Ember Skirt in White by BB Dakota because it's tailored, yet with the lace it's playful. The High Waisted Pencil Skirt in Grey by Billy Blues is a great at work skirt that's flattering on your tummy and hugs you in all the right places.

If you're more of a pear shape (bigger at the bottom than the top) then an A-line skirt is your best bet to accentuate your waist and hide your hips.Try the Pleated Pocket Skirt in Black by Michael Stars for a fun, flouncy day look. The Shadow Skirt in Black by Kensie is a good alternative to pants when you're at work.

Highly Waisted

In the past few years we've seen a return of the high waist skirt and trouser- a look many are on the fence about. But when thoughtfully paired with the right top, shoes (maybe simple flats), and accessories, this look is not just a blast from the past, but a fashion forward statement that will surely catch eyes. Try a simple tank, like Lauren Conrad, if you are sporting a bold color. For simpler high waisted pieces, like the Shelby Tulip Skirt in Black from Michael Stars, go for a fun blouse and statement jewelry.
Tell us your thoughts on the high waisted look!
