All American Made Style

What better time to think about buying products made in the USA than right now!

Many brands today have designers who care about making things locally to support our economy and to provide jobs here.

As we're celebrating the 4th of July lets remember how important is to buy American made products.

There are lots of very on-trend, stylish brands that put out amazing quality clothes and I wanted to highlight just a few that we have here!

Starting out pretty literally, Junk Food's USA Mickey Tee is a cute and playful vintage inspired piece Made in the USA.



The Ella Moss Pandra Top in Black is a beautiful, classic black shirt with sweet lace detailing. The fabric is light and easy for hot summer days.

One of our most popular denim brands, True Religion, also makes their jeans in the USA, giving us one more reason to love them. Shop the True Religion Billy Edgestitch and more now!

LA Made makes some of the greatest stylized cotton pieces, very stylish and hip and comfortable and it is no secret that they are making their clothes in the USA as well.







Other brands that have amazing clothes Made in the USA-Velvet, Sky, Fifteen Twenty and many more!

Inspiration: The Chain Gang

We've received some beautiful pieces lately from MM Couture by Miss Me and Sky, both with lovely chain detailing. When I came across images from Armor Jewelry I noted a distinct similarity between the designs. Designer Sandee Shin sells Armor Jewelry out of New York and pieces retail from $80-$460. MM Couture's Chain Back Top in Black retails at just $84! A great way to have expensive New York style at a fraction of the cost. Shop MM Couture by Miss Me and Sky at urbanminx.com!

Blue Sky Ahead

One of the first pieces I bought from UbranMinx was a coral tube top from Sky that I still adore to this day. The goddess like pieces from the LA company are a must for every girl.
Sky has always been fashion forward with their eye catching, exotic embellishments. Sky tops and dresses have been seen on celebrities in over twenty-five movies and television shows and it's hard not to feel like a celebrity when wearing anything from Sky. The snug fit and long flowing fabric had me instantly.
Feeling like your wardrobe could use a little something from Sky? Check out these celestial tones to create that starry look. Tell us your Sky experiences!!

Ask Elyse: Lost in the Layers

Dear Elyse,

I just bought the Vavavoom Sky dress and its too cold to wear it alone just yet. Would it be fashion savvy to wear a back t-shirt under it until warmer weather?

Thanks,

Tammy

Dear Tammy,

The Vavavoom is piece I'd want to wear right away too, but I think a tee with the wrong collar and composition might clash with the dress.

If you're going to opt for a tee I suggest wearing one with a neckline cut like and close to the same level of the top of the dress, with middling sleeves for the best balance. Also, if the fabric of the tee is too heavy it will look mismatched, so I recommend finding a tee with a similar spandex blend.

Instead of layering under you might try wearing a simple draped cardigan or cropped sweater over the dress - you'll be able to adjust to temperature changes with greater ease and it will give you a more cohesive look.

Hope this helps,
Elyse
