Sweet, Sexy and Retro: Stop Staring!

I love the dresses from Stop Staring. They remind of the dresses of the 30s or 40s...some time when women dressed in heels and tailored garments and wore red lipstick and carefully styled their hair to fall in shiny unmoving waves.

Stop Staring! Or Don't....

Stop Staring is known for retro chic dresses that are extremely flattering and show a woman's unique sense of style.  I love the way they play up a woman's curves in a beautiful way that exudes confidence.  The Priscila Dress in Wallflower is a classic style in a sweet pink and black floral print.  For women with a love of vintage secretary style the Juicy Dress in Black and Pink is another stylish choice.  For something a bit sexier the Million Dollar Baby Dress is sleek and form fitting.  Shop these Stop Staring styles and more at Urban Minx now!  *aw

Seeing Red

My closet used to be filled with red. Red dresses, red shoes, red tops, red everything. Yes, I was a bit obsessed. The time came for me to move on, to get rid of all the red in my closet and give other colors a chance.

That was years ago, and now I look longingly in my closet and realize what I need is some red! Red is making a strong comeback and I plan on being on board.

Mad for Stop Staring

A recent Mad Men episode saw Christina Hendricks' character Joan Holloway dressed to the nines in quintessential vintage Stop Staring style.

Pictured right in Stop Staring's Jasmin Dress, Hendricks was all coquettish curves and slick satin - a stunner in the height of retro-chic.

Shop this Mad maven's style at UrbanMinx.

Ladies in Red

In all the Swiftgate drama that dropped at this week's VMAs, the event's fashions all but fell through the cracks.

But we at UrbanMinx have got to give some kudos on that stand-out shade being rocked by both Beyonce and the gracious Miss Taylor Swift.

Hot rod red is the bold new shade of the season, and we're loving the grace with which both ladies wore it. Step out in this stunning style by shopping frocks like the Kensie Tuxedo Dress in Scarlet or the Million Dollar Baby Dress from Stop Staring.

An Extra Dose of Stop Staring

Watch out Ashley Greene! Paris Hilton is well on her way to becoming Stop Staring's next top spokesmodel.

Having been seen previously in several styles by the vintage-styled brand, Paris has now made a guest appearance on NBC's Extra, standing alongside Mario Lopez in Stop Staring's coquettish Lura Dress.

Right before the show, Miss Hilton twittered about her love for the brand, enthusing about their sexy 40s and 50s pin-up looks.

Viva Velour

UrbanMinx and Juicy Couture are out to give you an early jump on all of your favorite fall looks! Just arrived is a full line of fresh Juicy velour styles and shades, fit to tickle every fancy.

Pictured left is Ashley Greene of Twilight and New Moon (also a model for Stop Staring!), looking luxe at LAX. Shop the classic velour style she's sporting or some of Juicy Couture's updated designs from their newest fall collection here at UrbanMinx.

Ashley Greene for Stop Staring!

Rockabilly brand Stop Staring! has just released their Alice Dress! Besides bringing out the best of 1950s chic, the Alice Dress was inspired by and named specifically for their model Ashley Greene, who also starred as Alice in the cult film Twilight.

UrbanMinx offers this deliciously vintage frock along with a wide selection of Stop Staring!'s other top styles. Try the Alice for a turnaround on the classic little black dress, or the new Jasmin, which both creates and conceals curves to form the most flattering figure possible.

Each of Stop Staring!'s styles are fit to burst with vintage personality, and promises that your public won't want to take their eyes off of you!

Frill Thrill

Girls will fall head-over-heels for the romance of this spring’s ruffle trend. More commonly seen on ultra-feminine frocks like the Miss Me Empire Waist Chiffon Dress or the sugary Flame and Flower Dress by Bailey 44, the look is ultimately versatile and can be styled to suit every personality.

An edgier look has been captured in the Bailey 44's Stolen Bride Dress as well as Juicy Couture's Ruffled Silk Chiffon Dress, the dark shades enhanced by the bold texture that the ruffles provide. And Stop Staring! gets positively saucy with their Bonita Dress.

Ruffles can be casual too. Combine something sweet and simple like the Pete Chloe Ruffle Top or [RYU:]'s Floral Shoulder Strap Top with your favorite pair of skinnies and the perfect peep-toe pump and you're set to jet.

Whether you wear them outrageously oversized or soft and subtle, ruffles will add a flouncy feminine touch to your look this season.

Stop Staring (but not really)!

Congratulations! You’ve made it to Christmas with your sanity intact. Perhaps even now you’re cozying up to a crackling fire in a fit of blissful holiday exhaustion, but the season’s far from over yet! You’ve got to kick up those heels and find your perfect dress to celebrate a rock’n New Year’s Eve. Just consider it your first resolution to infuse this fresh start with high fashion.

Party provocateurs will appreciate the vintage-chic stylings of Stop Staring! Dresses. The Stop Staring!’s Carmen is a sultry spin on the little black dress with a flattering sweetheart neckline and smart cap sleeves, with the Lana a sensational embodiment of the glamorous fifties in all of its sass and class. The irony of Stop Staring is that simply no one will be able to when you enter a room.

Retro as the Future of Fashion

A far cry from the futuristic bent experienced by the fashion world last fall, this season is all about embracing a decadent past, from the golden eras of the forties and fifties, all the way back to our Victorian fashion forebears.

Tuck away the micros and minis, the minimalist and mass produced product. Here's a trend without boundaries, and one a gal can have fun with.

If you're in the mood for the romantic vibe, look for lace, leather, and fringe. Earth tones and soft ivories are the hottest hues. Don't be afraid to play with texture and colour to create a look all your own. As long as there's a single cohesive element, you can't go wrong. Juicy Couture has a handle on the fairytale face of fashion accessories, with their vintage-inspired Royal Leather Clutch in Black or Rose, Royal Boho Charm Bracelet, and Cameo Wish Necklace.

On the other side of the style spectrum is the mod and cocktail attire. Saucy slim-cut dresses pepper this trend, along with flirty prints and feminine florals, all in rich colours of sophistication. Chunky statement jewelry is a must to complete your look of old Hollywood shine. Take a gander at rockabilly chic brand Stop Staring!'s new Carmen Dress in Black or Max & Cleo's Sleeveless Smoking Dress in Black to jump-start your style.

Don't Stop Staring!

Vintage-inspired clothing has long been leaking its way into mainstream fashion. Exemplified by such glamour icons as the saucy Dita Von Teese, this pin-up Old Hollywood type of chic oozes sex appeal and elegance. For years, one label, Stop Staring!, has been at the forefront of this retro-tinged trend and as a result, has been embraced by rockabilly girls and stylish celebs all over the world.
Stop Staring! dresses are classy, timeless, and sexy. Girls just love the comfort and ease of an incredible fit, and of course all the positive attention. Stop Staring! is known to turn heads with its beautiful dresses in great cuts.
Stop Staring!’s latest celebrity appearance was in Zooey Deschanel’s new film, “The Go-Getter,” released in major cities in June of ’08.
