| Legwarmers (revamped) |

Whether it’s thigh-high knitted socks, lacy knee highs, or last spring’s bike short under dresses/shorts/skirt trend, this new era of legwarmers are definitely making a comeback for Fall 2010.
As temperatures cool down, make that wardrobe evolution easy and effective. First get yourself some bike shorts, we said it, either lace ($40 by Only Hearts), mesh, or spandex, and pair them with denim cutoffs or a floral frock. For, a date night, rock some knee-high sheer socks ($14 at Urban Outfitters) with a pair of vintage boots and you’re good to go. Next, go for some thigh highs ($14 at Urban Outfitters, and no, not like a hooker) to jazz up that outfit and keep those stems warm for a night on the town. Coordinate with temperatures accordingly and you’re set for fall!

| Lady & Ruin, All the Rage |

Presenting “Lady & Ruin,” the newest affordable jewelry line brought to us Angeleno’s by the other coast. Melissa Limoncelli, Graduate of 2005 from New York’s esteemed Parsons, has managed to create a cohesive collection of effortlessly cool jewelry.
From the uber trendy three-finger rings, head-turning spiked bangles, mixed-metal necklaces, and glitzy stud earrings, “Lady & Relic” is the hottest (and most reasonable – prices range from $35 to $650) jewelry line to grab our attention since Nicole Richie’s “House of Harlow” first debuted. Every piece (delineated by each of the subcategories: Tribalista, Sugar & Spykes, Urban Warrior, Rebel Simple, and Mon Petit Charms), reflects that of a modern minx – timeless beauty with a whole lot of edge.
Our picks include: The Chain Gang Bangle ($150) is a more feminine piece that shimmers delicately on your wrist while the Call Me Petit Spyke Bangle ($180) gives a nod to punk rock. The Tangled In You Necklace ($595), with its tangled mess of metals and silver is just perfect – see for yourself.
Limoncelli says she “aimed to create modern relics — durable pieces that pay homage to ageless standards of quality while offering a current perspective for a new generation of women.” And she’s done just that. Get yourself a custom-designed geometric mixed-metal ring (via her website) and you’ll easily take that ensemble to a whole new level of cool.

Get her hat here.

| All The Rage: Linda Farrow Shades |

Linda Farrow was the go-to-gal for stellar sunglasses in the ’70s, (of such magnitude that Yoko Ono was her number one client). The ’90s came and the shades vanished (as all fashion trends come to an end at some point). But, some do resurface in later years and Linda Farrow’s shades have undoubtedly done just that in a big way for good reason.
In 2003, Farrow’s son Simon Jablon found a hidden catalogue of over 2000 vintage styles in the family’s Islington, London warehouse. What was a fellow to do with such vast unseen beauty? Mass produce and sell it, of course. And with these revived 2000 or so vintage sunglasses back on the shelves and onto beautiful faces, came widespread attention from consumers, the media and celebrities. Luckily, the revival of Linda Farrow sunglasses meant thousands and thousands of styles to choose from thanks to special collaborations with Luella, Lady Gaga, Jeremy Scott, Sophia Kokosalaki, House of Holland, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row, and Dries Van Noten; as well as a host of fashionistas including Kate Moss, Nicole Richie and Sienna Miller.
Check out the site and see for yourself: every pair is exquisitely crafted and oozing with edge. Once you see these babies, you will just adore ALL of them, one pair won’t be enough. You may find yourself having to resort to doing the “eeny-meeny-miny-moe” method just to narrow down the selection and make a decision (and it’ll suffice, every pair is just fucking awesome).

We know it’s almost summer and for most of us minxes that means our day-to-day style remains in work mode, but that doesn’t mean we can’t add a little sunshine to our closet. Naturally, the (usually) conservative dresses get a bit shorter and the blazers go back into the winter closet. We scoured designers’ lookbooks for the cutest must-haves for every minx’s budget, check it out.
