As many of you Butter-Converts already know, Butter by Nadia’s convertible dresses are an investment, but worth every penny. The jersey is specially made just for the line and made to last; one-size-fits-most means it stretches a lot but always holds its shape (perfect for changing body shapes and lending to friends). The raw-edged hem makes an easy task of cutting it off at the perfect length for your height.
Fold over the top of this dress to make it midi-length or a maxi skirt; fold it over even more to make a fab little knee-length dress. Any way you wear her, she’ll spin like a dream and you won’t be able to get that Butter-loving smile off of your face.
strapless navy Lolita Gown, Butter by Nadia – $219
gold necklace, Leila – $86
grey draped sweater cardigan, Piko – $96
leather wrap belt, ADA – $66

We love a good maxi skirt here at Minx and this multi-colored beauty is one of our current faves. A tank or tee in almost any color will go well with it and a mustard ADA belt finishes off this festive ensemble. We might be sold out of the mohair sweater shawl already, but we do have similar styles by the same brand that would work just as well.
multi-colored maxi skirt, Hot and Delicious – $52
sage green cami, Nikibiki – $22
mohair sweater shawl in cherry, Wooden Ships – $86
mixed chain and lucite necklace, Seven Swans (local) – $54
mustard wrap belt, ADA – $66

I recently caught up with one of our first and most-devoted shoppers and good friend, Rebecca Ashburn. She and her husband own and operate the tattoo and piercing parlor Liquid Dragon in the courtyard next door to us. She pierces, he tattoos. We love having such cool, stylish, and genuinely nice neighbors. If you’re a Lexington Ave regular, you’re sure to have noticed Rebecca classing up our street in one covetable ensemble or another. She is one of our favorite people.
Here is our Q&A with Rebecca. Photography by Paola Nazati.
Where are you from? I am from the small town of Laona in northern Wisconsin.
What led you to Asheville? Living in a small town proved itself to be difficult when I was a person who had my own opinions, ideas, and a passion to wear something other than boess jeans and shaker sweaters. I had a couple of friends living here so I hopped a bus my senior year of high school and woke up in Asheville.
Describe your style. My style? Quirky, fun, lots of sweaters and fitted jackets, and things that make me smile.
Magazines or blogs that you read? Lucky is my favorite magazine and Minx’s is the only blog that I follow.
Favorite music? I like many kinds of music. Old country like Patsy Cline or Glen Campbell, classic rock like Boston. Punk, some death rock and maybe a little metal. I think my CD player in my truck at the moment has Death in June, Violent Femmes, Cocteau Twins, Jenny & Johnny and Lynn Anderson (Christmas music) in it.
Current obsession? A sold out pair of Frye boots exclusive to Anthropologie.
Three things you’re never without? Lipstick, cash and a weapon or two. A girl has to be able to take care of herself, and look good doing it.
Top three favorite clothing/shoe/accessory brands? Definitely Frye and Trashy Diva, but mostly I cut out tags and have no idea who or what I wear, I just know where it was purchased. When it comes to jewelry I love to support local artists.
Style icon? Zooey Deschanel. I always love how she looks and dresses.
On your wishlist? A beautiful Lockheart bag.
Favorite local activity? Shopping and dining downtown, LaZoom, hanging out with my family and catching a good movie.
Last/fave Minx purchase? Red Engine high-waisted jeans!
Thanks Rebecca!

Perhaps one of the best things about the frigid weather we’ve been having is that we can finally wear our favorite cozy clothes and accessories. Some of us at Minx have just about replaced necklaces all-together with fabulous neck-warmers. We are smitten with these fun up-cycled Cosby Cowls by local craftionista, M. Berlin. Made from 100% repurposed sweaters, no two are alike, and they are all completely awesome.
