5 Last Minute Costume Ideas for Movie Lovers

It's this time of the year - Halloween, a.k.a. time for costumes. You want to be creative, funny, unique, and have the set of costumes that every girl wishes she came up with first, but at the same time, you want to look good. So if you love movies and are still searching for the perfect costume for this year's Halloween, you're at the right place. Here are 5 costume ideas that are not only unique but so practical you can wear them all year round!

1. Corey from Empire Records

Simply wear a blue cropped sweater with a plaid skirt, and put on a pair of short black boots and you're good to go! It looks even better if you add a name tag around your neck and a few buttons.

2. Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction

This is a very easy outfit - a white shirt, black pants, and white shoes. But the distinguishing factor of this costume is Mia's killer look. If you have bangs, great! If not, don't worry. Put on dark lipstick and maybe even some fake blood on your skin and you'll look like you walked right out of Pulp Fiction.

3. Cher from Clueless

Cher wears everything and anything preppy, and the key to recreate her outfits is a high waisted skirt, a blazer and some type of plaids. If you want, you can also hold a bunch of designer shopping bags as props!

4. Nitta Sayuri from Memoirs of a Geisha

Want to look exotic? No problem! Throw on anything with a silky texture and top it with a kimono. Tie your hair up into a loose bun and add on catty eyeliners and red lipstick.

5. Princess Ann from Roman Holiday

Although Audrey Hepburn's classic LBD look from Breakfast at Tiffany's is my all-time favorite, she also has some other amazing outfits! This one, from Roman Holiday, she wears a white sleeveless shirt with a high waisted midi dress. Accent this costume with a little square scarf around your neck!

Envy's Celebrity Pick: Stay warm and chic with Olivia Palermo!

            When it starts getting chilly in Chicago, we face the dilemma of staying warm or fashionable all the time, because typically, it becomes a survival issue. As winter (or should I say, polar vortex) is around the corner, we're starting to dread that puffy coat that we're going to put on every morning for a very very long time. But wait, the sun is still out! So, brighten up, why not keep the puffy coat stashed away a little longer?

               We picked Olivia Palermo this week to show you some looks that will keep you both warm and chic throughout this season, and hope that these will inspire your fall/winter wardrobe.

1. Marl knit sweater + Contemporary fit jacket

             Cuddle away in your favorite marl knit sweater. Don't want to look chunky? Add a contemporary fit jacket to contour the shape of your body. Because the materials and styles are very different, the trick to create a harmonious look is color coding. You can follow the inspired look here and go blue, or the more subdued combination Palermo used. Come in store to check out our new shipment of marl knit sweaters and fitted jackets!

2. Cable knit sweater + Faux fur vest + Liquid leggings

              Are monotone cable knit sweaters too boring for you? Pair it up with a faux fur vest that's both trendy and super cozy. Liquid leggings can visually tone your legs and also complement the chunky tops! Why stick with a plain outfit when you can look like a super model?

3. Comfy tank + Military utility jacket

               Envy just introduced a utility jacket that comes in two colors and we absolutely love it! This fall/winter essential never gets old and it is a wardrobe staple every girl deserves to have. If you're in a hurry, simply throw it over a white tank or tee and put on your favorite pair of jeans, and it, looks, great. For those of us that live in Chicago, grab a leopard print scarf on your way out and you're all set for the windy city!

               By the way, it's Envy's One Year Anniversary on Friday, October 17 and we have special events planned for you! Join us for the celebration and kick off this fall with style :)
