Fall Accessory Picks

Although this weekend's weather felt more like spring than fall, it's almost November. Of course our outfits have been reflecting the season, from our fleece lined leggings to our oversized sweaters. We go on and on about our favorite clothes, but our accessories deserve some recognition! Here are our top picks of our best selling items.

1. Leg Warmers
Not only do these keep our legs warm, but they are cute and easy additions to any outfit. Both styles come in lots of colors to match whatever you're wearing.

2. Statement Necklaces
Statement necklaces are perfect to dress up basics and add some fun.

3. Knit Ear Warmers
Let's be real - hats keep us warm and all but hat hair is not cute. Luckily, these earmuffs protect your 'do AND keep your ears from getting frostbite.

4. Chicago Necklaces
Rep your city! These necklaces have been flying out our doors. Available in gold, rose gold, and silver, these themed necklaces not only show your love, but also are the perfect amount of bling if you aren't comfortable wearing a statement necklace.

5. Statement Earrings

Whether you want to dial down the jewels and wear these alone, or pair them with a matching statement necklace, these little gems are so cute for adding some flare.

Scarf Check List

Scarves are the most versatile, practical, and must-have accessories. "ALL of them are so cute!" But which ones should I add to my wardrobe? How should I wear them? Well, here is a check list of a couple scarf styles that will keep you stylish and warm this winter:

1) Knitted Circle Scarf

A knitted circle is cute, hip, warm, versatile, and more. Wear it over a floral dress, a knitted sweater, a denim shirt...layer it up with a cardigan, a military jacket...you name it! There are infinite possible looks with a knitted circle scarf and it will never go out of style. So never hesitate to add one to your wardrobe, you will love it!

2) Classic Oversized Scarf

A wide, long scarf you can tie however you want. A darker color creates a subdued, classy look, while a brighter color accents any outfit. Crumple it up for a casual look, and when it gets cold, stretch it to wear around your shoulders. This is a classic staple you should never miss.

3) Square Scarf

A small scarf just enough to highlight your face and add a personality to any outfit. What's great about it is not only can you wear it around your neck, feel free to use it as a headband, tie it on your bag, and even as an arm accessory! You will be surprised what this little scarf can do...

                                                    

4) Patterns never get old.

Add some fun splashes and prints to your collection of scarves. They can be classic patterns like animal prints or if you are a dare devil, try these...

Happy scarfing! Don't forget you can get an infinity scarf for just $5 with ANY purchase at Envy! See you soon :)

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 :)

Fall Essentials! - Clothing and Accessories

Fall is definitely here. Although the weather in Evanston has not been ideal (Saturday's football game was painfully cold), the trends this season are on point! We've been counting down the days we can don these styles and now's the time to share them with you. Check out our favorite trends along with specific items, all available now in store and coming soon, online!

1. Military Jacket

Military-inspired clothing has been growing over the past few fall seasons. This year the trend is still in full effect, with cargo jackets running the game. These jackets are cute yet keep us warm in the bitter Chicago weather. We're loving these khaki, navy, and maroon colored coats.

2. Oversized Sweater

We're loving wearing oversized sweaters this season. They not only keep us super cozy and warm but also come in super chic styles. They are also long enough for us to wear leggings everyday. Who doesn't love comfort that's also classy?

3. Oxblood Pants

We are loving the dark, vampy hue of oxblood this season. Not only is fall the perfect season to wear MAC Cosmetic's lipstick in Rebel, it's also perfect to wear maroon colored clothing, especially pants. They match with all of the other colors on trend this season (khaki green, navy, cream, you name it!)

4. Fleece Lined Leggings

Although we feel this doesn't even need an explanation, we'll give you one anyways because we cannot stop singing our love for this item. Leggings have been the it-item for the past few years. They work in any season with virtually any top so they can be worn anyway from casual to formal.  These leggings in particular are heavier as they are lined with fleece. They keep us warm during the seemingly endless months of coldness we experience in Evanston. There's a reason these are our most popular item -- and only $8.98 each!

 

How chic is this outfit?

5. Infinity Scarves

Scarves are definitely a necessity for the colder months. Sometimes they are hard to wear as people have trouble wrapping them to fit a certain outfit. The solution? These circle scarves are so easy to wear and not only are they soft and warm, they are so cute too!

6. Dark Nail Polish

Fall is the season of dark, mysterious colors. We have a wide range of different shades and finishes at a super low price too - $2.98 each -  so you can change your polish everyday to match your outfit.
