Look Cosy And Stylish This Bonfire Night!

Bonfire night is literally upon us this week and no doubt you're heading off to a local event or enjoying some fireworks at home with family and friends. Whatever you're doing, one things for sure, you'll need to wrap up cosy and warm.

So while you're tucking into your pie n peas or nibbling on the parkin, we've got some amazing faux fur pieces that will keep the chill at bay...

Us Bag Envy girls are a huge fan of the faux fur wristlet cuffs, a super alternative to gloves. So easy to wear and will fit perfectly over your favourite woolly jumper or outerwear. We've got an array of colours to choose from too.

One of the key season faux fur trends this season is the collar! You can find lots of outwear styles with the fur attached but we think the seperate piece is extremely versatile. Ours come with a hidden clip which allows you to fix the collar together or attach it to your coat and jacket. 

An amazing bonus of our faux fur pieces is that they're made from exceptional quality faux fur, but they are actually machine washable too. After washing, leave to dry naturally and fluff up with a cool blast of the hairdryer. So you've not need to worry that your gorgeous accessories are tarnished with bonfire night fumes!

Kylie Jenner Giving Us Shoe Envy!

She's loved by her fans all over the world for her amazing wardrobe, style and beauty regime, yet the youngest Kardashian has something all women would love...an enviable shoe closet that's giving us down right shoe envy!

At the tender age of just 18 and after moving into her $2.7 million dollar Calabasas mansion, Kylie has a walk in wardrobe shoe collection literally out of this world. 

Most of us dream of having a walk in, let alone one specifically for shoes. Oh and we're not talking high street footwear either here, this lucky gal has designer labels on every shelf, floor to ceiling!

But this got team B.E thinking, how many of you could actually fill this closet with your shoes? We bet, if like us, you've probably got tons of pairs crammed into the wardrobe, or do you store yours neatly in their original boxes? One of our gals even had shoes and boots stored in two bin liners in the loft and forgot about them until 2 years later...

Faux Fur Accents For AW15

Who else loves this time of year? As soon as the leaves start to fall from the trees, we're thinking cosy jumpers, log fires, hot chocolate and snug nights in front of the TV. 

We also love the Autumn Winter fashion and the deep colours that signal a season change, such as khaki, navy blue and deep burgundy.

One fashion accessory we can't live without is some beautiful faux fur. Once again we're adding faux fur pieces into our accessory collection and the colours, styles and quality are amazing. Of course our favourite celebs love the faux fur too and Kim Kardashian can be seen sporting everything faux fur, as it's so easy to wear whether it's day, weekends or occasions!

So at Bag Envy we have everything from capes, to gilets to headbands in loads of colours!

One of our favourite pieces is the Cossack Hat. Easy to wear on those chilly nights at the Bonfire party or Christmas shopping on a Saturday afternoon! Our Cossack hats, along with our other faux fur products, are made from premium high grade faux fur and are fleece back lined for extra warmth and cosiness

Another favourite is the collar! These are amazing for throwing over your favourite leather jacket or jumper through the day, but at night drape a collar over your favourite LBD and add some serious glam to your look! We love the shimmering metallic colour of the Lumi collar, pictured below, but you can bag it in some other amazing colours too such as cobalt blue and deep plum! 

Check out the full collection of faux fur here.

OMG! Khloe Has A Walk-In for Fitness Wear

So most of us would actually die for a walk in wardrobe, but imagine having a walk in purely for your fitness wear! Well check out Khloe Kardashian's...we are well jel!

First off, there's a whole back wall and two side panels dedicated to sneaks. And not only that, they're colour co-ordinated like a rainbow! To the left we're talking shorts and vests, to the right it's hoodies and leggings.

Now this is only one angle of the closet, Khloe also has a counter full of wrist and head bands, sports bras and other jaw dropping accessories.

Seriously though, Khloe loves her fitness and whilst this resembles an actual sports shop, we bet it all gets used. The fact that its all neatly displayed and colour co-ordinated suggests this Kardashian is a true and devoted fitspo!
