    looking hot when its –20!

    Posted in: Fashion, Men's Fashion, Skin care, Women's Fashion, fashion tips, weather

    We know, the weather is ridicu­lous right now! –20 and colder with windchill.…but should you sac­ri­fice style for warmth?  What if you don’t have to?  A few tips from your local styl­ists at espy:

    1)  HATS, yes hats, all types are great for warmth and can add flare to any outfit!

    2)  LAYERS, obvi­ous but a great way to show up your style quo­tient, fit­ted turtle­necks and wooly tights under boyfriend jeans and inter­est­ing sweaters make almost any weather tolerable!

    3)  SCARVES, just find a new way to twist and tie it with Atu in store and ben­e­fit from the warmth of hav­ing your neck cov­ered all day while your styl­ist approves.

    4)  PROTECTION, for your skin and lips, make sure to ramp up your mois­tur­izer if you are spend­ing any­time out­side, look for balms and pro­tec­tive serums: Ceramides from GM Collin are great for this dry brit­tle weather!

    5)  WATERPROOF MASCARA, yes seri­ously, can make sure your eyes stay sexy, not rac­coon like when mov­ing from cold to warm places.

    6)  COME TO ESPY, we are open till 7pm all week long!  That 100 year old fur­nace we have pumps out the heat and try­ing on clothes is a great way to warm up!  And of course you can always dance for warmth with the espy girls!

    Much love, stay warm,

    the espy girls and Atu

    Skin care tip of the week

    Posted in: Skin care

    A great way to increase hydra­tion in Calgary’s weather is to use prod­ucts with hyluronic acid.  It holds 1000 times its weight in water and works to hydrate all skin types.  Using a treat­ing lotion con­tain­ing this magic ingre­di­ent under your mois­tur­izer is an amaz­ing way to plump up the fine lines that occur from dehy­dra­tion, encour­age your make up to be long wear­ing, and reallPicture 10y help the health of your skin in this dry weather.

    Espy’s dermo cor­rec­tive skin care line, GM Collin, has one such prod­uct every­one at espy uses to keep our skin look­ing its best.  For only $38, Hydramucine Treating Lotion is multi-use and also be used all over the body in place of body cream as well as under any moisturizer.

    A MUST for all skin types to keep aging at bay, and keep your skin look­ing its best!
