Grey’s Anatomy

While browsing through the French Connection website, I was blissfully welcomed by an abundance of heather gray pieces.  Though grey has never been a particularly flattering color on me, I adore its cozy connotation and incredible versatility.  From the oversized swing coat to the cabled neck warmer below, these are all classic staples (that happen to be on sale).

Hey darling!
Those are some gorgeous pieces you’ve picked. Although grey is not my fave color, I have to admit that I do have quite a few things that are grey. They are perfect for mixing with eye popping colors.

Beautiful selection! The trousers are my favorite!

Right there with you: Heather gray doesn’t flatter me, but I can’t resist its pull. I’m LOVING those widelegs especially.

7 Danielle { 01.26.09 at 7:31 am }

gosh, i am so obsessed with gray that i have been *attempting* to infuse some color back into my wardrobe… needless-to-say i ended up with two more gray pieces during my shopping outing yesterday, le sigh.

Okay Emily my dear, you are officially a celebrity. I just got an email from Who What Wear my inbox and you are IN it! And then when I click through to the website, you are on the front page! Forget Reese Witherspoon—YOU are my fave style icon ;)

Oh, and I’ll take that coat please!

11 lisa { 01.26.09 at 8:50 am }

EMILY!

i saw you on WWW this morning and i smiled so big.

i am eyeing that knit sweater. i can’t get enough of those in my cold northern climate… although i head back to the sun in 3 weeks… i can still justify it ;) maybe.

happy monday!

I have a serious love affair with gray (I wear it too much though) and you are the best for pointing these out!
Aaaand I didn’t even realize that was you on WWW this morning!! I was totally admiring your fabulous gams.

13 Kristina { 01.26.09 at 10:03 am }

I love grey, it is a very cozy color, but can also be a great neutral backdrop for bold splashes of color. I’ve been buying a lot of grey dresses lately.

19 Rachel { 01.26.09 at 12:20 pm }

Ooooh! That stripey gray dress is perfect!
Congrats on the feature! That picture truly is amazing.

And their grey bag is very tempting.

shoot WWW featured you today, too?? great minds i guess ;) that’s truly an honor, and you have the best look of the whole bunch (and i’m not just saying that…)

also, (dumb) question but with these Myspace Muse features, do they really pull the pics from Myspace? if so, i need to follow your Myspace page!

23 silje { 01.26.09 at 1:10 pm }

Congrats! I saw it this morning, and that is one of my favorite shots of you. Love the grey pieces!

Congrats Emily, that’s so exciting! And that weave coat is divine!

25 Emily { 01.26.09 at 1:20 pm }

Hey Budget Babe…I actually always wondered whether WWWD got their pictures from MySpace pages, but since I don’t even have one, I guess they pull from blogs too! xo

29 Wanderlusting { 01.26.09 at 2:43 pm }

CONGRATS – I was recently on Fabsugar http://www.fabsugar.com/2724116 but WWWD is a bit more prestigious!

Also, grey doesn’t look good on you? Honey, grey looks SMASHING on us blondes! I love grey, all the time (in winter, anyway :) )

41 Mesh and Lace { 01.26.09 at 4:57 pm }

I saw you over on WhoWhatWear! Congrats! And i am also vry much in love with grey! I also, do not think I can pull it off most times though, so I stick to grey accessories and my nails!

42 stefanie { 01.26.09 at 5:04 pm }

Wow congrats on the feature!
I love heather grey, especially in the winter! And that bag looks great =)

45 catherine { 01.26.09 at 8:26 pm }

I totally know what you mean about heather gray. I am always attracted to it, but it’s not particularly flattering on me. I made a conscious decision not to buy anymore heather gray clothing last fall and it wasn’t easy!

Congrats on being featured! This isn’t quite as exciting, but we’ve awarded you a blogger award ;) . Check it out!

46 Kristina { 01.26.09 at 10:40 pm }

I am so happy I stumbled over your website ….great work!
