Gray Daze
I realize that a couple of weeks back I was complaining about L.A.’s oppressive heat, but I certainly wasn’t wishing for the dismal, gray weather we’ve been experiencing as of late. The mornings are cold, the air is thick and it’s altogether uninspiring. Instead of fighting against it with neon nails and jewel-colored gems, I’ve decided to embrace the moody tone in the form of clothes. Here are some of my favorite items that encapsulate the dreary days that will easily transition into fall.
1. Helmut Lang Open-knit Wool-blend Sweater, $290
2. All Saints Gregory Skirt, $150
3. Kain Silk and Modal Tank, $85
4. Stella McCartney Triangle Bra, $150
5. Michael Kors Runway Watch, $106
6. Mulberry Margaret Mini Bag, $2,350
7. Topshop Waterfall Trim Shrug, $55
8. Jeffrey Campbell Pixie, $180
9. Topshop Horn Button Hareems, $80
10. Retro Super Future Black Lucia Glasses, $185
11. Topshop Cross Over Pleat Shorts, $40

I love grey in fall…It give such a comfy feel, right?
Nr.1 is so cute:)
Kisses,sweetie and see you soon:)
I feel like I’m the only person in LA wishing for the weather to stay how it’s been. I prefer it over the heat we had last summer! Love the Helmut Lang dress!

Great picks! The Mulberry bag is so cute and I love the All Saints skirt too. Grey is so versatile; even though it can seem dull, it really goes with most other colours.

I love these grey pieces. Those Topshop hareems are my favourite.:)SarahD
I love the Helmut Lang sweater and the triangle bra !!

Grey is cool.
I love the triangle bra…and my latest grey ‘fad’ is definitely nailpolish…surprisingly cool!
I adore the first top. Grey is one of my favorite colors but if it’s a top or dress I have to pair it with a black, pink, yellow, white etc…b/c it washes be out. I think I am starting to get excited for Fall
I love the watch…grey doesn’t always look too great on me, but I love this whole look.

grey, jersey, draped, lace … beautiful.
Lovely selections for a lazy, hazy day. I’ve sworn off heather gray because it doesn’t look good next to my pale complexion, but I absolutely adore deeper shades of solid gray. It’s one of my favorite hues!

Too funny! I was just thinking about how I have too many grey and blue items in my wardrobe and here you go with more cute grey pieces!
Love every single item! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love LA and if I had the opportunity to visit right now, I’d take any kind of weather….
I love the new cross over trend on bottoms. I have yet to try it on, have you yet? How does it look?

I’ve never visited, but I thought LA was always sunny and warm? Either way, I love your picks! The cropped trousers are my favorite

I am loving those JC wedges!!

I’m wearing grey today too…but not to befriend the weather. It’s sunny but hot here!
I do the same thing when the weather gets dreary, usually without even realizing it.
I looove that Stella bra!
http://idlefascination.blogspot.com/
Grey is the best – it goes with everything! Looks great with black or even with pale pinks/nudes.
ps. I must admit that I absolutely love that bra!
LOVE all of these items…especially the purse, sunnies, watch, & bra!

Great picks! Just wanted to let you know that I pick up on all the subtle details you put into your posts to make it clean and aesthetically pleasing and I appreciate that
I was wondering, how do you decide what to write about daily? Do you choose ahead of time for the whole week or just let it come to you?

I actually love the cool weather…much better than it being hot hot hot! And I love that Mulberry bag!
I love gray, it’s such a fabulous neutral. Ahh I’m so ready for fall!!

I love grey shirts they’re such a great basic!
Love, love, love gray! This is a great round-up!
I think grey always looks so chic when dressed right, it’s perfect for any season and for layering.

Grey is my favorite color.
Of course my favorite pieces are Helmut Lang and a MK watch. I’m sensing a personal trend developing for me… Hehe. Can’t wait for fall, loving your picks!
Grey is such a key part of my wardrobe – the grey t-shirt (American Apparel tri-blend) is probably my favorite piece. That skirt is fantastic though and I think would work well in so many seasons!
Becca
That bra is divine, and how could anyone resist a pair of JC’s!?

Totally loving the harem pants and JC wedges!
Love the Stella McCartney Triangle Bra. Of course, I love all of her stuff. She has the cutest days of the week panties.
I really cannot get enough grey! I want every single one of those items. Thanks for rounding them up in one place

….and we wake to sunshine!!! finally!
i love the shorts!
Gray is my favorite neutral, and these pieces are just marvelous.
I love this shade of gray. I’m really looking forward to embracing it when the weather cools down over here.
gray is one of my favorite colors for all seasons.
gray and white for summer, gray and brown for fall, gray and black for winter, and gray and navy for spring.
I’ve basically been embracing the chilly, foggy bay area weather the same way: lots of fall sweaters in black and gray. I need a heatwave!

I love, LOVE that Kain tank and the JC wedges. So cute. Although Minnesota weather has returned to normal, I was completely on the gray train when our weather was ridiculously gloomy last week. Thank goodness for Hunters, right?

Oh, all these pieces look so comfy! I love that topshop waterfall shrug! I wish I could fast forward and skip our Texas summer this year. No need for spas, everyday feels like a sauna.
Love these selections! If only that purse were a little cheaper

Love the Helmut Lang!

I’ve always loved muted greys…along with camel tones which I’ve seen on the fall runways…going to mix greys and camel tones for fall…love it!
i love gray. i find myself loving it more and more every day and i dont know why.
…with your post im realizing that maybe its cause im a seattle girl – and i permanently embrace our omnipresent gray.
I love the Jeffrey Campbell shoes!

Ooh, that Stella McCartney Bra is positively beautiful.
Some days are just best when you’re wearing a hit of grey. Grey is the color I wear when I want to be comfortable.

Gray: NOT a colour I can rock.
Agreed. I’m ready for fall. Bring on the cardigans and boots!
Grey is one of my favourite colors!

I’m moving to the northwest, so I can’t wait for the gray, dark, and gloomy weather (at least for a little bit).
gorgeous! i’m a gray girl… i have to admit. it just goes with everything! looooove the helmut lang, stella mccartney, jeffrey campbell, and the black lucia sunglasses. my dream gray day wardrobe. <3
looksspiffy.blogspot.com
it’s truly frustrating, just when i am embracing neon and bright colours, the weather turns moody on me. I used to and still am such a gray,white and black gal.
Good day to you!!
Cheers,
Sheryl
You could always do a combination of grey and bright colors…both embracing the gloomy weather but still adding some sunshine into your day.
love gray!!!! the Stella McCartney Triangle Bra is awesome
LOVE the grey. definitley my favourite neutral. especially that stella mccartney bralet!

I love gray, and all its variations. I think I’m trying to ween myself off of black with gray pieces. These are great selections. I love #s 2, 6, and 11 especially. Hope the weather improves! xo

I love you selections, especially #8 the Jeffrey Campbell Pixie boots! What a great new Shoe for fall. I have to agree I live in So Cal and we need more sunny days here too!
That Stella is to die for. GORGEOUS.

I am all about gray clothing right now! I love it paired with muted pinks and lavenders (and khaki) for summer.
Great post.. I am obsessed with gray. Best neutral ever.

Yay for grey!!!!
Drooling over the All Saints skirt and totally rad Retro Super Future sunnies!
first of all can I have everything in this post??! FAVS: the bra, the pants, sunglasses, bag, watch, tank… it all looks so great! I’m lusting this heather gray color.

Love gray!
Adore that bra but these bubbies would never fit in something like that. I’m obsessed with simple gray tanks. Love, love, love.
I love number 1, though it’s WAY out of my price range.
Gray has always been my favorite neutral. My friends tell me that I am actually addicted to gray because it is utterly unusual for me to go shopping and not buy something gray.
I love it all!
http://www.poolovesboo.blogspot.com
that bra is so wispily pretty!! bra, pants and watch are my favorites. i love gray and now i can’t wait for fall! i love summer but theres a conspicuous lack of pumpkin pie.
I love the sunglasses…These may be the pair to get me to give up my wayfarers.
i totally agree with you! i kind of prayed for fall, what with being eager to wear fall clothing but i never wished for the weather to do a complete 180. it’s way to cold for it to be summer.
love your gray day pics though!

grey is definitely a wardrobe essential for me. love all these pieces. completely drawn to that bag!

I bought that Kain shirt last week!! For some reason I am constantly drawn to gray clothing — especially t-shirts and sweaters… love all of your picks
I so agree on the concealer… I use it all the time, it’s the best and so is their under eye cream !!!
Some great picks. Love grey but sometimes can start to look a tad boring.
Hey! I wrote a grey post for today too! But I called my “Grey Day”
We’re on the same wavelength.

Gray is one of my all time favorite clothing colors. But I was glad to see the sun peeking out today!
Gray is so one of my colors. This post excites me so much and I’m totally getting those wedges, STAT!

i love all of it!

).
It’s funny because when I was younger I hated gray, however, over the years, it kinda grew into me and it’s now one of my favorite colors (does that make me a depressed person?!
It goes with pretty much anything and in its different shades is good both for winter and for summer!
Love #2 and #11!
this is why new yorkers wear so much black. the sky is usually always gray. love your picks, esp 2 and 6.
