Gray Daze
July 28th, 2010
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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
