Grey Day

After four days of lovely weather in San Francisco, this grey Monday is a little depressing.  I'm not ready to be back in boots and tights and coats. As I've mentioned before, my winter wardrobe consists of various shades of grey.  It looks less harsh than all black but plays nicely with almost all other colors.  I especially love it mixed with gold jewelry but grey rooms also look great with gold accessories.  Now I just need to find a reasonably priced vintage gold Rolex.  A girl can dream. 

My new J.Crew Collection Tartan Car Coat integrates perfectly into my grey wardrobe.  It's also super warm and chic.  It's sold out online but you can call to see if they still have it in stores. 

He's technically not wearing grey but he was too cute not to include.

50 Shades of Grey

You really didn't think I could post about grey and not use that title right?  It rained all day yesterday in New York and this morning is foggy and gross.  Of course that got me thinking about my favorite non-color color, grey.  I love all the shades and how well it pairs with brown and gold but it really coordinates with any color. It also looks less harsh than black and looks good against my hair color which is why grey dresses are my winter uniform.  And while we think of black and white photos as well, black and white, they are really made up of shades of grey, probably a lot more than fifty.
