Falling For Grey

(Via Hayden Williams)

For me, grey is the color of sophistication. It's the color that I chose to decorate my own home. This haute hue reminds me of New York and men's tailoring. It is the perfect base color to build a Fall wardrobe around. Consider grey your new neutral. I can't think of a color that it doesn't compliment. This season, there are at least 50 shades of grey to peak your interest and color your world.

Here's 17 Styles To Fall For

Henri Bendel Cosmetic Bag Set
Luxe and leather, The West 57th Bag Trio is a perfect example how the color grey plays well with others.

I am all about a grey nail for Fall. It is my go to color.  But there is a new shade of grey - stormy grey - in town and it's called Stockholm Syndrome.  It's right in step with neutral palettes shown on this season's runways. Only available at
