No, I don’t mean the books, but thought it would be a cute post name because of all the buzz! Have any of you read them yet by the way? I have not yet but want to. Anyway, my post is all about the color grey! My husband and I have bought our first house- we are so excited and moving in June. So of course, I am pinning decor ideas like crazy and I am in love with grey paint ideas so wanted to get some of your opinions. Who knew there were so many shades of grey from blue-grey, taupe-grey, silver-grey, and I can go on and on!

3 days straight of rain can get dreary so take advantage of these cozy days by wearing your fave trench, rain boots, and indulging in your favorite latte.

Anytime I have an excuse to wear sequin, I will. I think it was all the dance recitals I did as a little girl- choosing that perfect sequined, bedazzled costume is the most exciting part! To avoid looking like you are on Dancing With the Stars, pair a sequined item with something neutral and simple.

Signature Smokey Eye

I know there have been a billion tutorials on smokey eyes but I thought I would share my signature smokey eye. Perfect for a night out but not too overdone- I try to avoid looking like a raccoon! Primer is so important and just finding the right browns or grays to make the look work. If you have light hair- browns and purples are softer than blacks and grays. A colored liner also adds an extra pop! 🙂
