Wrist Style

Let's talk about some delicious arm candy today! I'm not much of an arm candy gal - I just wear my watch and wedding band on a daily basis, and that's about it. But I do love the way some girls layer on pieces together and make it look so very fabulous. I have a few bracelets/threads that are meaningful to me - perhaps I'll throw all of them on together and go for this look too. Here are a few photos for inspiration. But do tell - what's your wrist style?








P.S. - It's really easy to get this look. Start with a great watch like the Michael Kors "Camille Chronograph" watch in two-tone. Two-tone is rocks because it matches with both your yellow gold and white gold/silver pieces. Win-win! Then, it's bracelet time. Think about what symbols or phrases mean most to you. Many go for the Evil Eye or Hamsa symbol, or perhaps the Infinity sign. If nothing speaks out to you, go for a classic link bracelet - it's timeless and can be passed down. Another idea is making your own bracelets! Make some with your girlfriends for DIY goodness.

New Hair Product Crushes

Drybar has become a hot spot for blowouts in the DC area lately - everyone is raving about the place, with pictures of gorgeous hair to match. I've yet to go there, but was pleasantly surprised to see that Sephora now carries some of their products. They've got to be great, right?! I'm looking forward to trying their Weightless Shampoo and Conditioner, and the Volumizing Mousse, too. Since I cut my hair short, I've been going for the wavy/messy look a lot, and the more volume that it has, the better.


But the one product I continue to be obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED, with? The Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. My sister-in-law told me about this baby and everything you hear about it is true - it's amaaaaaaaazing for creating volume and texture. And it's a dry shampoo. Trust me, I am not a big hair/makeup person, but even I can use this product with ease and see great results.


Have a great weekend, all!

Hey, Look!

Look who's back?! Yes, it's been quite some time since I've posted here, and I do apologize for the almost 9 month hiatus. Life is unpredictable as they say, and boy is that true. Many changes have come about, but never did I completely forget about my dear Grey Chiffon. With that, here are a few looks that have me inspired these days. From matchy-match to edgy to ethnic, there's something for everyone in this post. Look out for more Grey Chiffon soon - and leave me a comment or two!

georgina chapman, revisited





have not posted in quite some time about one of my favorite style stars, georgina chapman. she's now post-baby and looking just as fab as ever - from dressing down a sexy look with a jean jacket, to going full-out glam in a tea-length dress.

sketches by inslee haynes








how amazing are these illustrations by artist inslee haynes?! i spotted one of her sketches yesterday on the blog la dolce vita, and went on from there to view more of her work. i was so in love with all her illustrations - especially the ones revolving around stylish ladies going about their day-to-day activities. even lounging around seems like such a fashionable thing to do through the eyes of this talented artist.

devidas by christian louboutin



though not a fan of this particular design, it is a treat to see yet another designer take inspiration from india. these heels, named "devidas," certainly do represent indian style with the intricate embroidery pattern and  embellishments.
