In the Grey Blog

ICE, ICE, BABY

FRI-YAY!

Dallas finally got hit with a real Winter this week! Sleet, ice days and snow, plus a winter warning for more this weekend. Since the weather wasn’t fit for blog pictures, I wanted to talk about things I have my eye on (or have already purchased) for the Spring! Click the pictures to shop! 🙂 This snakeskin foldover clutch (which I bought in grey) was worth every penny. It’s a large clutch, so versatile, and great for spring especially in the white! Francesca’s has a student discount so go in-store and show them your student ID for 10% off! As you can tell I’m really into grey for Spring, and these fringe booties are to die for. Definitely at the top of my watchlist! Chinese Laundry usually will send a 30% off coupon via email so make sure to sign up for their emails! I am not much of a floral print kind of gal, but I actually really love this maxi! Lucy & Lyla has some other prints and colors too. I’m loving these scalloped nude pumps by Betsey Johnson! Chinese Laundry has a similiar shoe for $10 cheaper! Both sold at DSW for $30 off the original price? Um, one in every color please! I’ve always been a fan of peplum tops (they hide my chubby belly well) and I love this classic and affordable pep from Forever21, whose having a 30% off sale items promotion this weekend btw! So I hope these pictures of skinny, pretty models in cute spring attire made up for my lack of pictures for this weekend’s post! My forecast for Spring trends are fringe, white white white, and light grey! Thanks for reading babes and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! xoxo, Nickie

TREAT YOURSELF

Happy weekend, babes! I can finally say this dreadful week is over, praise baby Jesus. My honey and I are in his home town for a much needed visit to see his sweet family so I’m grateful for the weekend! read more

XOXO

What sane girl doesn’t love Valentine’s day?! The decorations are adorable and it’s a day you can celebrate the love you have for either your significant other or your girlfriends! Not to mention the endless amounts of sweets you eat devour without being judged (or so I think as I shove chocolates and donuts down my throat days before). read more

FICKLE DALLAS WEATHER

=&0=& Here’s a little fact about me- I absolutely LOVE fall and winter! Mostly because I love how creative you can get with layered outfits but also because I hate sweating. I just hate it. It’s ironic that I live in Texas, I know. This winter hasn’t been much of a winter in Dallas and I’m DEVASTATED about it. A month into winter and it’s 65 degrees today. In the shade it’s pretty chilly, but in the sun I might as well be melting. Okay I’m being dramatic, but it does get pretty warm. Anyone that lives in Dallas can attest to it’s fickle weather- one day it’s warm and sunny, then the next day it’s cold with a 20 degree wind chill… which are the best days, duh. So what does a girl do when it’s cold in the office and in the shade but warm in the sun? Don’t go outside. Jk, but really…what do YOU wear on those “it’s winter but it’s 65 degrees outside” days? Comment below or email me and tell me what you’d wear! Below is an outfit I wore this month. A chiffon print to stay cool paired with a timeless military lightweight jacket, skinnies and booties! Checkered blouse: Kohls | Military jacket: J.Crew | Booties: MIA from Sears online (crazy, I know!) | Tassle necklace: Lucy & Lyla | Jeggings: H&M | Watch: Michael Kors from TJMaxx | Bracelets: Charming Charlie Find these items and similar here or go to the SHOP MY LOOKS link! I’m hoping for a longer winter, and I hope y’all are too! 🙂 HAPPY HUMPDAY, LOVERS! xoxo, Nickie
