50 Shades of Grey...Literally!

To honor the opening weekend of the much anticipated film, 50 Shades of Grey, I want to talk about one of my favorite neutral colors, which is indeed grey. It just so happens that one of the top neutrals of the season is also grey. Of course, black will always be my number 1, but there is so much more flexibility when it comes to grey, because of the numerous different shades it offers. There are so many options from extremely light to very dark, you can even mix and match. Choosing grey is surely going to make a chic statement as any piece in your outfit.

1) Grey as a top: A perfect neutral to wear with a colored bottom or any bottom for that matter. Grey can be worn on top as a t-shirt, sweater, or jacket, and no matter which one you wear it will allow you to pair it with virtually anything, even more grey! To channel this season's hot military inspired trend pair a grey top with olive green pants and combat boots or an olive jacket. It also does not matter which shade of grey strikes your fancy because they will all look fantastic with everything.

2) Grey as a bottom: Whether its denim, a skirt, a trouser, or leggings, the possibilities are incredible. From your most casual days, to just another day at the office, grey on the bottom is a great option. Once again the shade is not important because the right piece will look amazing no matter what your surroundings. For work, perhaps a light grey trouser, or a charcoal pencil skirt with a burgundy top. For the weekend, some grey denim with any sweater will be a perfect combination.

3) Grey accessories: Of course style is nothing without accessories. Grey boots, scarves, bags, and hats are perfect for this time of year, even grey nail polish is a great way to incorporate this incredibly versatile color into your outfits. The fact that this color will go with anything means that throwing it on as an accessory is the easiest way to rock the trend.

Whatever your preference may be, grey is just so classic and chic that you will be looking incredible wherever you go, after all, grey has 50 shades...

Street Style Stars of 2015

Kim Kardashian, Miranda Kerr, Victoria Beckham, and Kylie Jenner are all household names when it comes to their street style and being fashion's "it" girls. They never fail to look flawless whether they are hitting the gym, Starbucks, or lunch with friends. If you're looking to these ladies for fashion inspiration, then keep up the good work; however, you should expand your horizons because there are so many more ladies out there with outstanding street style. The women below have been incredible this red carpet season as well as having impeccable taste on the street. Thus far, their fashion sense has been pretty underrated (compared to the above mentioned), but I am predicting big things for these ladies in 2015. Keep a look out for them this year and be inspired!

1) Emma Stone: This year, Emma Stone has taken some risks on the red carpet and SLAYED. She is going to be looked at during the upcoming events for what's in store next, and I guarantee that many of Hollywood's finest will be taking their inspiration from her. Not only is Emma perfection on the red carpet, but her everyday style is incredible as well. She always looks amazing and her daily looks are ones that can be easily recreated by anyone.

She is so well put-together on and off duty. Her style is so relate-able because she really knows how to use basics as building blocks and keep her looks simple but still chic.


2) Felicity Jones: Felicity is gaining recognition for being one of the red carpet's "must see" looks. So far, she has made a huge impact on the carpet and is like the Lupita Nyongo of 2015. When it comes to street style Felicity has great taste and is so classically chic.

3) Emilia Clarke: Of course Emilia Clarke is my favorite Game of Thrones character, and discovering that she is super fashionable is just an added bonus to her awesomeness. Her off-duty style is impeccable and so inspirational for anyone looking to revamp their current wardrobe. She just looks so laid back, but amazingly put together at the same time.

Her red carpet style is something to watch for in the future as well. She is just an all around stunning person on and off screen.

What is most alluring about these ladies' styles is that you can spot what their wearing and easily recreate it yourself on your own budget. Their styles are so inspirational and realistic. Search these names the next time you want to look at what celebrities are wearing, for your shopping inspiration and you will not be disappointed.
