“Greige” Is The Word

I was chatting with Sarah earlier and of course the conversation turned to fashion and the latest trends, she had just finished up ordering the latest Chanel “it” color- also known as “greige” or Particuliere.

So… following our conversation she text me the information and as soon as I got home I did some research and ordered myself a little bottle. This color is everywhere-including our favorite celebs on the red carpet and even my fav-Sandra Bullock, rocked the “greige” while accepting her award at the Golden Globes.

There’s a great OPI alternative-which I’ve actually worn and love (Kate has it already)- it’s called “You Don’t Know Jacques”. You can barely tell the difference between the two shades– so why did I opt for the Chanel? For the free samples you receive when you order through chanel.com. 🙂

Let me know if you find any other Spring colors we absolutely NEED to purchase… I’ve seen that pastels are really “in” too.

Clog Comeback

Modern clogs have been on my mind for weeks now… I’ve been looking for the perfect Spring/Summer shoe that can dress up my every-day look –which usually consists of tights and a v-neck– yet still keep it casual. I think the modern clog is exactly what I’ve been envisioning.

At first I was a little skeptical when reading about the “clog comeback”–thanks to the Chanel Spring Collection, of course. The 2010 clog is not as chunky as the original ones we wore circa ’96. This updated version is way more feminine and they tend to have a lot more detail. I’ve seen some with cut-outs, studs and killer height!

I love the ones shown above on Maggie G.–they look super casual and comfy and that’s exactly what I’m looking for but if you’re looking for a more dramatic pair of clogs there are plenty to choose from! I recommend checking out Steve Madden– they have a good selection and reasonably priced.

Thoughts on the modern clog??

**This is the pair I just bought- they were nearly sold out everywhere but I found them online at Lord & Taylor.
