Earl Grey. Grey Gardens. Gray's Anatomy. Besides these many varied instances, grey (or gray, depending how you spell it) is quite the trend as of late. From clothing to accessories, grey captivates the imaginations of fashionistas the world over. Maybe it's because it's a midway point between black and white, or maybe just because of its neutral qualities — grey just seems to work with everything (and doesn't have to be thought of as gloomy to get the job done). Here's to our new favorite color!

I love the assortment of pictures. The Smokey double button is still my fav :)

Nov. 11, 2008 at 12:25 p.m. RaeGun

Oh I love grey so much the other day I actually said to myself "no more grey and black stripes but I can always do different kinds of grey" ahhh

Nov. 11, 2008 at 12:29 p.m. laralewis

thank you for introducing me to bunnymassacre!

Lovely grey :D

Nov. 11, 2008 at 12:52 p.m. shopgoodgrace

Yes... love using grey (gray) as a neutral.

Nov. 11, 2008 at 12:54 p.m. GrandmaWasAFloozy

Grey is my absolute favorite color to wear. It's moody and romantic, not as dramatic as black, and so much easier to accessorize. And you don't end up looking like a waiter. Go grey!

Nov. 11, 2008 at 12:59 p.m. Krystyna81

beautiful collection! grey has so many moods...

Nov. 11, 2008 at 12:59 p.m. MyissaG

Nov. 11, 2008 at 1:02 p.m. MariesVintage

I love them all! I totally need to add more color in my wardrobe, but I always gravitate towards neutrals.

Nov. 11, 2008 at 1:09 p.m. MissesBird

Nov. 11, 2008 at 1:09 p.m. zwzzy

Gray reminds me of winter storm clouds, my favorite season!

Nov. 11, 2008 at 1:12 p.m. jenndesign

I have cute little sweater grey wool earrings in my shop - am working on posting new pics.

Nov. 11, 2008 at 1:18 p.m. Yelrog

Who said grey was boring. A grey wool shirt or a delicate grey top add sophistication to any old pair of favorite jeans.

Yay! For grey.

Nov. 11, 2008 at 1:22 p.m. petalandpink

I'm a huge fan of grey, thanks for introducing me to great new shops!

Nov. 11, 2008 at 3:29 p.m. deelind

I love heathered gray especially and I'm so happy to see a focus on the color gray, it's less harsh than wearing black
especially with winter pasty skin pallor.

Nov. 11, 2008 at 3:50 p.m. VintageScraps

Well, I'm glad to hear that! I've always had more gray than anything. In fact, I bet I started this trend...

Nov. 11, 2008 at 4:27 p.m. juliepeach

gray is my FAVORITE color to wear. i have the best trusty pair of gray steve madden boots that honestly go with everything... and my favorite scarf is gray. and boyfriend/i have matching gray hoodies. it's just the best for the fall/winter, because you don't have to worry about your accessories matching your clothes with it!

Nov. 11, 2008 at 4:49 p.m. quarks

gray is love :)

Nov. 12, 2008 at 4:54 a.m. TashaHussey

Grey is a must have this season, so chic.

Nov. 12, 2008 at 7:44 a.m. poplovedesigns

LOVE these grey goodies, but I'm surprised no one's mentioned this so far - it's not a colour, it's a shade!

Nov. 12, 2008 at 9:06 a.m. tortillagirl

"Grey (International and some parts of the U.S.) or gray (Some U.S. only – see spelling differences) describes the tints and shades ranging from black to white. These, including white and black, are known as achromatic colors or neutral colors."

'Tis a color, albeit a hueless one.

Nov. 12, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. shulamite

Awwww man, I LOVE grey, it's my favourite colour! I get so fed up with people whining "oh it's not really a colour" - it's several thousand shades of a really beautiful colour XD

Nov. 12, 2008 at 9:35 a.m. minihorse

i used to have a crush on this boy who only ever wore grey and black. he had excellent taste ;)

Nov. 12, 2008 at 10:04 a.m. uncharted

I love gray... probably a little too much! Great poncho, scarf, dresses... can't decide, love them all!

Nov. 12, 2008 at 10:52 a.m. AutumnLeavesJewelry

Grey with a pop of color, yeah!

Nov. 12, 2008 at 11:44 a.m. fernfiddlehead

Grey with yellow is my favorite combo right now.

Nov. 12, 2008 at 12:43 p.m. minniesheart

I like to mix grey with dark red. I find that "I have to" keep everything grey I make, I just like the color so much.

Nov. 12, 2008 at 1:41 p.m. Studio618

Grey is wonderful. So many variations and goes with so many different skin tones. Grey with purple, with a dash of yellow, a spot of red, a streak of blue....

Nov. 12, 2008 at 1:45 p.m. Domesticlady

Oh yes! I love grey with a bright red!

Nov. 12, 2008 at 2:34 p.m. blackmustard

grey is a nice trend...

Nov. 12, 2008 at 4:22 p.m. kcroteau

gray is a trend?

what's next? neon pink? electric blue?

colors are not trends if they are worn *every day* by millions everywhere. people didn't just suddenly start wearing gray a week ago.

Nov. 12, 2008 at 5:49 p.m. CoquelicotSalon

gray was a bit difficult for me...
but this winter, i like grey! it's so fresh!

Nov. 12, 2008 at 6:27 p.m. nfall2rt

I bought a gray purse a few years ago. I thought I was being boring, but apparently I'm well before the times! Haha. Too bad it's all beat up now of course.

Nov. 12, 2008 at 10:46 p.m. shewhomustbeloved

Hear hear! I love grey, esp when sometimes black is too harsh and white too stark. Love grey with pastels, yellows, reds...pinks...blues too... ohh,it's so versatile!

Nov. 13, 2008 at 4:12 a.m. gretchenmist

i do love gray/grey {2 tags!} too. as long as it doesn't veer towards purple! it's great with yellow, orange and green . . .

Nov. 13, 2008 at 11:38 p.m. KrazyFashion

I love grey! These are some great pieces from some very talents folks.

Nov. 16, 2008 at 7:19 p.m. annabellaknits

Dec. 4, 2008 at 1:38 a.m. kristinmc
