I'm a self confessed grey fanatic. Having had my colours done and being a Winter, grey is definately in my colour palette and it is my go-to for neutral shades.
Actually this post was mainly inspired by my love of metallics - silver in particular! I recently held a style workshop and I loved how the metallics were quite 'uplifting' and complimentary against skin tones of all ages and also how they give and reflect light in an interior situation so without further ado - here's my tribute to the power of grey and the many shades it offers particularly metallics.

Embellishing a kitchen or your outfit with metallic accessories can really add a hit of light and interest.

Armour rings and metallic nail polish adds a touch of edginess and cool - try it with an all black outfit

An all grey outfit is very chic and elongates your frame. Check out these celebs below working the grey.

Ashley Tisdale dons a grey ensemble and she looks taller than usual - great use of monochromatic tones. I love the pairing with the bright red tote!

Grey is a chic option and a nice alternative to black and when worn head to toe it elongates your frame and creates an edgy but soft vibe. Grey in the home is calming and comfortable and when a metallic is thrown in the mix - even if it just a mirror it will reflect light and add a bit of luminescence and opulence to any room.
I am actually reading 50 shades of grey this Summer (slow I know!) but I've been told it has nothing to do with grey clothing or interiors (haha!)
To end - here's a project that has taken my fancy :)
