This will be my last post on this website. I have officially transferred my blog, along with some of my favourite posts, over to WordPress.com My blog will still be called Shades of Grey, and the new URL is almost the same as the old one. New posts will probably be up beginning tomorrow. Click on the link below to follow the new, and hopefully improved, Shades of Grey. http://

Hey guys, In case anyone is wondering, I haven't abandoned my blog. I want to expand it a bit so that I can use it for school, and use it as part of my portfolio when I'm looking for a real job, so I'm moving it over to wordpress.com. It's a bit more complicated, but mostly I'm kind of challenged in the technology department so it's taking me some time to figure out how to get it to look how I

Now that fashion week, or rather fashion month, has come to an end, I thought I would do a recap of highlights from New York, London and Paris. Starting with New York... Imitation Spring 2011 RTW Image courtesy of Style.com After a 5 year hiatus, Imitation of Christ comes back with designer Tara Subkoff. I love the result, the set was a fantastic compliment to the contemporary line's romantic,

So, lucky me, I won a ticket through my school to go see the Burberry Prorsum Womenswear show. I was so excited for my first real fashion show that I spent the day before trying to think of what to wear, and shopping for said outfit. After much deliberation, I finally settled on a nude-rose kind of shift dress from Top Shop, but once I got to the show it really didn't matter. Nobody cared what

Never one to be outdone, Lady Gaga chose 3 outrageous things to wear to the VMAs. I love the giant black gown, and coordinating Mohawk. It must be difficult for Lady Gaga to out do her own outfits, so she went for an all meat dress. Shocking. Obviously this pissed PETA off, who released a statement to remind people, unnecessarily I might ad, as it is doubtful anyone would try this look at home,

Looking more like he's going to Comic Con than the VMAs, Will.I.Am opted for this plastic hat/wig thing to cap off his ensemble (please excuse the pun). He also painted his face black...er, which I equate with me wearing a spray tan, but some people got all uppity about it and compared it to black-face. Go figure.

It might be an unorthodox outfit choice for the VMAs, but this glamorous retro look is working for me. The finger wave, the dark lipstick, and the romantic dress all work without being too fussy for such a relaxed show.

Kind of interesting, also kind of like she is singing back up for Frankie Avalon in 'Beauty School Drop Out.'

This would be the product. She was even quoted to say she felt like an ice skater...and she looked like one too. It would be kind of awesome if her next tour all took place on a rink, "Katy Perry on Ice."

Wearing the most obvious 'I've still got it' look of the night, Cher wore the iconic get up she donned in the 'If I Could Turn Back Time' music video. I'm of two minds, mind 1: I'm mildly disturbed, she's 64 and I can see everything...gross. Mind 2: Wow, she's 64, and truth be told, if I look like that at 64 I'd be tempted to show everyone too.

I can't decide, is it Old Hollywood glam in an unconventional way, orrrr did she get it from her grandmother's attic? I think I may be leaning toward hate...no, love...no, hate, definitely hate. Her performance outfit was much better.

I don't even know what to say...this is just too awful. See Emma Stone's look (below) and see what she SHOULD have worn if she wanted to accomplish this look. She chose the tackiest possible way to accessorize this dress, which is too big. Lose the tights, some plain nude or black pumps, and throw away the belt and MAYBE this outfit can be salvaged. Also, there is such thing as being too thin,

Emma Stone's resemblance to Kristen Stewart at the VMAs is uncanny, she's even got the trademark scowl. That being said, I like Emma Stone, I even like Kristen Stewart, so it follows that I like this look. Dark red hair, black leather mini dress, and super pale skin? Is she auditioning for a part in the next vampire series/movie that I'm sure is in the works? If so, I wanna go see it!

I love this mermaid style skirt/top combo Coco Rocha is wearing. I couldn't find a full length photo, but it goes all the way to the ground. Very pretty. Slightly odd choice for the MTV awards where the usual outfit is much less formal, but maybe she doesn't get invited to the other award shows so she wanted to pull out the stops. Whatever, I still like it.

It doesn't take much effort for a guy to look good, well-fitted jeans, tshirt, worn leather jacket, a good haircut and a bit of scruff. Perf. So why do some of them still walk around like this?I think I can actually smell the Axe body spray from here.

Fashion enthusiasts everywhere are going mad for Mad Men. The AMC show is influencing fashion in much the same way that Sex and the City did while it was on the air. Everyone from high fashion designers, such as Louis Vuitton, to high street shops, such as Mango, are jumping aboard the Mad Men band wagon.

Some were good, some were awful, and some I just couldn't decide...We'll start of with the best of the night...Jayma Mays, of Glee fame, arrived on the Red Carpet wearing this navy Burberry dress. The silhouette may be simple, but the colour is rich and the texture is beautiful, so it wins. Her hair, makeup and accessories don't add much to the look, but they don't take anything away, so they

Wearing Vanessa Bruno at the Chateau Marmont, Rachel Bilson wins again. She always manages to look both classic and fashion forward. I'm obsessed with her shoes!

Love! Eva Mendes looks like she is one of those Old Hollywood icons that people will idolize for years to come in this outfit. The dress is a classic, and with her high ponytail and those beautiful glasses (I want them!) she looks amazing. Nothing bad to say, only love!

Haha, I'm imagining what she thought she looked like when she got dressed, and then looking at the reality of it, and I doubt they match. This outfit is all kinds of ridiculous. I think the shoes with the thigh highs are the best part. She looks like she is going to one of those euro"school disco" themed parties that would be hosted at a giant club with strobe lights that hosts a foam party the

I read someone, somewhere referring to miss Lively as Boobs Leggy. Granted, it's not the most creative or evolved nickname I've ever heard, but it is accurate. You won't see this girl at an event where her boobs or legs --often both--aren't on display. Hey, the girl knows what her assets are. That's why this dress is a welcome change, her neckline is much higher than usual but she looks far from

I think I get where she was going with the first outfit, but it looks like she bought her clothes in the kids department of a baby prostitute store. A crop top is fine, but because she is wearing it with a skirt that looks about a size too small worn up higher than it is intended to go, she looks like a giant. The second outfit is much better, I like the dress, it flatters her shape well, and the

Olivia Palermo bugs me for some reason, maybe I've been swayed by watching The City. However, the girl has an eye for style and always looks interesting and put together.I love the skirt in the first picture. The colour is so rich and it looks great with her skin tone. The loose Victorian looking top works well with it too, and I love the lace-up, open-toe boots. The second outfit is my favourite
