i recently came across a paparazzi photo of sienna miller rocking some silly sexy leopard print pants and toting a beautiful grey bag - love at first sight, see for yourself:
her bag, in case you are wondering (i know you are), is the yves saint laurent besace flap messenger and it goes for a paltry $1,895 US. justifiable, right? great colour, perfect for any season - if you wore it everyday for a year that's only $5.20 a day! (let's forget taxes for arguments sake). forget about feeding an orphan for just the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can have so much more fun with the purse (i kid, i kid - unfortunately people who are shitty enough to believe it DO exist).
let's all bask in its glory one more time before moving on to more reasonable options:

ok, phew, we've got that out of our systems now right? good.
it's the oft ignored middle sibling, losing attention to the sweet baby (white) or the rebellious teenager (black) however, as mentioned earlier, grey really is one of the most versatile colours. It can manage to make any accessory, be it a purse, a scarf, or a killer pair of heels, functional for any season.
asos - the website actually lets you shop by colour! - offers this great grey bag for a fraction of the cost (£40). now if only shipping costs and customs wouldn't cause that price to double.

some other affordable choices from left to right: deux lux - $68 US, deena & ozzy - $58 US; both available at urban outfitters, (i rock the one in the middle in red) zambos & siega - $121 US; available at shopbop.com
it may not have the natural punch of a stark white or a deep black, but paired with bright accessories or garments, grey is a chic and sophisticated option - just remember to have fun with it!
bonus: for being the worst blogger and friend, here's a little interview with the veils to brighten your day. i would love to: know what this was shot with, date this boy Finn Andrews, be this girl Sophia Burn.
