APRIL INSPIRATION
“Beneath the makeup & behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.”
― Marilyn Monroe
I am so excited for April! Over the next few weeks, I will be placing a selection of new pieces on caragray.com & I cannot wait to share them with you.
I will also be launching my tumblr and Pinterest accounts! So be sure to watch this space. AND it is also Cadbury Creme Egg month… need I say more!

What I Wore…
…was really rather minimal. While I am usually drawn to bold colours and prints, I found it refreshingly delightful sticking to this neutral colour palette.
Camel is one of my favourite neutral tones so when I found this comfortable yet chic light-weight knit from Witchery I brought it straight away. I am also wearing a black lace skirt from Witchery; Mollini heels; and my Prada handbag & sunglasses.
I have had a delightful evening catching up on some reading & a delicious trip to one of my favourite spots for macaroons and an iced mocha. I think I can say now after having tried many macaroon flavours that Raspberry is my absolute favourite…. but a girl has to be certain of these things, so I shall reaffirm over the weekend with a retest.
What is your favourite neutral tone? xx
Indulge In Beautiful Sleepwear
Pyjamas are one of my favourite little indulgences. Luxurious, comfortable and chic – there is something decadently alluring about slipping into bed in style.
Pyjamas have an unmistakable charm. It’s a quiet luxury and languid sophistication. Draping loosely around the body, a classic pair of men’s style pyjamas evoke nonchalant vintage glamour.
Coco Chanel recognised the effortless style and beautiful fluidity of a classic pair of pyjamas. During the 1920’s, Chanel would often lounge in her pyjamas (which at the time were considered inappropriate for women). She started to create luxurious sets for her clients using patterned silk, satin and Indian cotton and the trend soon caught on.
Many designers continue to reinterpret the classic pyjama style with fresh vigour and panache. From Tom Ford to Louis Vuitton, designer pyjamas bring additional luxury to these gorgeous pieces.
A perfect pick-me-up, indulge in some beautiful sleepwear as a special gift to yourself…
