Grey Layers

of style and of substance

Hello 24. What 23 has taught me.

I took some time to think about how I’ve become such a grandma. Realizing that it’s a whole combination of tons of things. From terrible friendships, to Horrible bosses, to losing in relationships and losing everything you’ve ever had in life, you come out of it stronger, wiser and well… a grandma. Life has given me tons of lemons. Till this day, I’ll be forever grateful for all the lemons I’ve ever received. Tea instead of whiskey please. I’ve traded in all my 20 inch dresses for pants and ankle pencil skirts , my 6 inched hooker heels for oxfords and nikes, my late night parties for cooking and saving. My early 20’s have been a mess and when you’ve gone through messes, you learn a lot while you’re cleaning up after yourself. Here’s a few words of wisdom from your favorite grandma. 1. Wear soft clothing. What’s good for the outside is good for the inside. 2. Discover yourself. Know your likes, dislikes, favorites. Find out what makes you unique. What makes you cry, what makes you wake up excited. If you don’t know yourself, then I promise you no one ever will. 3.Say nice things behind people’s backs. Gossip always gets around, and how wonderful for someone to find out you have been spreading love instead of hatred. 4.Eat all the foods. Food is probably the best thing about being alive. 5.Make a budget for yourself 6.Coupons are always fantastic. 7. Aim to be better, not bitter. Grudges don’t fix things, let go while learning the lesson. 8.Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. 9.Surround yourself with people who have goals, who thrive, who have the same passion that you do. It keeps everyone motivated. 10. Cooking is therapeutic just as it saves you money. 11. A pet is wonderful but is secretly like having a child. 12. Freedom is not free. Everything has a price. Stay smart. 13. When you’ve found it in you to let go of useless people and purchases who do not bring your life any good, you’ll be happier. 14. Less is more, more or less. 15. Listen to your body. Sleep when you’re sleepy, eat when you’re hungry and go on adventure when you’re craving it. It’s healthy. 16. Take care of your credit…

Summer in a Box

Tons of you ask how I shoot in the winter. The snow, the sleet and our amazing 10 degree weekends make you question how I possibly make a photoshoot out of these winter days. Guys let me tell you – Summer isn’t a season in GreyLayers. It is a state of mind. Think summer and summer comes to you.  Just like this summer curated box Her Fashion Box perfected just for me. Not that I absolutely hate the snow, because it’s just as beautiful to me as Puerto Rico. Well, that’s a lie, sort of. I do love beaches more as an Aquarian. But snowfall is pleasing the eye as well. It’s subtle, simple and cute in ways you won’t imagine. ** Shout out to The Blizzard Juno for being the cutest blizzard yet.**

On Romance

Is romance really dead? Walking around a whole new place gets me thinking about the craziest things. Quite frankly a new surrounding allows new observations and thoughts. I wouldn’t mind this. Think about it. So many people believe this to be true. But look again. Now, we don’t commit, we just test. We order up human beings through Online Dating sites like they’re a medium sized McDonald’s meal. We now think intimacy lies in a perfectly executed string of emojis and that good morning texts are more important than honest conversations at 2 am. Cut your choices down. Concentrate on one. One is all you’ll need. Isn’t that the point? To find one, and stick to one?  We think that the more choices and options we have in dating, the better we are. Our choices kill us. The more chances you have, the more watered down it is. We end up forgetting what it actually feels like after dating over and over again – thinking there’s a better one, thinking we might be missing out. We end up missing what’s right under our noses, asking to be loved. And when we do choose to commit, the cycle continuous as you start comparing your redden-eyed, tear stained bed sheet relationship to the shiny and perfect 140 character, emoji filled couple you see on social media.

A Tuesday in my shoes [1/7]

    The Eastern sunrise. Probably the only thing keeping me around New York, fusing my thoughts of living the Californian dream once and for all. Besides my love for fall that is.  But we can talk about Fall another grand time. 9:00am – A day in the life of little ol me.. Sleeping in isn’t really a thing or atleast I try not to let it be a “thing.” Coffee has been injected in my system and by 9:30 I have had already set up all my day’s meetings. Black Coffee. 4 cups. And condensed milk, about 3 tablespoons worth. Doesn’t that kill you? But its what keep me living. So in my book that’s okay.
