Hi!
Welcome to HAPPILY GREY …my personal fashion journal capturing images of expression through effortless style. Taking a sustainable approach to fashion, I love the combination of colors, prints, and patterns paired together to give a fresh, trendy look. I am excited to share my inspiration with others, and hope HAPPILY GREY provides genuine enjoyment to all readers!
Little about me…
I’m Mary, I’m 25, and I’m happily married to my best friend who has unknowingly become quite the photographer through this fun hobby of mine. He’s Luke, he’s an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery resident, and he’s pretty amazing! My admiration and love for him is unending. We recently added a little 4-legged member to the family, and I could not adore her more! She’s Allie, she’s a great dane pup, and she’s growing fast!! My faith and family have had the greatest influence on my life and are reflection of who I am today. Thanks for stopping by HAPPILY GREY.
Appreciative,
Mary
Hi Mary,
I hope you guys are doing well….its been a long time. Just wanted to say what a cool thing you guys are doing with this blog. Keep it up and wish you much success with it.

Was Grey your maiden name? Just wondering what is behind the name “Happily Grey”!
Jeanette- I wish I could say it was a family name however, its not..I do love the name Grey though! I’ve always planned to name a little girl that! I also decided on Happily Grey because grey has always been my favorite color to style clothes or decorating a house. In fact, Luke and I painted the walls shades of Grey throughout our condo and it turned out great! So, grey is just a color I’ve always loved incorporatnig in all I do! Thanks for stopping be the website! Stay in touch!
Mary! Love your blog! Hope all is well!

Hi Mary! I love our blog!
Can you tell me some of your favorite places to shop? I check your blog everyday! You have incredible style not to mention you are gorgeous!
Thank you!!
Hi Sarah! Sorry for the delay in responding …I’ve been traveling this weekend, however am going to shoot u a personal email once I get home! Talk soon
I love this blog! Just found it and I’m addicted! Can you tell me how you do what you do? Like, how do you get all the clothes you model??!!
Hi Brooke! Thanks for visiting my blog! Most of the clothes I wear are my own..with the exception of invading my sisters closets. My everyday job has nothing to do with fashion at all! My husband and I are actually both in the medical field. I am an ICU nurse and he is a resident at Vanderbilt. I started this blog as a hobby and creative outlet. The majority of my clothes are very affordable and if they aren’t then I definitely bought them on sale. I also sell Scentsy on the side and now the blog, which can also be a source of revenue. Thanks so much for leaving me a comment and checking out my site! Please feel free to contact me anytime! Have a great Saturday!!!
Just found this blog and let me say wow. You are too pretty and your style is amazing. I am DEF!! going to have to start stopping by more often. Keep up the good work. Also? by any chance are you from Houston??? I live in Houston and a lot of the scenery looks very familiar. Well that’s it have a fantastic day.
Hi Bernice!! Thanks so much! I love blogging so hearing positive feedback makes it that much better! I actually used to live in Houston! My husband and I just moved to Nashville a month ago, but yes your totally right, my older pics are taken in Houston!
Ive noticed that in a lot of your pictures, you’re sporting an amazing messy bun. Do you have a tutorial on how to do one? If not, would you be willing to?
Thank youu
Hi Angela! Several people have ask me about how I do the messy one and a couple post ago I put together my “how to”. Check out http://happilygrey.com/tuesday/ to read about it. I am throwing the idea around about making a video just as soon as I get the time and resources! Thanks for visiting Happily Grey. Feel free to contact me with any other question you may have!
Hi Mary! My husband is a 4th year medical student and will hopefully be a surgery resident this time next year! I just wanted to tell you that I have been looking through your blog and enjoy it! Thank you!
Hi Morgan!! So glad you said Hi! Getting to meet people through my blog is my favorite part about it! That’s wonderful about your husband…I know you guys must be so ready for him to be done with med school. My husband, Luke, is a Oral Surgery resident and his schedule is insane right now…I can’t wait for intern year to be over! Goodluck to you guys in the application process and match day! Thanks so much for visiting my blog..please feel free to contact me at any time! Have a great upcoming week!

I recently bought the black & white aztec cardi from UO & just saw your post with it! You’ve inspired me to pair it with different things! Thanks & keep the fashion coming! 
Great Danes are the best! It’d be cool if you incorporated her in your pictures with you when she’s fully grown!
I like your blog a lot , you have great style. It’s quite an inspiration to me! I wonderd now for some time if I may or may not aks, but I’m too curious not to: How old are you nowadays? Regarding the pictures I thought that 24 for might be some years ago as you and your look appear more thirty-something to me. I myself am 32 and enjoy it so much to have found a blog someone about my age (?) and with similar ideas about clothing writes.
