“Marsala” is Pantone’s Color of the Year 2015; think of a beautiful red wine with just a hint of exotic spice. To be honest with you, I’m pretty sure we’ve seen this color the past few years but by its alter egos: burgundy, oxblood, and wine. I think the reason we see this beautiful color again and again is because it’s universally flattering and perfectly complements our favorite fall neutrals like caramel, cognac, chocolate, and black.

I got this turtleneck and skirt at Pinko when we were in Italy this summer, but I’ve linked duplicates available in the U.S. beneath the photos above… Just click on a link to see the item. (I think my outfit photographed a bit more purple; it’s actually a true burgundy.) Down below, you’ll see a collection of all my favorite marsala pieces for fall and winter. Just click through the items and when you see something you like, click on the photo to shop!!



I’m thinking of wearing this to a girlfriend’s baby shower I’m co-hosting soon. It’s the first baby shower I’ve planned and as with every first-time shower planning… I’m a bit nervous!! Any ideas or tips for fun games, what to do/not do??

    Love this!! What is the nail polish you’re wearing? Those Paige jeans you linked in the post are on sale, that makes me so happy, haha!! I’ve only attended one baby shower so far, so I can’t really give advice, but other than gifts for the baby, the host gave the mother a gift just for herself, (a gift set from Lush) I thought it was very sweet.

    • I’m wearing OPI’s “You Don’t Know Jacques” in these photos. One of my favorites for fall and winter. It seems to go with everything and has enough warmth to flatter skin tones. I love those Paige jeans too!! When I’m making my look-books I’m always drawn to the sale items. Sometimes by the time I take photos and post them the items I’m wearing are already on sale!! (Which is kind of a bummer if I bought them full-price haha)

      LOVE your idea of a gift for the mother. That’s so thoughtful… I’m definitely going to get her something to pamper herself!!

    Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Bless you!|

    • I have used Blogger and WordPress and really enjoy them both. My advice is to save money on the platform, but get someone to create a great layout for you. And… Write only when you’re in the mood, as your writing will be much better than when you’re tired or stressed!!

      Best of luck!!
