2015 Color of the Year Marsala
Pantone, the leading authority in color, recently announced its rich, captivating 2015 Color of the Year Marsala. Described as a “naturally earthy and robust wine red” by Pantone, this deep red-brown hue will be the must-have color in fashion, beauty and home décor in the coming year. Here’s some example pieces that you can find on Kohl’s site currently, but hurry this color sells out fast!
Marsala wine is a fortified wine from Sicily. It’s commonly used for cooking to create rich caramelized sauces. When you are wearing Marsala, you forget about the winter cold and start dreaming of the gorgeous Sicilian sun and countryside!
Kohl’s has so many different pieces in the Marsala tones, but if you see something in that tone…BUY IT! I found several of the items that I adored were gone just a week later. The marsala color is hot hot hot this year! Also visit Tanya’s Shopping Diet Blog on Facebook to see how she styled the Marsala color.
Here’s some more Marsala ideas from Kohls! #Yes2You #FindYourYes
Lipstick Feature: The Lipstick featured in this post is from Lipstick Queen–Red Carpet Edit ($55). All the lipsticks in this collection are enriched with nourishing natural oils and protective anti-oxidant Vitamin E, this hydrating trio will leaves lips soft, supple and deliciously moisturized. Red Sinner was my favorite for the collection, because it looked great with everything I put on this winter season. The Saint red was more sheer and good for everyday. Finally the Red Metal really did have a metallic look that was a fun as it was surprising!

I like the Sonoma Cable Knit Sweater in pale pink. Great to wear with jeans or dress pants.
I really like the Simply Vera Vera Wang Winter Lights Look 11. I don’t like tight tops and the style is gorgeous on this one.
This is not a color that would look good on me because I am a redhead but maybe a pair of earrings this color would look good. Love those chunky ones
I love the LC Lauren Conrad Pleated Top. I’m not sure if it comes in Marsala but if it does, I like that it is a deep, earthy color that would go with a lot of outfits. The Tek Gear – Raglan Workout Tee in Marsala would be good for my running once it warms up too.
I like the New Balance NB Heat 1/2-Zip Fleece-Lined Running Jacket in Mulberry Poisonberry. I like that is has pockets for keys and ID.
The Journee Collection Rachel Tall Boots – Women
I love the Simply Vera Vera Wang Twill Leggings in deep red. They look like a gorgeous wine color and would be super comfy!
I love the Apt. 9® Pleated Chiffon Skirt in purple henna. I love the dressiness of this skirt that can be worn with leggings and a sweater and boots! Love the rich color!
I like the Juicy Couture Kitten Rectangular sunglasses in purple and their on sale! It must be a sign! lol
Any of the leggings would work for me.
I love the Columbia Sportswear Solid Fleece Jacket. I am in a part of the country that has more mild weather, this would be great.

I’ve always loved this color so I’m happy it’s everywhere now. I love the Apt. 9® Midi Scuba Pencil Skirt in purple henna, it’s so classy and sexy!
I love the Croft & Barrow Jesse Shopper Handbag. It would look good paired with the A2 by Aerosoles Marimba Mary Janes Women’s Shoes.
I really like the Nike Therma-FIT All Time Fleece Performance Hoodie in Purple. Not only do I like the way it looks, but it sounds like it would be very warm and comfortable. With the cold winters we’ve been having here in the Chicago area, and with me having five dogs that need to go outside more often than I would really like them to, I would love to have this to keep me warm.
I like the daisy fuentes Bootcut Ponte Pants – Women’s.
