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!

My favorite MARSALA colored item for 2015 is the barely there Bra: Invisible Look Bra 4104 This is the only bra I wear! I have tried all kinds.I was a loyal Victoria Secret bra customer, not that they’re that great, just nowhere else to buy, until I found this bra.
I like the Columbia Sportswear solid fleece jacket in dark raspberry to keep me warm when I go out for a morning walk.
It is very very funny, because “dusty rose” and burgundy or wine red or “mauve” tones or just plain blood reds have been my color all my life. My kids commented to me- wow mom look at your closet.. you really love red, don’t you? Oh yes I sure do.
I would love more of the color. I could use some Tek Gear.. summer is coming, maybe their tank.
Honestly I want to win for my mom so I would have her take a look and see what she wants 😉 Thx!!!
