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!

Simply Vera Vera Wang Chiffon Peasant Top – Women’s is one of the items I like in that color. It looks very comfortable looking and would look great with a black pair of jeans and boots.
My favorite MARSALA colored items for 2015 Free Country Hooded Packable Puffer Jacket or the Dana Buchman Triple-Entry Convertible Satchel, because if I could buy just one item it would definitely be a handbag and if I could buy two items I would buy a handbag and a jacket.
I like the Columbia sportswear solid fleece jacket because it looks light enough so I wont sweat to death while working out, but heavy enough to keep warm outside while running.
I like the 1928 Y Necklace 🙂 I guess it’s Marsala colored; I don’t know if it’s a red color or a brown color, but I guessed red.
Isn’t the color of the year Merlot? I couldn’t find clothing from searching for Marsala but found a bunch of Merlot! I am reading conflicting stories on what Pantome picked. Oh, well. The Sonoma comfort + style ballerina flats are adorable!
I would really like a pair of Journee Collection Stella Tall Boots – I’ve never had tall boots and would love to try them out!!!!!!!!
My favorite is the Ryka Draped Space-Dye Tee because I like the way that it looks. 😉
I love this scuba pencil skirt in purple henna (it looks marsala-ish to me!) kohls.com/product/prd-1901307/apt-9-midi-scuba-pencil-skirt-womens.jsp
I like the kohls.com/product/prd-1617891/helene-blake-sequin-lace-sheath-dress-womens.jsp.
Nike Therma-FIT All Time Fleece Performance Hoodie because I need a good warm hoodie!
I like the Tek Gear Core Lifestyle Capri Yoga Leggings because they’d be perfect for workout classes.

Simply Vera Vera Wang Chiffon Peasant Top
I really love this color, so it was hard to pick one thing only – but I found something practical and comfortable that I would probably most certain buy if .I won the Kohls card! It is the Tek Gear Fleece Lined Workout Hoodie.
