On Color: Burgundy

I'm feeling a little burgundy today. The weather in la is surpirsingly gloomy and refreshing. It has me thinking of fall. And burgundy came to mind.

When my mind goes to burgundy it inspires a sensory experience.

Burgundy makes me think of old royalty and rich luxurious velvet burgundy blankets. Me, sitting by the fireplace at the ultra chic hotel and hot spot Gramercy Park Hotel. And just even walking the streets of the asprational New York City neighborhood, Gramercy Park. Other burgundy associations: Gothic architecture, old romance, gold, fall and winter, taking a cold breath of fresh air, candy carmel apples, romance, hot chocolate, comfy sweaters and sweet kisses.

Here is the inspiring Gramercy Park Hotel outdoors and lobby. 

Here are some burgundy looks I have my eye on today. 

From Fall 2013 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Jcrew Collection. These burgundy shoes make me want to dance. I have always loved lace up shoes. They are such a feminine statement shoe. 

Love Kylie Jenner's burgundy concert pants. I want a pair of faux leather pants in burgundy. 

Burgundy lips are so sexy and almost unkissable. Love Megan Fox in her burgundy lipstick. Gorgeous.

I also can appreciate a bold pop of burgundy in the home. Check out this look from Elle Decor Magazine this month. The color truly mixes with animal print so cohesively. Don't you just want to live in this room? I do.

It's September and I guess burgundy is just in the air. Makes me want to cozy up by a fire in rich fall textures and colors and snuggle. Love the fall.
