Ok, so an outfit post is on the editorial calendar for today, but I’m tabling the usual…
because I’m giddy to share a feature that just came across my inbox!

As most of you know, I’ve been working with LeTote, styling pieces. I was recently interviewed, and I’m excited they chose to feature a few of my favorite looks…

Here’s a preview of my interview with LeTote:

Q: What’s the most exciting thing you have done while wearing LT? 

A: I recently attended my friends re-grand opening for his vintage shop in a few pieces from LT… and received a ton of compliments!

Q: Where do you get your style inspiration from? 

A: I choose pieces that I feel confident in, and most of my looks I put together based on what I envision in my mind. I do love Pinterest for inspiration, and then mix and match pieces to create looks. I love seeing other style bloggers and what trends they’re following. 

You can view more of the interview and looks here.

Make it a Marsala Valentine’s Day

OK, ladies… I was inspired by Monday’s post to create this week’s style board around the color of the year: Marsala. It’s such a beautiful burgundy-wine color that I feel you could really glam up for Valentine’s day.

Any great Valentine’s date ideas? I’m thinking one of those wine and paint evenings…

Style Note: Monochromatic is such a striking look, and marsala is a great color to pull it off with. Don’t be afraid to go head to toe this Valentine’s day with this gorgeous color.

The Color of the Year

Hello there, m’darlings! I hope you’re having a great start to your week. I’ve got a quick post today on the color of the year: Marsala + lots of info…

My week is beginning busy as usual, but I was able to find some down time this past weekend. And I’ve got to know, am I the only one who missed the Super Bowl festivities?

The hubs couldn’t believe I’d rather clean my house! But after a few exhausting weeks of having my house in shambles due to a flooring project, and working hard to get the new studio complete, it was pretty cathartic to clean.
Oh yes, the new studio? As most of you’ve seen, the blog has changed a bit… no biggie! It’s still the same place with more focus on my styling services, and I’m hoping even better for the coming years. I won’t bore you with the details… if you’re interested, you can check out the ABOUT page for more deets on the changes, but there are big things coming. And don’t forget to bookmark the new page so you don’t miss out on anything. I won’t be here everyday with all the changes happening, but I am on Instagram @fashionablymelissa daily, so come join the soiree!
You can bank on a few days that will be regulars and you can view the editorial calendar in the side bar —>.
Oh, I almost forgot… you can sign up to become a Haven Street Insider by poppin’ your email into the box on the side bar as well —> and receive exclusive style tips, videos, and be the first to know about styling offers sent right to your email. I’d love to work with everyone of you, but it’s just not possible. However, I still have spots available for e-styling and one.on.one personal shopping, so email me to reserve your spot.

Style Note: Marsala is 2015’s color of the year. There are so many great ways to wear it, and it’s a great choice if you’re not a true red fan. I paired this Marsala sweater with navy stripes and a lil leo. The color combination really pops! Find yourself a little marsala for your Valentine’s day soirees and dare to be different!http://widget.shopstyle.com/widget?pid=uid2529-25378273-21&faveList=44527507&width=7&height=1&layouttype=0&border=0&footer=0
