Red Alert It’s a red alert at ModCloth for the Pantone 2015 Color of the Year. Officially, it’s marsala, an earthy red wine.

I was challenged by lover.ly to take a stroll down memory lane in their #TBT —wedding edition. It’s kind of sweet since my hubby and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this year.
