Glass of Merlot

Purple-red merlot has been a hot color this season.  I am digging it.  It plays well with camel, heather gray, black, and all things fur.  Pour votre consideration, regardez:

Let’s get the look, shall we?  First up: I love love love this fur vest ($198) in “mulled wine” — perfect over a cozy striped sweater ($89) paired with jeans and croc flats (French Sole, $181):

Perfect with the new J. Crew Biennial colorblocked tote ($368):

Or, how about a classic trench ($298) with some enorma-studs ($125), a fetching pair of burgundy-colored booties ($495), and this Victoria Beckham tote (ridiculous…$2,100)?

And how classy would you look wearing a monochromatic camel look — fur collar (Maison Martin Margiela, $1800), sweater (Gucci, $1,150), trousers (MaxMara, $612):

Finish with all burgundy accent pieces, like these Miu Miu pumps ($690) and the Phillip Lim Pashli ($895):

And maybe this studded leather wrap bracelet (Fallon, $150)?

Also living for this full skirt ($360) and a white blouse with gold chain detailing ($260) — with earrings ($45) to match:

Lovely with coordinated peep-toes ($650) and this to die Pucci clutch ($1,740):

And, of course, a chunky link bracelet ($88), and maybe this foo dog bracelet to boot ($98):

Perhaps topped off with this to DIE fur coat ($2,495):

Or, how about pairing a simple maroon crewneck sweater ($80) with this origami-pleated skirt in heather gray (Phillip Lim, $425) and a bold necklace (Lulu Frost, $278)?

Ah-mazing with these studdied t-strap tootsies (swoon! — $185) AND the iconic oversized Valentino Rockstud clutch ($1000):

Thoughts?  Are you into it?!  PS — check out La Mer Collection’s capsule series with TARGET!  All of these wrap watches are only $39!  WHAT.  Great gift as the holidays approach, n’est-ce pas?  My favorite remains the classic brown leather with gold hardware, but the white with rose-gold is calling my name…!
