But yeah this mid-week I again gained something. ;) So, Trend Sketcher has decided that just ensemble suggestions feels too less knowledge shared, how about lifestyle blogging? Do let me know how you felt about this week's issue? Plus would you love daily fashion updates? Now coming back to Marsala!  Okay let's first know, What is Marsala? Marsala  -  dark   sweet  or  semisweet   dessert   wine   from   Sicily fortified wine  -  wine  to  which   alcohol   (usually   grape brandy)   has   been   added And this Marsala wine color, is the color of the year! Its a dreamy, romantic, rich and mystic color! I bet its taste must be dreamy too...
