Crazy In Love For Burgundy


Hi everyone, happy Wednesday guys. For all LA folks - what happened to the warm weather?! There are split opinions - some of us are ready for Fall already, and others are longing for Summer to last a bit longer. I'm looking out my window, and it seriously looks like a storm is about to roll in. Don't worry you Summer lovers - looks like the temperature is going back up to mid/high 80s starting tomorrow! EEK!

So I have been obsessing over everything Burgundy - and when I think of this color, I think of other synonymous colors like Wine, Oxblood, Auburn, Maroon, Crimson, so on & so forth. This rich color is such a precursor to Fall. Thinking of this color gets me just a bit cooler to last me throughout the summer heat wave. Here's a few of my favorite Burgundy picks - enjoy!

cheers, julie

    1. Hi "H". I have been reading the C&S blog daily so I feel like I'm qualified to answer here. I would personally recommend the Jansport "High Stakes" bag. It is made of premium fabric for superior durability and unique texture. It is very functional and it will make a fashion statement to all your friends and your family. And at only $40 it is very price sensible.

      You're welcome in advance.

    3. Hi H,

      I'm not surprised that you like the bag. As a fervent reader of the C&S blog, I have noticed that I'm developing a keen eye for unique and luxurious fashion pieces at affordable everyday prices.

      I do not work for Jansport but I can definitely vouch for their craftsmanship having used their product since 1988. Also they have a lifetime warranty just in case your "High Stakes" bag tears.

      Have an A-1 day!

    1. Hi Bear, thanks for visiting cotton and sparkles. You really have been good to my blog - thank you! In regards to your comment, you can really have multiple colors in your closet for the season. Red is a classic tone, so it really never "goes out of style." So you're good there! Burgundy is Red with a twist - and definitely a Fall must have. Thanks again for visiting! Cheers, julie.
