One colour I'm in love with lately is what apparently is called mauve taupe--brownish pink or pinkish brown. I especially love this hue when paired with a lighter blush or nude pink with similar brown undertones. I'm so in love with it that I think I might try to make the sweater shown below in exactly those colors. On a slightly similar note, I am really liking the combination of sort of a dove grey with browns that have pink or purple undertones; if I end up making the sweater below (which I am hoping to do), I think I'd pair it with a greyish skirt and wear the ensemble with
Re-mix's Beverly shoes, although their Zurich style is cute too. Yum!

I love this color too, especially on that beautiful dress. I had a scarf in a similar shade a few years ago.
Oh wow, those beverly shoes are so pretty! :)

Yes, its one of my favourite colours too, back in the 50s in England it was called Rose Taupe and the French used to call it Bois de Rose, but whatever the name it's yummy.
oh yeah! that looks like a yummy combination, and i can totally see you in that sweater!
I really like that jumper. I reckon you should make it and then we can see what it is like and maybe I could get the pattern from you ;)
Love it! I've seen this dress on the ebay, but unfortunately it's way too small to fit me.
And look at these beauties, just the colors you like

It is a gorgeous shade, but one that entirely doesn't suit me unfortunately!
If/when I make it, I will be sure to share, twinklez1985!
Ooh, speaking of sharing, thanks for linking to those beauties, Laos!
Penny D: I am certain you can rock ANY color you so choose, but I know what you mean...if there's too much grey/putty, then I look too pallid and must spackle on the bronzer and blush.
Miss Rayne: oooh, bois de rose sounds so right. Thanks for these color words!
What a lovely color. The beverly shoes are a pet !
